So Github Copilot seems to be the real deal and in high demand. [Microsoft's GitHub Copilot Surpasses 1.3 Million Users to Lead AI Coding Industry](https://winbuzzer.com/2024/04/18/github-copilot-microsofts-ai-innovation-transforms-software-development-xcxwbn/) I have wanted to try it for my WordPress plugin which I coded just with Gpt4 but noticed it wasn't able to create similar complete code that I could just save as php and css files. Or did I miss sth? When trying to add more features using multiple files I ran into issues. What alternative would be more suitable for this task? I need a solution that can understand the context and dependencies of about 5 different files with a large enough context window.

With ForceBindIP you can bind any Windows application to a specific interface or IP address. It´s freeware" "ForceBindIP works in two stages - the loader, ForceBindIP.exe will load the target application in a suspended state. It will then inject a DLL (BindIP.dll) which loads WS2_32.DLL into memory and intercepts the bind(), connect(), sendto(), WSAConnect() and WSASendTo() functions, redirecting them to code in the DLL which verifies which interface they will be bound to and if not the one specified, (re)binds the socket.

I can really recomment BitTorrent Sync (now called Resilio connect) which relies on 1:1/direct connections, taking away the cloud as a slowing down middleman.[Resilio^] there is no limit to the size and transfer speed depends basically on the connections of the clients - also group sharing is possible.

Since Windows RT Microsoft has made substantial progress with the UWP platform, developer tools and also improving the app offering on the windows store. But most of the interesting apps are still coming from the Win32 sphere and even some of the more popular UWP apps (TuneIn Radio etc.) perform poorly. App reactivity/performance is a major issue. I guess that Windows 10 Cloud will be a disappointment such it was RT and hurt Microsoft´s brand image once more. They should focus more on premium/performance solutions... as they have shown, this can work greatly.

Well.. CollaDB came out in 06/2015, so there have been shorter projects, see WalkingCat on Twitter: "Microsoft CollabDB - Create and share lists to stay in sync with your team http://t.co/4l5FxGO5ly aka Office Lists App"[^]
