I have a question about Windows Vista Beta 2: I've read a few times that WVB2 was going to be made widely avalible for the public to test, now, does that mean more people at microsoft connect will be able to test it, or will it be so like any ol joe can just be able to download it from Microsoft's site? Oh, and btw, check out the updated sig.

Could you tell me how? I want to connect.microsoft.com and registered their. Then I went to beta.microsoft and use BetaReq as guest ID. Then I filed the survey and submitted it, buts thats where I get stuck. How do I apply to test? Or am I supposed to get some kind of confirmation email?

I think that Microsoft has done a very good job of making the BETA constrained. It has not been leaked, nor anyone has the intention to.

I think that digital features will be able to make the products available to only the ones who are supposed to participate in the beta.

And for those who want to ask, no, I'm not invited into the beta.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I have not verified if any of the fixes mentioned on the below article actually work. Why Claude Code Eats All Your RAM (And How to Fix It) There are at least four separate things that can eat your RAM, and only one of them is your fault. The Four Culprits 1. Bloated Session Logs (The Silent Killer). For 2-4 and more inluding the suggested fixes, see link https://marceloretana.com/blog...aude-code-eats-all-your-ram

      One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.

      Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD.

      One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
