UPDATED ON: 2024-12-17 I think the OpenAI company has been doing some controversial things lately. On the one hand, they are certainly bringing us closer to the time when most of the population will be unoccupied, afraid of potentially possible SkyNET. On the other hand, they are a good thing for those people who don’t have many acquaintances or friends to talk to, or for those people who want to talk about any subject without restrictions and limitations.

First things first, here is a list of important applications that can help you neutralize unwanted traces of external storage. [USBDeview] ► Manually remove traces from USB sticks and other external devices [USBOblivion] ► Automatic cleaner that removes every possible trace of inserted external storage [Shellbag Analyzer] ► Remove shellbag keys that contain information about your personal activities like: folder names, paths to folders [including deleted ones]. It is also a good idea to look in the registry to make sure that all traces have been completely removed.

UPDATED ON: 2024-11-14 I just realized that there is no security tests in browser area, only performance related benchmarks. Today we shall fix that small gap with the help of [BrowserAudit] service. ► BROWSER SCORES BROWSER OK+ WARN! CRIT!

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.

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?

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

In this note, I will describe all the settings you need to tweak to get a 100% flicker-free, eye-friendly result on your smartphone. However, some settings are quite extreme and you don’t need to apply all of them, such as the monochrome filter or setting extremely high warm values on the color temperature slider. PWM flickering is a “feature” of most digital displays at relatively low brightness levels that can cause eye strain and headaches.

As you may already know i like: [Black humour] [Zombie comedy slashers] [Beavis & Butt-head ] cartoon Finnish movies [about plain people] Quite strange concoction? But who really cares? Here is a list of more random films, which are worth to watch. From my point of view of course. [Home Alone 1] / [Home Alone 2: Lost In New York] [Terminator 1] / [Terminator 2] [Evil Dead 1] / [Evil Dead 2] / [Evil Dead 3: Army Of Darkness] [Tucker & Dale vs Evil] / [Wild Tales] [Chronos] / [Baraka] / [Samsara] [Office Space] / [Human Traffic] / [It Crowd] / [Idiocracy] [Johnny Mnemonic] / [Nirvana] / [Hackers] / [Speed] [Falling Down] / [Taxi Blues] / [Taxi Driver] [The Shawshank Redemption] Films that i like to watch in not so distant future:

Despite the widespread opinion regarding [Seagal’s] sanity and his tendency to star in a very low budget trash movies i like couple of his flicks. [Hard To Kill] ► one of his fist appearances on the screen, a little bit excessively touching, but pretty neat [Under Siege 1] ► simply the best movie to date [Under Siege 2: Dark Territory] ► not so good as first part, but definitely worth to watch HARD TO KILL UNDER SIEGE 1 UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY SPECIAL CATEGORY:

UPDATED ON: 2024-04-03 Page will be updated in the future, so check back later on Here are some handy online tools and various mandatory links for front end developer.

Despite the fact that current Firefox market share of Windows 7 users is around 13% Mozilla confirms to [drop Windows 7 support in 2024] . Actually i don’t really understand their bold move and why they are dropping Windows 7 and keeping support for example for Android 7.1 which stopped receiving updates more than five years ago. As you may know i’m using Android 8.0 on my websurfer phone and yeah, it is running latest Firefox forks easily.

One more S.T.A.L.K.E.R. posting if you don’t mind. Mods and [modern versions] are nice, but classic [Stalker series] shouldn’t be forgotten too. Here is a list of classic games.
