Yes, and it's done it on 2 different PC's, too.

 

Issue with the browser? Are you using the same browser on each machine? What about any common extensions?

 

I'm on Chrome 44 with no extensions and I can't replicate the issue.

Chrome 44 with AdBlock & AdBlock plus installed. Neowin is whitelisted at home, but NOT whitelisted when I'm at work as I can't take the risk of iffy ads appearing when at work.

 

Note. The issue is intermittent. Sometimes it's fine.. others, it's not.

Issue seems to be with the rich text control not loading properly.  It's hiding the input box/textarea, but not rendering itself.

 

CTRL+F5 sorted it, but when it did work, the first time it worked took about half a second to render and catch up with itself.

Any new major changes will require a few seconds of loading time. The cache needs to be refreshed, thus why the site runs smoother afterwards.

I know, I have been a web developer for over 15 years back and front end.  The time noted was noted because it's useful to know at what stage the lag is.

I feel this is one of the most ironic comments I've ever seen. Thanks for the chuckles, Nik.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
