Well, I finally hit the 25,000 post mark. My posting rate has slowed the past couple of months as I've been dealing with work and other personal matters, but I still drop by Neowin every free minute that I can. Some people like me, some people don't, but I love this place regardless. As usual, I just wish to thank a few people who make my stay here that much better:

bigbluepride35: Best friend of 18 years, what else should I even bother saying that hasn't been said?

MusicalAngel: Another good friend who just happened to have me force her to sign up to Neowin lol.

Homer: I think we spend more time insulting each other than talking, but it's the best way to be.

Agentsmith: My boy, the supe. We don't get much time to talk anymore, but I definitely am thankful to have you on staff

BoogSoftball: Another supe that I'm glad to have around. You're around whenever needed and that's what counts most.

fred666: You settled into your role as supe nicely and I really respect how you do things.

BroChaos: You still need to get Xbox Live so I can kick your ass in MVP 2005.

blackice912: It's a shame our plans for the awards fell through, but you are definitely one of the coolest people to work with.

Aaron: Not much to say other than you're a cool guy that I always enjoy talking to.

Joel: Sarcastic and appreciates the home theater.....that's worth something in my book.

To every Neowin member who has stopped by and commented on my blog, thank you.

...and of course a special thanks and nod to all the people who stop by and post in the Home Theater forum. It's probably my favorite area of this site, but it definitely needs to be more active. So stop on in people.

Man, I don't even know who else to thank. I'm sure I forgot someone, but oh well. In the end, I'm simply thankful for everyone who gives me a place to talk about technology and the world around us. I'm sure I've ticked a fair number of people off and there's been a few times it almost cost me certain privileges, but, in the end, I simply want to give every member a chance to enjoy this place as much as I do. I'm out of words and thoughts, now, so I will leave it at that.

Here's to the next 5,000......

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
    • Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??
    • If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
