At least those morons finally shut up about this being posted earlier. :angry: Who gives a **it! If you feel like replying on the topic then answer. If you just want to bitch at people then walk down the street and do it but don't come on here and start whining and try to hijack someone else's posting just because you may have seen the same info elsewhere it's rude and just plain stupid because:

1.) Other people are replying to this posting that may have not came across the other postings yet.

2.) You get to hear different viewpoints from different people.

3.) Just because you may have been on this board longer in no way makes you "God"

4.) If you don't have anything good to say then keep your holes shut

That being said... I am voting for Firefox (Gecko engine) because Micro"Soft" blows donkey A**. :rofl:

I've been using a combination of opera + ie for a couple of years now.

It's getting annoying that opera doesn't render properly some sites. I did try firefox as beta 0.9 something. The only thing I love about opera is mouse gestures. Very fast. It may sound stupid, but I'm reverting back to ie. Getting bored of sites that don't load properly. I will still keep opera. But for specific tasks. :blink:

wait... we are talking about rendering engines aren't we? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think rendering engines have anything to do with a browser's features, or for that matter, the UI, or active X.

Read more about common rendering engines here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines

lol...it's like saying "Which religion is better" :pinch:

It's a matter of preference in the real world, yes I know and love gecko because of it's quality standards support, but it's really not that big of a deal when IE has 90% of the market. :whistle:

Opera and Internet Explorer arent browser engines either :whistle:

Opera is the only browser to use it's engine, so it's fair to simply say Opera. As far as IE, you're right. I'm assuming the person simply didn't know the code-name for the IE engine though.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.

      Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
