Congratulations Elliot B!

 

I just realized that on August 7, I made 18 years on Neowin as well! (this calls for a larger than normal font)

Someone could have been born the day you joined Neowin and gone though all of School / College by now, just puts in to perspective how long that is.

 

Congrats and enjoy your 18th!

December 2001 here. Don't post much in the forum but still check the site most days.

 

It's changed a bit since then:

That's the Neowin I remember browsing in School, then college! I really did like that design.

 

I believe I found the site in late 2001, however never registered until early 2003.

 

We have a very primitive logo on this crawl: https://web.archive.org/web/20010202063000/https://www.neowin.net/

I like that the first time I came on Neowin the page is in the archive.

I came looking for leaks of XP as my beta had not come in the post yet and thought I may download it using my 56k flex modem for the next month!. and stuck around after that:D

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      Faster? MBP M5 Max, I have 4k video renders running faster than Teams.
    • Proton releases Proton Drive CLI for Windows, Mac, and Linux

      By noobient · Posted

      Completely irrelevant as long as pricing is garbage. With OneDrive I get storage for about $18 / TB for a year. With Proton it's $96. For the record, Google One is around $48, Dropbox $69, iCloud $60. In other words, Proton is the worst value BY FAR. Not to mention with OneDrive I get full desktop and web office suites for 6 people.
