I think I found a link to it on WindowsXP.nu -> Bink.nu... Now how did I find WindowsXP.nu, That I don't remember.

I did the old posts search as the thread recommended, and take a look at this web browser shell I made in two thousand frikin four, that I had forgotten about:

I think I had the Vista team beat by like three years! I can't program like that anymore I think :-P

zomg, banzors! :p

It is said, that this magic number is still used. There seems to be a typo-version which is still valid. :whistle:

I was searching for a very flat xp theme, found out that M? bullies, found the patcher and looked around from time to time. I assume that i will also stay a one post wonder since i hate most people and try not to communicate. What led me to this post i do not know...

AHD.

I registered waaaay back in 2006. It was a sick day for me, I was sick of the incapabilities of the GMA900 to run Aero Glass. I registered on November 1, 2006 - the day my uncle sent me a copy of Vista RC2 Business (he is an IT guy), on that day I also opened up my TechRepublic account. My first posts were about Vista and the Intel GMA900, running one of the hottest topics on Neowin, right on my first day, with 30,000+ views! After that, I wasn't too active on Neowin. I would log on once every 2 weeks at most. In August 2007, I went on sort of a "posting rage" - I really wanted to get up to 250 posts. Then, I went back to being inactive. In December 2007, I came back to Neowin, and I went from ~350 posts to 1,100 posts from December 2, 2007 to January 10, 2008. Now, I am just making an average of 15 posts per day.

Spammer.

I honestly don't remember, but it was most likely from a Google search or a link from another news site.

Although I've only been a member since 2006, I've been reading the Neowin news and forums since 2001 or 2002. Come to think of it, Neowin and Slashdot are the only technology websites that I used to visit 7-6 years ago that I still visit to this day.

googling. oldest neowin bookmark i have oct 2004. i just now searched thru saved bookmarks for "neowin". noticeable portion are nlite, autopatcher, 98 patches, similar. however, i use none of those. :) Most of what i lookup I reject. of the remaining, I get round to trying very few.

I went to Las Vegas when I was 15. There were parts of town where these woman where handing out "Brochures" and I remember opening one up and in the back of it. It said neowin.net The rest was history :laugh:

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
