Feeling better?

Yes, besides a cough, I'm good now. No, it doesn't include the print patch. For some unexplainable reason, it also broke something entirely different and I didn't want to risk functionality loss.

hey bangbang, why do you update daily?

um because there are daily updates.

These are nightly builds in case you didn't know, not release builds. They are the very latest code and are not gauranteed to be stable, there are usually things broken.

umm, that is incorrect. If firefox didn't make an "unstable" build, they wouldn't release it to the public without having it being tested first. Since there is nightly builds... they are stable, and whatever is tweaked, is tested before posting (Y). they have a full 24 hours to test it out before launching a nightly build.

Sorry man, but flightmike1 was right. The nightly builds are often plagued with severe issues, especially early on in a branch merging. They do not spend the entire 24 hours testing a build. They simply compile it and, if it completes, they upload it. They may smoke test them, to some degree, but I'm not 100% on that.

Well, BangBang, I haven't got the slightest idea what you're actually doing here but it seems you're making a significant contribution to the Neowin community so I want to thank you for that. Since I haven't heard of SSE2 I'm doubting my processor supports it (Athlon XP) but thanks all the same for doing whatever it is you're doing!

Thank you XenonicRob. Basically, I optimize the code base to run more quickly on systems that support the SSE2 instruction set. Your processor does not support it, unfortunately. While I don't contribute to the Fx world as many other do, I hope my builds so help out some people, at least.

Guys like mmoy or guys who submit patches that get used in the official code. I'm a builder, but the coders do a lot more work than I.

    • I'm happy with my launch XSX, however, won't mind that 25th anniversary controller to join my 20th anniverary controller! don't need it but sure do want it

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
