Windows 11 will improve the taskbar – for those who like to open a lot of applications
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25163 has hit the Early Access channel, testing improvements to the taskbar. Now, when you open a large number of applications, the panel goes into the so-called “overflow mode”, showing a small panel on top.
It is not yet known how many applications need to be disabled to run this mode. It only speaks of a “sufficient number” of programs. At the same time, the extended taskbar interface supports the same features that are on the main one. This is the context menu, double-click actions and more. If the number of applications decreases, then the advanced mode is turned off automatically.
It is not yet known how many applications you need to open in order for it to turn on. It probably depends on the screen resolution, aspect ratio, interface scale and other indicators.
Also, this assembly received a proprietary OneDrive service in the Share menu for fast data upload to the cloud. Other changes worth noting are minor improvements to the Microsoft Store interface. Now it is more convenient to compare prices for different versions of the same game. And added support for the UDP protocol in private networks.
It is not yet reported when these innovations will appear in the release version of the OS.

Android 12L, good protection and decent platform. Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro tablet options appeared
Samsung intends to expand its range of rugged devices with the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro tablet.
The model could have come out with the XCover 6 Pro smartphone, but the company decided to release only the smartphone at first. The tablet is now lit up in the databases of regulators, so it will definitely come out and will definitely be called the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro.
It is known that there will be a version with a 5G modem, and support for Bluetooth 5.2 is also reported. The SoC Snapdragon 778G will serve as the heart, and the tablet will also have 4 GB of RAM and a screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The OS will be Android 12L.

Elon Musk won the lawsuit against Twitter. Now the billionaire will be given data on spam accounts
The court ordered the social network Twitter to transfer to Elon Musk files from the former general manager of spam accounts Kavon Bakpour. It was the bot accounts that became the main cause of the proceedings in court after Musk refused to buy the company because of false data about the number of fake accounts.
A Delaware court has ordered Twitter to collect, examine, and release the Bakepur documents for Musk to review. Thus, the billionaire won in court.
Bakpour himself left the company in April, when the management of Twitter decided to sell the company to Musk. According to the documents, he was one of the “most closely involved” executives who were involved in determining the number of spam accounts.
Earlier, Twitter filed a lawsuit against Musk, because he unilaterally refused to acquire a social network. The management of the network felt that the court could force Mack to change his mind.
At the same time, we note that the founder of Tesla and SpaceX previously said that he was ready to return to the deal on the same terms, but the company needs to select 100 accounts and explain why they can be considered genuine, and not sources of spam.
