Status Update

Ermete M.I.A WITH BASIX!!!! It looks as if Basix has gone missing with the bear. This is a BIG SHAME! Need to find out whats going on!!

https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/744484-bear-travels/page__st__375

The Bear is "CE" marked and conforms to British Standards BS5665 and European Community EN71. His eyes are of the safety lock-in type. Due to natural pile loss, they are not recommended for children under 18 months.

I have decided to something fun and interesting for this site. Its called Bear Travels.

Basically I have got a Bear printed with the following on its shirt

Neowin.net

The idea behind this is to have the Bear photographed in different areas around the world. So basically someone who wants the bear requests it and that member posts it to them, and they then take photos off it at some famous locations around the world.

I have kept the size of the Bear down to around 15cm so it should be easy and cheap to post etc.

Now you can be in the photo or just the bear but as long as there?s something in the photo that shows what country it has visited, famous landmark maybe or something unique.

The idea behind this is to have some fun, promote neowin.net and get a Bear to travel the world, under neowins name. Open to anyone who has a camera etc.

However:

This relies on a lot of trust, as in im trusting you to take care of the Bear, not steal it etc, im also trusting you to pass it onto others in the world.

As ideally I would want the bear back at some point.

If you want to be in on this fun adventure please PM m:):) Dont feel left out if someone has taken a place you want to do, just sign up anyway, the more pics the bette:):)

The deadline is going to be on 22nd March 2009 - 11:59PM This is to be included in the current line up etc, any sign ups after this will be added to a new list which will start after the first is done.

Sounds like a great idea, I'm up for it. Crazy has a point - probably want some criteria for selection, like regular DCL posters or something. Similar to something I'd been doing initially as a joke, and then because I could - http://pandasaur.co.uk/gallery/v/Series/Panda/, and I have to say, it's fun. Really fun :). Going to be taking the panda to Bermuda at the end of March :)

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
