Just got my invite for the Alpha trial, will log on and grab it tonight I think. Can't wait to see how it looks and runs on my machine.

Just got up and had my mine waiting for me aswell, guess I know what I am going to be doing til I leave for work later :)

Not expecting much in the game at this point, because of the Alpha status, but will be good to get an early look.

Wish I could get into the alpha, but probably won't :( (same with the early beta, I didn't get moh limited edition :/)

I've played all the battlefield games but have found it hard trying to get them all on my veteran status. I am having a hell of a time remembering my accounts from the older battlefield games. Right now I only have bf2 and bad company on my veteran status.

I don't think it has anything to do with veteran status. The account I got the invite on was a pretty new account with only BC2 on it. The only thing that changed for me was that I pre ordered BF3 last week, maybe that was why I got the invite.

As for the game, I have been playing for the last few hours and it is awesome! It plays a lot better than I thought it would for an alpha, I was also suprised by the fact that the entire game is controled via the browser, you can only launch the game from your battlelog page.

I believe one of their blog posts said the invites were determined by your veteran status and being signed up to the newsletter

What newsletter is this?

I am a Veteran 8, literally have every single main game in my account, swore I signed up for the newsletter, and I have not gotten a single invite. Pretty ****ed about it TBH.

it is random. ppl with no games or vet status on their account have gotten in

Yeah that is what I figured, I just checked, I definitely signed up for the newsletter (I read their FAQ about which newsletter), so yeah, it has nothing to do with Veteran Status.

The latest batch were apparently all those with their ea profile converted to origin account. But dont quote me on it.

I did that Day 1 Origin was introduced.

Maybe they just don't like me. :laugh:

hmm, what does that mean exactly? I use orgin with my pre-existing ea account already.

I think just that. Linking your main EA account with Origin.

I guess I'm unlucky. I recently found out that the e-mail address associated with my EA account since 2009 hasn't been verified. I found out while I was browsing my EA account and noticed a link that said "Send activation e-mail." Anyway, I received an e-mail that said "In the coming months your EA Account and profile will be upgraded to a new Origin Account." I guess that means older non-Origin EA accounts are not eligible for the BF3 alpha.

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • 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.
