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.

    • Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
    • I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
