Just some out loud thinking here:

Is there any changes that you guys plan to make to the comments that show on the news articles? Just thought it might be better for the site to display only so many comments at once as opposed to loading say... 200+ comments on hot topics all at once.

Suggestion to this would be to use sort of a "More" button after so many comments, that will expand and display further comments, sort of like Twitter works with their tweets. I say this because some sites use pages ( [1] [2] [3] ...) and it sucks simply because the comments can go on so many pages, making navigation weak. Also, a "Show All" button would be useful for those that actually plan to read each and every comment, without having to click a "More" button continuously as they read.

Would certainly like to hear the devs thoughts on this if possible. :)

If a certain someone ever gets to it, we plan on doing paged comments :p

Paged comments, as in [1] [2] [3] etc. etc.?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, but navigating through several pages of comments is quite irritating. I liked dead.cell's idea, where you could have a button labeled 'Show More' that would load the next (x) amount of comments when clicked, or a 'Show All' button as well.

Definitely this, I hate separately paged comments like that. Show more/all is so much more convenient.

Yeah paged comments would be amazing, and spacing them out a little more may help. The comments section feels cramped to me at the moment, a little more "air" may rectify this.

Well, it's almost the end of October, so maybe this thing will go live soon :-) Anyway, just a comment about the Show More/All vs paged comments. It's basically the same thing, you guys are just saying you'd rather click some text that says Show More instead of 2, 3, 4, etc. I don't really see that there's a difference if the paged comments was made with AJAX like the Show More/All would be.

No, if you were to click Show More, it adds more. You could then scroll up to see what you were previously looking at, without having to go back page by page to find the comment you were looking for. This way, the information is presented to you in a way where, if you want to see what more people are saying, there's an option to do that. Or, if you don't want to have to expand the comments as you read, a Show All button could easily expand all of the comments.

Overall, it's a mutual benefit for both the readers and the people who run the site, as information is only pulled on request rather than thrown at the user who may not even bother to read the comments. It cuts down on load times as well for the user, and makes navigation a breeze. :yes:

Fine...

But I wanted neowin 7 before neowin 6, is that even possible? :woot:

j/k

On the serious side where was our October launch? :(

I don't mind how long it will take though as I'm sure others don't either, the longer it is being refined and tested for bugs the better! Oh and BTW I love that graphic of the Christmas box!

Don't know if anyone else has spotted this... but for avatars with transparent backgrounds maybe make the little avatar next to the user name at the top be overlaid on the same colour background as everywhere else avatars are shown such as the forums... else people who have them designed for "light coloured backgrounds" may well get white pixeling around images depending on their file format / transparency method.

    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com
    • Apple and Tesla Supplier Tata Electronics Confirms 630 GB Data Theft: iPhone Specs on Dark Web

      An Indian manufacturer that assembles roughly one-third of Apple's iPhones and supplies semiconductor components to Tesla confirmed Monday that attackers had stolen and publicly published a 630-gigabyte cache of confidential files — including engineering blueprints stamped "TRADE SECRET," a 52-page quality inspection document for iPhone circuit board components, and cryptographic certificates that security experts say could be weaponized in follow-on attacks. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319019/20260624/apple-tesla-supplier-tata-electronics-confirms-630-gb-data-theft-iphone-specs-dark-web.htm

      I don't think it was ever a big question. In fact, I don't think anyone ever asked about how clocks work on Mars.

      I don't know what the price difference is between a 5GbE and a 10GbE part, but it seems that putting a 10GbE port in might be a bit more 'standard'.
