I've played with the weather script trying to get it going for 2 days now, works once when I extract all the files soon as I touch the script to add my city I get NA for everything... I know you guys posted alot of how-to's but I just can't get the thing to work for me. Am I missing something?

Just follow the instructions.

1.) Add Active script "neowin_news.vbs"

2.) Select Function "RunMeInBackground", set run every 5 min and click Test.

3.) By now it should show "Next check at..."

4.) Add another neowin active script, this time select function "ReturnHTML" and set run every 10 min and click Test.

5.) By now on the result box it should show the html code of Neowin front page. It should create "neowin_news.tmp" file

6.) Check if neowin_news.tmp existed inside your Samurize directory. If found then you're almost done

7.) Add Text file and under "Text File to Read from" locate your "neowin_news.tmp" file. Make sure don't mark "Force update every time"

8.) By now it should show latest Neowin headlines.

9.) Optional: the "ReturnHTML" should show parameters "sURL: https://www.neowin.net". For me it should be hidden somewhere so it don't show on your samurize script. Make sure you remember that the place you hide that "ReturnHTML" script.

Hope it helps you.

Hopefully someone with knowledge of the different weather scripts can verify this but I belive that judges should work because it is basically stand alone and points to individual pages hosted at http://www.weather.com/ while most of the other scripts use the weather.cache.xml and RefreshWeatherPlus.vbs. RefreshWeatherPlus updates the weather.cace.xml... only problem is that http://weather.interceptvector.com/weather...?id=QlVYWDAwMDU seems broken at the moment and is not displaying any xml outputs. I had downloaded classix10k and tried to use the samurize script from it not knowing what to expect after 2 days of screwing with paths etc.. nothing has appeared because it can not update the weather.cache.xml file. Even though it uses WeatherPlus.vbs it still needs to read from weather.cache.xml....whew!

So if any of this makes sence just let us know. Im just guessing that many people here maybe using different scripts.

Step 7 means: After the script gets a file called "neowin_news.tmp" in your samurize's folder,then u add a meter in sumurize's config called "Add Text File",in this "Text File Properties",there's an option call "Text File To Read From:",then u locate it to "neowin_news.tmp"(Actually you can open this file with notepad).that's all.

Help! Well I've really liked the configs I've seen in this thread and I've been waiting for the right weekend to make my own...

I've obviously copied some that were already made, but I've made this one to match my favorite theme: Beacon.

BUT...only one thing remains a problem: Current temperature (showing as N/A instead).

I've honestly spent most of the day on this, and I think I'm doing things right. All results in my config are correct to weather.com's website, except the current temperature (N/A).

Can anyone help me to figure this out? Could anyone try my city (Chilliwack, Canada) out in their config to see if they can get the current temperature to work? Or give me any suggestions as to what I can try...

I would appreciate any help....thanks! :D

I have judge"s weather and his calander scripts-does anyone know were I can grab his one for his system and network stats-looked over the forums and couldn"t find a link-any help would be greatly appreciated-P.S. nice work judge!!!

You can get it here. A $100.00 value for only $19.95. But wait. That's not all. For a limited time only, I'll give you not just the stats, not just what you've seen in my screen shots, but every single config, script and skin I use. So hurry, while the ZIP lasts :p (its just over 1MB).

Well. OK. You can have it for free. I'm giving them away! :cool:

    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
