  1. Quite so, Perrie. No, I don't like it but 'twas ever thus in SL. My point with regard to "privacy" remains. The only way for anyone in these days to be truly private is to not use the Internet at all. There is a circle here that can never be squared.
  2. Linden Lab know that a great deal of minor content theft is also occurring and yet they do nothing. Content theft is definitely against LL ToS so their inaction on any given matter is no guide to its correctness with regard to the LL ToS. Passive complicity does NOT indicate compliance.
  3. @quilnux unless you are a Premium Plus member, no, in short. Have you checked your browsers to ensure it is not blocking the site? I assume you HAVE tried multiple browsers, ie Edge, Firefox or Chrome? Also you need to check with your Internet supplier's support to ensure service is OK and they are not blocking the site for some reason.
  4. This invisible object, is it physical, (ie can you walk through it I assume not)? Can you see it if you "show transparent" (CTRL+ SHIFT + T)? If so it is intruding onto your land from a neighbour (in which case you can return it via parcel autoreturn since it is transgressing onto your land) while it is visible in show transparent (it should show up in red).
  5. Is that Firestorm or the default Linden Viewer, if the former you need to contacts the Firestorm inworld Support group for advice.
  6. Ahh the old walnut of whether SL is a "worldwide" operation or a United States one. Well that all depends on your location and I'll not say more than that. As to why LL choose to do "maintenance" (their word for a service not being available WHATEVER the reason) at the time they do is because the Live chat and 'phone support services are based on the Eastern side of the US and so keep largely to their local time. Whoever is contracted to work there works to local time and not SL or Pacific time. ETA: I am UK and so LL's hours are all strange for me.
  7. This whole issue MAY be related to the fact that a small but significant number of accounts could not: 1) Log in to either Agni or Aditi 2) Log into SL's webpages 3) Access SL support via Live Chat It would seem that PERHAPS they have found the issue.
  8. @Viadetta.. I raised the change in sunset and sunrise ambient conditions with LL some 12 months ago. It was an unregarded consequence of the removal of the sunset-look Moonsets and while some at LL are also disturbed at the ambient changes, many apparently believe that the substantial changes to sun/moon rise/set ambient light that will occur as SL moves to physically based rendering and its associated lighting models on the regions make any work on that a waste of effort so any further change is unlikely in the near future. I may also add the some folks seem to consider the current lighting and improvement worth keeping(!)
  9. So it does! So someone finally noticed. Perhaps they were too busy time-traveling. Apparently the maintenance to live chat to be carried out later today (12th) was/will be initially reported on 19th?? though they seem to think it's the 11th. Maybe it WAS actually done yesterday and THAT was the "System under Maintenance"? What HAVE they been smoking?? FETA: oh dear they noticed that as well; it now makes sense. Doesn't change my initial thoughts though.
  10. One full day on and we still have the "Service under maintenance" message on the GSP and not a single word as to what is being done or why. Yesterday support were as clueless as us as to what was going on except that "some Main Server regions were being restarted". My curiosity is a little more than piqued.
  11. Yes Ardy, I have cleared all my history and caches on Firefox, Edge, and (with great reluctance) Chrome, in contact with Concierge phone support, all to absolutely no avail. I've seen "cache full" issues in the past so I am not fazed by them. I even restart my router once a week (one step short of tinfoil hattery, I know) with no change. All the other links work perfectly normally on that page, just that one is playing up. I see there do appear to be other issues afflicting other users and Conceirge Support had no idea why but LL are apparently restarting some Main Server regions at the moment, despite it being RC channel restart day today. I am inclined to say something is up, but I have no idea what. Maybe AWS is at the back of the problem....who knows. Concierge Support were great but like me, utterly clueless as to what is going on.
  12. Well yes, that is a given! Weird, innit.
  13. This is strange because for me I do not see the Live Chat "bubble" on the relevant page. I have tried both of my accounts, Premium (Ayesha Askham) and Premium Plus (there IS a good reason) via Firefox and MS Edge browsers to no avail. I should add that I have used successfully (sic) Live Chat Support on this account in the past 6 months. Personally I think the Boxy5000 bot is utterly useless.
  14. https://status.secondlifegrid.net/ Anyone clear on what the current message on the Grid Status Page means? No point in asking live chat since it is down and it hardly seems worth a ticket.
  15. Reading some of the above posts, it seems likely that the issue is another AWS-related glitch. As such we are unlikely to see any comment from LL via the GSP unless the problems increase markedly. The current spate of AWS issues is concerning, to a wider userbase than just SL, so socks will need to be pulled up quickly at AWS unless they want some heavyweight complaints. ETA: I should know better! It is now on the GSP.
  16. Not that precisely but about 15 minutes ago I was getting random errors, mostly script errors without consequences on Teeglepet horses when freshly rezzed. It may not be connected but it IS unusual. Some appeared to be the consequence of the item not being able to communicate with a central server, so maybe those ARE connected. Nothing on the GSP yet...hardly a surprise though. ETA: this was on the LeTigre RC channel with the new build number.
  17. On top of that remember that the next generation of viewers using the Physically Based Rendering model will have Advanced Lighting on by default so it is not really an option to run such a low quality setting.
  18. @gwynchisholm Henri gave a definitive answer...sorry but I knew I was correct. as to AMD, while they do emulate 4.6, the native adapter code is 4.2. The result of that is that while it is much better than it was (and it was truly dreadful) AMD support and operation under OpenGL is still poorer that Nvidia's (though the latter are seemingly trying hard to negate their advantage with some fairly nasty bugs for folks with moderately complex monitor set ups (sets up?).
  19. @Monty Linden taking a simple-minded approach to this (the only sort I am capable of), it does not seem too onerous a task to insert some sort of abort command in the viewer code that returns the avatar to the departure sim, and announces a teleport failure if the destination sim never sends the TeleportFinish? Clearly that is not so, or it would have been done long ago...wouldn't it?
  20. An auspicious date to start this week! 22 years. Main Server (SecondLife Server) regions are rolled to 581535 as expected.
  21. @kyte Lanley it is as simple as this; Nvidia uses OpenGL 4.6 coding, AMD employs OpenGL 4.2 plus some clever enhancements to give a performance "approaching" 4.6. In SecondLife for now Nvidia is simply the better option. Once SL moves to the Vulkan render code NVidia's ascendancy will be much diminished, and the AMD "bang for buck" advantage that they enjoy in many non-OpenGL games will be eliminated (I assume). The advent of physically based rendering in SL will make the posession of large amounts of VRAM a distinct advantage but if cost is not your limiting parameter a high-end Nvidia card is best for SL. Wiser heads than mine can give you the metrics.
