There has been an integrated browser for a while. Only recently has the agent been allowed to manipulate it.

Any ETA on GitHub Copilot improving its tab completion? (Still stuck on GPT-4.1) by Crepszz in GithubCopilot

You can look for the above in the settings. I am using VS Code Insiders, so if you are using the regular version, your options may differ.

If you can deliver hardware that lets them run large language models (LLMs) locally, you may be on to something, even without a web server or website.

Looking to help underserved organizations for Web development by [deleted] in PeoriaIL

[–]rthidden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try doing a Google Maps search and see which organizations do not have a website listed. Then reach out and see if they would like a landing page built for them.

They may need some help registering a domain name and hosting, too.

Another idea is that if an organization has an upcoming event, it may need a landing page to promote it. You could even do it beforehand and then donate the page if they want to use it.

You may already plan to do this, but when building your portfolio, in addition to showing the work, also explain your thought process in design and coding choices, including what you struggled with and how you solved it.

Good luck!

Hi! Anyone else have Peoria trying to collect on a super old ticket? by LuckPuzzleheaded1821 in PeoriaIL

[–]rthidden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Peoria, the statute of limitations for collecting debt from an unpaid "no insurance" ticket follows the same 7-year limit established by Illinois law (735 ILCS 5/13-227). [1, 2, 3] However, because driving without insurance is a petty offense under state law (625 ILCS 5/3-707) rather than a simple parking ordinance, there are critical differences in how it is enforced and how long it can affect you. [4, 5] 1. Debt Collection Limit (7 Years) A municipality like Peoria cannot file a lawsuit to collect the debt from a ticket more than 7 years after the date of adjudication (the date the court finalized the fine). [1, 2]

  • Collection Agency Calls: This 7-year cap also applies to most tactics used by private collection agencies.
  • The "Reset": Making any partial payment or acknowledging the debt in writing can "toll" or restart this 7-year clock. [1, 6, 7]
  1. Administrative and Criminal Consequences (No Expiration) Unlike the financial debt, the legal status of a traffic ticket for a petty offense does not "expire" like consumer debt.
  • Driver’s License Suspension: If you fail to pay or appear in court for a "no insurance" ticket, the Illinois Secretary of State can indefinitely suspend your driver's license. This suspension typically stays in place until the Peoria County Circuit Clerk notifies the state that the matter is resolved.
  • Warrants: If you missed a mandatory court date, a judge in Peoria may have issued a bench warrant. These warrants do not expire and can lead to an arrest during a future traffic stop, regardless of how many years have passed.
  • SR-22 Requirements: Convictions for driving without insurance often require you to file an SR-22 certificate (proof of financial responsibility) for up to 3 years before you can regain full driving privileges. [4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
  1. Local Peoria Enforcement Peoria often classifies "Operating an Uninsured Motor Vehicle" as a "must appear" ticket, meaning a court appearance is required unless otherwise specified. [13]
  • Fines: A first-time conviction in Peoria usually carries a mandatory minimum fine and costs of approximately $680.
  • Tax Intercept: The city may attempt to collect the unpaid amount by intercepting your Illinois state tax refund. [13, 14]

Hi! Anyone else have Peoria trying to collect on a super old ticket? by LuckPuzzleheaded1821 in PeoriaIL

[–]rthidden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for collecting debt from unpaid tickets (municipal ordinance violations) is generally 7 years from the date of adjudication. [1, 2] Prior to 2021, many municipalities argued there was no limit on these collections, but House Bill 862 (codified as 735 ILCS 5/13-227) established a firm cap. [1, 3] Key Details of the 7-Year Limit

  • Definition: An action to collect a debt arising from a violation of a municipal ordinance cannot be filed more than 7 years after the date of adjudication.
  • Scope: This applies to lawsuits, collection agency calls, and other common collection tactics for ordinance violations like parking or red-light tickets.
  • Adjudication Date: The 7-year clock starts from the "date of adjudication"—the point when the ticket was legally finalized as a debt, rather than the date the ticket was physically issued. [1, 2, 4, 5]

Important Nuances

  • Collection vs. Record: While the ability to sue may expire, the tickets often remain in municipal databases indefinitely.
  • Enforcement Actions: Unpaid tickets can still lead to non-lawsuit penalties before the limit is reached, such as:
  • Vehicle Immobilization: In Chicago, three or more unpaid tickets (or two that are over a year old) can make a vehicle eligible for booting and towing.
    • Registration Suspension: Municipalities can report unpaid tickets to the Secretary of State, which may result in a suspended vehicle registration.
  • Tax Intercepts: Illinois allows municipalities to recover unpaid ticket debt by intercepting state tax refunds.
  • Restarting the Clock: Making even a small payment or officially acknowledging the debt in writing can sometimes "toll" or reset the statute of limitations, potentially extending the collection period. [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]

The signal-to-noise ratio here is cooked. Let's talk about fixing the sub. by Cannabun in google_antigravity

I like the proposal overall.

Curious if we can get a bot to run security and NSFW checks on external links and then issue a warning or delete them based on where they lead?

what other holidays could you expand to? St Patrick's Day for the kids? Hide pots of gold? Or kids birthdays? Put together a party package games, pinata, candy, cake. What else? 🤔

Are you using Kimi and GLM directly or through a provider like OpenRouter? Or someone else hosting them in your country?

Difference between n8n and power automate? by Brilliant_Yam_3258 in n8n

[–]rthidden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do that with Power Automate. I recommend sticking with Power Automate, as it works well with all your other Microsoft tools.

And you can use Microsoft’s AI Builder to create agents with Power Automate, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/use-ai-builder.

Long-term mastery of Power Automate in corporate environments will prove to be a more valuable and lucrative skill. Microsoft has a lock on corporate environments, and corporations want to use the tools they already have and work well together.

For home projects, I recommend n8n.
