Hmm. Ok thanks for working hard to get the Forums working, great. But, I don't know if its just the college network, but here Neowin is very slow on loading about 15 seconds per page. Hope this isn't because of the new Servers. :huh:

I would try and do a ping, but the Admins here at my College have banned CMD because we had some students doing some DoS attacks on servers recently. :)

So has anyone got the new DNS yet, I am using Neowin5.net/forum

The transfer started at 4:17am EST. By the time I woke up at 8am EST, my ISP had switched over to the new DNS.

That is to say, what used to be neowin5.net became neowin.net

Timdorr, Other than ping time the thing interests me is the number of hops inside the network look at the number of hops once I get inside the cogentco network.

Welcome to the brain**** that's known as Cogent routing. They bounce packets around like they're ping pong balls. I've seen packets of mine go from here in Atlanta to San Francisco to Chicago to New York to Washington DC area to the destination. They might as well just have gone transatlantic to finish off the job... Basically, Cogent routing makes no sense.

So from now on it is www.neowin5.net instead of www.neowin.net? That is annoying and confusing, especially considering Neowin is not called Neowin5.

Just for DNS purposes, since some people have HOSTS files set up for neowin.net and would still be pointing at the old server even after the update. It's only temporary.

It rules! For me though it is a tiny bit slower but I think it is because my browser is still pointing to neowin5.net.

When I go to the homepgae it is neowin.net/forum but when I got a specific forum like back page news it changes to neowin5!

Still overall good job Neowin Staff! Keep it up!

Hmmm... I can go to neowin.net/forum, yet all the links inside point to neowin5.net/forum/whatever... Kind of strange... Is this still a result of the DNS servers or what?

Hey I just noticed that now I know how many stars I have to go to reach the end :D Just 3 left...

Its not DNS. I think its because IPB is still setup to run on the neowin5.net domain, and needs to be changed to neowin.net. It also means that peoples cookies which keep them logged into neowin.net forum won't work, and they'll have to login to post under the neowin5.net domain.

It rules! For me though it is a tiny bit slower but I think it is because my browser is still pointing to neowin5.net.

When I go to the homepgae it is neowin.net/forum but when I got a specific forum like back page news it changes to neowin5!

Still overall good job Neowin Staff! Keep it up!

Maybe i mis read but how long to DNS gets fixed? I cant goto www.neowin.net (doesn't load) cant goto www.neowin5.net (says offline) . I have to goto Google, do a chache and click a link. So I've just book marked a topic so its a work around for me but scares me everytime haha.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • How can it beat a Steam machine without a serious GPU? The two CU iGPU only provides about 5fps in gaming. That's not going to make any gamer happy.
    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless.

Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content.

You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates.

    • "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?
    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
