You know you've been on Neowin too long when...


Recommended Posts

When you realize that your stark naked while checking Neowin.net........

When you come to the conclusion that "is neowin right for you?"

When people ask what you do for a living and you just blantly say "NEOWIN"

Or you do emotions in real life.... :no: :yes: :unsure:

When you start to Hail Neowin.net as the "Savior to all of Man kind"

...you have a nice face tan (or sun burned) because of the monitor radiation.. :p

...you install a pc behind your bed just so you can browse neowin while you are having sex :rofl:

**changed second one a bit... proper english now**

Come to think of it I remember Keldyn designing a little wallpaper for me a long while back :p I probably still have it somewhere (i dunno where)... now he's just a lowly moderator ;) Gotta say though Neowin has sure changed a lot since I first came (and no that's not necissarily a bad thing) some completely random things I remember (with no explanations, just random things!): Neowin before Hosttyme, the old theme, when Tingle was still around, scoobie, faction, moretensenj (if i recall correctly he made a big stink about how we deserved what we got on 9/11), when Neobond used his real name around the site... ah the memories :p

And I just had the sudden urge to type this... I hope its not a sign of addiction :/

Forum Super Moderator for Neowin.net :blink:

...when your samurize script includes World News, Neowin News, Neowins Latest Forum Posts.

...when you have to stop lurking and post once a while so that people remember who you are.

...when you think you've lurked for so long that people will look at the joined date, compare it with the post count, and cast you off.

...when people who joined only a month ago have a higher post count that you already and you're damn embarrased!

...when you feel really depressed and lonely, with nothing to do, because Neowin is down.

...when you start wishing for the day Neowin lets you donate your hard earned cash!

...when you remember the weeks when Keldyn (I think it was Keldyn anyway) disappeared from the site for a few weeks and absolute panic broke out in the community - we were all worried!

...when your member number is in the hundreds (Only just mind you!)

    • There are so many of these apps now that do this, what do people recommend?
    • Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
