NXE Updating Question


Recommended Posts

My friend recently purchased an Xbox that does not have the NXE update. She does not want to sign up for live at the moment, but I was wondering, is she able to obtain the NXE update by simply connecting her Xbox to the internet?

Again, she does not want to sign up for a Live account at the moment.

She can. All Live members get the NXE automatically.

So, if she makes an account that is made for Xbox Live too as soon as she connects she will update.

Also understand this, when you make an account for xbox live, its a Silver membership.

What your talking about is Xbox Live Gold which you have to pay for. For Silver you dont have to pay for, its automatically created when she creates an account for xbox live.

As far as I understand Microsoft's "profiles" her console will not "connect to Live" unless it has a Live profile (Silver or Gold). I would attempt to recover a profile with bogus information (force it to connect to Live) or attempt to do other things that would trigger a Live connection. Network connection test?

Worst case scenario: download the update from "another source" and install it via thumbdrive or CD/DVD. You can be 100% certain that the code is from Microsoft and will not damage the box, no matter the source. The XBOX360 only runs signed code. Only thing to look out for: make sure it's final, not preview program.

Signing up for a silver account seems the easiest and most logical. Create a hotmail account and a gamertag that she will never see again, and use it to connect to Live.

Just get a silver account for free.

Also I'm not sure where but I believe you can download the updates officially from the MS site, burn them to a DVD and they will install. Pretty sure thats the case but whether they have NXE up yet or not I don't know.

Is there any way i can download the update from the internet? I am deployed to the middle east right now and there is no way to connect my xbox to the internet but i can get on the internet from my laptop. Thanks.

How are you connecting to the Internet? Wifi? If so, network cable from the 360 to the Laptop and then bridge the connection (if your in Windows)

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
