10 years and counting for me.

Neowin, even though it's changed completely thru the years, is still the backbone of my web browsing experience.

Actually wherever I tend to go in the world, it's one of the things that make me feel comfortably 'at home' :)

Nice to see all these old timer's reminiscing from their retirement homes :p (just kidding)

(I used to lurk back in my xp days, when I realised thoosje's sidebar's news feed gadget defaulted to neowin, and that was my introduction to neowin like 6 or 7 years ago, even tho I only joined just over 2 years ago, mostly my experience of the site, and it's users have been fun, worthwhile and enlightening, I would go as far as educational.. the things I've learned from some of the forum posts have helped answer some questions I wouldn't have dared ask.

And it's always nice to meet new people, even if it's online looking for advice on something :)

Another 3 years under the Neowin Bridge. Makes me 11 years as a member here.

I was quite suprised to see so many "ol timers" still active on Neowin.

A great History when you look back from the early days.

Thanks for posting guys.

Thanks for coming back/staying :p As a Supervisor who's only been a member here since 2007, it's interesting for me to learn about the history by seeing old threads and members who have been here from the start.

I've been here too long.

I don't really know what that means though. It's like saying I've been using soap for too long. There's not really anything else out there which is as useful. :rofl:

I remember this thread from the first time round...I guess that shows how long I've been around.

Coming up on 9 years. I couldn't imagine what I would be doing if I hadn't been introduced to Neowin. It's pretty much the first and last site I visit when I open my browser.

I was around when iexbeta was doing not so legal things ala XP beta links, and Internet Explorer as well.

I was checking out the forums for a while and I think it was when Steve/Redmak decided to host a beta in the forums for signed up members only that I ended up joining. Otherwise I was around since day 1 or 2. :D

Gunna be around for a while yet too, can't get rid of me that easy!

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
