I don't know if this is related but when I am on the main page, I get the error page that comes up when the site goes down telling you to goto the IRC, I refresh and it goes away. I click on a link to go else where on Neowin, and I get the same error, refresh and back to normal.

Been having that behavior intermittently since yesterday, both front page and forums.

It tells me there's been a database error, and after a few refreshes the page eventually loads.

i use k-meleon 1.5.2 and i've been having problems as well. usually i can't load pages (or it takes an extremely long time for them to load), network timeout errors, ips driver errors. this makes it almost impossible to browse neowin.

when i try to browse with internet explorer, pages freeze for 5-10 seconds or so. i can see from the task manager that the cpu usage jumps up to 50%.

Apologize in advance for bumping an old thread if I shouldn't have, its not that old.

Last few days, about a week or more even maybe, browsing Neowin forums has been a struggle. It seems fine and super fast bout 70% of the time, but then I just get pages that take foreverrrr to load, load all messed up with no formatting if they do, or just get this timeout error, constantlyyyyyyyyyyy.

Connection Interrupted

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

I've tried adjusting different stuff in Firefox, no pipelining, ipv6 on and off, no adjusting of connection limits, and just using another browser entirely, Google Chrome (official version not the dev version) and IE8 (that ships in Win7 beta). Having exact same problem in every browser no matter what I do.

Before say check firewall/network settings, I have, and, Neowin is the ONLY site I have this problem with.

Its becoming reallyyyy irritating.

I've had problems with the site for some time now but I blamed it on my browser (Maxthon) what happens is it takes several seconds for a page to load but after it does it freezes there and my browser is completely usless until it lets go (usually 20 to 30 seconds if I don't click on things longer if I do). The only other places I see this type of thing are sites with very aggressive ads that try and force their way thru the popup stopper or something. If when the page is frozen, if I click too much the browser becomes completely unresponsive and will not come out of it. I suspect that either the site is trying to show ads that my browser fights with or the site might be infected with malware. There are some really sneaky and troublesome site infections floating around. Within the same page, like editing this post, theres no problem it just happens when changing from page to page or opening the site to log in.

I am still suffering from excruciatingly long load times about 70% of the time, sometimes the recent forum activity box doesn't load at all and other pages will load with what seems like no formatting from the CSS.

Starting to wonder if something is up with Windows 7 or Firefox :/

No, I am having the same problems at times. It is probably due to heavy traffic on the servers, but that is just a guess.

    • 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.
