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.

    • BS, I've yet to run into a typical pc user that uses it at all, let alone half the population.

    • The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
