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!

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.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
