Обзор ChatMCP: командный центр для управления AI-моделями в BotHub

ChatMPC — лёгкая программа для доступа к нейросетям прямо из вашей операционной системы. Он напоминает те самые вспомогательные утилиты, которые всегда лежат на рабочем столе и запускаются быстрее всех: шустрый и работает на всём, что включается. Внутри — поддержка сотен моделей, запуск артефактов HTML и SVG, управление параметрами и быстрый отклик даже на бюджетном железе. В этом обзоре: • Простая инструкция, как запускать 300+ моделей через одну API‑точку; • Системный промпт для генерации Mermaid‑диаграмм через любую нейросеть; • Список 16 самых крутых ИИ‑моделей прямо сейчас; • Промпт, который превращает окно ChatMCP в настоящую «Матрицу» и «зелёный дождь» ; • 6 плюсов и 7 минусов ChatMCP; • И самый странный способ прикрепления файлов , который вы видели...

Anyone here with #WinRT knowledge?
If I have e.g. com:ComInterface and com4:ComInterface registered, does com4 on supported systems override the com declaration?

Автоматизация подписи кода в современных условиях

Подпись кода — это процесс проставления цифровой подписи на программном обеспечении. Цифровая подпись гарантирует пользователю, что программа является неподдельной и что её код не подвергся никаким изменениям в промежутке между созданием программы и выпуском. В старые времена для подписи билдов использовалась подписи GPG , а секретные ключи хранились где-нибудь на флэшке. Потом для приложений Windows появились система Authenticode . Сейчас для опенсорса и проприетарных ОС постепенно внедряются новые методы автоматизации подписи кода.

10 reasons why application packaging isn't going anywhere.

This is just ridiculous - if sysprep can fail validation because of those #MSIX packages, then Microsoft should just add a sysprep option to nuke all of them on sight. They break sysprep, and we need to remove them anyway to get a clean Windows image

Is there a #PowerShell one-liner that will nuke all the #MSIX per-user installations present in Windows 24H2 by default and that break sysprep? I just want to generalize my image and reset it back to OOBE

Can someone explain, why "Optional=true" should fail, and "Optional=false" not?

MSIX, a Windows app package format, is a tool that developers can use to bundle, distribute, and install their applications for Windows users.

Made some nice progress during the holiday break working on some #AppVolumes and #MSIX automation. Very rough POC quality script at this point, lots more to do, but excited to have something working.

For the record and in an attempt to contribute to the world's knowledge of holes in Microsoft documentation:

At least the way I did it, for in-process plugins, you need to create the MSIX packages using makeappx and manifests written/edited from a template by you, not generated by Visual Studio or something (copy your AppxManifest.xml file into the directory with your payload files (which has to include all the stuff your application needs to run and any bits like images referenced in the manifest) and run makeappx pack /d InputDirectory /p OutputPackageFile.msix, then use signtool sign to add a signature). The plugins need a <MainPackageDependency> pointing to the main app, and the main app needs to use Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.Dependencies to get the plugin packages and Package.InstalledLocation to find their base directories so you can actually load from them.

It might totally be possible to use Visual Studio's MSIX generation or some third-party thing but I gave up on it after fighting it for a while.

For a .NET non-UWP application like mine, you need to use one of the Windows build-number-specific Target Framework Monikers for .NET 5+, e.g. net5.0-windows10.0.19041.0 (for earlier .NET or C++ or whatever you're sort of on your own since I didn't have to do that, but that page might say and if not look for something about Universal Windows contracts) to get access to Windows.ApplicationModel.

It's not really absurdly complicated but the documentation is not good.
