We Still Cover the Same Problems We Spoke of 20 Years Ago
Amutable is an example of the sort of 'Microsoft cancer' we've long sought a cure for and shed light on because raising awareness [1, 2] can help everybody
Consistency is objectively important. People who 'flip-flop' a lot are not necessarily wrong (changing one's opinion based on new information is a strength, it is commendable), but being wrong and admitting being repeatedly wrong is a sign of bad judgment, a lack of understanding etc.
Dare we say... over the years Techrights was typically right. A lot of its darkest predictions became reality and early observations became universal truths.
10 months from now it's December already and 9 months from now Techrights turns 20. We have grown a lot this past year and the audience nearly doubled. So far our self-imposed goal of 7,200 pages per year (about 20 per day) is attainable and we're well on track. Yesterday we kicked off February's 3 simultaneous series, which will carry on for over a month to come (probably a couple of months each) and we receive plenty of information from sources/whistleblowers. We have literally thousands of articles almost ready to go - we have lots of stories left to tell in years to come.
Having spoken in length to my parents this weekend, I can share that they're supportive and my wife enjoys running the sister site in spite of all the abuse she received. That site served about 1.3 million requests yesterday and 4 months from now the site turns 22.

We're not easily seduced by "novelty" (new things), we try to judge them critically. In recent years we saw the computing world taken over by marketing people and dishonest MBAs who call servers "cloud" and every computer program "intelligence". Those are relics who take Wall Street (capital, e.g. people's pension funds) for a very wild ride, resulting in a destructive crash. █
