Follow up on Arctis Nova Pro Omni issue

A couple weeks ago I posted https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/s/BWjuCjPzES

Turns out it's a real issue with the GameHub memory, but it happens *only* when no headset is connected. Basically, the internal memory has a 10 seconds delay.

Apart from that, I have nothing but positive comments on the Omni headset. Looks good, super comfortable, amazing mic. Plus the wireless connection doesn't drop even when I'm three brick walls away from the GameHub (perfect for useless work meetings).

I don't use GG for advanced configurations, so can't really comment on that.

Auto-approve a subset of git commands

Is there a way to auto-approve certain git commands? I'd like to approve commits explicitly, for example, but stuff like diffs should be auto-approved.

Have you tried the Kotlin compiler Native Image build?

The GraalVM Native Image build of the Kotlin compiler is available since 2.4.20-RC (see news). Has anyone tried it yet?

Also posting this for awareness, since I haven't read about it in many places outside of Slack.

Looking for a local-first runtime-agnostic DB solution (similar to RxDB)

Hey folks. For the last couple of days I've been investigating how to approach storing in-memory and persistent data in my VS Code extension, which is deployed both on desktop and browser. The built-in state management (i.e., global/workspace Memento) is too limited, so I'm looking at solutions such as sql.js, or RxDB.

RxDB seemed like the perfect project, but the Node.js FS and IndexedDB persistences are paywalled.

sql.js is basically a wrapper over a JS-compatible SQLite artifact, so it can run SQL queries which is pretty nice, but there is no schema or type-safety built-in.

Do you have any suggestion to offer or experience with sql.js and/or RxDB?

Copilot Has Been Top Contributor To VS Code In Past Year

In the past year, Copilot has become the top contributor in the VS Code repo, showing how far VS Code has been ensloppified. Even worse, bugs continue to pile on top without many fixes. And VS Code is only Microslop's best product, and even it is so messed up. This just goes to show how bad Microslop has become. Poor shame, VS Code could've been way better.

Agosto - il mese fantasma

Stavo riflettendo su come anche per il settore IT Agosto sia un mese particolare, almeno in Italia. Ogni anno 3/4 del personale va in ferie e si è costretti a rimandare una buona parte dei task a Settembre (soprattutto quelli che richiedono un minimo di collaborazione). L'unica soluzione sembra quella di prendere ferie in Agosto. Insomma, un circolo vizioso.

Mi viene in mente un video in cui Marchionne parla esattamente di questo problema, e credo avesse parzialmente ragione.

Arctis Nova Pro Omni base station does not persist Settings

I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong myself, but what I've done is:

  1. Attach the base station to the PC
  2. Go to System Settings > Display > (change any setting)
  3. Go back to the main screen
  4. Disconnect the USB from the PC
  5. Connect the USB again, and the previously set setting is back to the previous value

This happens 99% of the times. The 1% actually persists the value for some reason. Anyone else is experiencing the same issue?

Workaround: enter and exit Settings one more time. Edit: doesn't work reliably.

Edit 2: even the volume itself is lost from time to time.

Slow reformat on 2026.2.x

Before I spend time creating a reproducer and opening an issue I'd like to be sure others are seeing the same problem, or a similar one at least.

In 2026.2.x, in a Nx Angular monorepo, invoking the Reformat action (CTRL+ALT+L on Windows) for a decently big component takes more than 4-5 seconds to complete. It seems related to Optimize imports, as invoking Prettier through the Reformat with Prettier action doesn't exhibit the same problem.

2026.1.4 works as expected.

r/europe perma-banning for Chat Control posts

Today, two reposts of the geoblocked anti-Chat Control podcast have been removed by r/europe moderators in the span of a couple hours with ludicrous motivations.

Users who post them are also permanently banned from the subreddit for "misinformation".

We need people to be aware that r/europe is no more a place where EU news can be shared as moderators will act in bad faith, without giving proper explanations for their decisions.

Note: got permission to share that screenshot.

Youtube blocked anti- Chat Control podcast episode in the EU

About a year ago, the Finnish podcast “Uusi Puheenaihe” posted an interview with Peter Sund, leader of the Finnish Information Security Cluster (FISC). The title of the video was ”EU and CSAM: Big Brother is watching” and since it was strongly anti-chat control, it picked up a lot of traction again this week. Yesterday it was blocked in almost the entire EU.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGaQCcwnwb0

You can try opening the video and it won’t load if you’re in the EU. With a VPN connected through the US or anywhere else it plays again.

You can also verify the blocking on Invidious.

https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=dGaQCcwnwb0

Blacklisted regions as listed by invidious: AT, BE, BG, CY, CZ, DE, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GR, HR, HU, IE, IT, LT, LU, LV, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SE, SI, SK. All 27 member states of EU.

Is NES nerfed in IntelliJ?

I've been using VS Code and IJ parallely for the last week (I'm using the nightly channel in IJ) and while Copilot has consistently improved with the latest plugin releases, NES still seem extremely inferior.

Over the same code, suggestions don't appear, appear with major lags, or with lower quality.

Is this "by design", in the sense that different models or knowledge base is used?

GPT 5.4 doesn't seem to work on Insiders

For some reason the response gets cut abruptly. The model returns "Thinking..." and then simply stops.

Is this a known issue on VS Code Insiders? How do I debug the root cause?

Optimizing how Copilot launches terminal tasks in VS Code

On Windows, it looks like Copilot uses PowerShell and the integrated terminal interchangeably. Well, to be honest I've noticed it tends to prefer opening the integrated terminal instead of running PS directly in the chat session in newest releases.

What's the best way to instruct it to always run PowerShell commands in the chat session itself? If there is any that doesn't involve adding yet another point to the copilot-instructions file as it's already too big.

Max line length for Next Edit Suggestions

Next Edit Suggestions in VS Code are great, probably one of the better implementations around.

However, what bothers me is ghost suggestions do not take into account a max line length, so the workflow is always accepting + manually wrapping if required. This is valid especially for comments.

It would be nice to be able to configure a max line length. Or, is there a way to do so already?

Personal reflection on weekly releases

As you may know at this point, VS Code releases have shifted from monthly (+ recoveries) to weekly (+ hotfixes) starting from March.

I'm still skeptical about whether that's a good change, but most posts I see tend to revolve around "hey now it's all AI slop". So I had a quick look at milestones, both monthly ones and weekly ones.

On average we have the following number of closed issues/PRs:

  • monthly: 1500 (including all month-specific recovery releases)
  • weekly: 500 (there has been a limited number of hotfix releases since April, some only related to LLM availability)

I've also peaked at some of those PRs, and as far as I could see they are still pretty small/focuses and accompanied by test cases most of the times.

In the end it seems it did not change as much as I thought it would. We get changes sooner, albeit with an higher chance of bugs slipping through since people might say "let's fix this next week". Although, people were probably saying "let's fix this in next recovery" anyways in the past.

Strange behavior after long disconnection

I had a pretty long session with GPT 5.4. Left VS Code open overnight with no connectivity. Reconnected this morning and prompted on the same open session.

The model began doing all kind of actions like opening the GitHub PR tool window, opening a PR view, scanning the entire codebase, applying code to unrelated files or at incorrect location.

Well, wasted a bunch of credits.

Restarted the laptop and it was all good again. Anyone has experienced something similar?
