Special BETA Tester Edition SP2 Discs Arrive


Recommended Posts

I guess this is why it's the back page news...It's like old news update. :whistle:

Boy was that clever. If it's so old, why did no one post it? News was posted that they were going to do something, but no one had posted they arrived yet. If it's old news to you, just move on. It was new to me and many others here.

LOL. Well, yeah, it is the same CD, but I guess the cover is different. That's the part that counts. ;)

Actually, I'm not a beta tester, and my packaging is exactly the same (nothing is black and white, everything in color), with only one difference: the back doesn't say "I came through for SP2", and instead it contains a sort of "envelopey" look to it where they can print your name and adrees to mail it to you. I picked three of them up at Circuit City.

In short, 99% identical, except for the nice shield on the back. Pretty cool that official testers get different packaging though. At least they can brag to their friends. :laugh:

I must say it's kinda a crappy gift for what we went through! lol Oh well...wow my carboard sleeve says I'm a beta tester...it's the same damn cd as the one's you order...even same part number. The least they could have done was maybe flash us some gold cds liek we got with MSN 9.0 beta.

i got mine yesterday :D its cool but the cd looksthe same as the sp2 cd MS sent out to everyone but its a much apperciated gift :)

by the way RDX1, the sleve it comes in is different from the ones people get online, look at the first post before making stupid comments

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
