UPDATED ON: 2026-02-04 After the longest-lived branch in Firefox history, Mozilla drops support for Firefox 115 ESR. This information could be observed on their [knowledge base page] or alternatively on [release calendar] . Last Windows 7 x64 compatible build labeled as Firefox v115.33 ESR will be available [here] . Targeted release date: February 24 Tor 13.x will also receive last patch in it’s life-cycle. But we already have hacked 14.

This website is well-known for it’s non-prepaid nature, which reflects my personal real life conclusions without any fear of being unpopular, because of the fact that i’m not sponsored by any organization and i don’t care about people’s opinions. I always counted that cable reviews are just a placebo thing, but now i’ve changed my mind. So, without further ado, let’s get into the reviewing process. ▀ TESTBED Cable was tested on [HiBy R8 II] digital audio player running [Neutron] software.

Both of them are based upon Windows 10 LTSC, so you are backed with updates until 2032! Of course appointed projects are in the active development and have numerous of bugs here and there. I hope that someday they will become fully functional replacements of atrocious Windows 10 user interface. And if i switch to Windows 10 i will surely exploit them, to hide myself from Windows 10 default tastelessness.

Because i just don’t trust snake oil company A&K, which is notorious of selling ultra-high-end devices at astronomical prices without proper confirmation the quality of their products. [fishy behavior during repair services] [stupid restrictions of not being able to install Android applications] not the best convenience and speed of interface [sometimes even buggy] ugly shape design [pretending to be cool, but actually such devices are pain in a butt to hold and operate to] and so on and so on … That is why i choose something different.

Some day, if i have an opportunity i’d like to visit this [audio show] in Singapore. Why Singapore? Because it is the largest expo in terms of represented audio manufacturers in the entire world. I am dreaming to listen to a bunch of devices like: Luxury & Precision P6 Pro Luxury & Precision LP6 / LP6 Ti Lotoo PAW Touch GT2 Cayin N30LE [Mysticraft Hex & Subtonic Storm] Hope that the dream will become true.

In my spare time, I realized I’ve reached a point where I’m ready to create something genuinely useful for end users. Project criteria are clear: It must be free It must be useful for personal use It must be easy to use A free bulletin board struck me as a particularly neat idea—suggested by a friend. In my country, there are many such platforms, but nearly all suffer from issues like:

It just happens that my integrated lan card on X670 motherboard is slowly dying, saying so because sometimes it is disappearing and becomes visible only after a complete computer shutdown, waiting for about 10 minutes and then after restart everything begins to work fine. Issue showcased itself in Windows 7 and Windows 10. Currently i don’t have any spare money to replace motherboard so i went for a cheap solution of purchasing Dlink USB WiFi dongle, but when i installed it i run into a problem of not being able to launch WLAN AutoConfig service [Wlansvc], which is responsible for WiFi connections.

UPDATED ON: 2026-01-19 Aside from Windows 7 obsession i have another passion called high quality portable audio, especially IEMs. Here is a couple of recent awesome findings with outrageous prices, i’ll surely bought them if i was a millionaire. [MYSTICRAFT HEX] ► 13 drivers first Hex-brid IEM [DD + BCD + BA + Planar + EST + Piezzo] ~9000 USD [SUBTONIC STORM] ► 9 driver IEM [7BA + 2EST] ~5200 USD

UPDATED ON: 2026-01-21 Ok, it looks like we have reached the official end of this wonderful operating system by Microsoft. Don’t beat me to hard on this, but the system undoubtedly has something special about it, offering cozy convenience reminiscent of late 2010s. Here is a link to the final official patch at microsoft [security bulletin database] . Seems like [Ghacks] is not providing windows updates needs anymore. This is certainly not the end, because the Windows 7 community and dedicated enthusiasts will not allow Windows 7 to fade away so easily, at least not within the next five years or so.

No jibber-jabber here, just watch the review. In my opinion worn effect looks pretty cool and this should be noted by keyboard manufactures for sure. I am not even saying anything about form factor of the keycaps, because there are obviously groovy and have some charisma.

Previously it can be done by means of [SAI application] . MIUI optimizations should be turned off in the Developer settings, but with new autocratic and restrictive Android versions > 15 it just disappeared. Luckily we have a nice workaround. Developer options should be turned on. At the very bottom there should be a section called Autofill. Tap multiple times on setting Reset to default values. Turn off system optimization.

During ChatGPT investigations i find out that my DAP [Hiby R8 II] can be described as 88% of one of the most quality audio board on PC: [RME ADI-2 DAC FS] . [Empire Ears Raven] scored around 90% of [Sennheiser Orpheus HE-1] top of the crop electrostatic hi-end earphones. Not a bad result for portable devices considering substantial difference in the price and size! I totally understand that it is a synthetic comparison, but at least now i have understanding approximate audio quality of my setup versus top-notch professional hardware.

Ok, it’s been a while since i’ve dropped F bombs at you. So, i am happy to announce that this is an F-bombs day. Let’s get to it. And yeah, before we begin: to be honest, I’m not keen on writing denunciations, but life has pushed me into doing so. This guide is crafted to ensure that others avoid falling into similar pitfalls in the future. In my country, there are numerous programming and web development courses available [here] , [here] and [here] .

If you don’t like the flicker of Robotron greenish displays on the page, you can read article in [plain txt file] INTRODUCTION: WHO THE HELL YOU ARE TO JUDGE LIKE THAT? Here we`ll dive into IT industry and what is happening in it recently and we`ll surely dot the i`s and cross the t`s in this not-so-brief note and close questions related to this department ones and for all. My computer knowledge starts from MSDOS 5.

It’s [been a while] since we talked about browser benchmarks in Windows 7 environment. And I definitely feel that it is a right thing and time to make another shot. In the modern WWW most of the people are interested in raw JavaScript performance, so we’ll check it out in this blip comparison. And close question once and for all. So, without further ado let’s get started right away.

UPDATED ON: 2025-11-28 Dangerous Dave is a small demonstration of JavaScript capabilities. Control Dangerous Dave in wacky space riding green glowing blob by means of: [▲] [▼] [◄] [►] arrow keys for movement [Spacebar] for laser shot [F8] to turn on/off orbiting planets [Enter] to become as cool as Duke Nukem ▀ FEATURES no heavy frameworks and dependencies, just pure JavaScript compact size, less than 500Kb including graphics and audio tiny core only 35Kb!

Ok then, back to the main topic of this website. [Dinning menu] for restaurants has matured and transformed into something more serious. Here are some fresh screens from the development fields featuring improved GUI and overall ergonomics with dark/light theme and custom cursor. Currently there is no any github repo because i work on the project locally. Maybe in the upcoming future i will share the source code online.

Let’s quickly compare results from the most popular AI chatbots to estimate approximate real life picture. I think that weighted average would do the thing here. OS / AI GROK GPT AVG Windows XP 1 1-5 2.5 Windows 7.0 2 5-40 12 Windows 8.0 10 6-45 18 Windows 8.1 15 8-50 22 windows 10 62 20-70 54 windows 11 126 25-80 90 I believe that in case of windows 10/11 most of telemetry are hardcoded into the system core and you can do nothing about it, even if you remove most of telemetry and logging services at least half of applications that “dial-back” to third parties will still be present in the system.

UPDATED ON: 2025-11-25 In previous posts, I have highlighted how nasty windows 10 is, and no surprises here, windows 11 proves to be an even greater distraction. Actually in many areas, performance, ergonomics, logic, you name it. It’s no secret that windows 11 performs atrociously bad on generic SSDs and demands speedy NVMe storage instead. Thanks goes out to a mixture of low quality code and code produced by vibe pseudo-coders.

Note that this is ALPHA, test it in VM please, drop your suggestions at [Github] ! Windows 7 Premium Assurance is coming to an end in January 2026, so i’m considering Windows 8.1 migration. That is why i have decided to make an ultimate debloating script for Windows 8.1, which will be supported until October 2026. Ok, some preface words to clean things up a bit. I’ve done this configuration for my personal specific needs.

This is a solution for Webpack-based project which use PUG markup instead of conventional HTML. To save setting we are using LocalStorage and Cookies. MARKUP li .option-wrapper input#customCursorToggle(type="checkbox", name="customCursorToggle") span.label-text On/off custom cursor support CSS/SCSS Take a note that you have to tune styles by yourself to match your project requirements. Moreover, CSS styles for toggler are not included! html.normal-cursor, html.normal-cursor * { cursor: auto !important; } html.normal-cursor a, html.

Drawing on my past experience with [DOS batch scripting] , I’ve decided to streamline my workflow by cutting out tedious, repetitive file operations. Even though I’m using the lightning-fast [Far Manager] , it’s still not quite quick enough and frankly, file operations demands way too many keystrokes. This becomes especially irksome now that I’m juggling three projects at once. Taking them from home to work or vice versa. All that routine file shuffling eats up a sizeable chunk of my day.

UPDATED ON: 2025-10-22 Windows 8.1 has matured significantly over the years and can be seen as a natural continuation of the Windows 7 legacy. It strikes a balance between modern features and modest system requirements making it notably lighter than Windows 10. Key advantages and features include: Better multi core/thread support, comparing to older Windows 7 [due to more modern kernel and upgraded handling algorithms] Availability of hacked modern [2024] drivers for GeForce 3090Ti [click #1] | [click #2] [despite official hard block and claims that there is no drivers for Windows 8.

Joy can’t last for ever and Windows 7 support is dropped officially. You can download latest version [HERE] . But miraculous tool like [VxKex Next] will aid us in our pursuit of achieving the holy grail on Windows 7. [Relevant forum thread]

UPDATED ON: 2025-11-01 Some updates from the development fields. ▀ INTRO RANT Just want to take a break from mindlessly trimming trailing spaces and fixing indentation “issues” in my “learning” projects at overpriced online courses. If i have spare time i’ll surely drop that neat story on you, where i share lessons learned about reality of web development and avoiding costly mistakes when it comes to paid education (or in reality: self-learning).

The recent [significant surge phenomenon] in Windows 7’s popularity seems to be directly linked to following key factors: the termination of mainstream support for Windows 10 [which has driven users away from upgrading further] the widespread dissatisfaction many users have expressed regarding Windows 11 [a substantial number of users are clearly opting against Windows 11 due to its intrusive telemetry services and vague interface innovations] As a result, these users have flocked back to Windows 7, viewing on it as a stable, time-tested alternative free from constant irksome updates and excessive data collection practices.
