No this program currently does not use any API because I use the WritePrivateProfileString in Visual Basic and it did not work so good in Windows 9x. I will see about the open source thing, because I dont like it when i put stuff on PlanetSourceCode, only to find my exact program in a few days, evn with the same comments sometimes :D .

Here's something I did in Delphi.

It took me several hours to make it and I have no experience in Delphi.

It just adds or removes some stuff from the registry so it's very basic but it shows that you can make a simple program without that much programming knowledge. It also makes use of XPs visual styles

    • For anyone looking for a lightweight formatting-free text editor, I recommend Notepad3.
    • This looks really dumb, especially if it costs $100+. Noone who cares about using a flight yoke would touch that thing, people who don't care are probably fine using the analog sticks on their controller, so who is it for?
    • A) "they shouldn't be making money off of those [free videos]"?? That is literally their business model, making money off videos that users post...if you don't feel like that should be allowed, then are you saying YouTube shouldn't exist. B) Yes, the example I gave is a net-negative transaction. If YouTube makes money from others who are following their rules, it doesn't change the fact that the person using an ad-blocker is costing them money. C) YouTube has always operated at a loss...kind of invalidates your entire argument. As I always say, I don't care what you do, I will not even say you are wrong for doing it. That is purely your choice. Just be honest enough to say something like "Google is rich, I honestly don't care." Perfectly fine reason. Don't act like there is some imagined justification for why it isn't breaking the rules.
    • You can now present content from your camera feed in Google Meet by David Uzondu Google has a new feature rolling out for Google Meet that lets you directly present video from an external camera feed right into your meetings. This means if you have a document camera for showing physical papers, a dedicated external camera for a better angle, or even output from a video production tool, you can now pipe that into Meet as a presentation source. This new option supports video up to 1080p at 30FPS. This "present from camera" function offers a more integrated way to handle certain video inputs compared to some existing workarounds. For instance, it might prove less complicated than a setup with OBS Studio where you arrange your various video sources into scenes, activate the virtual camera output, and then navigate Google Meet's settings to specifically choose "OBS Virtual Camera" as your video input before you can even start presenting that customized feed. Alongside this camera presentation feature, Google's announcement also mentioned several improvements to the general screen sharing experience in Meet. Initiating any type of screen share is faster now, and video quality during screen sharing has also been sharpened, with better handling of dynamic content like scrolling text or embedded videos. To reduce interruptions, if a second presenter stops sharing their screen, any previous presentation will now automatically resume. For those wondering when they can get their hands on this, the rollout for the camera presentation feature and these screen sharing enhancements has begun for Rapid Release domains. Users on Scheduled Release domains will start seeing it from June 11, 2025. Google notes that it could take up to 15 days for these features to be visible to all eligible users. Most Google Workspace accounts, including Business Standard and Plus, various Enterprise and Education tiers, and Workspace Individual subscribers, will have access. This new presentation option joins other recent Google Workspace enhancements. For instance, Gemini in Google Drive can now summarize changes to your files, offering a quick way to get updated on what you missed in documents since you last opened them.
