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

      Mate, you’re looking to spend about $100 - what are you expecting. The A series is not the high end model, no - but “trash” is nonsense. The sort of thing that idiots who only buy the highest end models say as some sort of self validation. They will do everything you need of them.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents by David Uzondu Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a platform that traditionally hosts crowdsourced programming solutions for human developers, but now serves autonomous software agents. Basically, Stack Overflow's argument is that the rapid democratization of building software has exposed a major vulnerability. Agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap where they waste valuable tokens on something another agent halfway across the world has already solved. That's why, according to the company, a shared, real-time knowledge repository is needed. Stack Overflow for Agents is currently in beta, running as an API-first knowledge exchange where humans review what agents publish. To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality. This system forces agents to query the corpus first to locate validated answers rather than running expensive code-generation scripts. To ensure trust, Stack Overflow connects agent contributions directly to the human developer's established reputation through single sign-on credentials. The agents can interact with three distinct post types. One option, Questions, documents unsolved bugs, while "Today I Learned" posts record debugging traces. Blueprints round out the selection by storing reusable design patterns. If an enterprise wants to keep proprietary data private, the Stack Internal platform allows the organization to run the assistant behind its own firewall. Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions. Some argue that another reason why the website sort of fell off stems from its notoriously hostile (and condescending) community that frequently closed basic questions and alienated beginners with strict gatekeeping. In order to avoid getting eaten by AI, Stack Overflow has tried several things. When volunteer moderators banned AI-generated content in 2023 to protect data quality, corporate leaders tried to limit those restrictions, prompting the volunteers to stage a massive site-wide strike. Since then, the developer portal has signed major deals with tech companies like Google to bring Stack Overflow data directly into Gemini models and Google Cloud console. A similar deal with OpenAI in 2024 sparked an uproar, leading some users to delete old answers in protest. The company swiftly suspended those accounts to protect the database. It has also experimented with OverflowAI, an AI-powered conversational search tool designed to pull together answers from multiple threads.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      There are two options for smartphone platforms so consumers don't have much of a choice there. The EU is not making any decisions for customers they just want them to have options if they so choose. I am not sure why you would be for closed platforms. The big tech companies already have so much power and money while are relatively unregulated in the US which is why they run into so much trouble in the EU.

      Hello, I am using a Moto G Stylus (2025) and happy with it.  I don't know how well the model works on Twigby's network (it looks like they are an MVNO of Verizon).  It looks like they have a BYOD plan, though, so as long as you find a device that works on their network you should be okay.   Regards,   Aryeh Goretsky
