The SinoLogic team wishes you a Happy New Year 2025!

The last day of the year, accompanied by the traditional pre-holiday cold, is the perfect time to review the news and articles we’ve encountered throughout what has been an especially fascinating year. This isn’t just due to the innovations VoIP has brought us, but also because of other closely related developments, such as the rise in cybersecurity attacks affecting telecom companies and manufacturers, and the unparalleled growth of artificial intelligence. These are the same fields we predicted several years ago would dominate this decade, reshaping everything we know about the world of communications.

Today is an excellent opportunity to look back, reflect on the year, and set New Year’s resolutions. This year, I plan to follow the example of some colleagues: create a list of resolutions and work day by day to achieve them with clear goals and measurable results. AI will surely be a helpful tool in this regard. It’s as simple as bringing out the virtual assistant and asking it to suggest an intriguing list of resolutions for the new year.

Among my resolutions for this new year:

One of my goals is to write more often. It’s not that I lack topics to write about, but this year has been rather challenging, and finding the time to sit down and write in peace hasn’t always been easy. Additionally, there are some topics I prefer not to reveal until they fully materialise, and the kind of news that used to fill blog pages so abundantly now might barely make up a monthly article if we’re lucky. Nevertheless, as many of you may have noticed, including other subjects such as cybersecurity, the rise of AI, and some rather curious regulatory changes means that writing is no longer an issue of running out of ideas but rather a matter of finding time. So this year, I’m once again committing to writing more frequently on topics that might interest readers.

Another resolution is to give the blog a fresh look and reduce its weight. After 20 years of publishing articles on SinoLogic, it’s high time for a radical change. We’ll be looking for ways to streamline the site, make it faster, and present more engaging and dynamic content.

A challenge to end the year:

Before saying goodbye, I’d like to leave you with a little game:
Over the years, we’ve endured attacks, version updates that affected content, and even a server crash that nearly wiped us out, erasing all articles from the blog’s first two years. Every single article on SinoLogic has been written by hand, directly from thoughts to fingertips. In an era where AI churns out articles like factory-produced goods across hundreds of millions of websites, we at SinoLogic have maintained the same hands-on approach to writing without external assistance—except for one article.

While I have used AI to create some cover images for articles, only one of the more than 2,000 articles on the blog has been written entirely by AI (with a few tweaks to ensure it wasn’t too obvious). The challenge is to figure out which one it is.

As a clue, I’ll tell you that it was published in 2024. If you think you know which one it is, leave your guess in the comments.

To everyone who has been following SinoLogic from the very beginning: I send you all a big virtual hug and hope to meet you in person someday soon. As we bid farewell to 2024, I wish you all a very Happy New Year 2025 filled with peace, love, and plenty of VoIP.
