Just started messing with WP8.1 on my Lumia 625

 

Must get a phone with a higher res screen :cry:

 

Edit: changed start screen background to match the lock screen, looks much better.

 

Something needs to be done about those skype and onenote icons though :/

 

I use Hot Tiles! to make them transparent  ;) .

My ATIV S running WP8.1 GDR1, living in the UK and finally being able to use Cortana is awesome.

I went back to Windows Phone for a time. It's way better than when I last left it at Windows Phone 7.8.

 

I got the Lumia 1520 (Hulk Green) and I love it. A bit too big, but with my eyes starting to age, the bigger screen helps. One of the things that bothered me about this upgrade experience is that, like, I understand that a lot of people don't want a Windows Phone, so that's why the stores don't carry any, well the 1520 that I know of, in stock (even though it's featured on a large display near the front door). But if you do want a Windows Phone, they asked if you've even had one, and if you say no, they try to sell you on something else. If you go through with the deal, it's "Oh, we don't have it in stock. We'll mail it to you!"

 

But I want it nowwwww.

Design wise, I'm really not happy with Windows Phones new folders.

While they add much needed functionality, they make the start screen much more cluttered.

If we could designate one icon, or the live tile from one app, to be the main/only thing shown for each folder, it could be a lot cleaner, and less resource intensive.

I don't even want to post a screenshot, it's a ####### mess :/

    • 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.
