Google recently announced that it will include AI features in its search engine, such as AI overview and AI mode. However, it seems like AI Overview does not always respond perfectly, and on top of that, it appears before normal search results, so it's no wonder that many users (including me) didn't like this new feature. Luckily there is a very easy fix for this problem, you need to install a chrome extension called Bye Bye, Google AI , and you're done! This extension even allows you to customize what you want, or don't want to see. This extension is currently not avaible on Firefox, but you can search for alternatives.

Have you ever tried to find a solution to the problem of your disks constantly filling up with unnecessary data? In this post, I will show you WinDirStat , a free and open source software that will (most likely) find a solution to this problem, by analyzing the data of used space on your disks. WinDirStat can create a so called "treemap" , where every file on your disk is represented by a colored rectangle. It can be super useful because you can easily find large files that you've long forgotten about and are still taking up storage space. You can download WinDirStat here . It only works on Windows, but you can find alternatives if you have a different OS.

A lot of people don't know, but the default (windows file manager) file search function is very slow compared to other software, and (for me) it can even force windows explorer to restart sometimes when I'm working around with older hard drives, so here is a solution that will fix all of these problems: the search tool called Everything! It can be easily said, that this search tool is more than 10x faster than windows file explorer search. Everything 1.5 Alpha For download, I'd recommend the 1.5 alpha version, because it has dark theme, and other useful features. 1.5 alpha download:  https://www.voidtools.com/everything-1.5a/ Main download page (other versions):  https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/
