Currently building my own Windows-first, fully native version of Postman based on .http files

Non-negotiables: no accounts (except windows), fast, beautiful

Version 1 is out in Microsoft Store: https://t.co/a2kpas1ZtS

[Pavel Osadchuk @xakpc]

The app itself is distributed through the Microsoft Store:

Payments, updates, and everything else are handled there

Publishing a Store app is always a painful experience, but at least this time it was approved in a day

@flaviocopes AI outside of coding (with coding) could do very impressive time-saving things

@moriko38 archery is great

[Pavel Osadchuk @xakpc]

there are some claims that winrar makes 20M/year

[Pavel Osadchuk @xakpc]

@RoaringHammy I have an emergency fund for 3 months in liquid cash and if i move to a cheaper country I could stretch it to 6.

Pretty safe I think, but finding a new (remote) job would be a challenge honestly 😕

@unixterminal I really want this inside @FrameworkPuter

Microsoft just unveiled its second RTX Spark-powered Surface PC, and this one is a new form factor for the brand! The company is making a Surface mini PC, but it's aimed solely at developers.

The Surface RTX Spark Dev Box features 128GB unified memory, 1 petaflop of AI compute, and is designed to run on-device AI models all day. This isn't the first Windows dev kit by Microsoft, but it is the first to be branded a "Surface PC."

Like with all RTX Spark devices right now, no word on pricing or availability outside "later this year," but don't expect it to be cheap. https://t.co/geprxgoVLc

Microsoft has announced a new experimental version of Windows Terminal, called "Intelligent Terminal."

What makes it intelligent?

Do you really have to ask?

Using Microsoft Execution Containers (https://t.co/2growXMNL3), you can run OpenClaw natively on Windows, and the sandbox prevented deletion of all files on the Desktop. Running OpenClaw more safely in an enterprise is "pretty dope". :) https://t.co/wW2Y3dUm9r

[Craig Loewen @craigaloewen]

WSL now has built in Linux container support with both a CLI and an API, announced today and coming soon by the end of the month!

You can read more about it here (While our official docs are building :) )

So much good stuff at Microsoft BUILD.

I’m too lazy to list it all, but with the new ARM devices packed with NPUs and all these updates,

I hope the era of the Windows developer desktop is upon us

[Pavel Osadchuk @xakpc]

@ThePrimeagen Maybe you could try coding on Windows for a change?

My monthly expenses living in Romania:

- Rent: $0
- Electricity: ~$200
- Internet/mobile: ~$30-$35
- Groceries: ~$600
- Car lease: $700 (need to get rid of it asap)
- Loans: ~$550-$700
- Software/subscriptions: ~$390
- Food delivery/restaurants: ~$250

Average total is $2800.

And a big chunk of the remaining money are eaten by Romanian taxes (annoying) and house building.

People really have no idea what Windows widgets are

They expect something to be shown when they install the widget, basically a registrar for it into the widget library

I probably need some kind of onboarding

[Pavel Osadchuk @xakpc]

Oh, look what I predicted half a year ago when I was exploring ONNX models on Windows

[Pavel Osadchuk @xakpc]

@CasJam I think there will be more local-first models and local-first usage with more NPUs,

though this might be limited or completely destroyed by RAM prices
