i am really annoyed that i rushed in to buy a black one

i am willing to trade my black for a white one its got no scraches and it has the latest software 2.60!!!!!

any offers?

Most people are turned off by the latest firmware, 2.6, since it doesn't allow homebrew.

which advantaged does 1.5 have in comparison with 2.6 or vice versa?

iirc 2.0 was the firmware that added the webbrowser, but i bet that there is some homebrew-alternative, if you dont want to have 2.6 installed?

but umm....anyways, you can have both, that webbroser-thing and homebrew on 2.6 now, so whatever. ;)

at least sony know how to make a good looking product, i'll give them that, but those nintendo "box" things look cheap n nasty.

And it seems at least RanCorX2 knows how to revive an old thread :/ :laugh:

Where is Dazzla by the way? Don't tend to see him around a lot any more.

I disagree. I think Nintendo's DS Lite and upcoming DSi look very sleek. The PSP looks just like any other "hi-tech" gadget. The DS Lite is very distinctive, kind of like a baby MacBook.

Got a PSP Brite/3000 the other day when we had some blackouts. I must say that I do feel it is very well built besides maybe the UMD housing which isn't that brilliant. But in comparrison to my brothers DS Lite the buttons especially are alot nicer...I find the DS's to feel somewhat loose in their design. They're perfectly useable mind when in a game, but just in the hand to me the PSP feels better built.

Nintendo got it right when they adopted solid state media for games but. As above, the UMD mechanisms feel a bit clumsy even if they work fine and I've had no issues. I assume UMD's are going to be stuck at whatever capacity they have (2GB I think I read) where flash would have been more easily updated even if they used a proprietary format to make copying harder.

i honestly think there is nothing to them. Its a small little box. PSP looks click and definitely "hi-tech" and for me thats a good thing. Honestly, the DS looks like a kids education game thingie to me.

thats just sony though, they refuse to give up on the properietary stuff. I think the 2 gig max isn't that bad. That's a lot of space IMO for a portable gaming platform. But i am sure companies like square-enix wish they had more room.

Yeah it is a Sony thing. I just feel they'd have an easier time allowing developers to produce larger games should they wish. It failed as a movie format and always was going to from day one. I duno, the space used up by the UMD reader in the device could be used to make the PSP even slimmer. UMD's aren't the smallest kids on the block after all.

That said, it seems to me they may be pushing towards digital downloads anyway what with the 5.0 firmware release.

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.

    • 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.
