Reading Neowin news since Windows 7 Beta, @ 2009.

Lost access to the original Neowin account when the Yahoo mail database was hacked.

 

Mods: Is there a way to regain access to the original Neowin account without my yahoo mail?

See DM

Almost 10 years since creating my first account... This is a new account... Was just accessing the website for software direct links... Even the official websites of software do not use their own server [some] and it made me access Neowin on a regular basis... I use IDM and it has the option to use the server creation/modified date [which I preferred]... Was just reading comments [when account was not a requirement] back then but decided to add my thoughts to some of the news/topics...

Hah, lots of OGs in here. I'm close to 15 years, lurking around for probably 5 more, found it from warp2search and registered for a competition, i won something but never got it due to being in EU.

Not very active in the forum now, but still second button in the bookmark toolbar and good source of news.

I'm at i dunno cause i did not create an account right away. I've been visiting this site and guru3d since pretty much the beginning though when i was tweaking windows 2000 because windows ME ****** major ***. Neowin gave me the ""courage"" to install windows 2000 on my home computer. Neowin was pretty small back then. Here's a post from this time XD

Not a huge contributor but a regular follower of Neowin. When I first registered, under a different username, I was something like the 1900th user.  So what year would that translate to?

your profile shows you joined in July 2015

That is probably when I registered under my current name.  Previously I went by the name streetwolf.  When I registered as streetwolf my profile stated I was about the 1900th member which I guess was more than 20 years ago.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
