It seems odd that they would have given us clues on Monday if it had been solved on Sunday. But it seems like a long way to go to trick us. Not thrilled if it was a guess but in the end this was a community puzzle and it all comes down to who hit submit first. So congratulations and good luck to everyone in the drawing.

Well.. here's a way we can prove or disprove if you really got it. Let us know EXACTLY what you're having engraved on the chips.. that way when they produce them you'll either get applauded for your answer or you'll be flamed worse than the guy that claimed TiffanyTeen was his g/f for like 85 pages in a forum... *shrugs*

"Neowin & Unfiction"

or possibly "get a mac" :)

I agree, if it wasn't for everyone's insite from both of these sites, I don't think anyone would have solved it. It took a lot of us working together and I don't think it's right for only one person to get full credit for everyone else's work.

why not just say your name?

it's going to be printed on the CPU for all to see anyhow...

just seems weird that the email comes before the thing even finishes

Of course it's weird. That's because it's not true !!!

The contest is not over and the winner has not been notified. Plain and simple.

Maybe we can get back to discussing the REAL answer ?!?

no it wouldn't.

press releases are scheduled, and considering the scope of this contest, i'd put a dollar or two on it being announced either following the drawings tonight or tomorrow around 10am or 12pm.

consider this; L.O.K.I Said she majored in 4 areas in college: Physics, Stage Arts, History, and Folklore

Lorelei - is German Folklore.

Odessa - Ukraine Colony founded by Greece, History

Kara - Asian Comic, South Korea, Stage Arts

I??? - Physics

If you subtract all the x and y distances from the coordinates, the length of the hypotenuse ends up on a town called Ida ( on the line from Mystery Spot to Hardee). Ida Tacke was a famous chemists/physicist that was the first to discover fission(smallest places ), posthumously, and the mass defect(Physical presence not required) associated with it.

I think Ida may be the last word.

Yes press releases are scheduled. Also, unless the person already got the relaese info in the mail and got it back to whoever may send it they will not release the name (laws and such) so it probably will not be released until the next day, given the 24 hour thing on the main prize that seems fair that it would take 48 hours from notification.

ok...no problem. Any suggestions?

In all honestly, if I were to have won, my plan was to put the prize up for auction on ebay (assuming this is allowable). Then contact the PR departments of Microsoft, AMD, and 42 Entertainment so they can help promote the prize/auction to various news agencies. I have a hard time seeing how they would turn down all of this extra publicity.

Then donate a large portion of the ?earnings? to charity and a portion to Neowin for hosting the site.

After all, if Golden Palace Casino (I think that?s their name) will pay $25k for a Grilled Cheese sandwich, what is the value of their name printed on thousands of AMD processors?

Just my thoughts.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
