Developer Michael Niehaus found that removing two shortcuts from the Windows 11 taskbar can free up several hundred megabytes of RAM and reduce overall system load. It turns out that the widget bar and chat powered by Microsoft Teams run WebView2 rendering processes in the background to display web content in applications. Moreover, if the widget panel does this only after the first call to it, then the chat creates background processes even if it has not been started. The most interesting thing is that this can be avoided very simply by removing the widget bar and chat icons from the taskbar.

MS is totally rotten corporation that just waste people resources and clients money.

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to approve a bill that would curb the app stores of companies that lawmakers say have too much control over the market. We are talking, of course, about Google Play and the Apple App Store. As part of the bill, large software distribution platforms are prohibited from requiring application developers to use their payment system - developers should have a choice.

But even more important in the new bill is that it will force Apple to allow apps to be installed on its devices from third-party sources. Such a move would allow app developers to avoid 15% and 30% App Store fees. However, according to Apple, this will jeopardize user privacy. On the contrary, although Google promotes its Google Play on Android devices, it does not prohibit users from installing software from third-party sources.

It is lie that Google likes to still allow you to install APK, as with each new version of Android it is harder and harder to do.

Installer is 14 megabytes. I am serious, for x64 version. For 32 bit it is 12.5mb.

And it has spectrum editor (very simple). Works perfect with MKV and MP4 videos (you can have docked or overlay video visible). Sadly, can't mux audio back (or I didn't find how) and you need to use avidemux for it. Has all necessary stuff, and normally works with most useful plugins that I tried. But sometimes it can hang with some VST3 plugins especially, so make sure to check first.

Huge contrast with modern bloated mess.
