What do you like or dislike about Neowin?

Dislike: The iron grip of the staff, and the way they through warnings around like candy, for anything and everything.

I must admit, I did laugh out loud at that comment. If you think the staff around here has an iron grip, I would not like to see how you would fare on this other board I frequent. :)

They're death to people who haven't read the rules and understood them completely. And I do mean _completely_.

Like: The people

Dislike: The people

Especially dislike people who place stereotypes on others that aren't justified. A good example is an American on this board being slammed for being an idiot, with comments like "lol Americans..." and typical anti-American comments. I mean, just because some individual from the UK makes an ass out of himself does not make give me the right for me to slam all people living in the UK. Honestly, I don't see how anyone can consider this sort of behavior acceptable.

That's one of the major concerns I have about this website, as I enjoy reading a lot of what others have to say here. Many intellectual people here, but it really sucks when you're made out to be an idiot or simply not welcome to the site because of where you live. :/

i forgot about that, i hate that more than the 6 month warning period.

i ****ing hate all those,"only in america" and all that jazz

Can't believe I missed this, too. The idea that people know your situation without being in it. People in other countries bashing the U.S. (I said some) without any understanding of why people in the U.S. feel like they do. Without being here, you don't appreciate the situation and you can't, in reality, understand.

The endless Microsoft >>>> Apple and likewise arguments are endless and brings out the monster in too many people.

Secondly, the grammar police around here need to retire. Especially when they can't grammatically correct it properly themselves.

And most of all.... anybody who calls other people "fanboys" need to get over themselves. Just because somebody favors one company (etc.) over another and backs up their reason doesn't mean they are a "fanboi(?)". It doesn't matter if they are over the top and think they are the only one that is right either. It still makes you look like a douchebag for the name calling.

I agree. I've been on other boards that had mods who were the kiss of death to even disagree with them in any shape, form or fashion and they ruled with a mighty iron rod. The mods here are pussycats in comparison. Comments like "Dislike: The iron grip of the staff, and the way they through warnings around like candy, for anything and everything." would have dealt with the ban hammer on many boards.

I don't complain about the mods because they're not heartless bitches who ban you no matter how contributing you are, or if you disagree with them any slightly way

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
