They don't say anything about it in the press release or TFA but it would make sense for wsl users in a corporate environment.

> Cursor had something like this at some point. They've removed it.

No, they say that they have removed it, but they haven't. Cursor claims they retired local indexing in favor of something they call "instant grep," which, according to their own support, doesn't use a local index, and they removed the tool in Cursor settings to rebuild the index.

But Cursor still uses a local index. They have just hidden it as a subfolder in your ".git" folder. "~/.git/cursor".

Their hidden index often goes stale, and I had to nuke that folder every time I changed many files. This isn't new; when they officially had a local index, it was often stale too. I developed a script that ran on a daily schedule, every few hours, to alert me when Cursor's index went stale.

I constantly had to watch for Cursor suddenly not finding documents that clearly existed, and it often worked on outdated content. Disabling instant grep removes the hidden index, btw and problem gone.

Cool. Will give it a try. This app is something i have missed for a long time and something I would purchase (one-time license fee, not subscription) eg as a Windows Store App.

The got was they already had. The US has been able to do pretty much everything the wanted in Greenland since the 2nd world war.

AI Slop. They haven't even bothered to replace "[Your Company Name]" on the about page.

What if you make MFA mandatory. Normal users should have little issues with that despite the increased friction but bots would struggle with this.

I just opened cursor and was presented with a modal dialog with a "Try Origin" button and zero option to dismiss it. Had to nuke the cursor process to get it to go away. At least they didn't show it again at relaunch.
