Those who block the ads don't see the smilie. The people that see it, are they ones that don't block ads.And seeing it, because the ads are too slow to load.

We do see the smiley, unless we choose to block it.

Tom, with all due respect, don't you think most people already know this (especially those who chose to block the ads in the first place)?

No, I as well as a few others in this thread are here to check if Neowin receives money for people clicking the links or if they get money per view? if it's per view and you get money by me white listing Neowin I have no problem doing it otherwise no point I've never been interested or bought anything from ads. It'd probably help more if you removed flash ads as well.

I'm amazed at some of the **** in this thread acting like 10 yr olds who feel like they have to punish Neowin because of a smiley face. It was nothing more than a plee for a few people to white list Neowin which worked for a few people which is pretty much what they wanted. People come in here asking why they see the sad face when they don't block ads and if Neowin is going to fix it, so a dev responds he's currently working on it and have a bit of patience then he receives abuse when he responds that he's trying to fix a problem people are complaining about? :no:

Hasn't Tom already responded to you? Why do you keep repeating yourself in this thread? The developers and the mods have confirmed that they will look at correcting this. Relax.

I dont really care, i will repeat myself until its fixed. There is no need for it to be there, Neowin has been up for for nearly a decade without the need to try and shame people who are blocking ads there is no reason to start now, or alternatively if its not a quick fix remove the image until its ready.

you have already downloaded it by then, by that time its to late, you have already used your limited bandwith

i used an adblocker before i was a T2 subscriber, but subscribed the day T2 came out. i have been with neowin for years, bad times ( i have PM'd mods asking them to delete my account cause i was so miffed ), and good times ( thread i accidentially hijacked became verry verry popular, cause i had a VERRY early retail copy of Doom 3 and was posting screens, of various levels using a level skip code, pm's from mod's and all kinds of people for info regarding it )

literally a subscription at any teir is worth it, didnt before cause i didnt have the funds, now i do. ( i still dont agree with the OSX86 rule change on neowin :( )

And I call those notices junk/spam email that goes straight in the bin.

What does the message say now?

On fast connections you might see it for a split second. Slower connections, it might be visible for a second or two. It reads:

"Don't like ads? There's a subscription for that. Click on the Subscriptions tab for more details."

and I'm too slow. :p

Wow, talk about being a troll today...

Its been tweaked, I think what we have now is better than before.

I thought calling other members a troll was against the rules? way to set an example (Y)

The new message, however, is better than the old one.

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
