Surprisingly, Windows 10's explorer.exe still works in Windows 11... Version 26H1, albeit bit buggy (e.g., non-working Task View). When ran (11's explorer isn't running), it'll use the taskbar from Windows 10, more features than Windows 11's taskbar such as resizing and moving it.show more

It's happening! Here's your first look at a movable... taskbar in Windows 11, coming soon. You'll be able to move and resize the taskbar on Windows 11, just like you did on Windows 10! It's still in internal testing, and to be clear, this video is from a virtual machine, which is why it might feel slow. Also, Microsoft won't use the right-click menu we're seeing in the video; it's only being used to quickly debug the feature. What else do you want Microsoft to improve in Windows 11? 👇show more

Microsoft teases a faster and configurable context menu (right-click... menu) for Windows 11 after years of complaints! Marcus Ash, who leads Design and Research for Windows and Devices, says Microsoft is working on making context menus faster, simpler by default, and configurable to what you use most. That last part is huge. Windows 11’s context menu was supposed to fix the cluttered Windows 10 right-click menu. Instead, it became slower, padded, inconsistent, and still messy. You often need “Show more options” just to reach the old menu, which defeats the whole point of redesigning it. Now Microsoft is taking the same approach it used with Start and taskbar: give users control. Resizable Start. Movable taskbar. Smaller taskbar. Customizable Start sections. And now, configurable context menus. This is the Windows 11 reset users wanted 🥳show more

Watch: What happens to your CPU when Windows 11's... Low Latency Profile feature is enabled. CPU usage automatically spikes briefly to speed up the launch of Windows 11's Start menu, Notifications Center, Control Center, right-click menu, and other OS-level features. The same CPU boost is coming soon to Windows apps, which will allow them to load faster and briefly spike your CPU usage.show more

I've been testing out Windows 11's new Haptic Signals... feature on compatible hardware, and I think I love it. I'm someone who yearns for small UX details like this, and I'm so happy to see Microsoft leaning into subtle but quality UX implementations like haptics across the Windows Shell. These new Haptic Signals provide a subtle bump when interacting with certain UI elements and actions, such as snapping app windows or dragging files in File Explorer. The feedback response feels great and intentional, and makes using the OS feel more satisfying. There's still room for improvement, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed with this first implementation. It's only supported on a handful of devices for now, but that should change over time. I've always loved the haptic feedback layered throughout Google Pixel phones, and now Windows is getting its own version of it. More UX niceties like this, please!show more

Holy shit... someone built a free portable tool that... activates Windows, kills the bloatware, and shuts down every telemetry service Microsoft buried in your OS. It's called GTweak. One .exe file. No install. No subscription. You download it, run it, and your Windows is finally yours. Every "Windows debloater" before this made you pick one trade-off. Activate but keep the spyware. Debloat but lose update control. Disable telemetry but break Defender toggles. GTweak does all of it inside a single portable executable. Here's what makes it different from every Windows tweaker that came before: → HWID + KMS activation built in, no sketchy batch scripts, no Massgrave links, no PowerShell one-liners pasted from a Reddit thread → Removes Cortana, Copilot, Recall, OneDrive, Edge, and every pre-installed UWP app on Windows 10 and 11 in one click → Disables keyloggers and telemetry across Windows and NVIDIA including the data collection tasks hiding in Task Scheduler that nobody talks about → Blocks Microsoft's shadow domains at the hosts file AND firewall level so the OS literally cannot phone home → Disables Defender, SmartScreen, Antimalware, VBS, and UAC with proper toggles instead of registry hacks that break on the next update → Pauses Windows Updates entirely and wipes the cached update files Microsoft refuses to let you delete → Kills Teredo, ISATAP, and IPv6 along with the diagnostic services running silently in the background → Activates the hidden Ultimate Performance power plan and fixes the Realtek audio delay bug nobody at Microsoft has patched in 5 years → Runs custom .ps1, .cmd, .bat, .reg scripts with TrustedInstaller privileges, the highest permission level Windows has → Built-in hardware monitor, NTFS compression, RAM cleaner, and secure Windows.old wipe Killed: $30 Windows 11 Pro keys, every "debloat script" repo with 47 forks and no maintenance, the $5/mo "PC optimizer" garbage running on YouTube ads. Works on every official Windows build since 10 (18362.116). One .NET Framework 4.8 dependency that's already on your machine. BSD 3-Clause License. 100% Opensource.show more

Microsoft's new Outlook takes more than 10 seconds to... open an email via notifications, while Outlook Classic opens instantly on Windows 11! The funniest part? If I ignore the notification, open Outlook manually, find the email myself, and click it, I can finish faster than the notification flow. It's all because Outlook for Windows is literally Microsoft Edge running Outlook .com in a browser window. New Outlook runs through WebView2 with around 10 separate processes: GPU process, service worker, utility processes, manager, and more. It uses roughly 490MB to 636MB RAM while idle, compared to Outlook Classic sitting around 117MB to 148MB. CPU usage is also worse: around 4% idle on new Outlook versus under 1% on Classic in my testing. Microsoft shut down Mail and Calendar, keeps pushing enterprises toward this web wrapper, and still wants people to believe it is the future of email on Windows. SHAME!show more

Microsoft's hidden Windows 11 trick makes apps launch 70%... faster. I tested it on a low-end PC, and early results are promising. Right now, when you click Start, open File Explorer, launch Edge, or right-click for a context menu, and there’s often that tiny micro-stutter before anything happens. Microsoft is now testing a feature called Low Latency Profile. Once turned on, and you do a high-priority action, Windows 11 briefly pushes the CPU to max frequency for 1–3 seconds, finishes the task faster, then drops back down. In my testing on a constrained VM with just 2 cores and 4GB RAM, the difference was obvious. Edge, Outlook, Copilot, and the Start menu opened much faster. CPU usage spiked to around 96–97%, but only for a few seconds. For high-end PCs, the difference may be small. But for budget laptops and low-end Windows 11 machines, this could be a real game-changer.show more

This is the Devil’s footprint It is one of... Germany's most famous legends: when Munich’s Frauenkirche was being built in the 15th century, the architect made a deal with the Devil. The church would be funded... but only on one condition: it could have no windows. When construction was finished, the Devil stood at a precise spot near the entrance and saw nothing but bare walls. Convinced he had won, he stomped his foot into the floor so hard that it left the dark imprint visitors still see today. But when he stepped forward, he discovered the truth. The "windowless" church was an illusion, created by perfectly positioned columns that hid the stained glass windows from his view. Realizing he had been tricked, the Devil fled in fury, leaving only his scorched footprint behind. Some ghost tours in Munich add even more to the myth. Guides claim the air near the entrance is strangely cold, as if the Devil still circles the church, searching for a way back in. In winter, they say, the snow at the doorway is always last to melt. History tells us it's just a legend... but the footprint is real, the illusion is real, and the story continues to haunt the cathedral to this day.show more

Polymarket pays me $400 a day because it's slower... than Binance by 2 seconds. And this is just the beginning - while I was writing this post, the bot made another $40. Let me explain. I built a bot on OpenClaw. It monitors Binance 24/7. Sees a sharp impulse - switches to high attention mode. If price doesn't snap back within a second (the impulse could be a squeeze) - it opens a trade on Polymarket in the same direction. Why this works. When BTC moves sharply, Polymarket odds don't have time to adjust. These windows appear every day - especially now, with elevated volatility across financial markets. I usually enter when the gap is 200+ points. Odds are still stale - I capture the spread before it closes. Aggressive mode - spreads from 100 points, significantly more trades per day. $20 per trade. 10-30 trades a day. Morning. Coffee. Open the laptop. The bot closed 14 trades overnight. Another good dayshow more

Nibiru has moved from 4 o’clock position to 3... o’clock position. Moving up towards the elliptic (center of Sun - circle) and seen closer to the Sun. Nibiru is moving infront of the Sun, just as predicted by the Zetas. 10/24/25 vs 11/04/25 ☄️ #Nibiru #Atlas “November is when the Nibiru Complex will move from the left of the Sun to center in front of the Sun.” “• Planet X, finding itself tilting along the flow lines while close to the Sun, does a slow roll to align with the Sun at its middle, the S Pole slung away from the Sun's S Pole, this direction and momentum continuing until it rolls 270° to click into a side-by-side alignment with the Sun. This is implied in Eastfield, a 270° roll both before and after the timeline. • Planet X does more than one 270° roll, as the fastest way to align itself again with magnetic flow lines after piercing the Ecliptic, as implied in Eastfield, the second roll culminating in the passage where the visible presence of Planet X increases enormously during the week of rotation stoppage. The timeline implies a position of Planet X prior to the passage that include angles of 45° on either side and a 180° reversal in between. • Planet X first approaches creating wobbles in the orientation of the Earth as it passes the Sun's S Pole, then a tight lock while rising through the flow lines to the Ecliptic, then slinging the Earth in a radically different orientation (denoted by the beak) during a 270° roll, and then halting the rotation of the Earth as the Atlantic Rift is gripped in line with Planet X.”show more

before The Best Thing aired, all I wished for... was a smooth broadcast at the right time. it was an A level drama adapted from a small IP with a small budget as it didn't have many promotions materials back then before airing. but surprisingly, during the airing, it was well received by the viewers. it achieved S+ rating and got more than 3 million rmb revenue from its merchandise. it became the only modern drama to maintain a long post-airing tail, with over +11 million views per episode even after its peak period ended. clearly shows that there are lots of new viewers and it has strong rewatch value. now, it has even become the most watched cdrama on iQIYI in 2025. congratulations to all casts & crew for these achievements🎉 also thank you for finding your way into my spring last year and warming it so gently, The Best Thing♡show more

I want to believe, but there's too much evidence... that not only tells me but shows me that they lied. I feel like low Earth orbit is as far as we can go... 1. The van Allen radiation belt. 2. The disgusted, unexciting, ashamed post moon landing conference with the three astronauts. Their body language, mannerisms, and answers scream that they're lying. 3. The lack of noise of the jet engines in the "videos." 4. How did they get the lunar rover on the spaceship? 5. No craters or dust underneath the spaceship. 6. How did the film the spaceship take off perfectly if nobody was left on the moon to operate the camera, and how was it so perfect if there was a delay? 7. The rockets and the spaceship look like a model. 8. The video of them saying that they are 130,000 miles away from Earth when all they really did was cover up the windows when they are in low earth orbit and film a small portion of Earth from low Earth orbit to simulate that they were far away, but then you find out that they're only in low Earth orbit when they uncover the windows. (Shown in the video below) 9. How we have to redesign the space suits to be able to handle the atmosphere on the moon. 10. The lack of talk and missions to the moon ever since. 11. The numerous blacked out photos from NASA. 12. How an older smartphone has way more technology than the entire spaceship back in 1969, and how we were able to even communicate with them in the spaceship as the one astronaut who passed away before the moon launch specified that they had trouble communicating between buildings and the shuttle on the ground. 13. Not one single astronaut would put their hand on the Bible and say they went to the moon. Why? 14. All the CGI and bubbles caught on NASA videos. 15. All the green screen captures and astronauts on wires in the "shuttle" and on the "ISS." There are so many bloopers and outtakes of astronauts and shuttle hatches malfunctioning, people appearing in the background of videos of the shuttle, people fading in and out, I could go on forever... How would you convince me against the evidence or prove me wrong from the arguments that I have provided?show more

🙏🇺🇸🙏 Vietnam vet US Army 82nd Airborne's Dennis Franz... Schlachta AKA actor Dennis Franz Dennis Franz: Airborne Division, U.S. Army After graduating from college in 1968, Franz was drafted and immediately enlisted in officer's school. He served 11 months with the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions in Vietnam. Franz served 11 month in Vietnam in a reconnaissance unit, and after his service he suffered depression for some time afterwards." "It was the loneliest, most depressing, frustrating time," he said in a 1995 interview. "It was life-altering. I came back a much different person than when | left, much more serious. I left my youth over there." "I was curious about the military service and went into the Army," Franz told TV Guide. "I regretted my curiosity about two weeks after I was in. I ended up in the 82nd Airborne and the 101st Airborne in Vietnam for 11 months." "I'm not as frivolous as I once was. I experienced death over there, and losing friends. I got as close to being shot as I care to. I could feel and hear bullets whizzing over my head, and that shakes you up quite a bit. When I came back in the early 1970s, there was still a lot of anti-war feeling. I didn't know how I fit in... I was torn up and angry for a year." - Dennis Franz Thank you for your service! 🙏🇺🇸🙏show more

Sometimes you have to spend money to make money.... This cabin is 30 yrs old & sits on the land my small retreat center is being built. But, to bring in that “WOW” factor, I’m spending $200K on renovations here. The total cost of the house & 16 acres was $300K back in 2020. But, when I drop the link to my treehouses on here, I want this to be a jaw dropper as well. When a guest walks in the door, I want them blown away. A few things I’m doing: 1) Ripping off entire back wall to headers and putting floor to ceiling windows. 2) Redoing all bathrooms and modernizing 3) Tongue and Groove ceilings with stain 4) New back deck (already built) 5) Separate deck off of new deck for hot tub and either a swinging bed or heat sauna 6) Paint entire interior 7) Full rip out of kitchen to modernize 8) New furniture 9) New paint on exterior and new metal roof 10) Full arcade game room and pool table 11) Basement Finish with added bathroom/shower, bedroom, and movie theater roomshow more

$ZEPH Chain Audit Update ⛓️📢 Upcoming Audit Hardfork (v8)... We’re rolling out our Auditing HF on the 31st March as a critical milestone for our chain audit and commitment to maintaining chain integrity! ➡️ Hardfork Date: 31st March Updated downloads will be available ahead of time and will be announced when ready. ➡️ Audit Window: Throughout the month of April, all users will have the opportunity to audit their coins. This process is essential to confirm the integrity of your assets and our overall supply. ➡️ GUI Wallet Functionality: Our GUI wallets (Web, Windows, and OSX) will be updated with streamlined auditing functionality – designed to be as close to a “one-click” process as possible – to make this as painless as we can for everyone. ➡️ Mandatory Audit: All assets on the network will require auditing (ZEPH, ZSD, ZRS, ZYS). Please ensure you follow the instructions once the update is available! But as mentioned, this will be made to be as painless as possible! We recognize that this development and process has taken longer than we initially anticipated. We apologize for the delays. Our approach has evolved significantly over time, and in addition; the necessary emergency Hardfork v7 to fix the morphing assets bug has ultimately set us back. But we’ve been working hard (and still working hard!) behind the scenes in order to bring this update for Zephyr as soon as we can, while being as rigorous as we can. We remain fully committed to providing a robust and secure protocol, and for us to move on from this and work on much more exciting features and developments! Thank you for your continued support! — The Zephyr Teamshow more

You Can Heal Yourself With Nature Movement - By... moving our body we give strength to our muscles, promote blood flow and lymphatic flow enhancing the delivery of nutrients and the removal of waste products. We also create a piezoelectric effect that energises the system. Breathing - The delivery of air into the body through intentional conscious breathing is one of the most powerful modalities for nervous system renewal, mental peace and the delivery of oxygen to the body and the removal of carbonic acid buildup from the system Sunshine - It’s my belief that the more sunlight we absorb without sunscreen, the healthier we will become. A tan looks good because it is healthy and every part of your body thrives when sunlight touches it delivering blood flow as well as a high frequency and energy Grounding - Existing in connection with the earth’s electrical fields resets everything about our energy, reduces inflammation and promotes the movement of proper channels such as detox - it’s a fantastic practice to be connected to nature. Green light - When sunlight moves through trees and leaves we receive Green light by which is very healing and high in near infrared light, in fact it is one of the most healing modalities to absorb in your skin particularly if you have any abrasions or wounds - even more powerful than red light . Fresh air - The first nutrient, having fresh air that is rich in oxygen is absolutely imperative to health and you should always have all of your windows open in the house if possible when not outside. Positive thinking - Whatever you think, shall become and having and cultivating a positive mindset that intentionally brings you positive energy is one of the cornerstones to great health. You can think yourself into sickness and you can think yourself into health so choose to view the world in a positive light and so it’ll be for you.show more

Colmap 4.0 was very recently released, so it inspired... me to do some work to better understand it and its new capabilities with Rerun. I want to really understand how Colmap, and in particular, pycolmap, works outside of just calling it via the CLI. So my goal is to use the low-level pycolmap API to log every part of the pipeline. The explicit goal is to have an alternative to the SQLite database that I can utilize. Instead of SQLite, I want to try logging everything directly to rerun and use RRD. This means I can have deep inspectability and still save the features/matches/2D view geometry, but be able to view it directly in rerun. I think this is one of the superpowers that rerun provides; data and visualizations are deeply integrated. As I'm often working with sequential data (videos), I'm going to specifically focus on four things: 1. Monocular Video Simple: Calls high-level APIs such as pycolmap.extract_features, pycolmap.match_sequential, pycolmap.incremental_mapping. These are basically identical to the CLI options and provide a good baseline. 2. Monocular Video Streamed: Take the above high-level APIs and break them down to their iterator version, logging each component in a streamed manner. This way, I can stream the intermediate features to rerun while the extraction/matching/mapping is happening. 3. Rig with unknown calibration: <- WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS This is probably the most interesting version and the first one I've been working on. It allows one to set a rig between known sensors, such as in VR/AR devices, leading to much better reconstructions with multiple cameras. This is the case where we don't know the calibration a priori, so we have to run a reconstruction twice: once as a normal Colmap reconstruction with no rig constraints, use this to generate the constraints, and then do it again with the newly found rig. 4. Rig with known calibration: This is the RoboCap example, where we have a pre-calibrated set of sensors, so we don't need to run the two reconstructions and also gain better matching between cameras, both spatially and temporally. Again, this leads to a much better reconstruction! Along with all this, GLOMAP has become a first-class global mapper, making it super easy to use directly within pycolmap! I'm excited to do more with this and compare it to things like pycuvslam, vipe, and other alternatives.show more
