There is Winter Snow from Wincustomize, but seeing as the site has been down for me for the last few days I cannot give you a direct link :( It is a pay for one though, but it's only $2-$3 from what I remember

Well its starting to get cold here... and in a month it will be snowing... and I was wondering if anybody had some nice snow dreamscenes for Vista???

Sorry to be off-topic lol, but you just made me unhappy, I live in South East England, and last winter we only had one snow day, so when it does snow for you, be shure to send some along to me :p

California, San Fran, South Bay.. snowed once in 1978. We do get a light dusting on the Santa Cruz mountains that rise just beyond my backyard. Also 4 hours to Tahoe so skiing/snowboarding on the weekend is very do-able...even a mid week ski to beat the crowds is common. Sort of the best of both here. 30 minute drive over the Santa Cruz Mts for some surfing or watch some of the best take on Mavericks. Wouldn't want to deal with snow every day all winter. Oh wow, way off topic meander there..sorry about that.

It usually starts around late October... and then lasts till early April. I live in a snow belt where lake effect snows come off of Lake Eire in the US. We avg about 120-140 inches a year. Not bad... but definitely not the most snow like some other people get.

sorry about th late reply, you're so lucky even to have that amount, here in south east england these days you're lucky to get an inch all winter :(

October to April for snow... OMG i'd give anything for that! I heard the great lakes have quite a huge influence on the weather systems around them. I want some snow, i fel like i have been starved of it lol.

Adopt me please

Ave's Desktop Effects has a snow one that doesn't require you to pay, and isn't a video. (I hate the video dreams. They gobble up waaayyy too much CPU time.) It's a shame I haven't see people develop for it -- It actually has had an SDK out for a while now, whereas DeskScapes is still pretty much limited to those video ones.

Do you really have to brag? No snow for me :(

You've got beaches and hot chicks, and you want cold snowy weather that makes getting to/from work a pain in the ass and 1000x more dangerous? /confused

Yeah, same around here too. We usually don't get that much snow, but we get several big storms a year. We actually got snow last season in May :blink: don't ask me how.

And, according to the farmer's almanac this year is going to be a cold winter. I'm looking forward to a longer snowboarding season already. :cool:

I know this is off topic also, but i have been looking at the seasonal forecasts for winter 08/09 and they're saying it will probably be the winter to remember, they are saying it could get colder than normal for the states and Europe, i just hope we get plenty of snow :D

Where are you looking for that info?

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
