The end is nigh...


Recommended Posts

So its around 10/11pm Pacific Time 29 Jan 2007 yeah?

Close to 22 hours left until 9pm 30 Jan, Is that when we know if its all over? Loki vanishes from Microsoft, along with a large sum of cash, back to 42? ;P

Or is that just the "draw" for the prizes and stuff and the AMD meta puzzle could go on until someone figures it out, or untill we all give up in frustration? ;)

Yeah, 9pm is when the prizes are drawn...the Meta puzzle goes until the answer is figured out...

Well, it's 9:05 PM in California. I wish everyone the best of luck in the drawing!

And let's see if we can't finish the Meta puzzle too. :)

The Meta puzzle was recently solved by someone.....Anyone know who won?

After entering a really "Off The Wall" last effort guess, this time L.O.K.I says;

"To be fair, this contest is over and I've already awarded the prize. But please pay closer attention, try again, and help me reach my owr vanishing point.

-L.O.K.I.

My last real guess before that was: Lorelei, Odessa, Kara, Izola, but I tried "AMD Athlon 64 FX", and received that "you aren't on the right track, contest completed message."

Cg~

For those of you with ARG withdrawl, there is another game afoot. Not so much about puzzle solving....but rich with story potential and massive clues around.

The "rabbithole" is from a concert Tshirt.

It's all related to a new NiN (Nine Inch Nails) album to be released. Rumors are strong that the same company (42) is behind the online marketing campaign.

There is a great post here (a music forum) and a thread at uF (along with a chat room on the chat-solution.org server #yearzero).

Have fun :)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
