~8 hours until it starts? I will be sound asleep when it starts, but if it does take up only 6 hours, it might be up by the time I wake up, if it takes only a small amount of time over that I will only have to wait a few hours for it to come back up. Great timing for me. :p

We have a channel topic for a reason, you know. ;)

In my experience on IRC, it's amazing how many people DON'T pay attention to the channel topics. Heck, I've even broadcasted Global's to everyone many times and people still wouldn't get it...

That said, I'm definitely looking forward to the update. What I saw firsthand looked really good.

A simple "read the topic" might point users in the right direction. Hopefully members don't ask why Neowin is down... It's been announced the update is coming for a few months now.

What are the IRC details for Neowin?

You can connect using any IRC client:

/server irc.neowin.net 6667 YourPasswordHere

Just make sure you have a username set inside the IRC CP.

Synapse is the most awesome bit of php you'll never see :p Basically is a PHP framework I created a couple of years ago, that's being used underneath Ignition to power the new front page (and all the other pages except the forum/blogs, which are IPB). Synapse & Ignition make it really quick and easy for us to add new functionality into the site.

By reading such statements I'd want to join the staff to see most of it in action behind the scenes! You guys will need a public day for all of us to see how the system works. :laugh:

Thought everyone would like to see this small statistic:

post-2-1263554447.png

I want to thank the subscribers that took the time to register on the beta site and help us test it.

We can safely say that this test is unprecedented in the history of Neowin, the involvement of the Subscribers certainly helped a great deal!

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
