Windows Task Manager’s original creator is bringing a new version to Mac first

David W. Plummer, the creator of the original Windows Task Manager, is developing a new tool called Task Manager OG (TMOG) for macOS, aimed at providing a comprehensive system console for users of graphical user interface-based operating systems. TMOG will feature detailed insights into processor frequency, thermal values, resource allocation metrics, in-depth analysis of CPU core activity, and process branching visualization. The macOS version is being developed using Swift and AppKit, while the Windows version will be a pure Win32 application optimized for x86-64 architecture. A beta version for macOS is currently available, with a Windows beta expected soon. TMOG will be free, with a potential "Pro" version planned for additional features. Plummer's previous company, SoftwareOnline, faced legal issues after he left Microsoft, resulting in a settlement that included 0,000 in civil penalties and ,000 in legal fees.

Russian Mobile Carriers Waive Data Fees for State-Backed Max Messenger

Major mobile carriers in Russia, including MTS, MegaFon, Beeline, and T2, have agreed to zero-rate data usage for the domestic Max messenger, effective August 1. This initiative aims to promote the state-approved platform and discourage the use of foreign messaging apps. Subscribers will have free access to voice calls, messaging, file transfers, and other services within the Max app. Since its launch in spring 2025, Max has been integrated into state digital services and mandated to be pre-installed on all smartphones sold in Russia, resulting in nearly 70 million daily active users. This announcement follows EU sanctions against VK, the app's developer, due to allegations of its connections with the Russian FSB and surveillance capabilities, leading to the removal of VK and Max from Apple and Google app stores.
