It has been a while since i posted web performance comparisons. So here it is in all it’s useless glory. Performance was measured by [JetStream]
benchmark. Two machines were tested: low-end office computer and powerful workstation.
► Intel i3-3220/16Gb/IntelHD

Just a quick note to point out an interesting fact of computer history. Amd recently announced it’s server beast CPU [Epyc 9965]
. Built in 3nm lithography, it supports 384 threads, a 12-channel memory controller and has a whopping 500W TDP. Windows 7 256 thread barrier is finally broken. As for an Intel, they are definitely can send their technology to the museum.

Brilliant high quality review of a really interesting and compact SCSI card for those of you who want to keep your Amiga up to date.

As a long-term user of Android OS i stacked up the most irksome peculiarities. They have been with us for ages, since version 1.0 to be exact.
messed up separation between internal and external storage, which is not clear to a generic windows user, files are hard to find, applications save data randomly either on internal or external storage, logic pattern is definitely broken here incoherent and unclear notification system, with poor organization of priorities absence of transparent file handling, i am talking about file extension-application matching, there is no convenient tools to manage this task And it looks like google will never fix above mentioned facts.
In the last couple of years I dedicated most of my free time to self-learning the barebones of modern web technology, things like: HTML, CSS, JS, WEBPACK, PUG, various frameworks like Hugo and other web tech trickery. For those of you who are interested, here is my [Github page]
. Who knows where the VScode will take me?
I hope that these technologies will be a nice addition to my knowledge of raster & vector software, which I use as an [active microstocker]
.
Bring your museum 4.7Mhz XT machine up to the performance of an AT 286 machine. In those days, productivity gains were measured in times, not the measly percentage units that currently are common practice in the marketing world today. Adrian has done a very interesting review of such a rare accelerator. Thanks fly out to him, enjoy!

No illusions here, because it is a pretty transparent question and you don’t have to be an overwhelmingly smart person to understand it. Here is a handy list of straight facts about why Linux will always be your secondary operating system and not your primary one:
as of 2024 we have over 600 [!!!] distributions of Linux, just look at [distrowatch]
Why do we need them all? plethora of desktop environments > 50 [if we count only major ones it will be close to 20] As if three variations were not enough?

I already marked stand-from-the-crowd [Neo Geo console]
of the early 90s. Now it is time to mention a Japanese computer that is definitely made with love and effort, just look at it’s design!

You can say what you want, but the fact that the 90s is the golden age of the coolest SciFi is an undeniable fact. Despite its rather simple and somewhat childish plot, [FIFTH ELEMENT]
raises quite important questions about human existence. From a design point of view, I like the fact that the movie mostly shows real decorations, not just soulless computer graphics, which certainly adds analog warmth to the movie.
UPDATED ON: 2024-10-16
If someone doesn’t like this kind of information, I will remove it immediately on first request without any questions. Since we have crossed the EOL line of Windows 7 POS support, I think no one will mind if I post the list of current activators for the Windows 7 operating system.
As far as I know, we have four options to choose from:
[DAZ loader]
► 108% working solution to activate distributions based upon classic MBR partition [KMS by Ratiborus]
► rearming software, which can activate GPT-based Pro and Enterprise editions [KMS rearm script]
► rearming scipt, which can activate GPT-based Pro and Enterprise editions [RemoveWAT]
► legacy GPT compatible activator [not maintained anymore] Also list of activators can be found on [this page]
.
I think that [LOVE, DEATH AND ROBOTS]
is quite overrated. Most of the episodes are true beauties in terms of drawing quality, but the plot leaves much to be desired in most cases.
OFFICIAL TRAILER
Here is a list of the most cool episodes by my standards. So you don’t have to waste your valuable time on obvious junk.
► Season 1
[Three Robots]
► Season 2
[Pop Squad]
[Snow In The Desert]
[All Through the House]
[Life Hutch]
► Season 3
Yesterday was the last update aimed for Windows 7 POS devices. Comprehensive details can be found at [Ghacks]
.
Windows 7 is an operating system which already outlived Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also i would like to point out some relevant Windows 7 pages
for die-hard fans like myself.

As you may already know i am using [Windows 7 as a daily driver even in 2024]
pretty much for everything. I think most of the sofa expert’s conclusions about Windows 7’s obsolescence are [out of touch with reality]
. ACTUAL HARDWARE SETUP:
32-thread modern CPU 64Gb of DDR5 RAM fast NVME drive 24Gb of video memory
WHO NEEDS MORE?
Such hardware specs are achieved by [CanonKong’s modern chipset driver]
.
It looks like we have reached the very last driver for the Nvidia 3XXX series of graphics cards. They promised that the final revision of the driver will see the light of day in late September. As of early October, the latest version of the driver is [v475.14]
, released on July 9. But I have a feeling that Nvidia will release another very final version later on, if this is true I’ll update post accordingly.
iPhone was always highly overrated and overpriced piece of hardware.
I remember ramblings from 2013 times when sellout sites like dpreview stated that iPhone was the best camera-phone ever.
Of course it was a complete lie right until iPhone 15, with it’s decent camera quality, but not in all scenarios of course.
¶ INTRO WORDS Numbers, numbers, numbers … i say NUMBERS!!!!
It’s been a while since i ran into the craze of pointless benchmarks. And now I’m back with the absolute procrastination stuff. Are you happy with this?
Take a note that 3DMark 03, 3DMark 05, 3DMark 06, 3DMark Vantage [2007], 3DMark 2011 and 3DMark 2021 are not marked by ▒ sign, showing the fact that these programs lost the soul of demoscene and just providing comparison numbers, nothing else.
First of all, I’d like to note that this post is not an advertisement and it is not sponsored, I’m just REALLY impressed by software and decided to share this lucky find with all of you.
Actual Window Manager has quite boring and generic naming, but in reality it is highly advanced and modern window manager that offers broad functionality combined with 90’s quality.
Adding this software to your arsenal it’s like entering cheat-code for superpowers.
So you want to do something evil or make a present for the April’s Fool Day to your surrounding. Today we’re going to use the professional keyboard application [FilterKeys Setter]
in its meanest form, will set keyboard filters to skip keystrokes, but only if the person starts typing at a faster rate.
I find out that the easiest way is to set Ignore Under parameter somewhere around 60ms, so it will be not so obvious in the beginning for the end user, that key strokes are skipping.
[HighTreason]
is not that active these days, so i have to find a solid substitute for my retro hardware cravings. And, oh boy, that was not an easy task to complete, i can barely find a solid reviewer among hundreds of sellouts, boring and just plain ignorant vloggers.
But in the end of the day i found him! Yeah, it is [RetroSpector78]
from Belgium. His speciality is producing reviews of obscure and rare pieces of computer hardware [primarily from 80s-90s era] with episodic dives into the software field.
Color profiling in Linux is a rather obscure and unpopular topic, so I decided to cover it on the pages of this website. KDE and other modern heavy desktop environments are often have preinstalled tools to work with color profiles, but in this note we’ll talk about importing of color profiles in my favorite lightweight environment called XFCE. In some Arch-based distributions like Manjaro everything works out-of-the-box, but that is not the case when it comes to EndeavourOS, which I am currently studying to migrate from Windows 7 in upcoming future.
Today I learned I was permanently banned from Reddit’s Windows 7 channel. Here is a [post]
where i to take the liberty of writing my own opinion on the topic.

Dude, malware and telemetry gathering are embedded in official updates. So what?
K4sum1 is doing nice job for the Windows 7 users by compiling modern Firefox called R3dFox.
Decide for yourself afterward whether to use it or not.
