Sharing your Copilot notebooks - Is being rolled out

Microsoft is rolling a new update to Copilot Notebooks that make collaboration even easier: the ability to share Copilot Notebooks with your colleagues.  Personally, I like Notebooks because they feel almost like small, personal agents I don’t have to configure. They give me a safe space to collect notes and documents and then work on them over time. With this update, that personal space can become a shared space for a selected group of  colleagues, without compromising security or permissions. I think it is also important to note that your chat and chat history within the Notebook stays private. The web rollout began in late October and will finish by December, while mobile access starts in early November and are related to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ( ID 506851 )  You can also read more about the Copilot Notebooks experience on the Microsoft website here .

More software

I have been on the lookout for a good (and free) software to secure my HD on my laptops. My employer have been using a tool for this, but we did not have licenses for the Vista OS.

But dispair not! There is an opensource alternative even here. And if I might say so, a rather good alternative. I've been using truecrypt for a while now (www.truecrypt.org), and is quite satisfied with it's functionalaty. I use the whole-disk encryption, but not any of the hidden PT or hidden OS features. 

As with all encryption software, I do notice a slight reduction in preformance of the laptop. The reduction in preformance is most noticeable during boot up and start up. Once up and running, I hardly notice any performance issues at all.

I can also reccomend to use this software to encrypt removable media such as USB drives.
