Neowin Giveaway: Free subs from June to Oct 2010


Recommended Posts

so excited one of your chromosomes grew an extra leg? so much pink! you think you're swuzzlebum or Kenji or someone?

anyway, so we just need to be active and browsing... it works on last clicked, yah?

Well the idea is to promote activity as well as posting, wouldn't it sucked if we got an extra 200 members that just refreshed the forums until they won something?

A reasonable post count requirement could have resolved that.

Can't expect a new member who shows up first on the list to have 100+ posts in the first week of the giveaway (should that happen). But I personally won't be considering 0 count posters. Up to the others what they do when it's their turn.

No one's saying 100 but maybe 10 or 20. If you show commitment you can get to that in a couple of days.

The tension is building! :o

Yup, can you feel it? :woot:

LOL you won't miss out if it is you, joined in '02 18 posts and a Tier2 subscriber - big (Y) up for ya!

Cheers mate, just showing my love for the place. I've learned so much from Neowin, how to drink heaps, how to eat old food. Oh the list just goes on and on.? :laugh:

    • "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
