Me: Is the IronRDP ActiveX now at 100% feature parity with the original RDP ActiveX for RDP filesystem redirection? GitHub Copilot: No, not literal 100% parity, because I made it *safer* with additional security hardening

Using the GitHub Copilot app chat to investigate Windows crash dumps without a git repository, collaborating with a child session that works on a WinDBG-based Rust tool I'm developing at the same time to help investigate those dumps 👇
What are your impressions of Qwen3.8-max so far? It seems very capable, and can work long hours for sure. It's been working non-stop since this morning and hasn't lost focus on the task
Confession: I have never made a custom agent. I did author a lot of agent skills, but I'm not even sure how to really leverage custom agents, as opposed to a generic agent in which I prompt a few words to trigger the activation of a reusable agent skill: docs.github.com/en/copilot/c...

💸 15K this month in GitHub Copilot AI credits 💸 I've done an incredible amount of work, the GitHub Copilot app is the key to unlocking a LOT of parallel work: eliminating tech debt, doing large migrations, developing new libraries, reviewing code, finding bugs, you name it!
🖥️ Good old mstsc.exe GUI on the surface 🦀 Rust IronRDP ActiveX under the hood 👻 mstscax.dll nowhere to be seen 🪝 MsRdpEx doing the API hooking
What are some of the best local MCP servers worth installing and configuring?
What are your impressions with Kimi K3? So far it feels like a very capable model that is slow and steady, but always progressing towards the goal. It works very well alongside GLM 5.2
Marc-André Moreau@awakecoding.com · 6d agoImpressions after 48 hours: I've used a lot of Kimi K3, reached the weekly limit which I reset with one of two available resets in the max plan. I've got one agent running continuously on a hard problem with it. I'm at $158 of the monthly $537 already, but it feels good
Did you know you can checkout a PR branch in a worktree directly from GitHub Copilot app, just by clicking "create from..." and either selecting the PR from the list, or pasting the PR URL? This is super useful to review a ton of PRs from external contributors 👇
This is your reminder to start a new AI session and ask it to do the craziest thing you've always dreamed of. Even if it fails to achieve the desired outcome, you will learn new things about the feasibility of the project and can try again later with a new approach
Marc-André Moreau@awakecoding.com · 3w agoYou! Yes, you! 🫵 Dare ask GitHub Copilot to eliminate that dependency you wished you could get rid of for years, but never got it do it because it would be way too much work, and extremely risky. Believe in yourself, you'll thank me later

I found exactly what I was looking for: an LLMGateway DevPass MAX subscription that gives me 3X the amount of tokens for what I would normally pay with regular API pricing. There's a weekly limit for premium models, but that's the only limitation! devpass.llmgateway.io
DevPass by LLM Gateway - All-Access Dev Plans for AI Coding
One subscription, every coding model. Fixed-price dev plans for Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and any OpenAI-compatible tool.

Marc-André Moreau@awakecoding.com · last wk.What are good AI subscriptions that are compatible with the GitHub Copilot app with BYOK or OpenCode? I'm looking for a fixed price plan that is throttled, instead of API-based pricing. It's fine if it only includes open models, and it can cost a few hundred per month
I'm working on a special PowerShell SDK that is fully NativeAOT-compatible, and still works in-process like the original one. Let's just say I had to really steer GitHub Copilot in the right direction so it wouldn't cheat with out-of-process shortcuts 👇

Devolutions UniGetUI is back on the Microsoft Store, after it was briefly unlisted earlier today. Thanks @denelon.bsky.social for the quick resolution! 👇
Marc-André Moreau@awakecoding.com · 2w agoUniGetUI was unlisted from the Microsoft Store because it "promotes acquiring software outside of the store", when in fact it mostly puts a user interface on top of WinGet. I need a contact at Microsoft who can escalate this to get UniGetUI re-listed in the Microsoft Store 🛟🙏

I have reached the point where my list of sessions in the GitHub Copilot app no longer fits all at once in my screen. 🛟 Send help - "spawn new session" is the absolute superpower 💪 It's been raining pull requests all week 👇
Using the GitHub Copilot app with multiple GitHub accounts is still terrible. Yes, I did switch the account for the turso project and then created a new session, naively believing it wouldn't get confused this time, and that I wouldn't have to tell it use the gh cli manually
The wait is over, and I am officially renewed as a Microsoft MVP in the PowerShell and Windows categories! #MVPBuzz 🏆 I enjoyed my first year as an MVP, and I look forward to the next! 🚀

If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and somehow makes keyboard input lag while CPU usage looks perfectly fine… Maybe the duck is a keyboard hook. 🦆⌨️
Kimi K2.7 code in the GitHub Copilot app keeps stopping after it's done thinking, making it hard to use reliably. Sometimes it understands and does the work, but way too often, it just thinks and then stops without doing the actual thing. Am I the only one?
