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.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
