I left that tab open for a few hours and when I came back my laptop was really hot and the CPU fans kicked in.

      Ah, disabling auto updates. So it was just server issue then. Websockets are normally just fine. It shouldn’t cause any cpu issues when implemented properly.

        it’s probably a buggy implementation which is why they’re disabling it for now, and yea it causes server load too

          Fair. Bit of a shame though. I always enjoy leaving the comment page open and follow the new comments live as they get posted.

            eh I don’t really like it cause it messes up your scroll position if you were reading something, easy enough to just manually refresh and sort by new

            I wouldn’t be surprised if they later fix it and bring it back as an option
