yep, getting faster as the DB rebuilds itself :)

I love the placebo effect :p The database rebuild will have no effect on anything until I edit the config files to tell parts of the site to use the 2nd DB. Until then, things are exactly as they were yesterday

Still as slow as 56k here, even after clearing all my saved data and caches, and also happens to be a new PC, and a new Chrome install

I had it crawl when I was on my droid in bed....

Feeding the hamsters is fine and all... i mean they need their food!

But, the slowness of this site this has been an ongoing issue for... well... a very long time off and on. It has been long enough that the norm is for the site to be slow as hell. I hope it's not because i went from being a Subscriber to a leecher, but what's to make me subscribe again if it's always this stinking slow?

Edit: i should add that i'm not trying to be excessively critical... more like trying to be constructively critical.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
