I wanted to post that today I have been on Neowin for 20 years. We have lots of long-time members here and I am very proud to say that I have been one of them. From member, to fMod, to Gmod, to Sup, to Admin, it has been a wonderful experience. Thanks to all of the great members and staff here (both past and present). And a special thanks to Mark, Paul, Dan, and Steve for seeing me through this! I couldn't think of a better place to be.

Best Always,

Barney

Looks like there are quite a few of us getting to the 20 year mark! And if I think about it, with the exception of something like Hotmail or Google I don't think there is another website that I have been regularly visiting for so long. That's quite an achievement!

Congratulations on 20 years, Barney!

Congratulations on 20 years, Barney!

Just 1 year to go for me... (Joined 23/08/2004).  Congrats Barney for making it 20 years!

Congrats on joining the 20 year club! 🍻

Always great to see posts from members who still frequent the site after so long, certainly is a testament to Neowin and the community.

Congrats. That's a long time. You have been a first-hand testimony to the slow and gradual deterioration of Windows quality over 20 years. :D I completed around 18 years on Neowin. I wish I had registered sooner. Was non-registered for initial few years of Windows XP.

Forgot I surpassed 20 years last month on July 6th.  Welcome to the 20 year club.  

We don't live far from each other either.  I live in Chesapeake.

Nice! I'm currently in Corolla, NC for some time away!

Congrats, man. It sure flies by fast, doesn't it? 20 years is quite a stretch. Just think of the changes you've seen come and go! Here's to 20 more!!! 🍺

I just checked and I got to 20 years back in July. Time flies I guess. My life is definitely a lot different from the day I started coming here because of Whistler news.

      As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.

      Vivaldi 8.0.4033.46 by Razvan Serea Vivaldi is a cross-platform web browser built for – and with – the web. A browser based on the Blink engine (same in Chrome and Chromium) that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you. Vivaldi is produced with love by a founding team of browser pioneers, including former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, who co-founded and led Opera Software. Vivaldi’s interface is very customizable. Vivaldi combines simplicity and fashion to create a basic, highly customizable interface that provides everything a internet user could need. The browser allows users to customize the appearance of UI elements such as background color, overall theme, address bar and tab positioning, and start pages. Vivaldi features the ability to "stack" and "tile" tabs, annotate web pages, add notes to bookmarks and much more. Vivaldi 8.0.4033.46 fixes: [Chromium] Update to 148.0.7778.263 ESR (includes security fixes from 149.0.7827.102/103) Download: Vivaldi 64-bit | 139.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Vivaldi 32-bit | ARM64 View: Vivaldi Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
