Product showcase: PCAPdroid analyzes Android app network activity

PCAPdroid is a free, open-source application for monitoring network traffic on Android devices. Users can capture traffic by accepting a VPN request and can view active and historical connections, detailing the application, protocol, destination address, and connection status. Traffic can be categorized by application, providing information such as installation date, version, and permissions. PCAPdroid offers various dump modes, allowing users to view traffic in real-time or save it as a PCAP file, and enables sharing captures via a local web page or forwarding live traffic to another machine using UDP or TCP. The app can extract information from captured traffic, including DNS requests, TLS server names, and HTTP requests. It also has the capability to decrypt HTTPS/TLS traffic, which requires a setup process involving a helper add-on and a certificate. Successful decryption allows users to view and export previously encrypted traffic, although not all apps support this feature.

De-Enshittify Windows 11: OneDrive ⭐

Microsoft has auto-enabled the OneDrive Folder Backup feature in Windows 11 version 25H2 without notifying users, syncing the Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders automatically. Many users may not want these folders synced due to containing sensitive or large files. Disabling Folder Backup can be cumbersome, as it requires users to decide where to store contents, complicating content management. Unlike previous versions, this feature is activated post-login without user consent. To uninstall OneDrive, users can go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps, locate Microsoft OneDrive, and select "Uninstall." Uninstalling does not delete cloud-stored files, which remain accessible via the OneDrive website or app. Users can prevent OneDrive from enabling Folder Backup during PC setup by acting quickly after the Windows Setup Out of Box Experience (OOBE) and canceling the backup process when prompted. If Folder Backup is already enabled, users can disable it by accessing OneDrive settings and managing backups for the Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders. OneDrive offers only 5 GB of free cloud storage, with additional storage requiring a subscription to Microsoft 365. Users can disable “On this day” memory notifications in OneDrive settings. To move OneDrive to a different disk, users must unlink their account and select a new folder path during re-sign-in.

Miss Windows 10’s movable taskbar? You still can’t relocate it in Windows 11, but new PowerToys feature could be the next best thing

A new menu bar concept is being considered for Windows 11 users, which could serve as an optional dock for the Command Palette within Microsoft's PowerToys suite. This feature aims to provide quick access to favorite tools and essential system-monitoring information. Windows 11 has faced criticism for not allowing the taskbar to be repositioned to the top of the screen, and the proposed top menu bar could offer a workaround. The Command Palette is envisioned as a future replacement for the Run utility, allowing users to launch applications and access utilities seamlessly. The dock could display information such as CPU usage and internet speeds, and users would have customization options for its appearance. While some users are concerned about losing desktop space, PowerToys allows users to choose whether to enable the Command Palette dock. There are suggestions that this dock could evolve into a full taskbar replacement, incorporating Windows 11 taskbar elements as widgets. PowerToys is designed as an add-on rather than a replacement for core Windows functionality. Microsoft is focusing on enhancing Windows 11, with hopes for user-requested features like taskbar repositioning.
