Why is snow on the news every where, it's pathetic, it's just snow! Sure lots of places have it bad but comon it's plastered all over the news here like something major happend :| On another note can't wait til it gets heavier so I don't have to go anywhere.

Slow news day; this is the worst it's hit the UK in 18 years and we aren't prepared for it. Plus the added affect of "snow days" from work being declared has on the economy is negative (a load of stocks where sold this morning due to worry how the snow will affect the prices).

Considering the size of our balcony, this is the size of the snowman we just made. We have more snow left on the balcony AND its now starting to snow REAL strong again (SW London)... No work again tomorrow hopefully :D:

This we made last night, with the little snow we had:

I just read this on the Washington Post:

Heavy Snow Brings London to a Stop

I wish you people the best of luck and safety...I know its a miserable situation.

Miserable? Its ****ing GREAT mate! With all the news we hear all the time about the econimy etc, this diverts our attention and in a lot of cases, gives us a free day (maybe 2) off work!

Was only a light sprinkling here through the morning but it's really starting to come down this afternoon/evening.. hope it's appalling tomorrow so I don't have to go into work. They already sent everyone home early from work today.. so if it's the same tomorrow morning, surely we won't have to go in!

lol

only in the UK

the rest of europe can easily deal with this kinda snow, but the UK for some reason cant!

for example! if more than 2" of snow is expected, the salt pouring trucks come out late at night, and in the morning a quick sweep is done of major roads.....

ah well, then again i cant remember the last time is snowed in the UK :s

if more than 2" of snow is expected, the salt pouring trucks come out late at night, and in the morning a quick sweep is done of major roads.....

Whats wrong with that? Nothing is more hardcore than braving 2" of snow without any gritting or plowing eh. The roads around my way were like glass when I woke up this morning. Cars wheels spinning but going nowhere. If anything there wasn't enough done. After all, didn't we know about this snow at the start of LAST week?

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
