supposedly, the public alpha is sept. 22 :)

www.cairoshell.com

They just picked sept 22 hoping ODST's release would overshadow them postponing it again. :rolleyes:

edit: look at this notice from their site:

'Enable Desktop' is disabled.

The desktop icons are not functional with M1, please continue to use the desktop provided by Windows Explorer.

Taskbar buttons may overflow and not be accessible.

Taskbar buttons do not turn white when activated and may do so only intermittently.

Clicking an active taskbar button does not minimize it.

The taskbar does not populate once Cairo is started. You must activate any open applications for them to appear in the taskbar.

Items may disappear from the Windows taskbar when running Cairo. (Windows 7 users- You can avoid this by selecting the Always Combine option in the Windows Taskbar Control Panel.)

The White Menu Bar option is not available.

Not all tray icons will appear in the Cairo system tray area.

Newly installed or uninstalled programs may or may not show up in the AppGrabber until Cairo is restarted.

Many items are incomplete in this build.

This seems like Vapourware to me, they where promising an Alpha release not that long after Vista RTMed. Nearly 3 years later, we are still waiting for it. Taking 3 years to get a releasable alpha makes Microsoft's XP to Vista progress look speedy :laugh:

A little more time and it might just pass Duke Nukem Forever. :rofl:

always called fail on this project, the "project managers" always were a bunch of arrogant nobodys who had their own ideas about how to manage an IT project. Normally that wouldn't be such a bad thing, lots of hobby projects are run this way and people learn from them. However I lost all respect from them when they started accepting donations and remained a closed source project. Those people giving donations have been ripped of imho.

    • 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.
