Obviously they are doing a master backup before they install IPB 2.1  :ninja:

Seriously, some Sundays are slower than others

The above implies a joke about 2.1 but then...

I'm still having the slowness.  It took me 2 minutes just to log in, plus another minute just to open this topic.

Most Sunday Backups don't usually take this long.  (Usually 12 hours before this.)

So, (and I am probably starting the rumor mill here), but why do you think it is taking so long.  Are they taking a full master backup before moving to IPB 2.1, or are they... I can't believe I am even saying this... moving to phpBB. :pinch:

The backup seems to have stopped, and the IPB number is still v2.0.4.  I guess that's it for the rumor mill.

EDIT: Oops, I spoke/typed too soon.  There is still some slowness.

I couldn't see Neowin for a few days, due to Safari being unable to open it. I finally broke down and downloaded Firefox, which seems to fix the issue. Meaning I can browse the web with Safari and have to use Firefox for Neowin. *grrrr

I know... I was just making a joke. I was going for some sarcasm. I thought that we would have started making really weird predictions for what is going on. e.g. Some space aliens have kidnapped one of the admins (oh no Neobond... ahhhh... what's that green light that's taking you into space?) and has gotten a 5-finger discount on IPB 2.1 and forced him to upgrade the forums, causing sitewide slowness. The end of the world is near... :alien:

I know, I'm weird. :wacko: :p

Whats going on? Everyday, I come to Neowin, get a good 20 - 40 minutes reading and posting, and the site just slows to a complete stop.

I can't load any pages, can't reply or anything?

Is it the server loads that just can't deal with the amount of people or what? Cause its annoying the hell out of me.

      Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.
