* Patrick Dempsey plays Dylan, Carly's boss, who is a race-car driver with a huge collection of cars.

* Alan Tudyk plays Dutch, Agent Simmons' assistant.

* John Malkovich plays Bruce, Sam's first boss.

* Frances McDormand plays US government's National Intelligence Director.

According to representatives for Paramount, Megan Fox will not appear in the film because Bay ultimately chose not to renew Fox's role, although representatives for the actress said that it was her decision to leave the film franchise. With Fox not reprising her role, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was chosen to play Sam's new love interest. Ken Jeong will have an undisclosed role in the film, and Kym Whitley has declared being involved in the shoots. A casting call for extras for the film has been said to call for actors to play Iranian military men for scenes to be filmed in Los Angeles, and reportedly the Ukrainian army will be involved as well.

Autobots

* Peter Cullen voices Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader. He retains his alternate mode of a blue Peterbilt Truck with Red Flame Decals, with the addition of a trailer similar to his G1 counterpart. He was modified to look more heroic.

* Bumblebee, Sam's guardian that turns into a fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Bumblebee has also gone through some changes, his alternate mode featuring a new body kit and paint job. He was modified to look more mature.

* Jess Harnell voices Ironhide, the Autobot weapons specialist who transforms into a GMC Topkick.

* Robert Foxworth voices Ratchet, the Autobot medic who transforms into a search and rescue Hummer H2. Ratchet also had some changes done to his alt mode, he has been painted green and white.

* Andre Sogliuzzo voices Sideswipe, the Autobot who has now been upgraded to a silver Chevrolet Corvette Centennial Convertible.

* Rodimus, An Autobot who will debut as a Ferrari 458 Italia.[21].

* An Autobot will debut as a red/black Rosenbauer Panther fire truck. A security guard said that it would be Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime's father.

* James Avery will provide the voice of Silverbolt, one of the Autobot-allied Aerialbots.

o Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s #88 AMP Energy/National Guard car.

o Jimmie Johnson's #48 Lowe's/Kobalt car.

* Tom Kenny voices Skids and Reno Wilson voices Mudflap, also known as the twins. Although Bay denied that Skids and Mudflap would appear in the third film, two Chevrolet Spark cars with Autobot insignias resembling the Twins have been spotted. This has led to speculation that Bay's denial may be part of a "misinformation campaign" by Bay, like the one he put up for Revenge of the Fallen.

* A blue Mercedes-Benz E550 will debut as an Autobot, he is confirmed to be the same robot whose form looks similar to Albert Einstein. There was speculation that his name was to be Q, which turned out to be false. It is said that he could be Wheeljack.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
