Not much different than last month, just the center monitor. Somewhat modified version of the stock Aero, pulled all the blue bits out of the toolbars and crammed them into the shadows instead.. kind of liked that from KDE so why not. Was poking around in the Linux screenshot thread, was bored, so why not, whipped up a little program to do a similar thing, just because.

Cool! How did you do that in your terminal? Can you upload your script/how to? Thanks!

It's just a quickie little C# program (my Python is awful) that pulls info from a couple sources, much of which is already provided by the platform.. the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter namespace for resource usage stats, queried the server service for uptime, query the registry for the shell then get the file version, etc. Think the most time spent was getting the stupid Windows logo to align properly lol. It's not ready for public usage (IE, it's spaghetti code I whipped up before I was even awake and embarrassing), I can put it somewhere later once I clean it up sure. Doesn't fit into the default console size either.. should probably have it check for that and do it top-to-bottom if it's not wide enough.

Ok. LOL! Let me know when it's all patched up. :) I'd love to have something like that.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
