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 ^^

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
