I missed my milestone of joining Neowin 10 years ago. However 2 years ago today, Marshall and I were invited to become moderators for Neowin.

It's been one heck of an experience. Being a moderator has its highs and lows, it's quiet times and times where mayhem seems to break loose and all you want to do is close the computer down and pretend that you're busy elsewhere. :p

All in all though, I have been privileged to receive such a responsibility, joyed to be able to give back to the community, and while I may have rubbed some people the wrong way with some decisions I have made, I take it for what it is and continue to try and keep the community happy.

You can't do this job forever (no really, it does take its toll on you,) but I have no intention of moving away any time soon. Like it or lump it. ;)

As always, I'm available for anything whether it be an issue that you have, a user's/moderator's actions that you think were unfair, or maybe you just want to chat with someone. (Y)

Congrats Nick! One of the few Mods I've seen that is fair and does not take the job to the extreme. I've asked Nick questions from time to time and he's responded cordially every single time. Can't say the same for some other mods around here. What is the difference between a Mod and a Supervisor?

Supervisor

The Supervisor group was created to take the load off the admins, the staff selected (usually a group of no more than 6) are long term trusted staff. They are given administrator permissions and can make operational decisions without fear of being over ruled by the admin group. This group also has an ops forum and many decisions are talked about and decided between admins and supervisors with the help of developers.

 

Hope this helps. :)

Ha, after the beginning of that post I thought you were going to say, "moderators moderate, supervisors supervise, and administrators administrate." :p

I envy your privilege, I would feel wonderful for the opportunity you currently have to be a Mod to the OP. As someone who has been here since they were 13 and now is 27 I am jelly but I still congrats you as I know you bring value to this forum as you were not chosen for no reason to be a mod!

Thank you for all your contribution to this forum as a mod.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
