From startup to shutdown, loading Windows 3.1, MS Word, and MS Excel on a 386DX-33 with 8MB of RAM, a significantly slower machine than the emulated one in the original video. And guess what? The user interface is still plenty responsive. 2000x less RAM than a typical modern PC

From startup to shutdown, loading Windows 2.11 and MS Word 1.1a on a 12MHz 286 computer with a whopping 1664KB of RAM. Not megabytes. Kilobytes. Note how snappy and responsive the user interface is, especially considering how slow this computer is.

Tested: Windows 11’s ‘faster’ File Explorer (preloaded) is still slower than Windows 10. On a 4GB RAM test machine, File Explorer used ~32.4MB of RAM without preloading. After turning on preloading, Windows quietly adds ~35MB more. So Explorer now sits at ~67.4MB in memory before you even open it. 35MB isn’t a big deal in 2025. Your browser eats that for breakfast. That's not the point of my testing. Why is the preloaded File Explorer still slower than Windows 10? I made a video to compare the two versions.

Less than 0.1 ms CPU and 8MB mem DURING COMBAT with every single one of these (14) addons running with EllesmereUI. Check the performance for yourself in raid or M+ it is insane

Okay, you people. I DECREASED the old computer specs to 486DX/33, 8MB, and 3600RPM HDD in order to give Windows 3.1 less of an advantage on such "fast" hardware, and captured my whole desktop with the clock and ambient audio so you can see and hear it isn't "sped up" (lol).

WhatsApp for Windows uses more memory than many expect. A recent report found that the app can consume over 1.2 GB of RAM after opening and switching between chats. The issue began after Meta replaced the older native Windows app with a WebView2-based version, While this simplifies development, it also makes the app heavier and less efficient. Users have complained about slower performance, delayed notifications, and the app continuing to run in the background even after closing the window. he old native version used much less memory and performed better.

Bill Maher: “During most primetime nights, less than 1% of the country is watching Fox News, CNN, and MS Now, combined… A guy on TikTok pressure washing his driveway gets bigger ratings.” “76% of Americans watch less than 1 hour of any cable news in a month.”

He is Public TV's Ranganna, a nationalist journalist. During a discussion on the Ram Mandir theft issue, he said, "Why is there no one from South India in the Ram Mandir Trust? Why are all the members from the North? What is the use of us? You have taken the blood and sacrifices of South Indians"

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other,' going on to say FAA shut down because of their concerns about DOD counter-drone activity in the area."

Here's an MS Word feature that nobody is talking about and that just blew my mind. Open an blank document in MS Word and click on the "Dicatate" button. Select "Transcribe." Next upload an audio file you want to transcribe. I uploaded recording of one my webinars. It's 3 hours and 17 minutes long. And MS Word will transcribe the whole thing for you in a few minutes. Once it's done transcribing, Word gives you four options: Just text, With speakers, With timestamps, With speakers and timestamps. Choose the one according to your preference and you will have the whole transcript.

I've done almost no optimization work, but I'm at ~50% less CPU than tmux and 10x less RAM than zellij. Plus I am running a full lua vm in the client. And I've written 0 lines of code by hand.

Commander Keen in Goodbye, Galaxy! for MS-DOS PC (by id Software/Apogee/1991) is considered a landmark title in PC gaming and consists of 2 episodes (Secret of the Oracle & The Armageddon Machine). A 3rd episode was planned, but then Wolfenstein 3D happened, and the rest is history.

🚨🇺🇦ZELENSKY: OUR AID HAS BEEN CUT SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE US AND EUROPE “If somebody says that there is enough aid, please compare what was back then and what is going on now. Back then, America’s aid was around 90%. Now, what our military has on the battlefield is 40% of Ukrainian-made supplies. A bit more than one-third of the US, and a bit less than the US, is Europe, and around 40% is Ukraine.” Source: RT

Can 8GB of Unified Memory on MacBook Neo match 16GB on Windows Laptops? NO! Did a RAM stress test by exporting photos in Lightroom which is VERY RAM-hungry and opened browser tabs. The slow SSD speed sabotages the swap memory performance. Full video:

Used the updated Build Web Apps plugin that uses GPT-Image-2 to design a UI and assets to recreate Windows 3.1 incl. a virtual filesystem for the MS-DOS prompt. Naturally the next step was to use Browser Use to interact with it and play Minesweeper 😂 Note: Once the cursor is starting to move the video is unedited
