site slowness?


Recommended Posts

prehaps neowin should close the bords on sunday while they backup. its realy annoying to come here and have the main page load but as soon as a link is clicked there is nothng, even refreshing the page dosnt do anything. a nother reason why we get a slow down is all thoes idiots that keep f5 held down in the hope the page will refresh.

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

Seriously, some Sundays are slower than others

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.

It was a joke people, 2.1 isn't even out yet, you know?

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

rename it the Neowin Browser

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.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
