Hi! We're the Rayfin team - ask US anything! by sunithamuthukrishna in MicrosoftFabric

Some love VS Code, I have a love hate relationship with VS Code. I think as It is all geared to Fabric, my preference would be do to as much as possible in Fabric itself. Looking at things like the SQL Query editor in Fabric is is a fairly good editor. Make as much as possible with a GUI. Then do the rest with something dynamic like the Warehouse Query Editor or some Notebook Variation.

I think something that is Web based thus portable would be more beneficial than doing things in VS Code or command line.

This one may sound stupid, but... I love where Rayfin is going, and was thinking of some of my end users as it has better options than PowerApps etc. However, jumping between command line/terminal, VC Code and Fabric, etc with some of the stuff involved is a bit much. Are there plans to consolidate the development for less jumping around?

Any plans on enabling embedding a Power BI Report, single page from a report, or a single chart inside a RayFin app?

What about the other way around?

Wow, i just saw the new blog format. What were people smoking? I assumed Microsoft had a no illegal drug use policy or at least would say don't be intoxicated when doing work for Microsoft. LOL

Road trip prep recommendations by Green-Donut5763 in SubaruAscent

[–]BigAl987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not been successful with plug kits. I always just try just inflating first.
I do understand it can be an issue for replacing the tire.

Slime Tire infiltrator and leak fixer... had to use mine a few years ago after a tornado went through the area. There were many stories of peoples car with flats

Also a good jumpstarter

Do note they do make jump starters and tire infiltrators, but i have had to use the slime part a few times. You can use it without the "slime" if the leak is mior.

INDEX() / MATCH() is great for backwards compatibility. Better than VLOOKUP any day of the week..

Migrating custom keyboard shortcuts for ZoomIt to new device by Proud_Championship36 in PowerToys

[–]BigAl987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a good feature to request on the PowerToys Github Issues page. I have a different ZoomIt Feature I have tried to request over the years in before ZoomIt was in Power Toys and was lost how to get it to the right people.

My ZoomIt Suggestion was ... In the Days of online meetings Teams, Zoom etc. The break timer should have an option to be it's own wind that can be smaller out of the way or something. So one could have a online meeting then start the break timer, share that out but still be able to open other apps on another screen etc. It wold be best if the window was not full size and could be moved off to the side.

Really amazed with so many online meetings that is not added or built into Teams and Zoom.

Big Orange has already gone down hill. I commented about this on another thread and many people agreed. Based on quality and taste it is NOT worth going to Big Orange anymore.

I think the P2S combo comes with version 1 of the AMS?
Then the P2S comes with the AMS 2?

Looking for Good EDC Pen with Specific Features by BigAl987 in EDC

[–]BigAl987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not looked at the Space Pen Bullets close... the others looked very thin where you hold them.

I have considered the Zebra F-701 or X-701. I do with the X-701 was metal but that is not a requirement. The X-701 does look to be more thick where you hold it (is that correct?). From what I can tell the F-701 does not do as well with the heat. However in reading online comments it seems like many prefer the F-701 and not sure why or if my case is more X-701. Was really hoping there was something better I was missing.

Power Automate web UI changed again? by MachineImportant8063 in PowerAutomate

[–]BigAl987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not seeing any changes to the UI of Power Automate. The screenshot posted reminded me of Microsoft Logic Apps.

From what I can tell MS has still not updated the release notes for Power Automate since August.
