What’s the best YouTube video summarizer right now?
Hey folks — I’m drowning in long vids and need something that can spit out solid summaries (key points + timestamps) without me watching 2 hours every time. Ideally it should work from the URL, handle videos with or without captions, and not cost a fortune. What are you using that actually works? Bonus points if it supports chapter-aware summaries, exports (TXT/Markdown), and lets me choose length (TL;DR vs detailed). I’m on Windows + Chrome, open to extensions, web apps, or CLI tools. Real-world recs only, please!Setting Up Windows 11 for the First Time 15 Things You Should Do

How to force Windows 11 to reuse the former Recovery Partition?
Before migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 I had decrypted my BitLocker-encrypted C:-partition - just to be on the safe side if anything goes wrong during the migration. Now, after the successful migration to Windows 11 I wanted to re-encrypt that partition. When I started BitLocker it explained that it would first need to create a recovery partition. When I clicked OK it declared it would now first shrink my C:-drive to create space for that partition and then create a new recovery environment on it. However, I already do have a recovery partition at the end of my current system drive (at least it is labeled as Recovery Partition, its size is 1000MB/1GB). Why does Windows 11 try create me yet another recovery partiation and does not reuse that existing one? I don't want end up having two recovery partitions one of which is useless. Would I first have to delete that existing recovery partition, then add it to the (i.e. grow the existing) C:-drive partition such that this process can then shrink it again in order to recreate a new recovery partition? Is there no shortcut to force this process to simply re-use the existing recovery partition?
Fingerprint Login No Longer Working
Login with Fingerprint is no longer working after the latest Windows 11, 25H2 update. It recognizes my fingerprint but immediately says "your pin is required to sign in". I have removed my fingerprint and PIN, restarted the computer, re-added the PIN and fingerprint, but continue to experience the same issue. The issue started after the most recent round of updates. KB5066835, KB5066128, and KB5068331 were installed. I removed KB5066835 and the functionality returned to normal. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Problem connecting 2 monitors to my laptop
Hi guys, for my laptop ASUS VivoBook with Windows 11, I purchased two MSI monitors. I'm having trouble extending the display to both of them. Only one monitor works. Here my setup: Monitor 1: direct HDMI cable. Connection is made via an HDMI cable from Monitor 1 to my laptop Monitor 2: since no more HDMI entries are available, I'm using an HDMI to USB adapter. This officially supports Windows 11. When I identity the monitors, only the one directly linked is correclty available. The other one is off. To troubleshoot monitors and setup, I switch monitors and connection with all possible combinations: no matter what, only one monitor, that one which is correctly linked is available. Do you have any ideasWindows 11 CPU非対応を回避する方法ってありますか？
こんにちは。 最近、古いPCにWindows 11を入れようとしてるんですが、「このPCはCPUが非対応です」って出てインストールが止まっちゃいます。 ネットでレジストリをいじるとか、ISOを編集するとか色々見たんですけど、正直どれが安全で確実なのか分かりません…。 できればクリーンインストールじゃなく、Windows 10からそのままアップグレードしたいです。 実際にWindows 11 CPU非対応を回避する方法を試した方いませんか？ どの方法が一番簡単で、トラブル少ないか教えてもらえると助かります。 環境：i7-7700K / 16GB RAM / SSD 512GB よろしくお願いします！Notepad misbehaves
I have English India for my desktop PC as keyboard. On clicking 'Ctr+Alt+4' I can type the Indian Rupee symbol '₹'. It works very well everywhere except on Notepad where the action simply enlarges the line in size., and the symbol ₹ never got typed. Later I found out that 'ctr+alt+3 enlarges the letters further, and on the other side ctr+alt+5 reduces the size of the letters. Please advise me as to how to rectify this issue.
