Finally...I'm here friends!


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

I would first like to say that its been a long time coming and I am finally glad that I can be a part of the Neowin family. I was first introduced to this site in early 2012 by boss/buddy known to you all as user smeltn. I have always loved technology since the time my mother bought me a SNES and I took the thing apart before I even even played it! Needless to say, I did not get the system to ever work again and my poor mother did not buy me another system until I about 4 years later, but from that point on, I have taken a keen interest in gadgets and how they work.

I have worked in the IT field for over 10 years now and I also own my own computer repair business but I am also taking online classes to further my education in the IT community. I look forward to the future of technology and I want someday hopefully leave my mark on this planet by bringing something innovative to the world of technology too. I'm no Bill Gates or Steven Jobs, but I believe I have what it takes to make something out of nothing and the drive to help push technology further. I look forward to pitching in and helping others with questions on neowin and also everyone opinions on different matters. Godspeed to everyone and looking forward to making new friends here! #NEOWINBOUND!

Ken A.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
    • Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??
    • If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
