Without knowing which brand and model AO it was, we have no way to answer your question. Stephanie's suggesting to RESET the scripts is the usual fix. Be sure you are in a Scripts OK region. If you log into a No-Scripts region the AO can stall for that session. To fix the stall, move to a Scripts-OK region and detach and attach the AO.

The Fruit Islands used to be one of the larger sailing and flying areas in SL. With the introduction of Bellisseria more and more of SL is connected. I can fly and sail further in the main areas of SL. The Topless Cruse people often held their events in Eden and Fruit Islands. Not so much any more. I think that is because there are now so many interesting places to sail in the rest of SL the islands are being ignored. Driving between islands is difficult. 🙄 So driving is a thing only in the main areas of SL. Also, I have found the owner of the Fruit Islands a bit abrasive.

If the Lab is doing something or sponsoring it then it is posted in the SL websites. When you find it on Reddit it is something residents are doing. You may also find official SL info in the Lab's Facebook or YouTube channels. I have no idea what Thune is. The search engines are clogged with links to Senator Thune and what he is doing.

@Dazzer01 There are a couple of people working with VR for SL. There are two problems. Performance is a big problem. The other is the user interface. Try and imagine how we would handle all the control panels in VR... I did get my Gear VR working with a modified version of FS in SL and Sansar. The VR phase has sort of died out. Most of us would love to be in the immersive 3D experience. But, headsets are uncomfortable. I thing FAR too uncomfortable for recreational use.

That is a bit unfair, but only a bit. The Redux (aka BOM) versions of the Slink body are the most efficient bodies going. Low in scripts and polys. Are people still making clothes for Slink bodies? A few are. But no doubt the number is shrinking. However, there are still many designers still selling thier existing Slink versions. While I have moved to LaraX I still wear my Slink stuff 80+% of the time.

Entering anything in search is NOT a risk. Search queries are sent as text to the server running a search app. I suspect the viewer limits the length of a request just as browsers do. The search apps are designed to handle the max length and limit the apps input length. So the search ALONE is not risky. However, what it finds and returns in the results may be dangerous to click on. The text is unclear as to what one is supposed to do with the 'key'. Presumably, the idea is to put the 'key' in the Monkey Wonder sploder. THAT... is risky. We have no way to know how the sploder is scripted or what the 'key' may trigger when entered. These are things to stay away from. But they are not to be feared. If you really, really, really want to check it out, use an Alt that has no payment info or L$ balance.

Hmmmmm... should I... or shouldn't I...

Let me tell you about the backseats of this unit...

Netflix and SL have different requirements. Netflix uses a buffered stream. If you have a slow or high packet loss connection Netflix increases the buffer size. This gives it time to reload dropped packets and stay ahead of the play-head. SL is interactive. It cannot anticipate what you will do next. So latency is a BIG problem. While we can cache things we can't buffer because SL has to wait on your typing and mouse inputs.

That worked for Superman too!

Blab photographers show up at the inconvenient times...

The problem is a timing issue. The process that loads the inventory list will time out if a folder takes too long to download. If it does time out, the assumption is the connection is inadequate and the connection aborts. It is then a matter of calling support to get inventory rearranged. Meaning they divide folders with ~5k+ items into smaller groupings. I say sort of restricted because it isn't the Lab limiting us but physics. Also, the number varies based on your computer and connection speed. When you get logged in all your inventory will be there.

AN alternative connection is to look at Starlink, Elon's networking system. (PC Mag review) This is not cheap. US$600 for the basic equipment (dish) and something like $120/month for service. Speed... mixed. Average ping/latency for the reviewer was 40ms... which is similar to my fiber connection. I would be asking around or looking for houses with a Starlink receiver and finding out how Starlink is working for them. I would also contact the SL support people and ask if they have any information about users coming on via Starlink. While $600 is a good sized investment Starlink offers a 30 day trial, money back deal. Plus I found Starlink 'dishes on eBay for $200 and up. This may be a viable possibility for you.

Satellite connections are horrible for gaming. Until you can change the speed of light, there isn't much to be done. An alternative is to consider using your cell phone as an access point. Whether it is better depends on the phone service you have. 5G would likely be usable.
