it's good even for non audiophiles. using AutoEQ has settings for all kinds of speakers and headphones to make them sound really good, and it can be used to make your mic sound better. Using a bit of equalization in certain games can really boost immersion too.

[@the_0hd251]

Bro danke für die krassen tips

[@teamredstudio7012]

This is only the surface of the iceberg. Also, the "ultimate power plan" doesn't give any extra FPS. The default power plan actually gives more features. Selecting a power plan other than balanced removes the power slider from your battery on the task bar. This power slider can be set to high performance without changing your power plan. Having ultimate power plan enabled is actually worse because if your battery gets low it will continue consuming as much power as it wants. The balanced power plan can go anywhere from the new energy saver to high performance. Unfortunately not super many apps implement energy saver but I believe I saw Google Chrome use it. Also, Windows has a built in equalizer that can apply custom equalisations to all apps.

Ear trumpet isn't needed for Windows 10, there's a window for it natively in Windows. If i remember correctly it's called "Audio Mixer" or something like that

[@aetimes2]

[@asadfarraj]

I already knew everyone of these lol. I guess this video was for new bees. Anyway, I wanna highlight the fact that downloading Instagram or Netflix from the Windows Store is just installing the website as a PWA (through Edge). You can do that directly from within Edge or Chrome. Firefox needs an extension to do that, but once you have it, it is far more customisable. If you remember the Windows 11 ads, they advertised running native android apps, which they have shut down (or are about to shut down) because they only released that in the US and only on ARM PCs and only through the Amazon app store; and unsurprisingly nobody bothered with it. Just wanted to mention it if you remember it but couldn't quite recall what happened to it.

[@MaxKulik]

I think this video was an OKAY overview of "Apps that CAN be installed to Windows". Not really a "Windows App Iceberg" as most of the apps that you mentioned are not first party windows apps. The title of this video led me to believe we were going to be doing a deep-dive of the programs natively installed on Windows. I think you were on the right path with the Windows Power Tools sections and mentioning these as you went. A better title of this video I think would have been "Great Apps for Windows Users" or "Become a Windows Power User". The title was misleading just like how some of the apps you explained are also misleading. You ran so quickly through so many apps that your brief overview of them does not do a great job explaining what they can do. ShareX alone needs an entire video to actually talk about how many amazing tools it really is. Some of these apps were just so grossly under-described. I think a better way to extrapolate from a video like this would to pick out a few of these apps and do a more focused overview of what they can do. For example you could do a "Media Power Tools for Windows" video - taking just ShareX, OBS, and VLC talking about the features these apps can do. Being a System Admin, I find it hard to believe that anyone who needs to know what OBS is, doesn't already know what it is. Also it seems that maybe your understanding of the described tools is lacking since the same list of tools you mentioned can do the same things. For example all three tools (using the same example from before) VLC, OBS, and ShareX all have the ability to record my screen. If you are someone that just needs to capture and occasional screen clipping - you don't need an entire broadcasting system installed on your PC when with a quick shortcut you can do the same with ShareX. The Package Manager section was also so quickly gone over that it missed so many key elements as to WHY something like Chocolatey is so good. For example, your list of downloaded and installed apps can be saved into a script and deployed among multiple PCs you may have or OR use it as a way to quickly download, install, and configure your PC when you have a fresh install Windows or get a new PC. That is one of the MAIN features of this Chocolatey. I do really like the idea of this video but it was not what I was expecting from the title and I think a more focused video would be way better for viewers. As someone who may be new to Windows coming from Mac or maybe looking for ways to improve their workflow - I think this video was too broad, short, and missing key elements to be truly useful to someone.
