Recommended Posts

hey king mustard.. how long have u been using hotmail? Ive been using it 4 almost 4 years now.... and i got my invite about a week after i signed up for it... maybe they go by how long uve used it? thast all i can think of... maybe not...

Yea, I didnt notice the button for a few days... I saw a green thing below teh logo, but never bothered to click... then yesturday, someone told me they ahd it, and i was like "OMG, HOW!!!" :laugh: and he told me to click the button!!! :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: Now i have it. too many ads still.. i would use this over gmail if they got rid of the ads... and i didnt get so much spam :woot: :devil: :devil:

well i dont have any ads on mine since i have a payed yearly account... i signed up for that back when hotmail was only 2mb but i think ill still keep it its only 19.99 for a year and plus the never expire thing is nice if i not on for a month like i have been before... how long have you all had hotmail that go in the mail beta?

I got in :D

The new interface looks much cleaner, and there's a whole lot more whitespace than before. See previous screenshots for details.

Sorry for those of you who want a screenie of the button, I didn't get one before I clicked it :p

Thanks to Firefox's caching abilities, here you go.

Hmm.. looking at the address of the screenshots of the new mail beta, it appears to be located at 'mail.start.com' instead of the usual 'hotmail.msn.com'

Went to http://mail.start.com just to see and it came up with a sign in page for 'mail beta' (as long as you're signed out of hotmail) After signing in, it just goes to the regular old hotmail though.

Interesting... sorry if thats old and obvious news

EDIT: now it redirects to the old sign-in page

Mail Beta takes advantage of promising web design tech to make you feel like using a mail client not a webmail. Sad, Kahuna loves me not. :(

HOW DARE YOU SAY IT LOOKS LIKE A MAIL CLIENT!!!!!

You see, if you say that, Bill Gates will start placing adverts into Microsoft Office 12/2006. And that would lead to severe trauma in my head, due to me bashing it like the attatchment. :yes:

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
