Back in the day when I searched Google / Altavista for trivial answers on tech issues I always seemed to find the threads on Neowin, so finally I thought to myself that it was about time to create my own account, and perhaps share some wisdom! :)

I found it linked to a news story, I was reading. It was about the latest technology trends to look for in 2021. This forum is worthy for those who wants to keep updated from latest tech news and industry news.

I found this place by searching in the web, but i did not use Google. So, the voting options do not really apply for me. I chose the last option, although it is vague, for my case. Google is bad for privacy, and does many bad things. As search engine, i stopped using it a few years ago, or something close to this. Today, i only use the search engine duckduckgo.com , where our privacy is the first guarantee. Our queries are not given as personal data to ad companies, as Google and other companies do. And the results are basically the same! Of course, you may have to remember that Google results are personal. So, for a few searches, you may still find google better. Illusion. It is giving you results based in information that goes BEYOND the search query. It is not a fair comparison. It is just a harder search, probably. There is also Gigablast, which is an open source search engine. But i rarely use it. Anyway, i have known its since the first months of life, which is around 10 or 15 years ago, at most. At this time, it was a closed source engine, aiming to be together in the market of searching services. It has good results.

 
I searched things to find a Windows forum and, if possible, a forum where i can discuss about Borland C++ Builder too, which is something i am "playing" with, right now. So, my first thread is exactly about this. :)🙂

it should be a link, but the (any?) automatic did not work

As soon as I turned 18 (Sept 2014), I started to search for tech outlets for which I could write. Neowin came up in search results and I felt like it would be a good fit for my tech interests after going through their front-page articles. So I applied in Oct 2014, Steve kindly offered me a place, and I have been here since then :D

I found neowin after registering for Samsung developers and studying some of their documentation. I am a current computer science student majoring in bachelor of science in software and Mobile applications development 

Think it's aboot time I mentioned how I came about Neowin, as a wee lad I used to search anything related to tech, ended up at Winbeta back in the longhorn and TechGear007 with regards to MSN Chat / mIRC / Vincula days and ultimately found my way here via a cross-linked articles.

I think I've filled this out before, but I think it was from WinCustomize or WindowBlinds, or other Stardock stuff. I will be a 20 year member in May 2023 :D

Nice.  I join the 20 year club in July of next year.

    • I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
    • Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • See if this article I wrote the other day works for you.
