I am genuinely SUPER EXCITED to announce that support for C# file-based apps (aka FBAs, new in #dotnet 10) is now enabled in the C#/C# Dev Kit extensions for @vscode.dev *by default*! We're going to continue refining & improving this experience over the coming months so update today!

I'm curious, all of our @aspiredotdev users, is an #aspirePlayground something that you might use? I've been prototyping a bit, thinking about:

⬇️ Import existing AppHost/Docker compose file
⬆️ Export an AppHost.cs/SVG from the visual editor

What do you think? 🤓

Well crap. Turns out, MiniITX motherboards only have a single EPS connector for CPU power, which is actually limiting when running top-end consumer CPUs (9950X, etc.). Couldn't understand why my Cinebench scores were so low.

Time to sell some cases & motherboards & re-spec these builds 😔

I tried to sync stats from my $200 walking pad into Apple Health and ended up with a full GPT + Aspire app with LLM-based image analysis instead.

Unhinged and over-engineered. I love it.

It's Patch Tuesday and ASP.NET Core has a doozy, with a CVSS score of 9.9, our highest ever. Let's examine why.

The bug enables http request smuggling, which on its own for ASP.NET Core would be nowhere near that high, but that's not how we rate things...
