I don't actually "help" anyone hence the lack of MVC, if I posted 43k posts in software or hardware helping people I would probably be one by now...all I do is keep the media section going ;)

How does that not help the media nutters?

A board is dead without content to discuss :p

I think as long as someones posts are typically of a high standard putting that much time into a board/section ain't a bad shout for a "repsected" status. On the other hand about 16,000 of my posts are probably 'GH politics' :laugh:

... :|

Sethos, you usually have one of the best sarcasm detectors.... :rofl:

With your dedication to the Media postings I would say you deserve MVC. You should have got one a long time ago in my opinion.

Should be a new type of member, "Masters of sections" :D Hum for new, Rappy for media, and the gamers can fight it out between themselves :laugh:

Good idea. Who's going to host the Quake III server for the GH masters?

Copying and pasting does not deserve accreditation.

While I do somewhat agree that copying and pasting doesn't deserve accreditation. Hum does pretty much what Rappy does (finding news) and has a section named after him. I'm not hating on Hum or anything, it's just Rappy spends time finding news/updates/etc. He deserves some kind of recognition and a lot of people would agree. Even if Rappy isn't one of them :)

That is all the other MVC's do. They copy information from other sources, compile it (in their brains!) in to something meaningful and then dish it out as necessary to be helpful. The difference is Rappy gives you the information before you ask for it / knew it was available whilst the other MVC's hold the knowledge and wait for someone who needs it before giving it out.

Rappy deserves MVC as much as anyone else.

Hum doesn't have a section named after him. It's a coincidence.

Hum in this case refers to chatter, chit chat, etc..

It's not a coincidence. I remember when it was named. lol

There was even a poll as to what it should be named if I remember correctly.

he probably just changed his username first Hums Real world new's post before Hum was even here

No he didn't change his name. the posts are there because it was named something else prior to that, therefor there are older posts in the section.

And congrats to the new members of the MVC group.

I'm totally floored.. thanks so much for this guys. Something I would never have expected at all!

I look forward to getting more involved with Neowin and trying to become an even more useful contributor :)

Funny, that badge looks like it was already supposed to be there. :)

Hello,

I am not really sure what to say (still in shock, I suppose), so I would just like to thank all of you your kind words and Neowin for the recognition.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
