To celebrate our tenth year we will be giving away a free subscription every week from June 1st until the 1st of October. The draw will be random and registered members can win a Tier 1 subscription or Tier 2 a week later.

Requirements for participation

  • You must be a registered member (it's free to join Neowin).
  • You must be active on the boards at the time of the draw (online).
  • Current subscribers are eligible (and will win an extra year).
  • Staff are excluded from this giveaway.

If a winner is selected and has a Tier 2 subscription already, in the week we are giving away Tier 1, that member will receive a years extension on their Tier 2 subscription.

Tier 1 subscribers who win Tier 2 in the giveaway, are immediately upgraded to Tier 2 plus a years extension. No-one loses out!.

The draw is completely random, and to make it fair, will take place on various timezones. The only requirement is that you are online at the time of drawing! Good Luck!

More or less always online and have wanted to become a sub for a while but things are tight right now, very tight, so heres hoping :)

haha, well I'm a sub... it has a nice secret forum :p

As stated, it's completely random. We offer the chance for you to win, in return for a bit more activity on our boards, that's how it works ;)

You know its nice to actually see an Admin active on their own board, so many forums I know and never hear a peep from its owner (Y)

Not like I'm already lurking on Neowin ten hours a day. :shifty:

Sounds great. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a few in my timezone!

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
