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

      Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

      Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
