I found this classic novel

GitHub - mdgrs-mei/AvaloniaUIShell: Cross-platform Desktop GUI framework for PowerShell powered by Avalonia UI. Cross-platform Desktop GUI framework for PowerShell powered by Avalonia UI. - mdgrs-mei/AvaloniaUIShell

Published a new module called AvaloniaUIShell, (the world's first?) cross-platform desktop GUI framework for PowerShell.

github.com/mdgrs-mei/Av...

It's using the same mechanism as WinUIShell and takes care of all threading and non-blocking UI operations.

Ahhhhhh… gotcha.

Terminal is a MSIX app too I think. You can start it with Start > Run > wt.exe
And add command line parameters.

Could a similar solution be made here?

The Windows App for Windows now supports connecting to Windows PCs directly 👇

$RegPath = "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsApp\Flights"
New-Item -Path $RegPath -Force -EA SilentlyContinue
New-ItemProperty -Path $RegPath -Name "PeerToPeerConnectionsEnabled" -Value 1 -Force

Scammers (or worse) are already exploiting this technique. Spreading misinformation is so much easier with “AI Overview” and it’s already being abused:

And so, I call on the wisdom of BlueSky for advice on whether hearing aids really help for total hearing loss in one ear, and if so what brands or settings or hearing specialists I should investigate.

I'm in Vancouver, BC, FWIW. Thoughts? Experiences?

I’d be curious about the DAC’s at FS.com
Do they just sell a generic cable and flash some vendor identity to it, or is it actually from the vendor you chose?

I have no answer here except for AI to be scrapped from web link search results as it appears they can be so easily manipulated. These companies should be held responsible for adding legitimacy to this crap.

I have no solution here. The organization of these types of news articles across so many discrete sites feels like a this is a highly coordinated effort. And then the effort to put them on sites like Facebook? Tactical.

This crap further divides us as a society by being a topic seniors feel slighted by (especially to “find out” in this manner. I suspect many are like my dad where they get upset about it and they feel targeted because of their age.

This crap seems to get cycled around these crap sites with the content barely changed, but the dates are updated for “next month” or “on the 15th”.

I started searching for this news to see if any legit org has mentioned this. To my surprise… the answer is no. But it’s on so many fake news sites guess that “AI” is now parroting this crap — and since google makes this shit prominent it “adds” legitimacy.

So I’ve encountered a situation that enrages me a fair bit. My dad gets his news from Facebook and will send me his “rage” news articles… things that make him upset. He just saw this one on Facebook (WARNING: THIS IS FAKE)

Oilers had Stolarz and decided it didn’t work. That may have been 7 (8?) years ago but they don’t tend to review past decisions.

This is a pretty wild find. Thanks for documenting everything

Slower Memory Zeroing Through Parallelism While investigating some performance mysteries in Chrome I discovered that Microsoft had parallelized how they zero memory, and in some cases this was making it a lot slower. This slowdown may be m…

Years ago I complained about Windows creating 39+ page-zeroing pages on 96-core machines, which made memory zeroing much slower. The vast majority of the CPU time was consumed by fighting over a lock.

Here are my thoughts on AI from #msignite 2026:

Agents, agents, agents. While I personally doubt most organizations are using a lot of AI agents *today*, I wouldn't be surprised if we're just a year early on that front. I personally haven't used agents much yet, there's so much on the to-do list

I Spent a THOUSAND Dollars on HDMI Cables.. for Science YouTube video by Linus Tech Tips

I used to be a “digital signal is all 1’s and 0’s” and believed that a cable is a cable is a cable. Then I saw this video and, even though “digital” is 1’s and 0’s”, the electrical signal is still analog and can be manipulated.

Here's a typical use case for me using -Outvariable in an interactive PowerShell command line where I'm searching for a file so I want visual output as it searches but I also want the results in a variable so I can access more properties later if I need them without searching again
