Not if you're building tools and want to test them on CPU, GPU, and NPU

Framework desktop with AMD Max+ 385 has an NPU!

I'd build my own or do a Framework Desktop. If it needs to be portable I'd hold off for a Snapdragon X2 device, there are several good looking ones coming out soon

While Microsoft is focusing on quality and craft of Windows, maybe they can finally add country flag emojis.
Every other platform, major and minor has country flags except Windows!

Also different Capture Modes from the Fullscreen Grab similar to the Snipping Tool.

The next feature is a new language option 'Direct Text' which uses UI Automation to get the text directly from the window element!

You can see in this demo that even though the text of the file name is clipped, it is still available to access!

Other than being noisy it requires extra command approval for some commands like git commands because combining cd and a git command into one is dangerous

Does anyone else experience Claude Code on Windows putting "cd <the directory it is already in>" before every command? Does it not know the directory it is in? Why is it doing this? Even with a memory it does it.

Nailed it

But crisis is a great way to consolidate power. If things were stable then they might have to listen, and ya know... govern. 😱

I've been cooking up some awesome features in Text Grab! I'm excited to push out a beta release!

🔔New app Alert! Trowser No one asked for it, and now it's here! You can now pin a website in a small pane to your Windows System Tray! Why would you want to do this?? Well, many times I will pick up my phone for a quick scroll while I wait for a long running task to fail. So why not embed that experience in the system tray.
