Hi # TypeScript friends. I want to create a Typescript React frontend and I tried to use the #figma #MCP server with some Mockup screens (png). But the images for the TypeScript frontend don't really look like the images onmockup screens. How can I 'extract' images from my mockup screens [1/2]

🚀 What if I told you Remote Desktop Manager is getting an MCP server? But wait, there's more! You'll be able to run commands inside RDP connections through Devolutions Agent and our brand new RDP virtual channel extension! Here's a sneak peek 👀👇

If you build software, you should probably make an AGENTS.md file to help AI agents understand how to use it.

AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.

New PowerShell script to find your geographically closest Azure location. Uses geo location so may not be accurate!
Guess which of these I ran from a Windows 365/Cloud PC instance? 😂
Will prompt for login if not connected which may need tenant or subscription parameters
