Wow what a milestone and I'm still here and I'm getting old lol. :rofl:

Can't remember how I came to neowin. Perhaps a google search for tech websites to learn more about computers from but I did remember lurking around for a while before registering.

I have had gone through a rollercoaster style of computing. 5 computers (1 of them was a shitbox), later and I'm still here :)

I had a brief break from neowin during 2007-2008 when I was attracted to a local tech website, whirlpool.net.au (not a washing machine site, an aussie broadband website). Now I juggle between the two but I still do post here and that is not going to change :)

Newbie.

Holy crap, I had to check my profile to remember when I joined. Apparently ten years flys by quickly. In that time I finished high school, went to college and have been working in my field for 4 years. Crazy...

Congrats! Shouldn't we get a badge or something?

I've suggested this before. Create an (opt-in) 'Old Farts' badge for members who have been on here for >= 10 years.

It really depends on what NeoBond & Co. thinks. We think it's a good idea, because of the dedication we give this site. Afterall, not all of us are Mods, MVC's (not sure how we are not MVCs.).

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
