Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like it's now worth starting to mash F5.

By the way, can you say what your system specs are? It'd be interesting if they started selecting more mid-range and low-end systems now.

I have a pretty high-end system (i7 9700k @ 4.8, 2080Ti, 32Gb RAM) but a pretty low-end connection (8Mbps). My guess is that the connection held me back from the first wave of invites.

In all honesty there is a lot of randomness at play here as well.  Many people who won't be getting in aren't missing out for any reason other than they didn't win the alpha lottery.  The dice can roll unfavorably sometimes.  🙂

Asobolutely (sorry), we are pattern-seeking mammals after all. A bad pattern is better than no pattern at all!

Just curious, and not sure if this matters but my windows 10 is not activated yet till I buy a new license.  I just upgraded my pc.  Will that make a difference who they pick.

Mine is also not activated... never bothered to get around to it.

PS: And my internet connection is 100Mbps download.

Won't they be sending emails all week.  I thought it was over multiple days.

I’m SOOOOO HAPPY, finally finally, the sun is finally shining.

I'm still not happy. Giving serious consideration to starting another Tech Alpha Rejection Comfort and Support Thread, or at least resurrecting the old one.

That's Tech Alpha 2. Tech Alpha 1 2nd wave emails go on all week that is ignoring the fact that I'm the world's second most impatient person.

Still got until Friday so dont lose hope yet. Although I highly doubt I'll be getting in. The 32gb ram requirement is still going strong.

I don't hit that either. I've got 64 😞

I should've upped my RAM to 32gb over black Friday, but I didn't. 😞
