Very Offtopic: :p

I never understood why the US uses such an odd way to write down dates.

They use month-day-year. 12th of april is "4/12/09". (Which would be the 4th of december in the rest of the world)

It's so unlogical, it's the same as counting to 3 like this: "2-1-3".

On the other hand, when it's 30 minutes and 20 seconds past noon, it isn't 30:12:20, which it should be according to the date logic.

Thankfully they write their time in a normal way, eg. 12:30:20

Those funny Americans :p

Aaaanyway, I love those new localised pictures, by the way, they are beautiful, if they're from a fake leak or not, the pics are nice :)

I'll be keeping an eye out for the English version, I'm interested if that has a proper digisign.

They write it how they would say it. Today for example Americans would say April 13th where as the rest of the English speaking world (proper English at that) say 13th of April. I totally agree with you. It totally defies all logic.

this is method originaly from viper for russian pack. However instalation is bit complicated yes, specialy since i "fixed" instructions couple of times, because i was rushing to much.

Also about this "homebrewed" windows, seems wierd to use it, ill still wait for "real" english till evening and then decide. if ill actualy use this or not :)

What's the excitement about!! Come on, it's just a few builds away from 7077 (technically speaking), I doubt there's any changes right? If there are, I bet it's no big deal. People need to stop making a mountain out of a molehill and being plain vain. Why waste your time and energy to download 2-3GB again and with the language pack just for a couple bug fixes? Oh well... vanity vanity :wacko:

That being said... SoLoR.. pls make sure you announce your torrent so I can start downloading :p

Agreed on all three points. Though a bit of clarification, "Hieroglyphs are ideograms (!= alphabet) used by ancient Egyptians". This is 100% true. Though they spoke Arabic primarily and earlier, Aramaic. Which was my point. I just didn't structure my response properly, I suppose.

Nope, they spoke Coptic earlier, and it is still used in Church services to this day (Coptic Christians form about 15% of the population of Egypt): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_language

Please do not spread undocumented misinformation. Thanks.

...Please do not spread undocumented misinformation. Thanks.

Responded via PM as there is no need to carry on a discussion on languages in ancient Egypt on this thread.

It's bad enough the other thread became a Jesus debate.

ON TOPIC:

With RC pretty damn close, I've decided to wait it out. 7077 is running quick and smooth for me. Waiting for

the official public RC seems the best thing to do.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
