How does an unusable page like this even pass preliminary design review? Perhaps the page works well on the 16-core desktop computers with giant monitors common in the ivory tower.
- blfr 11y agoI'm not going to defend the design choices here but it performs fine on my four year old laptop running Firefox/Ubuntu, so it requires neither a very powerful hardware, nor Chrome which is a more common failure mode.
- marcelluspye 11y agoI agree. Viewed it on a chromebook and the site performance was fine.
- 21 11y agoOn my very beefy computer, but with a 10 Mbps connection the experience is kind of shitty - it takes around half a second after a "scroll" for the content to appear.
- zxexz 11y agoIt runs fine on my "ancient" 2008 TP X200. The problem is the hijacking of scrolling, and the back button...
- nedwin 11y agoRuns like a bag of shit on my specced out Macbook Pro in Chrome.
- maccard 11y agoIt's sluggish on my desktop i7/970 combo.
- Artistry121 11y ago3 year old MBA, Safari and it runs well.
- cannam 11y agoI made the mistake of clicking on the link while my kids were playing Minecraft PvP in the next room. Cue anguished shouts of "I'm lagging!" for the 30 seconds or so I spent staring at the loading icon.
- gardano 11y ago7 year old iMac with a dodgy GPU, and I crashed and burned. Can only run in safe mode now. While this is a not-uncommon occurrence for me, it's really freaking annoying.
- dzhiurgis 11y agoiPhone 6S Plus - mobile safari crashed 3 times before I gave up
- imron 11y agoYep, totally broken for me on iOS.
- OberstKrueger 11y agoIt doesn't crash on my iPhone 6 Plus, but it's practically unusable. 5-10 seconds of waiting for it to respond to trying to swipe down, and horrible frame rates while it does so.
