[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

Regarding the E-Bay things on the earlier pages. Hopefully it gets handled appropriately because it only takes one greedy ****** to ruin it for everybody else who actually wants to either:

A. Test the device and provide feedback

B. Show if off and brag

C. A combination of the two

Sadly there haven't been any shipments anywhere near my part of the state yet. Hopefully that changes sooner or later.

If I reside out of the US, and I want to apply for one and have it shipped to one of my relatives who will then ship it to me, would this be allowed? Would it still operate properly etc.? (According to Engadget, there seems to be some AT&T wireless network thing, which I'm not too sure about.)

The laptop will work but I don't think the provided free 3g will work.

I applied for one in someone else's name yesterday - without telling the person. The person's ZIP is not on the list for today, so here's hoping they'll get one Monday. I'll know as as soon as I get a 'Are you behind this?!?' call from a rather bewildered non-geek person who has no idea of the pilot program or what Chrome OS really is... :shifty:

The specs list wifi and 3g separately so I believe it does have wifi.

It does have built in WiFi and 3G indeed. I am using the WiFi right now as I am typing this. When you choose the network connection icon in the top task bar area, the available networks also show "Activate Verizon Wireless". It says you are good for 2 years once you activate it before you have to pay Verizon (100mb a day). I will activate it once I get out of my house and actually need the 3G connection from Verizon.

I updated the pastie for AAC3, and it now includes zip codes for most of them.

How exactly did you pull the zip codes to add to this? The reason I ask is, the zip code you have associated with the one that I believe is mine, shows a zip code that is for PO boxes only.

My city only has (1) mailing zip code, and this other one you posted on the list is specific for PO boxes at the post office in my town.

So if you are just pulling the first zip code that comes up with the city, then the data isn't right...?

Is there a tips and tricks/troubleshooting thread for Chrome OS here yet?

There is now: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/959950-official-google-chrome-os-discussion/

Wow so apparently this one is not mine!, it's funny because the ZIP on file at UPS is incorrect for the address it is going to. The ZIP is only good for the Post Office boxes at the local post office. So here's to hoping that person actually receives theres!

I must be dense but how would I find out if any are being shipped around my area?

Zip Code: 03275-3028

Well according to the latest post by Code.Red on http://pastie.org/1366486

that zip code nor suncook look like they are listed... keep checking back here when the list gets updated. Because I'm still not 100% sure how he pulled off that list. I know it has to do with manipulating the reference codes... But I'm not that hard pressed I'll just wait until one is provided by this great community.

Thanks, hoping I get one (never get anything). Would love to try one out!

I see others sent to my state but none near my location (its actually Pembroke but we share a Zip-Code with Suncook, they are too poor to get their own).

Yea, I actually had one being shipped to my zip but it turned out to be for someone else when I called UPS to verify the address. Lucky guy. I applied just the day before so maybe I still have a chance in the next batch. I'm going to keep looking.

Best of luck

Looks like some idiot got it on ebay. I wounder if he is breaking the ChromOS TOS? Don't Google want you to give them feedback once you have the device?

If this keep happening. Google will soon going pull the plug for pilot test project.

EBAY LINK

same county i live in, now i wonder if its the same person who lives in my town who was planning on putting it on ebay

btw the 2 people in my town who got them 1 works for the city & the other does not speak english at all

Weird! To answer your earlier question, for each reference, I get a list of all zip codes in the city and try the reference with each zip code on the UPS website until one works. Programmatically, of course :)

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
