Faikee doesn't do leaks.

And hounsell leaked it, not sure who the original source of the leak was, but hounsell is the one who is sharing it.

 

I wanted rebuttal on part "who leaked it?". Not that, Faikee leaked it. He is quite knowledgeable guy in this domain at least in my eyes.

 

The bugs that might have caused this build to not be released is:

  • The mail, people, and calendar apps do not work.
  • Folders with a large amount of items in the start menu crash the start menu sometimes.

 

And I actually LIKE most of the changes between this build and 9926 - I'm not so change-averse that moving a quarter-inch is a "sin" - in fact, if you look at "tech" and "enthusiast" sites about Windows, a lot of these changes have been asked for.  However, there are still a lot of folks that seem to like using Windows as a "whipping post" - yet these same users are change-averse to the point of hostility.  (Basically, they complain that Windows is too "dull and boring" - yet they try and keep Windows itself as "dull and boring" as possible, by objecting to ANY sort of change - such as the new OOBE (Microsoft is NOT taking itself as seriously as it is known for - that is, in act, directly related in the OOBE; it's like the change in Pepper Potts in IM2 and later - some folks are not able to deal).

They changed the pie chart but they should really change the whole properties dialog box/window. This should happen system wide, they all need to be redone now.

Nice post, thanks.

I'm with others and am resisting the urge to install this. There must be a reason that MS hasn't pushed this build out to us. I'm waiting for the official build, hopefully with Spartan.

Why on Earth are they going out of their way to make it so ugly though? Since Windows 8, they've gradually taken the slick and polished UI of Windows 7 and dumbed everything down into a flat 1 color look that is really boring. I don't know why a company the size of Microsoft can't afford to hire a team of graphic artists to design an aesthetically pleasing UI.

As it was stated by Microsoft themselves, and by the fact they haven't released this build.

 

No , but ... many of us will try it , so I'm glad someone tells the true about a buggy OS .

Bearing in mind that any W10 build was plenty of bugs ... I was hugely ironic ... Sorry , bro . :D

It is pretty awesome what is being done with Internet Explorer - maybe this is part of the solution to the App Gap - if the App's don't come to the platform the platform will come to the Web. Interesting that Google is working towards making the difference between an application and online website to the point that end users wouldn't not be able to differentiate - maybe that is the part of the long term relationship Google has with Microsoft - that expending resources on a YouTube application would be better spent improving their website and Microsoft improving its own web browser to be able to deliver a top notch experience.

Oh yes, it is nice to see that part of Microsoft's current strategy is blurring the line between applications and the Internet. The company had similar lofty goals during early development of Windows Vista when it was still known as "Longhorn," and later with XAML browser applications.

The fad is spreading... :laugh: I guess we must use this when testing the Preview.

Looks like a bad Robot Unicorn Attack ripoff.

English is his second language. Trying to speak it is probably already hard enough. Please don't make it harder on him.

 

English may be his second language, but he clearly knows it well. You need to go back and look at his posts to see he is clearly trying to troll or just has issues with things that don't go exactly how he wants.

 

I had more to say about this person, but it's not worth it. You can just view his past posts in this thread to see that he's trolling. Well, he attempted to anyway.

 

He knows what he is doing and it didn't really fool anyone here so he tried playing dumb to get out of it.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
