Hi Wolf. Welcome to Neowin. Don't get ticked off on this but I need to let you know. Capitalize your "I" and every first letter in the beginning of a sentence. As for the subject "I", no matter where it is located in the sentence, "I" is always capitalized. Other than that, you're a very good writer.

I dont capitalise my I's always either. Live with it :rolleyes:

I know how to properly capitalize. English class in high school for the most part was a breeze. My teachers liked my work and i never failed to properly capitalize anything.

i don't mind yer comment on this - i fully expected somebody to bring this up

(yes, i spell it "yer")

the lack of capitals is intentional however. it makes it easier to type during long posts, and just in general. you see, it gets painful after a short while and using my left pinky to reach for the shift bar every new sentence just aggravates that. i can go for much longer without proper caps than i can with. i am making every attempt to at least keep it consistent. no capitals at the beginning of a sentence, capitals for all proper nouns with the exception of "i" which gets used way too often, proper punctuation on words like "don't" and "isn't" as well as commas where needed, and periods at the end of every sentence. though sometimes i forget them at the end of paragraphs.

i hope this doesn't make me look like too much of a moron or newb, or whatever people think of somebody who doesn't use capitals. it is the way i do things and i will not change any time soon.

Dont worry mate. Some people on the forum are really pedantic about spelling on here.

easier than i thought. used my nickname

Welcome to Neowin. We have some really good members and a first rate mod team here when there are problems the mods take care of them quickly and I think we have very few for a forum of this size. I have been on a lot of forums over the years and Neowin is the only one I have stuck with all this time.

This is my last inspirational quote about considering college, Wuffy.

"If you go to college, learn to be a rocket scientist, and then decide you want to be a janitor instead, you can easily be a janitor.

If you skip the college, you can still be a janitor, but you can't easily decide to be a rocket scientist."

Hey dude that was a good intro. Im only into IT a bit and I find neowin really helpful and the general disscusion board is great for when your bored and want to find other peoples views on things. I would bet my house on posting a question on here and within 10-15 mins someone will have tried to point you in the right direction. I can assure you know I will be the user asking the question not answering lol. Goodluck with the driving im not sure what its like from where you live but over here if your join the TA http://www.armyjobs.mod.uk/benefits/pay/Pa...my%28TA%29.aspx They pay for you to do all the driving licences possible. I couldnt do it but thats because im a woose lol. Good luck though

    • 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.

      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!
