If [rumoured] additional three years of Windows 7 support won’t happen than we have an alternative solution. Usually i don’t advertise non-free services, but this one is an exception. [0patch] is micro-patching service, which fix problems of Windows 7 in computer RAM on-the-fly rather than changing system files on drive storage. I recommend this one, because i’m going to use it by myself right after ESU updates will come to EOL.

Just plain numbers if somebody care about. WINDOWS MARKETSHARE [STATCOUNTER] Windows 7 dropped below 10% barrier. ANDROID MARKETSHARE [APPBRAIN] Android 8 holds up around 8% of the market.

Stop using mainstream operating systems like Windows 11/10/8.1, modern Linux, like Ubuntu or modern MacOS versions. On mobile Android 14/13/12/11/10/9/8.1 are prohibited because they use neural networks to profile your device and dial back to “home” to dump your personal data and preferences. iOS from very beginning was very phony platform. My personal choices are Windows 7 for desktop and Android 8.0 for mobile. These two cover my digital needs fully, no restrictions whatsoever.

Not long ago [already reviewed] in the past Firefox forks Icecat and [Iceweasel] for some reason went into 404 void due to applied sanctions to Russia. So, i was forced to find an alternative way and stumbled upon Chinese builds of [Iceweasel] . Just want to digest this historical fact as a blog post. Imagery by spacedrone808

Since i’ve switched to [fanless GPU] from Nvidia and began to monitor Windows 7 driver related news. So, here is a [link to the latest] to date Windows 7 driver . It’s really neat to hear that Nvidia is not dropping driver support for Windows Classics . Red team from AMD can’t demonstrate such coolness in this category. Lastest GPU drivers for Windows 7 will be available [here] .

Recently [Ghacks.net] reported about almost unreal rumour regarding [another 3 years of extended support for Windows 7] . If news are true, consider this as a gift from above, because i can’t stand windows 10/11 abominations and Linux is just not ready for serious multimedia workstation workloads.

In previous posts i’ve [already mentioned] Andrew Saga’s rants about history of music tracking, but i think that provided info are not covering topic fully. So, here is one more excellent video clip, which i dug up on yt recently. Enjoy! Imagery by spacedrone808

BBS is acronym which stands for [Bulletin board system] . It was a distant ancestor of modern internet. In our days of totally non-private web cultivated by google, facebook and apple and other rotten companies BBS could be a neat solution to people who value their privacy and who don’t want to feed greedy corporations with telemery data of their own. Also tech will be useful for people who would like to hide themselves from modern shitty trends and stupid brainwashing or so-called government propaganda.

Here is my personal collection of best addon tools for Renoise.

Just a quick note just to share the most useful YT tutorials regarding Renoise tracker. [Official Renoise tutorials] ► essential Renoise knowledge [Tutorials from official Renoise guy] ► Achenar [Excellent Renoise tutorials] ► Groovin’in G [Gold mine of Renoise knowledge] ► Brainplace [Very useful tutorials] ► Type-A Music Also i suggest to check [official manuals] on Renoise website. Quick Reference Card [cheatsheet] describing pattern commands. And don’t forget to visit vibrant Renoise [community forum] .

I’m still using trusted [Icecat port by Muslayev] . Problem is that it begin to show it’s age by not rendering some websites in a correct way. After checking [Firefox release roadmap] i find out that 91 ESR branch on which Icecat is based will reach EOL status at the end of the summer. So i’ll need a replacement to keep up with modern web standards. Chrome and original Firefox are not an options because of their telemetry framework and bloated nature.

Have you ever heard about digital audio workstation written in assembly language?
Yeah, that’s [SAW Studio] .
32-bit version can be launched even in “obsolete” Windows XP.
64-bit version released in 2019 is Windows 7 compatible.

UPDATED ON: 2022-05-21 Today i want to share my custom made 80s theme for Renoise tracker. RENOISE `84 [v0.4b] [GRAB IT FROM MEGA.NZ] To install it just double click on downloaded XRNC files. Renoise will launch and install theme automatically. Also, i’ve figured out how to change internal font and set custom mouse cursor. Tracker doesn’t provide GUI for such options. All settings related to current skin could be found here:

There are plenty of digital audio workstation software available today.
Fruity Loops, Apple Logic, Cakewalk….
but what make them so unimportant anymore?

It is pretty strange that i didn’t cover this topic in previous posts. So, i stand corrected and posting it now! @ FIRST: [WHAT IS DEMOSCENE?] In this quick breakdown i’ll point to the most coolest demoscene stuff out there. ▓ IBM PC [DOS/WIN] In early 90s finnish coders from [Future Crew] brought phenomenon of demoscene to masses.

I recommend you to use alternative search engines like [Searx.me] or [Duckduckgo] not because g is mining your data and then resells it to marketing agencies for targeted ads, but because if you say something restricted or will be “lucky” to be banned by their anti-spam bot you can lose access to your data forever. Three years ago i had YT channel with [tracker music] where i posted stuff almost daily, also i had [trackers database] hosted on their blogger platform.

I’m very satisfied that I covered such a large topic and pretty sure that it is the most complete Windows 7 tweaking guide ever.

[DOWNLOAD DOCX VERSION] Maybe, if i have more free time, i’ll return back to the topic to clean things up someday.
