EMULE ▀ VINTAGE P2P NETWORK TO DOWNLOAD OBSCURE OLD STUFF

EMULE ▀ VINTAGE P2P NETWORK TO DOWNLOAD OBSCURE OLD STUFF

Back in a day when torrents were in a non-existing state there was amazing p2p software called Emule. Some vintage computer geeks prefer Emule over torrents even today. Most of users are located in European countries like France, Italy, Spain. Rather unusual software for 2022, but i concur that application can be helpful in retrievement of rare and obsure stuff, which can’t be found anywhere else. Note that official download page is not updated anymore and latest 2021 version can be acquired from [community forum] or Githhub page only.

Just a quick note to share high-quality Android audio player with all of you. Software is developed for hi-res hardware digital audio players like FiiO, Shanling, iBasso. The most important feature is bit-perfect OS independent decoding and audio processing. Speaking about bright sides of application: precise audio reproduction, loads of professional tools. However, there is one notable downside: user interface and ergonomics are very confusing to say the least.

UPDATED ON: 2023-01-24 After long consideration my interest is lost, due to understanding the fact that 4G module is 100% closed blackbox, which cancels all privacy benefits of the phone in one stroke. It’s a true thing for official version of the phone. On the bright side there is an [unofficial open-source project] of modem firmware in early alpha. Will report back if something good happens.

ANYDESK ▀ EXCELLENT AD-FREE REMOTE CONTROL TOOL FOR PERSONAL USE

This is not an AD post, just reporting that i’ve switched from annoying teamviewer for a better remote tool and grateful to developers of software.
