It's a gift.

It's a gift. I don't expect anything in return. That's a weird question.

I don't see it as a weird question, if i'm buying something for $6000, I damn well want something in return. But then again, I don't see the point in marriage.

By the way, I don't mean to offend anyone with my posts (well, most of the time), just interested in others opinions on these matters.

Marriage doesn't seem that big a deal in the UK any more ( from the people I know anyway) - it is as though there is nothing to be gained by been wed.

I know a lot of people are more religious, and it means more to them than others.

Anyway, personally if I were to propose, I would buy a cheaper ring and use the other money on the wedding/honeymoon/otherstuff.

And putting personal opinions aside, good luck and I hope it works out for you.

No offense taken. It will be on our 10 year anniversary of dating, so not like marriage was really important. I'm ready and secure with a job and house. Kinda like to seal the deal.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
