In-game dash is (Y)

The avatars are what the Wii's Mii's wanted to be. Makes MS look very kiddy for better or worse though, however you view them. I quite like them but.

I have to give a thumbs up for the ingame dash as well. I think a lot of people are overlooking it actually. It has a lot of options and I enjoy how quick I can look at my achievements from the games blade. Another notable would be the quick launch area.

That reminds me, did they ever implement multiple sign ins?

On desktop version - yes (Windows Live Messenger 2009). Not on "Old Xbox Experience". And while I am on OXE till 19th, I can't really tell about NXE. :(

How would the sync, all conversations get moved to each open computer?

So someone could be watching your conversation remotely?

yes, it opens conversation window(s) on every computer you're signed in from.

yeah it was the free launch theme

Where do you get that?

So.... How is everyone that got in this 3rd time enjoying their NXE?

I think it's absolutely brilliant! I love everything about it, yes, even the Avatars of which I thought were too kiddy at first but their surprisingly fun. :)

I said this in the other thread but since you asked:

"Awesome update. ONLY problem, not sure if anyone else is having this... everything in the guide is very blurry. Someone look at the guide font and pictures and then go to the actual menu, select your game library and look at the difference. The main menu is SO sharp."

But that's the thing, technically you can pretty much completely avoid the NXE dashboard and just use the Guide button. Just set your settings so that you're auto-signed in, games load upon insert and games load upon boot. Then you can do whatever from the in-game guide.
you mean,kind of like you if you don't want to you can NEVER see the new dashboard ? and just use the guide ?

Well it's a bit hard to avoid the NXE completely, I also use the 360 for media streaming as well. Unfortunately because MS haven't felt nice enough to give Media Centre on the 360 DivX support (it won't even play my straight MPEG2 files either :| it's so damn picky, basically mine will only play WMV files), I gotta use the Dashboard/NXE. Which is annoying though, as I'd like to use it [Media Centre] more but held back but the lack of codec support for the 360's implementation. I know you can use those transcoder programs to get around it, but they never worked for me :/ always screw up.

Media centre support on the 360 hasn't changed, not really sure why that's an issue with the NXE?

And seriously, what's so horrible about the NXE that some people are so ****y about, they want to avoid it completely? Can you honestly say there isn't a part of the current dash you'd prefer to avoid if you could, like the ads or "inside xbox" or whatever? Seriously, people, look at it from a technical point of view - it's faster, it's more efficient and it's much, much more powerful. Be happy!

Sign up for the preview? You're in!

Instead of adding another 10,000 people to the preview program like we did last week, we've decided to do something a little different: everyone who successfully applied to the preview program (and had a valid console ID) will be getting the New Xbox Experience sometime within the next few hours. That?s right?we?re hooking everyone else up with NXE a bit early. If you signed up and are not prompted, that means you did not enter your console ID properly and you'll have to wait until Wednesday.

Don?t worry, it?s almost here.

Thanks again for your overwhelming interest in the program.

some good news for the rest of you.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.

      Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.

      You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.

      I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
