I'm in! :woot:

Can't wait to check it out!

And I've changed my contact email now :laugh:

Stupid.

Again, nothing. Microsoft is sure good at turning off their real customers.

For those who are wondering, this is what you'll see on Connect when Microsoft skips you:

They arent obligated to let you in the beta, beta is for testing, youve only got 5 days to wait pointless whining about it.

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?

What part of

If you need technical assistance with the Xbox 360 Fall Flash and you're in the US or Canada and speak English; you can also call 877-783-xxxx. Phone lines will be open between the hours of 8am and 6pm CST. Do not publish or otherwise share this phone number with people that are not participating in the preview.

What are you on about?

I choose to install the leak of NXE myself to check it out.

I understood the consquences perfectly fine :yes:

No, he means you didn't cover/hide the phone number if you previous post quoting the email/message you got.

I'm in as well, which surprised me because, like I said in the last thread, I deleted the preview program out of Connect after I didn't initially make it in because I was cleaning up my Connect Profile of old programs.

But I definitely got the email last night! :)

"The Xbox 360 Fall Flash update will be available to you by 2pm PST on November 14th"

Time to sign up for Netflix!

Anyone know if the update is actually live for 3rd wave people, yet? I installed the leaked update and I'm a bit dubious about going online before it's "officially" available for me.

According to the email no.

About another 7 hours till it should be Live.

Unfortunately I don't really see it coming up early, at least not this early.

I do expect it to be available a LITTLE early, but yeah I don't expect it to be THIS early at all. Maybe about 7 or 8 GMT (says 10 in the email). Fingers crossed!

    • 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...

      Got it. Seem like a good improvement. Thanks. But, before we "Add the source to Trusted Sites," how would know if it is trusted or not? Could get messy for not first Knowing" it is clean. See what I mean?
