Day 2, Morning

NEWS BULLETIN:

It is with deep regret that the Neowin Times must announce the untimely murder of local townsperson Quick Shot. His body was found by the doctor in the middle of Front Street in the early hours of this morning.

Initial reports claim there was no struggle and Quick Shot appears to simply have been 'in the way' and unlucky to have ended up the victim of this tragic hit-and-run incident.

The sheriff has spoken to locals who claim that they saw the Mafia's orange wagon cruising down the street late last night. "It was almost certainly the Mafia", the sheriff said.

The doctor tried to resuscitate him, but unfortunately it was too late and Quick Shot was pronounced dead at the scene. The doctor claims he died instantly.

May Quick Shot rest in peace and continue to live on forever in our archives.

I can neither confirm nor deny my involvement in the Neowin Mafia, nor can I respond to any questions about my where abouts at 4:00 AM Monday Morning due to legal advisement of my team of lawyers.

Now if you'll excuse me I have a meeting to attend at a little italian restraunt down the street.

Will ALL players (yes that includes Mafia members) PM me their vote as to who they will be voting to be eliminated off as a Mafia suspect.

It is in everybody's best interests to discuss their votes here, as well as recent events and suspicions, or else the Mafia may be able win over the votes and murder yet another player tonight.

About the day/night cycles, will everybody be able to play their parts around the following times:

thank god im like 5 hours behind so i will be awake and alive during most of this

As for Quick Shot:

I seen him early before and he was acting a bit tipsy. I told him to let off the booze and that he should head home. He told me that he was not drunk and wants to visit his friend. After that, i seen him running down the middle of the street. A speedy car was unable to avoid Quick Shot. I seen the impact on the corner of my eye, from what i seen it was a hard impact and he was killed on impact

Edited by Shof

i was visiting new your city at the time and looking out my hotel room window, saw shof on the streetcorner watching the terrible 'accidnt' that befell quick shot. i also saw someone else come out from a dark alley and walk to the body of quickshot and shoot him seven or eight times in the head at close range. then they dropped a rose onto the body and walked away. it was not a pleasant scene :blink:

^How could you? How do you sleep at night? :cry:

How will you feel when you have kittys walking around our mafia mansion with gps devices set up by other mafia gangs? What will do you, let the kittys live and allow the other mafia gangs find out where we are or just kill them and disable the gps device?

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
