Dynamic/adaptive cruise control is a really nice safety feature which I use whenever I can. I guess the 'autopilot' capabilities is just another form of that, but I'd still be hesitant to be hands off and read a book.

"Switch to Chrome, a smarter browser Google recommends using Chrome. Try it?" Every. Single. Time I open Google using Edge. And Chrome is just as annoying wanting to be the default browser. How is this different to a prompt when I

I always have Chrome open, but Edge is still set as my default browser to open links from applications. It opens quickly and it works perfectly fine. Have never had issues with Edge. If I could use some of the same Chrome extensions on Edge

Battery life was a little bit worse (not much) on my 5X with the preview releases of Oreo. 5X died from bootloop before I could upgrade to the final release.

Random thought from someone with little theoretical experience with TLS. What would be offloaded to hardware? And would that not create a possible security/backdoor issue if there's no access to see how this is implemented by the

I was intrigued by this article. So I tested it myself using VSCode 1.15.1 (x64), and a 6.16 MB (6 462 222 bytes) XML file. File opened in < 4 seconds. Uses about 180MB of memory. All 16013 lines show. Scrolling isn't an issue. Code

Also the feedback from the Microsoft team (they genuinely seem to put effort into VSCode), the frequent updates and new features. I love(d) ST and it was always one of the first tools I installed after a fresh OS install. My latest instal
