PVanish says server count doesn't matter, so it rebuilt the parts that do

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support IPVanish just completed a two-year, ground-up network rebuild The upgrade leans on faster ports, direct peering, and dual data centers The provider now promises a 41% speed boost at peak times IPVanish has just called time on a project most of its users never saw: a two-year, ground-up rebuild of its entire server network .

Anyone weighing up the best VPN for speed will want to pay attention. The rebuild now promises a 41% average increase in per-server throughput across the network.

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support A Formula 1 pit stop looks like a split-second sporting decision, but behind that call is a more complex challenge: making the right decision from constantly changing data , while there is still time to affect the outcome.

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Domestic kill switches are no longer feasible, UK government warns AI companies and government need to work together to reduce the risks OpenAI and 100+ other companies warn of "limited window to strengthen" defenses The UK Government has reportedly rejected calls to create an emergency AI kill switch, per BBC reporting, and it's largely because there are simply too many parties and factors to consider at this stage. The Cabinet Office told the BBC that it "cannot simply turn AI off" because preventing access to a model or shutting down certain infrastructure would not stop the same model being developed and hosted, thus misused, elsewhere. This is in response to MPs pushing for a statutory trigger that the government could pull in the event of an emergency. UK government rules out AI kill switch The government also implied that the ...
