NetSpeedTray key features: Lightweight & Efficient Runs quietly in your system tray without consuming resources. Features a "Dynamic Update Rate" that lowers refresh frequency when the network is idle to save CPU and battery life. Native Look & Feel Blends seamlessly with Windows 10/11 UI. Smart detection for light and dark taskbar themes ensures text is always visible.

Seamless OS Integration Behaves like a native Windows component. Hides instantly with auto-hiding taskbar Hides when a fullscreen app is active Smart Network Monitoring Accurate by Default: Auto mode identifies your main internet connection and ignores noise from VPNs or virtual adapters.

Per-Interface Filtering: View speed history for specific adapters (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, VPN). Safe & Efficient Data Management: Adjustable retention, automatic cleanup, optimized database. Easy Data Export: Export raw data to .csv or save high-quality graphs for reports. NetSpeedTray 2.1.0 changelog highlights: Displays your current Wi-Fi network (SSID) and Wi-Fi band (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz / 6 GHz) directly on the taskbar. Three display modes for Wi-Fi band: Always visible, Color-coded, or Alert-only when connected to slower 2.4 GHz. Optional SSID display can be combined with the Wi-Fi band in a single compact indicator. Clear privacy handling explains why Windows requires Location permission to access SSID; no location data is collected, stored, or transmitted. Fixed Windows menu overlap—taskbar context menus, jump lists, and "Safely Remove Hardware" menus now display correctly. Improved multi-monitor support, including displays that have no Windows taskbar. Widget position is preserved across sleep, wake, and monitor configuration changes. Added three new languages: Hebrew, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. First right-to-left (RTL) language support with full Hebrew interface mirroring. Updated Japanese and Korean translations with improved localization. Portable version now updates correctly with guided download, checksum verification, and extraction. Improved spacing next to the system tray, making the hidden icons (∧) button easier to click. Better tray alignment eliminates unnecessary gaps in Cycle mode and single-metric layouts. New overlap warning alerts users if the widget conflicts with the Windows Widgets/Weather button. Settings window scrolling no longer accidentally changes sliders or dropdown controls. Improved secondary monitor positioning prevents the widget from overlapping the taskbar clock. Reduced unnecessary logging, preventing oversized log files on taskbar-less monitor configurations.

Ok...? As mentioned, I guess if it doesn't distract them from more important things then fair enough. I'm just not sure who asked for this, or why they think it's a fun idea. Will other manufacturers start making trading cards for motherboards, RAM, SSDs and the like so that people will start collecting in order to have their ideal rig in card form since they can't physically get it? -

If you can't afford an NVIDIA GPU, try getting one of its new trading cards by Ivan Jenic Image: NVIDIA The hardware market is going wild; users are furious because they can’t afford components, and NVIDIA is releasing… trading cards. The company just announced GeForce Trading Cards Series 1, a free collection of 14 possible card designs celebrating different eras of GeForce history. The set spans nearly three decades of GeForce hardware and culture. Given the set is labelled as "Series 1," NVIDIA probably has more cards in store for the future. Here are some of the most notable designs: NV1: The blueprint GeForce 256: The world's first GPU GeForce 3: The first GPU with Programmable Shaders GeForce 7800 GTX: Full-Throttle Graphics GeForce 10 Series: 10: Gaming Perfected Bubble, Chameleon and Medusa: Classic real-time demos The Way It's Meant To Be Played: A GeForce gaming signature GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Cyberpunk 2077 Edition: Night City goes #RTXON Checklist card: A nod to collector culture NVIDIA will hand these out for free through special events and giveaways. Which still means you can’t just go online and buy a set. One such giveaway is NVIDIA’s upcoming Summer of RTX event. You can find more info about it here. The cards will also be handed out in person, during events such as Bilibili World, QuakeCon, and gamescom. Initial reactions to the release of these cards are mixed. While the cards will certainly find their audience amongst the hardcore gamers and fans of the company, a lot of people are criticizing NVIDIA for giving them merch instead of fixing some of the underlying issues, like bug-ridden drivers and pushing AI further into its products. Make no mistake, as the world’s most valuable company, NVIDIA’s resources are nearly unlimited, so releasing these trading cards has about zero effect on the company’s ability to tackle driver issues or other problems users are complaining about. This is merely a marketing campaign. What would be ironic is if NVIDIA’s trading cards turn out to be popular and develop a market of their own. Even if the cards are handed out for free, not everyone has access to them, which introduces somewhat of an exclusivity element. So, don’t be surprised if the cards start selling online at a certain price in a few years. Imagine if the price of a single card reaches the levels of an actual GPU, just to complete the irony.
