I didn't get in the first 2 waves, so I'm really not holding my breath for this one. They say the 3rd time's the charm, but I guess we'll see. I really want to get it too :(

I am with you :cry:

True it is only a few days away. But for those who get in, we are just that closer to creating our avatar, install games, and start enjoying it without worrying the major server lag come the 19th. You know how much that load will be? thats the only reason i signed up early, that and install hd. thats it.

Or i would of waited.

Well it looks like i didn't get in, which is surprising. I figured this time they would add everyone who signed up, but i guess not. Oh well, i've got too many new games to waste time on the dash anyway.

No, they had to let all the Silver members who signed up into the Preview program first, so the rest of us Gold members can get stuck in the server clog come the 19th.

^ bro your wrong. They accepted both Silver and Gold. Im gold I got accepted. Many of the people that come into gamestop are gold and a few of my friends are. Only 2 out of all these people got accepted the first two times around. My friends that are silver, only 1 got accepted. But cant enjoy it becuase what is he gonna do? No gold ='s no multiplayer. So he just has the dash.

So, both got accepted, just different internet speeds, etc etc is what they looked at.

I'm on NXE already though (unofficially), I really really hope it lets me update :laugh:

Would be good timing (although 10pm is fairly late), as I'm having friends over tonight to play GHWT, and I really wanted to get online to check DLC.

Do you think it will be strict to the times it lists?

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).

      AI programs are riddled with bugs, and it's often surprising to see how little this is acknowledged. I guess it's all the rabid enthusiasm spurred by the blind investments in it because of the word "intelligence" in the nomenclature. AI has no intelligence at all, in and of itself, and it's just like any other program as it does what its programmers have told it to do, whether they like it or not, whether they realize it or not...
