bugs:

- contact list is screwed up

- i get an error that there's an illegal character in my log file when i close a chat window

what annoys me:

- nudges

- emoticons in my contact list

- not possible to remove tabs

- display pic in the "toast"

- msn search under the contact list

Contact list is screwed up? Can you elaborate on that?

I also got the error when closing conversation windows. I just turned off logging.

Nudges apparently are supposed to jump to on top of other windows when receiving? I haven't experienced that.

The crying emoticon doesn't appear in the list. There is two disappointed emoticons.

What annoys ME? The fact that you have to look at your contact's card to see their email address.

Apparently m3ss.b3 found a fix for the tabs... and the options menu looks like crap. A VERY sad attempt at copying Yahoo Messenger.

What can they do to go over the top? Grouping status' (which I have asked Patchou do to for a very long time), and incorporating a radio station into Messenger like LanchCast.

If you want to remove your tabs from MSN Messenger 7 Beta:

# Hit start -> run -> regedit

# Look for the section HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ MSNMessenger \ PerPassportSettings

# Open all the sections consisting out of a number combination.

# Select the DWORD DisableTabs (if not present, create it)

# Change its value to 1

# Repeat this step at all number combinations

# Close and restart MSN Messenger

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
