Shouldn't say this, but it's running better than it has in a long time now. Last time I said that, a page or 2 back, it almost stopped right then and there, when trying to post my reply.

Here's hoping!! :)

Edit:

Post actually went right through!!

there's hamsters and there's HAMPSTERS.

Completely Off Topic:-

I realise that I should probably let this go. As a person who was always 'into' the English language, I find spelling mistakes a little grinding. But whatever, I rarely worry about it.

I just thought that you were maybe unaware of the correct spelling. But to insist you are correct.... well.

If you can give me a link to what you think it is, fine. But it is not in any of the dictionaries or encyclopaedias that I own. (A lot!)

If you want to believe you're correct, fine. I don't agree with you though.

Back on topic:-

I haven't had any real slow downs today, but it is taking slightly longer today than yesterday. Not worth worrying about though.

Loading threads is running fine, but posting is taking forever for me today, hitting post and watching that little square pattern at the top right forever, 'saving post' shows at the bottom and sometimes never refreshes the page, although clicking back into the thread from New Content link shows that my post has worked

I think there are too many customisations to this IPB to migrate to vBulletin, iirc it is even a big hassle upgrading to newer versions of IPB

Anything scales well if you throw enough hardware at it :p

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
