I picked mine today, after paying some taxes based on the $18.35 stamps on the package :crazy:

I pay $7.50!!! hehehehe damn custom office!

I have to pay to get a gift!?!?!

But, it's quite nice.

Hope my Dell Inspiron 8100 fit in it.

Apparently mine has been received at my old house. Bleh. Luckily my parent's friends live there now, so they won't mind sending it over here. Wonder why it didn't get forwarded like the rest of my mail? Hmm.

If it was sent via courier instead of your National Postal Service, courier services do not have access to change-of-address information to send your package to a new or forwarding address.

Since all of these seem to be sent via Airborne/DHL, if your address contained within your customer information at Microsoft wasn't correct or up-to-date you will probably never receive it until you can update your shipping address.

Ah, I wasn't sure who was going to send it. I learned my new address after the deadline, unfortunately. :pinch:

mine was sent US Postal / Canada Post International Surface Airlift ... that makes NO sense *L*

I have a Customs sticker on it ... says it's valued at $5, and is "Merchandise"

and as I said, it was forwarded on from my old address.

I saw this article while looking for WLM skins

Appears we are getting a laptop bag. Sounds good to me personally :) I'll use it to bring my work stuff to work instead of my black Dell one.

EDIT:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
