A little breakdown of things you should know on how effectively use your storage sub-systems. I’m describing procedure for future me, because i can forget all these marvelous bits of information in a while. Remember, i am dumb [sometimes, sort of].
Operating system, temp folder, swap file, repositories and databases all go to OPTANE drive [PCIe4 minimum] If you have loads of RAM like 64Gb or more drop RAM disk managers they introduce undesired latencies Experiments showed that SWAP file should be FIXED and not less than 16Gb Big multimedia data assets like applications, games, videos go to fast NVMEs like WD SN8100 [PCIe5 minimum] Disable f#cking hybernation and fast startup: powercfg /h off Turn off power savings in windows control panel PCI Express -> Link State Power Manager -> OFF Set High performance mode in windows control panel Disable ASPM in BIOS ASPM -> OFF Drop me a line if i’ve missed somethin'
CORE METHODOLOGY OF IEM TESTING Aim of this methodology is to deliver simple comparison rate for the most people without diving into the complex graphs and diagrams. Take a note that your experience may vary since you have differently shaped ears and not the same hearing spectrum!
But despite all appointed facts this review could still be helpful by highlighting hidden things not visible to the online customer.

Ok, it is Monday for God’s sake and you need to kick-start your lazy ass. Here is a list of not so popular, but surely working time-tested facts, that may help you to shape yourself in the future.
talk less, do more [quite obvious, but not for everyone] expectation leads to disappointment assumption leads to fuck-up anxiety leads to stress, don’t do this! permanent hobby leads to consistency following trends leads to destruction of the personality politics discussions fog the mind and it’s totally useless [this is hideously important] love is a chemical reaction [i’m still not sure about that] Stay safe, be yourself, don’t do dumb things [although if they are done on purpose then it’s safe]
UPDATED ON: 2026-09-23 Brought neat index, removed some duplications, reorganized the structure a bit.
Please look through guide full from the top to the bottom before beginning to do anything. Beware! This guide is intended for experienced users and not half-baked newbies. Additionally, for optimal convenience and ergonomics, I advise following this guide on a desktop or laptop rather than mobile phone.
I do not recommend to use Xiaomi bloat devices, in terms of annoyances and various limitations they almost reached Apple.
Continuing a series of posts describing flaws of [programs]
and [operating systems]
. Count this as another rant regarding modern computer technologies and where they are heading. If previously I was annoyed only by modern Windows and Android operating systems, I recently found out that Linux can be a total disaster too. But first things first: most of you already know that Xiaomi’s modern version [HyperOS] of stock Android is a pure atrocity.
Here is the list of the most interesting YT videos related to overclocking of classic computer architectures.

, of course it is LN2 based cooling solution.
Reference can accessed from the [advanced settings]
of the website, just click on the vintage computer in the main menu and then see below AUDIO HARDWARE section. Mobile template doesn’t have graphical representation of computer, but you can access settings by typing in the address bar.

.
I would like to inform you that this is the very final update for mentioned articles. They won’t be updated anymore, so you are on your own from here. There is nothing to update, almost nobody don’t give a sh#t about mighty Seven anymore, maybe except me and some vintage nerds.
Anyways, at least you have the right direction for a neat software to use to.

As for me, i am still running Windows 7 on my Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen5.
One of my [previous notes]
regarding modern web trends clearly resonated in your email replies, so I’ve decided to drop an even more pressing topic on you.
Struggling to find a solid job in IT? Read on for a comprehensive list of the main reasons why. So, you’re on the IT job market and you can’t find a solid role; well, that’s just par for the course in 2026. Naturally, we’re taking it as read that you have genuine skills and can actually do what you’ve listed on your CV.
Previously i had similar topic [back in the past]
. Here is a fresh addition to that list:
constant resetting of user custom settings after ordinary system update annoying not removable notifications reporting me about unneeded shit interfering with working user area, [they just block your taps and forcing to wait until they disappear] The last incremental Android 16 update heated up my Xiaomi 15 Ultra to 50 degrees celsius do not forget to [turn-off your updates]

1] ALTERNATE OPTANE DRIVER
Although Microsoft provides stock NVME driver in a certain update, it has some bugs and annoyances, which of course should eliminated. [Heavily modified driver]
from Win-Raid member Fernando version 3.0.0.1013. It fixes various bugs and glitches, like phantom duplications of enterprise Optane P5800x drive in the device manager and provides some boost in terms of performance and latency.
To install modified drivers you should update not the driver of an Optane device, but the driver of NVME storage controller.
UPDATED ON: 2026-05-15
I have implemented special mode for low spec computers. Now, there is an 8-bit lo-fi switch in the header targeted to improve speed on potato puters. Mode disables all visual niceties in favor of better performance.
Breakdown of what is disabled on the website:
all animations all transitions all box-shadows various filters custom scrollbar audio effects right info flyout Hotkey: [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[8]
Now switch is visible and affects mobile devices.
The ultimate goal of this note is to build a configuration that pushes Windows 7 hardware capabilities to their absolute limit. In terms of CPU threads, RAM capacity and speed, random 4K access times for system storage, simply put, the ultimate system in every regard. Currently, I’m still weighing my options: Ryzen or Threadripper? There’s a chance I’ll go with a Threadripper/Epyc setup just to see how Windows 7 handles 256 threads of pure madness.
Note: This document covers the installation procedure only, it does not include network configuration.
First, download the specific version of X-Ray that is compatible with Windows 7 Second, since the V2RayN client has dropped Windows 7 support, you may encounter compatibility warnings. You need to identify which version retains the latest features while still running on Windows 7. I have already done this research for you, so you don’t have to explore the wilderness.
Previous software list dedicated specifically to [Android 8]
.
I decided not to touch the previous app list to keep the chronology intact. This will be a modern list, specifically related to Android 16. I’m forced to use the stock version of Android because I need a decent camera phone like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. I can’t install non-stock firmware, as it would break the camera functionality, which is mandatory for me.
Just bringing final touches to search functionality. The most important things that were done:
improved ergonomics of [search function]
on the years library page clicking/tapping outside of the search input clears current search query, pressing ESC do the same thing added modern buttery smooth animations to search operations [yep, we can do this without any frameworks!] TECHNOLOGY STACK: GO, JAVASCRIPT, CSS, MARKDOWN, HTML
Back in time i was fond of [Jet’n’Guns game series]
and i decided to find something similar and solid. Because i just can’t stand gameplay disbalance, repetition and greed of Sky Force Reloaded. Here is a quick list of shoot-em-up games which might be enjoyable to play.
BLACK PARADOX [BLACK PARADOX]
Very curios about it, pleasant pixel graphics, spiced up with retrowave soundtrack. FLYING TANK [FLYING TANK]
Looks like a stylish obscure trinket, but you know that i like obscurity.

The beauty of this game is that it doesn’t require an insane hardware configuration. All you need is a decent Core Duo CPU from 2013, 512 MB of RAM, 800x600 resolution screen and most importantly a modern SSD to eliminate loading times. That’s it. Almost any computer meets such requirements these days.

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.

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.

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: 2026-06-27
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 2026 by Ratiborus]
► rearming software, which can activate GPT-based Pro and Enterprise editions [Swiss knife in activation tools]
► 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
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.
