Yeah it's rediculous i mean I had atleast 6 years of stuff from just about every computer I owned on that hard drive. It was inpractical to back it up all the time cus i mean it was like 40 gb of stuff. ANd i just got this one, I cashed in my work vacation to get it. So yeah lifes great.

if those thieves dropped your monitor, wouldn't they have their fingerprints on them? perhaps you could send it to a DNA lab, get it analysed (there's a fee), get a baseball bat... :shifty:

anyway, sorry man, i know if my computer got stolen i'll be crying like a little bitch.

That sucks on so many levels man. I feel for you!!!

I stayed at a hotel once on a business trip, while I was in the shower I heard the door open in my room and thought it was a friend of mine who was with me. Well when I came out, my stuff had been gone thru and all my cash was gone, I had over a grand on me to make some purchases, oh well treats me right for caring that much cash on hand. But when I went to the hotel manager, they would do nothing about it. SUCKS!!!!!

My aunts place was broken into last year also, took ALL her DVD's DVD player, computer, brand new digital camera TV etc and we found out it was a kid who lived across the street. She never did get her stuff back.

I would go ballistic if that happened to me. I have everything on my hard drive. My life, my soul :), everything! My drive has data that was created a good 8 years ago on there. Not including all my personal movies and stuff!

Yeah, ditto. I rigged mine so that I can attach a Kensington lock to it, by cutting a little hole in the case and putting some washers behind it, so that's what I use when it's in my dorm.

that sucks so much, same thing happened to me. stole my computer, dvd player, TVs, dreamcast and 8 games, n64 and 24 games, and my moms wedding ring. didnt get my baseball cards and memorablilia, which are worth more than all of that combined. insurance covered most of it though, got a better computer than we had before. it jsut really ****ed me off that someone came into my house like that.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
