There was a problem loading this video. This could be due to a temporary network issue or the video might be unavailable.

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.... show more

Microsoft’s preload trick works for launch speed.... but it just doesn’t fix the deeper performance problems users have been shouting about since Windows 11 shipped. Watch the before-preload and after-preload comparison of File Explorer on Windows 11. It's faster. Video in slow motion.

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

Microsoft still can’t decide what Copilot should be on Windows 11. Microsoft is testing a new Copilot docking experience, and it feels like Microsoft is quietly going back to the original sidebar idea. Copilot still opens as an app by default, but there’s now a new title bar menu with custom snapping options. You can keep it as a normal app, use picture-in-picture, or dock Copilot to the left or right side of the desktop. When docked, Windows 11 resizes your workspace around Copilot. Your apps move aside, File Explorer adjusts, and Copilot stays pinned to the edge instead of floating like a separate window.

Windows 11 extracts 7z file at breathtaking pace of what seems like about a file a second. I don't usually trust the progress bars but it's been doing this for an hour now so actually 5-6 more hours seems on point. Far Manager extracts the archive in 11 seconds. This is on SSD.

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.

After months of stealth work I’d like to finally introduce my new app to the #ICPFamily! This app lets any user create a personal asset canister that only they own using just a wallet. It also provides a file explorer in the browser to let users upload and manage their files on chain. Features: • Code-free autonomous canister creation. • Familiar file explorer interface. • Drag and drop file upload. • Supports Plug, Stoic, and NFID. • Works on mobile with NFID. The app is currently in a whitelisted beta as I finish up testing but I’m happy to allow anyone early access. There are a lot of features still on the way including share via QR-code, named canisters, and even automatic cycles top-up. This app was meant for everyone to be able to use so I look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts, feedback, and feature requests. The link to the deployed app is below, just login and dm me the principal at the bottom for whitelist :)

GPT-5.6 PRO JUST GENERATED A COMPLETE 3D HOUSE INSIDE A SINGLE HTML FILE IN 30 MINUTES. No engine. No build pipeline. Pure WebGL2 in one file you open directly in a browser. The structure is coherent. The volumes are credible. It's fully navigable, walk through it like any 3D scene. Still a few inconsistencies, mostly around the windows, but at the rate this is improving, that specific class of flaw won't last long.

Grok 4.5 just built a full macOS-style web OS in one shot and actually crushed it. Single HTML file with embedded CSS + JS. From one prompt it delivered: > macOS menu bar + dock > Draggable and resizable app windows > Functional file explorer > Working terminal + browser mockup > SVG desktop icons + notifications > Settings app with theme switching > Fully functional sound player (real Web Audio synthesis) > Playable games inside the desktop Almost no corrections needed. The working sound system and interactive elements inside the windows is where most models usually fall apart, but this one handled it cleanly. Grok 4.5’s frontend and UI generation is actually on another level right now. SpaceXAI

Claude Code vs Codex vs Grok Build: Who builds the best Windows 95 OS in HTML? I benchmarked them live on speed, lines of code, file size… and actual usability. Claude: Fastest (384 lines, 14KB) but basic Grok: Took longer… and built a monster (full Explorer, Paint, interactive Grok terminal, browser, Control Panel, dial-up to AOL, shutdown & more) Codex/GPT-5: Didn’t quite make it Out-of-the-box winner? Grok. By a mile. 👑 Full breakdown + results inside 👀

Windows 11’s hidden CPU boost is now available in the May optional update! I installed KB5089573 (Build 26200.8524) and tested the Low Latency Profile again. For now, this feature does not make your apps launch faster, as that particular change is not included in today's update. However, the Low Latency Profile currently makes OS flyouts load faster. This means the Start menu opens with less lag, and Action Center feels smoother. Plus, right-click menus show less of that annoying rendering delay. On slower PCs, this should matter even more because Windows briefly pushes the CPU harder during shell interactions, then lets it drop back to idle. Some people call this a lazy band-aid, but that misses the point. macOS and Linux already have similar tricks. This is how modern systems make interactions feel instant. The real win comes when Microsoft combines this with native WinUI 3 work and less WebView2 bloat. Windows 11 finally feels like it’s being tuned for responsiveness again.

Kevin O'Leary says Apple's genius is making people pay 5x more for a laptop they could buy for $350 "you can buy an Apple laptop, average price about $1,800, or you can buy the same functionality for $350 on a Windows laptop" "but you still pay $1,800. Why? Brand" "you're paying a 5x multiple in some cases for something that is exactly like a Windows machine" "I put that out to people, they say, yeah, but it's not an Apple. So there is the genius of Jobs"

$TESTED: Windows 11's upcoming "Low Latency Profile" mode brings genuine performance improvements to the OS, speeding up flyout and app launches significantly. We've benchmarked opening some apps on video with the Low Latency Profile enabled and disabled, and you can see differences in how quickly things appear. For some things, it's a fraction of a second faster, for others, it's a significant increase in speed. In our testing, this new Low Latency Profile is a major improvement in overall responsiveness when it comes to opening apps and flyouts. Our tests were conducted on a clean install of the latest Windows 11 preview build on the same hardware.$

A fun use case for Copilot on Windows: Editing video clips in Filmora for the first time. Got stuck editing two clips together and instead of searching for a tutorial, I used Copilot Vision to guide me to the right feature within the app. This is the kind of help that actually keeps you in your flow.

This place is a war zone. That's what it is. You see these images of windows being smashed, cars burnt, baseball bats on someone's property, this is not good management of a state. The repercussions are both political, and for small business this is horrific. No one is going down there to buy anything. So your business is massively disrupted even if they haven't smashed your windows. The people of California should really look themselves in the mirror and say, "What the hell are we doing?"

For 40 years the file browser hasn’t changed. Today, we’re launching with $8 million in seed funding to rebuild the file browser into something more intelligent, searchable, and delightful. The world is in the middle of a data explosion. We’re generating and using more files than ever, but the apps we’re using to manage our files don’t even understand them. It’s time for file browsers to become useful. When you search for “dog”, it should show you content with dogs in it, not just files with “dog” in the name! When you want to edit, convert, summarize, or organize a file, your browser should do that, too. Your files tell the story of your life, but when you need a specific one, you usually can’t even find it anymore. Why can’t your file browser find it for you, or cross-reference it when you have a question? Prompting can give an LLM a million tokens of context. With Poly, you can give it the next trillion. As long as we can afford it, all new users receive 100GB of free cloud storage. We can’t wait for you to try it out!

💬 Do any of you still remember RealPlayer™? Back in the 1990s, websites were just text, links and if you were very lucky some images, but definitely NOT video or audio Internet speeds were extremely slow (think 2.5kb/s, so about 10,000 times slower than an average connection now) so it was simply impossible or it'd take ages to load RealPlayer changed that, they made a heavy compression codec for video and audio where a video could be just a few kilobytes, and with that it instantly became the first app that let people play real audio and video inside websites, it integrated into browsers like Netscape or Internet Explorer so people could embed video and audio on sites, and they did! RealPlayer was so successful that by the year 2000 more than 85% of all audio or video content on the web was in the RealPlayer format The app itself was free for people to use, and they made money by charging for the server software that would stream the video and audio They IPO'd during the internet bubble of the late 90s and were valued at $550 million dollars, which would be $1B inflation-adjusted now, so they were a billion dollar company (That internet bubble by the way has endless parallels with the AI bubble we're probably in today) So why don't you hear about them these days anymore? Well, Microsoft started bundling Windows Media Player with Windows, just like they did bundling Internet Explorer, and they gave away the server software for streaming Windows Media content (like .wma and .wmv) for free This overnight nuked RealPlayer's business, so they sued Microsoft for unfair competition, they won in court in 2005, and Microsoft agreed to pay them $761 million to settle, so I think the founder still got rich from it That same year in 2005, YouTube started and around 2008 the HTML standard added the tag while making most video streaming tech open source, so it wasn't a business anymore RealPlayer stayed public as a company though until actually recently, 2022, when the original founder Rob Glaser bought it back and took it private for about $25 million Obviously nobody needs a video streaming app anymore, it's integrated in all platforms, software, and devices now, so now they seem to be focusing on "AI-powered facial recognition for security professionals" On my site I've installed RealPlayer for you go back into time and try and managed to the get streaming part working too, so you can listen to actual radio show from the 90s about UFOs at Roswell which I found on Jason Scott's Discmaster archives These days we all watch video on YouTube, Instagram, X and TikTok etc. but it all started with RealPlayer 😊

Were the "Middle Ages" Actually the Millennial Kingdom of Christ? The theory that the mainstream biblical timeline is FALSE and we're actually living in Satan's Little Season right now is exploding across the internet. Even if you aren't Christian—or even religious at all—this is still a VERY interesting rabbit hole to explore, as it provides compelling explanations for many of the biggest historical mysteries we see all around us. Watch this video for the full breakdown of Little Season Eschatology, and share your thoughts below! [video credit: Bridgewater Triangle Explorer on youtube]
