Ok so I watched the vid at the end the got the page http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/on_the_run that flashed across the sceen really fast.

The last two lines on the page are boggling me:

"When the time is right, I?ll ask you a question. For now, follow this trail to get the word it leads to." (Sounds like a riddle, think it has to do with the odpathi> of "on_the_run")

And then "Contact Me." at the bottom of the page.

So i send an email to [email protected] and get back:

[indenfrom [email protected] <[email protected]> 9:01 pm (1 hour ago)

reply-to [email protected]

to <removed>@gmail.com

Life is a mix of work and play. You've found play...

Then I sent an email to [email protected] and got back:

[indenfrom Loki . (Confidential) <[email protected]> 10:20 pm (30 minutes ago)

to <removed>@gmail.com>

date Jan 9, 2007 10:20 PM

subject Out of Office:

mailed-by smtp.microsoft.com

Hmmm. Not quite what I had in mind. Try harder - then listen closely.

I think the intent is either a sound file to find or a phone number to call, but I am stumped (and a bit foggy eyed at this poin:wacko:o: ) and must go get rest. I thought I'd at least throw this out there....

-K

[email protected] - i shot an email that way, no reply ... i wonder if v has something to do with this... and why would it be confidential...

so i happen to pause the newest video at the this wierd point don't know if it will help but i took a screen shot of it

maybee it is nothing but it looks as though it was suppose to look like this if you watch she tips her head and pulls down her glassesshe looks like a cat

I found these images, much like everyone else and touched them up just a tad.

I am thinking that you use these pictures in conjunction with the hidden pictures in the other 36 puzzles that we don't have access to yet, and that they may lead to the answer of some even tougher riddle

I saw that unfiction started an email referral thread ... maybe we should start one too; this will allow all of neowin to get those 200 extra points. Because if 1 person signs up then another and so on and so forth so my email is 007ate007(AT)gmail.com if any1 is signing up and wants to refer please do.

the refferals are garbage to try to get, because for signing up that persom gets 20 points, you get 10...that actually LOWERS you odds of winning this thing hehe :p

I am trying to organise a live web feed of this Sundays Sydney event, not sure that it will be as good as the last one but if i can get the connection organised I will give everyone on neowin the details to watch, that way we can be the first community the have the info :p If anyone is Sydney is coming please PM me, and if anyone in Sydney has a wireless internet connection definetly PM me.

its definitely worth it

OK, so I've been thinking about Loki's last message, the one you get when you e-mail her at Microsoft.

"Hmmm, not what I had in mind. Try harder -- then listen."

I just had a brainstorm. Try harder. What do you do when you can't get a hold of someone by e-mail, but you need to contact them? You CALL them. OK, so where do we call? Rather than calling random numbers ... we know where she works already. I called Microsoft. When the IVR (Interactive Voice Response) asked me to say the name of the person I wanted to speak to, I said ...

Loki.

The system didn't understand. So I said it again. And again. Then my wife walks in. "Why on earth do you keep saying that?"

Still, I think this is the right track. OK, so the IVR doesn't recognize "Loki". So I figure, we either need her extension number, or we need to find her real name.

Thoughts?

Edit: Oh, and I thought of using either 31415 and 31416 as her Extension number, too, but to no avail. I wonder what would happen if I call in the morning, speak to an operator, and say ...

"I know this sounds crazy, but if I were to ask you to connect me to ... Loki ... could you do that?"

Eh, what was that 4 digit pin from the beginning? most corporates use 3, 4 or 5 pin numbers as extensions....

hmm any ideas where they got the number from?

It might be important so here is what the message says:

Male Voice: venus

Female Voice: 4, 2, 1, 7

BEEP

Male Voice: vru

Female Voice: 8, 2

BEEP

Male Voice: quart

Female Voice: 4, 2

The numbers are wrong! (taken from lost)

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
