Heya guys!

Finally.

After 8 years, 5 months and 9 days I finally hit the milestone that I would never have thought to hit in the beginning.

It's been a wild ride on here, there are so many people around here I'd like to thank for giving me such a great time and so much joy, hours of debates, talk, chat, chit-chat, friendship, help, giving help, ...

Neowin was, is and will for quite some time be the living room on the internet for me.

When I open my browser, Neowin opens and that's where I usually stick for some time, then move on to Youtube and the rest of my browsing.

90% of the time I have a Neowin tab open and whilst not all is rosy around here, it's way too awesome to say good bye.

I found it's usually phases in which I'm fed up and I keep coming back.

Not to devaluate my own critique, but I just love this place.

I really don't know what special things to do for Neowin, apart from maybe, yes, there is something I could do.

If you guys want, I can make a small collage of my city and post it on here.

If it wasn't fall time, I'd probably make something more special outside, but we can always save some more exciting things for the next milestone. (Y)

Before and After:

As a side effect I'm not top poster #111. :)

Not too long ago I celebrated being top #200 poster. :D

In fact, this is just a little more than 11 months ago, and boy, I really got more active in the past two years.

I remember me having something around 2-3k-ish posts on here in 2010, now this year in January I believe I cracked the 7k mark, cracked the 8k mark about 2 months later.

Now whilst it took me considerable more time to get to 10k than I thought, I actually wanted to combine 10k with my 8 year anniversary, I think it's better late than never.

Yes, this remark was obligatory. Not that there's anything wrong with having high post count, mind you. Keep going!

Haha, indeed.

Thank you and happy birthday to you! :D

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      If built properly, swapping out the backend should be an easy task, but as the article points out, it's just Apple not wanting to do this.
    • Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been delivering a lot of changes for Xbox Insiders to test in recent weeks, and today, another wave of changes aimed at consoles was announced. The latest drop is testing features that let users find mutual friends easier, customize their UI, and streamline wishlisting. When looking at an Xbox friend's profile, an option will appear to see mutual friends, perhaps to get a refresher on how you know that person. This will depend on the privacy settings. The same applies to when checking the profile of a person who is not in the friends list, offering a quick way to find out if this is a known connection. Next, Microsoft is giving the option to change how the 'Home' and 'Games & Apps' sections show off available games. There is a new poster style that users can enable for an "immersive library experience." "We’ve also made personalization settings easier to navigate and customize by separating Home and My Games & apps into separate sections," adds the company. "And to make personalization even more accessible, we’ve added new shortcuts throughout menus, so you can quickly jump in and tailor your XBOX experience the way you want." Moreover, heading to the store page of an unreleased game will now offer players the option to wishlist directly from the game card. Lastly, Microsoft is making a change to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles that are in Sleep mode, making them use the more energy-saving 'Shutdown' mode instead automatically. The company says this can increase power savings by up to 20 times without impacting "performance, gameplay, or your ability to receive system, games or apps updates overnight." The only down side seems to be a longer startup time that can take up to 45 seconds. The setting was originally introduced in 2023, and this is only the latest update to it. The power option can be changed from the console settings at any time. This Xbox Insider update is rolling out today to select members of the program. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.

      2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.
