C'mon Microsoft Canada. Send those bags! :p
I can't wait --- it will be a nice bag for my new MacBook that I'm planning on buying :yes:
Oh come on, be proud that you're one of the beta testers for the software that thousands of people use every day! :cool:

Still waiting in Canada. Maybe we'll get something better, just because we had to wait longer. :laugh: (I can keep dreaming, right?)

If only they would send us something better for making us wait :D . Seriously, though... I didn't beta test for a reward -- I'm glad I was in the Private Beta and didn't need to wait for it to go public! That was reward enough for me :yes: .

well i've had mine a couple days now here in australia and i've done some modding to it. i've removed the two white rubber windows live messenger tags, pealed off the green and blue windows live messenger men from the front flap and replaced it with a HIM band logo of the heartagram. its a sweet bag.. but there was no way i was gonna be caught dead walking around with all the windows live messenger stuff on it.

Just got mine today (in Brisbane, Aus). Although it looks alright, it's a little too small for my liking; I found it pretty hard to squish my 14" tablet into the bag. Anyways, I guess I should look a gift horse in the mouth :p

Thanks Microsoft! :D

Could you possbily tell me how you were able to take off the Messenger Logo on the bag?

I would also like to do this possbily :p.

It was quite simple actually.. just used the nails on my fingers.. it took a while.. better part of my train trip from my place into the city which is a 50min trip. under the space where the logo was there is a small colour difference that can be noticed in different light. as long as you put your logo/design over the same area it won't be noticeable unless people are really trying to find it.

I'm not sure whether this has been posted before. I've tried doing a search on "live messenger bag" but none of the results show that this has been posted. I was a bit surprised to receive a bag from Microsoft for helping them to beta test WLM. I don't have a camera with me at the moment but I saw these pictures from another forum. (I don't take credit for the photos and thanks to whoever they belong to.)

Loving it!!! The quality of the bag is pretty good too, not cheap & crappy material... :D

EDIT: I just realize it has been posted. Sorry.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
