Hey @swiftonsecurity.com
Picture of a car at mechanics and the driver says to the mechanic "My car is making a terrible noise" to which the mechanic says back "Try taking out the Taylor Swift CD"

I think this section sums up the mood of most users of #Windows especially as I expect as high as 75-90%+ of users out there aren't even close to being "PowerUsers", Developers or Administrators & even those in those groups likely don't use/know many of the decade+ old features Windows has today.
Text that says " Indeed, people feel like AI is not the answer to Windows' current problems. Microsoft should be focused on getting the basics right before it tries to implement AI features and capabilities throughout the OS. The last few years have seen Microsoft go AI crazy, to the point where it's cutting budgets across the company in an effort to fund more AI projects and infrastructure. Xbox has seen massive cuts, as has Surface. Everything Microsoft makes feels worse right now because the company is too busy chasing the AI bubble. To Microsoft, if it's not AI, it's not important. Unfortunately, based on how Microsoft has treated its customers and products over the last decade, the company is now facing an uphill battle when it comes to onboarding people into its own AI ecosystem. It seems not many people want to use Copilot, or OneDrive, or a Microsoft account, after the company has repeatedly let its customers down by cancelling products and features. "

I dunno why @github.com Coplilot cannot re-read an issue that has been updated like in this below image but this really really slows down it's ability to do any work like this addition to the hugo theme that I'm extending for mroe accessibility and functionality

Hey @merill.net sorry for the direct ping

This blank Entra ID login box on #FireFox browsers that i've been getting for months now (with Multi-Account Containers extension) seems to be due to a Content Security Policy (I think)

I have console logs if that would help with a fix at all..?

Look at what I found (reminds me of the other social site) at @skircle.bsky.social (skircle.me)

@mrpowershell.com / @jdhitsolutions.com I think this would be an interesting project to build some additonal automation around this and further BlueSky Automation (like pic AltText) what's your thoughts?
This shows the interaction circle (called a skircle) of the bluesky account @blog.kilasuit.org It shows you 3 layers of interactions and shows many different accounts

The continued usefulness of this from 2016 @psconf.eu is just amazing.

For 2026 would be great for them again with a duel USB-A & USB-C adaptor.

He's bigger at the UK HQ (if he's still there!)
This was taken at one of the conferences I was lucky enough to be one of many helpers at in December 2019.

This may seem like a bigish tour of the country, but all these are accessible easily enough using a mix of trains, coaches, buses & taxi's or driving isn't too bad.

You'd get to see some great views along this journey too & you could do this in 7-10 days easy with overnights on the journey

Not sure to be proud of my this load time of my minimal #PowerShell Profile or be scared

I've been wondering what the difference may be and thanks to @posh.guru for sharing the Benchmarking gist the other day & @jakubjares.com for building the Profiler module now I know.
This is from a powershell window testing the loading time of a minimal PowerShell Profile using the Profiler Module The text reads ✅ BENCHMARKING PROFILE COMPLETE. Results saved to $profileTrace (which is in purple) ⏱️ PROFILE LOAD TIME: 666ms (which is in green) This is from a powershell window testing the loading time of a more featured PowerShell Profile using the Profiler Module The text reads ✅ BENCHMARKING PROFILE COMPLETE.

Neat #Git tip

If you ever want to commit just a few lines in a file at a time that you've been working on then you can do either

`git add -p `

or in vscode highlight the lines and and run the Git: Stage Selected Range
This image shows the VSCode Command Pallete with the text Git selected typed in It shows the following 2 results Git: Revert Selected Ranges (Ctrl + K, Ctrl + R) Git: Stage Selected Ranges (Ctrl + K, Ctrl + Alt + S )

Help! Calling for backup as we have #999 open issues in the #PowerShell repo

(though I expect this to grow a little bit before it comes back down to a lower level)

Sorry for the ping @syfuhs.net - not sure on best way in reporting this

I'm getting on quite a regular occurance using a FireFox Container & attempting to login to one of my many accounts where I get this screen which should show me the TOTP for the Authenticator app popup

Is this a known issue?

Hey #PowerShell & #WinGet people

Does WinGet show you this when trying to upgrade/install a package like PowerShell?

Here's my writeup on how to fix this (expanding on @samerde.day3bits.com comments)

github.com/PowerShell/P...

Hope this helps you!
Image shows text "Found an existing package already installed. Trying to upgrade the installed package... A newer version was found, but the install technology is different from the current version installed. Please uninstall the package and install the newer version. "
