💡 Did you know that live chat customer support agents can always see what you type before you send the actual message?
This is made to decrease the response time and for some reason doesn't require explicit consent from the user, and apparently legally doesn't even have to be mentioned. This is so messed up on many levels, but I only learned that yesterday.

🦥 Microsoft slowed down driver installations on Windows 9x
Did you know that Windows 9x distributions contain a hardcoded artificial 8-second delay when the system detects new hardware? During the first 3 seconds, the system displays a generic device name and class ID, and the final 5 seconds are dedicated to showing the device logo and its pretty name if the driver is found.
That's hysterical, but I'm assuming there were benign intentions there — Microsoft probably wanted the user to acquaint themselves with the device that's being installed. Eight whole seconds, though, on the other hand, sound excessive. Maybe they were going for a placebo effect as well, trying to convince the user their computer is doing something.
The delay can be fixed by patching

It's crazy to me people still don't know the Discord screen share limitations are actually client-side, and Nitro is not needed to stream in 4K@60. Patching the client is the solution to HD screen sharing.
I strongly suggest you use Vencord, it's a great custom client.
