I got mine it pretty cool...

My girl friend opened it and signed in with my stuff as the owner which is cool with me and she took the photo. Turns out after a hour searching for a option to change the picture over various sessions I emailed Google Ninja ChromeOS Support (not joking) and I got a reply in a few hours confirming that I cant change the picture. Of course I replied that its a simple feature , yada yada yada. Not that big of a deal but its a bummer. If you skip the picture setup you can not add a picture later as well.

Rep said it might come later...

Other then that its cool as it was free and its serves it purpose well, love the feel over the rubber matte finish everywhere. Need to see later builds of it to pass judgment but the device is interesting.

Thanks for the cool laptop Google!

** EDIT **

In the replay I also asked Google rep if there is a way to reset / remove the owner user.

Well, so far there has only been one shipped to my city (the capital city of my state, no less!), and it was delivered at about the same time I saw this thread and applied for one. I'm hoping to maybe get one in one of the next couple of batches. Two things I've noticed though: 1. there seem to be a LOT of them going to Jacksonville, FL (kept seeing them when searching those pastie pages for my city, Jackson, MS). 2. those lists on pastie chew up a hell of a lot of RAM, they nearly lock up IE on my Dell Mini 10!!

So if I am understanding this right so far out of the 3 batches sent out so far (that have been posted on pastie) only an estimated 6000 netbooks have been sent out, out of the 60,000 that were made in production?

what does ! in front of your city mean?? on the pastie links thing

i.e.

(!) SHREWSBURY, MA, US

not my city just an example

It means that the address had an issue with shipping I guess. Hoping that UPS fixes the issues with that address.

I believe that means that they're getting ready to be shipped out in the next batch

Edit: Nevermind, that only applies to my city, must be a coincidence

That just means that it hasn't been successfully delivered at the time that the list was generated. For example, if it hasn't been shipped, if it's enroute, or if there was a delivery exception (e.g. address doesn't exist), there will be a (!).

Trying to get one using all possible sorts of combinations, filling in BELGIUM (EUROPE) in state et cetera :p It worked with Microsoft before, actually received stuff that was meant to be US only, now let's hope Google doesn't manually check these ^^

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
