Guess when Neowin will hit 11 million posts and win a sub2


Recommended Posts

Suggestion: Give an extra price to the member making the actual 11,000,000th post. A t-shirt or a surplus Windows 8 licence perhaps.

Good idea.. I want to save a Windows giveaway for something else :)

 

I already have that date :p

Which poses the question...what if people/can people pick the same day? Multiple subs given out?

If 6 people guess the correct date, the first five to submit that date win. That's how it works :)

Thread reopened, we have 4 winners! So many were close, well done guys!

Yorak September 17, 2013 - Winner!

Unless someone was watching we don't know who made the 11,000,000th post, because of deleted, unapproved, spam posts being removed from the post totals, the numbers are different :P

 

I've applied the subs to the winners and contacted them all including littleneutrino for a choice of T-Shirt.

Yay! Congratulations!

 

Can we expect a front-page coverage of this sweepstakes' results?

Announced here instead:

Well, that just sucks. :P 

 

Just kidding, congrats to the winners. 

Is it to early to get started?, uh.. Jan 2015?

 

At the going rate, I guesstimate that the 12 millionth post will be made no sooner than Aug-Sept 2016. :/ At first I thought: It sucks having to wait this long for the next milestone. And then I remembered that life wasn't a destination but a journey! So, I just hope that we can re-new the most members online record before that time!

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
