Neowin Giveaway: HP Data Vault X510 2TB


Recommended Posts

PLease see the first post, the rules have been updated

And the idea that people might just enter as often as they wish, like your original rule stated never entered your minds that someone just might?

I think everyone that entered in each time up till now should count as an entry. You can't go changing rules in the middle of the game!

Of course you can, their competition and no - Just because some no-lifers went crazy, shouldn't give them an advantage. A fair shot for everyone is how it should be,

massive kudos to bdsams for seeing reason (Y)

Haha poor Maz all that time wasted.

Of course you are going to say that, you just wasted 1 day of your life spamming the damn forum.

Haha it's fine by me actually. I thought it was ridiculous as well (something like 10 entries a day or useful conversation only in the giveaway description would have worked), but didn't want to have a terrible disadvantage to anyone else who tried entering 100+ times xD

I'll play the game however anybody else plays it as long as it's by the rules :)

Good attitude :)

i guess when a subscriber cries, neowin listens.

you had all the time in the world to establish the ground rules and you renege on them half way through the contest. Why?, because people were actually following your rules !!

I was working from home, randomly refreshing the page and adding an entry as I saw an opening. Now you consider it spam...but for anyone who entered twice, their second entry wasn't considered spam. I bet no one cried over the guy who only entered in twice.

200 posts is bloody spam, 2 posts is not whatever way you look at it, you are just crying because you wasted all that time.

    • 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
    • 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'.
