I know how these things work, I've been implementing them for the majority of my life.

Good for you

I still don't think the problem is at Sony's end. If they had servers that were bouncing off the roof with traffic they would reconfigure the routes etc.

That's done automatically

I think it's more down to ISPs

If a local server can't handle the load you're redirected to another one under less stress. The route to that other server however can be slow, and yes, you can blame the ISP on that. But that takes us to the first problem again, if the local server was able to handle the load you wouldn't need to use that slow route now would you?

I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying that it might also be a problem on Home's servers. That's all we can do anyway, take a wild guess.

Again, I know how load balancing works and that wouldn't take you down a 'slow route'.

This is a fault with ISP's and traffic shaping/management - I'm 99% sure of it.

You seem to be missing my point, I already agreed with you on slow routes being the ISP's fault.

But for some reason you keep denying the possibility that the 'local' servers can be overloaded in the first place, directing you to other less stressed servers, even though their accessibility might be affected by slower connections (ISP's fault).

And please, don't bother pulling ranks again, this is the Internet, no one cares.

'pulling ranks'?

I think he means talking about how you work with the subject.

But that's not the point, people are going away from the main point of the subject, if your going to talk/bicker/argu between yourselves about how thigns are done or should be done you could atleast go to a topic that was made for it.

Save us all a headache. :p

They should of put some of the features in home onto the XMB first. It is really stupid to make someone join another program before you can invite someone to a game. Also their beard selection still sucks. lol.

The beards really, truly do suck. That is why I have a creepy mustache LOL

I would love to know how you invite someone into a game without going into home first. Because in Warhawk you can't do it. It is something that needs to be on the XMB before they put it in home. It needs to be console wide instead of game specific.

erm, send a message via XMB?

You can't send an invite to another player to join a game you are in, in every single game. That is why they need to make it like 360 so you can.

Um, in every PS3 game, I can access the in-game XMB when a friend gets online, and send a quick message to them to jump on in. Maybe not an official invite quick link to the exact game, but then again, I don't play that many online games.

Yea I'm not talking about sending them a message to get into a game. I am talking about sending them an invite to join the game or server you are in. Like I said it needs to be set up similar to the 360.

Some games you can, some you can't... I expect the newer titles will have the ability to do this.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By Bdpy · Posted

      my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
