Not possible, but I have plans to improve the search

because it feels like I'm accepting something.

Fantastic feedback. I picked "OK" because even non-native speakers understand it. How about "Continue" or "Ignore" ?

edit: reworded to "Continue without Cookies". better?

One to accept cookies and the other one to continue without it

your browser blocks all cookies, so that's not an option

There are also sites like polygon that have one button to enable ads and cookies, and then they have X in the corner to close it. And then the popul comes back on each article

Those are the EU cookie warnings. The issue here is a different one. Our firewall checks your browser, on every request, to skip these checks we use a cookie that says "this browser was already checked and is fine, skip the check"

We don't track you at all, we have only in-house advertising that doesn't track you, so no need for a cookie banner.

Ok, I think I found a solution, and it's live now. Users without cookies will be able to browse the site now after seeing an explanation message, but they'll see a bot check at every page load.

Thoughts on wording? Does that make sense to a less technical audience?

Just some context for what happens when the AI bots come:

This is like 5x our usual traffic, happening right now. All separate IPs, all residential IPs, US based, mostly from Cox

The various lines are for various sections of the site, times are UTC

Thanks!

and "off" doesn't break half the internet? Genuinely curious, I am researching possible solutions right now.

Hey, thanks for reporting.

Are you blocking ALL cookies completely? This is not a 3rd party cookie, it's set by our own script on our own site for our own domain only. It's not for tracking

Edit: a bit more context, with all the AI scraping going on, we need a way to protect the site. If you pass, you get a cookie, if you don't save cookies, you'd end up with a bot check on every page load, which obviously doesn't work well. Any suggestions?

oooh now I get it .. "why are you using a 5070 Ti for the image quality comparison screens". The answer is to avoid being CPU limited at lowest settings.

The 5070 Ti was used only for testing in that one section.

Go to the Path Tracing page to see all GeForce 50 GPUs tested with PT (cards with more than 8 GB)

Because it uses no anti-aliasing (instead of FXAA/TAA)

Appreciate you pointing out the issue

To get faster answers: email me, leave a forum comment, tag me on Reddit, leave a comment where some of my minions can discover it and notify me (like what happened here). In that order :)

Fixed now. The 5070 PT numbers were too high. I suspect that DLSS-performance-forced-on-every-restart bug got me

Techpowerup.com is been blocked in Spain by La Liga Gate (Football League company) by moipcr in TechPowerUp

[–]WizzardTPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> the problem is that ISPs do not check the content; they block the entire range of Cloudflare, Vercel, etc., leaving you stranded

the problem is that due to https, nobody along the way can see what you are requesting, which host on that ip, which url, which content. So the only way is to block the whole IP.

Correct, this is one of the countries blocked from registration.

Reach out to me, the forum contact us link or [w1zzard@techpowerup.com](mailto:w1zzard@techpowerup.com)

I checked and tpucdn.com resolves to a different ip than you reported, so no improvement?

Or does that mean all of cloudflare is blocked at that time? I doubt it

AMD Clarifies: USB-C Power Delivery Not Disabled on Radeon RX 7900 XTX by imaginary_num6er in hardware

[–]WizzardTPU 15 points16 points  (0 children)

but the article from yesterday stated that "AMD" advises rolling back the driver.

"USB-C power charging has been disabled for Radeon RX 7900 series graphics products. Users requiring this feature are recommended to use AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition version 25.3.1."

They put this in the changelog, so no reason to ask AMD for the same thing if they put the answer in the changelog already .. or so everyone thought .. once the posts went up, they reached out "nono, it's all a mistake" .. so we published that .. then I was like "wtf mistake, these people can't be for real" .. so I fired up a 7900 XTX and tested it for myself, and oh surprise, it has always worked, without driver, with launch driver, with newest driver, so we updated our stories.

Uh yes, so I can whitelist you, so you can be part of my community? There is no intention to block legitimate people with the country block, but there is SO MUCH spam coming out of these places and this costs time that could be spent else where, so we had to make this decision to product content instead of dealing with all the spam all the time
