you get into a row of seats...of about...8 (i was in the middle, woot) anyway, you get taken up this high tower and you sit up the top for about 40 seconds, which feels like ages. and you're freaking out coz it's soooooo high....then you know when it's gonna fall, and you free fall so fast that you can't even scream. it comes to a stop and your stomach is in your throat. it's the strangest feeling in the world. and all you can do is laugh when you get off. it's amazing!!! ohh, it's making me tingle just thinking about it! haha...

I personally love loops :heart: I could go for an infinitive amount of loops and vertical twists on a rollercoaster, they're kick ass! :D Also, the best moments of a coaster is when it has reached it's first rise to the top and you start building speed as moving towards the ground at a great speed.. :cool: :woot: My friend was working at an amusement park last summer so I went to ride all the rides there for free when she had a day off! :D She got bored after a few hours but I insisted that we kept on going to the great rollercoaster there! LOL :D

The Giant Drop:

Fast facts

? Riders' legs dangle freely from the open air 8-seat gondolas.

? The Giant Drop shares the tower that supports the Tower of Terror.

? What's stopping you? A sophisticated magnetic braking system stops the gondolas metres from the ground.

? Free fall time is 5 seconds. The winch to the top takes approximately 90 seconds.

? Falling 120 metres is the equivalent of falling from a 39-storey building.

1. It's the tallest free fall ride in the world

2. It created structural design and construction history for rides of this type

3. The dual 8-seat gondolas were used for the first time on a ride of this height and design.

    • 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.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
