Tried VLC twice , didn't like it. I use KMPlayer . I like how I can change the size of the subs , audio sync, with just some shortcuts on the keyboard. One click to full size and back. MPC-BE is an option . But I must say that with a faster 4k screen , in many recent uploads in 264 and 265 , movement in video's is less smooth.

The hover over engages the leftside widget screen , I think ( it's been more than a month that I disabled it ). I did the ultimate : No widgets , not just hide them , but no news feeds loading in the background using my internet connection. Like I said , I did this right after I bought the computer , so I don't remember, but I kept this link: Because when do a clean install , I'll need to do it again. Microsoft said that in the future they will allow 3rd party widgets , not just their cr_p and MSN feeds . But even then I don't want it.

I did it the day after , so through some register setting :How to Remove Bing Chat “Discover” Button in Microsoft Edge (howtogeek.com)

Lots of truth in there , for me that is. Now I must say that I had (still have) XP media center edition , which is much nicer looking than plain XP.

The trouble with using third party apps to "mold" windows to your liking , like your "Total Commander " or changing the look of W 11 , is that W11 is a OS that is not finished . With every update , if anything goes wrong , you wonder whether it is one of these changer apps or something more invasive as an other file explore.

Yes cortana and teams and others I already forget , I unnstalled them quickly. Too often the nagging about making edge the default browser. Now I do like edge , even with the endless tweaks for more privacy, but I refuse to put it as default . Compare W11 Photo (viewer) with the same picture in paint , a media player , ... and the photo viewer's colours are off . How to use that to make changes when the colours are not real ? I just came from XP , so scrolling without selecting window , is new for me. Last computer's battery , I could take out , but now they are inside so limiting charging via software is great. What I don't like is that when you move or copy files to another window/folder , it automaticly orders them . The copy process is weird too although I like that I can see the speed and a graph.

Only for people with a microsoft account , I hope. I don't have one. It was already a pain to get rid of the widgets and the ads/news in start menu and in edge. Everytime they get out something new , I have to search to get rid of it , like the big B (bing) in edge. So much useless stuff like onedrive, clipchamp , windows games which is full of ads > uninstall. Some of the games in XP work in W11 (but without sounds) , XP calculator is better than the ugly W11 one. Snipping tool had a bug , I use the office 2003 office picture manager ... still works in W11. After what , 2 /3 decades of windows , you still need a third party media player ? Movies & TV or the Media player s_ck. WMP legacy is doable. What I do like is scrolling in a window without the need to select it. Setting battery levels to start and stop charging. But those things may have been in other versions too.

12 years in Phrae , until late 2019 we had to go to NAN immigration and no home visits . Now 3+ years Phrae immigration office with one home visit last year (or the year before , I forget). Nice folks . No changes at my renewal in sept 22 . Did he have to send the pictures to I.O. ? Or show them on his phone or camera ?

And I did find woke Bill Gates' only contribution to w11:

I've recently downgraded from WinXP to a new computer with W11, it is terrible and ugly. W11 is like a renovation of an old house , adding "new" things , that aren't new at all. A window is now a piece of white "paper" with some lines on and some text. Productivity is bad for me. It is a bloaded OS . I come from an 5400 rpm HD with 2GB of 667 Mhz DDR2 and a dual core CPU maxed out at 2,16 Ghz to an fast SSD , 16 GB 4800 Mhz DDR5 and 14 cores , and XP feels snappier than W11. At least it doesn't look as childish as W10 with those tiles. 12 years without updates in XP went great , now I have to keep an eye open for all the sh_tty updates. Privacy is terrible , so many settings to keep some privacy , and still a lot goes to microsoft .

So that is for recycling , not a sort of fixed deposit to turn them in so they get re-used by the beer company ? Like in europe you turn them in , get your money back or a token that you can use at the checkout of the supermarket . The place I stay at gives Singha water bottles and the empties go back and are re-used. You can clearly see that on the bottles , they are not new. If it is only to be recycled , what a waste and pretty expensive. Beer itself is already so expensive . In Aluminium cans even more expensive. Maybe switch to 1,5 liter plastic bottles like softdrinks .

These are heavy glass bottles from Singha , Leo and others. I never seen people with empties giving them back at the supermarket. So that is for a 600ml beer around 53 B , 10 B for the beer , 10 B for the glass to throw away ? And the rest is tax , transport and profit ? Thanks.
