You know that it is already became some kind of sport for me or maybe a “bad practice” obsession. But i just can’t stop doin’ it, anyway, let’s get on with another dirty-hack. The most recent version i found was v22.250 [2024] and i was able to breath life into Vegas 22 no matter what. This guide will be a little less intensive comparing to [LibreOffice investigations] . Here is a comprehensive list of mandatory things to do to make Vegas 22 live even in Windows 7 x64.

UPDATED ON: 2025-08-26 Frankly speaking, initially I considered droping a blip note that looks like this one: [LibreOffice 25.8 Is No Longer Welcoming Windows 7 Users] but then I thought, “What the heck? Why don’t i opt to create something genuinely beneficial for the Windows 7 community instead of “competing” with the dumb vibe pseudo “coders” at my workplace”. To my knowledge it is the first attempt to do such things on the entire Internet.

To save myself from boredom i have decided to start offspring web page dedicated purely to things that have something to do with web development. Some information will be taken from [this website] , some from [Github] . The main reason I’m doing it is to renew the knowledge I’ve acquired and to structure it in my head. And it would be great if some of this stuff came in handy for you.

The first symptom of the infection was the random opening of unrelated websites in a separate window with the target attribute set to “_blank.” Upon further investigation, I discovered that it was a JavaScript file located in the sidebar section. I have no idea how it got there, but I immediately removed it. I checked the website and found that the issue had been resolved. After that, I checked my Windows 7 machine with the latest versions of NOD32 and Kaspersky.

Take a note that not all applications can be removed by means of this non-root method. First, a brief introduction. In the past, I used a rooted Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with all the bloatware disabled. By purchasing a Chinese device, I lost the privilege of using a rooted device. Since modern Android devices are a b#tch to root, and frankly, I don’t want to get involved in that boring process.

I never thought I would write any kind of stuff about Windows 10. People on the Internet suggest to remove or disable certain task in the task scheduler: Microsoft\Windows\international\Synchronize Language Settings But that didn’t work for me. Here’s what made things to run smoothly is tweaking the windows registry a bit. HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDPSvc HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDPUserSvc Change value of Start entry from 4 to 2, or if you have 2 than change it to 4.

Shutting down computer without actually doing something useful is quite lame. So i’ve decided to implement a nice addition in the face of junk removal. @echo off echo Cleaning up temporary files in %TEMP% folder... echo. set "tempfolder=%TEMP%" cd /d "%tempfolder%" :: Delete all files and folders in TEMP (including read-only and hidden) del /q /f /s *.* >nul 2>&1 for /d %%x in (*) do rd /s /q "%%x" >nul 2>&1 echo.

Today i’m not planning any fancy stuff, just a plain USB drive ejector at your disposal. Script ejects all connected flash drives. If drive is in use or some software is locking flash drive it won’t be ejected [obviously]. @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "drivelist=%temp%\usb_drives_list.txt" del "%drivelist%" >nul 2>nul for /f "skip=1 tokens=1" %%D in ('wmic logicaldisk where "drivetype=2" get deviceid') do ( if exist "%%D\" ( echo %%D>>"%drivelist%" ) ) if not exist "%drivelist%" ( echo No flash drives found!

Exploiting my DAP [which is running Android 12] i almost immediately run into a recent novelty of modern Android versions [ >11 ] of taking away permission from not in ROM applications to write to the root of sd-cards. In order to make changes to the SD card, third-party software should request permission to access the SD card’s root folder. However, Android now restricts this by offering to choose a folder other than the root folder [“for the sake of your security”].

Most of Windows 7 users are already familiar with the excellent [VXKex] kernel extension. It allows us to execute loads of artificially “incompatible” applications on time-tested Windows 7 operating system. Frankly speaking, the development of the original version is not so extensive these days. So, i have to provide a more recent fork, called [VXKex Next] , which is currently in very active development. [QUICK DL LINK] That’s all for today’s blip note.

UPDATED ON: 2025-05-06 Today is the lazy monday, so nothing complex at this time. Just a simple backup procedure of copying the appointed folder to a specific place in a 7z archive with a current date name with archive validation upon completion. To make things rollin’ of course you should have 7z software installed on your `puter. @echo off setlocal enableextensions enableddelayeexpansion set "source=C:\Projects" set "dest=E:\Backups" :: splitting %DATE% into MM/DD/YYYY parts, this part was a bitch to implement for /F "tokens=1-3 delims=/.

When doing webdev tasks, I often run into situations where browsers start to glitch due to a stuck cache. Page elements do not being update properly and reload [F5] or even magic [CTRL+F5] does not work at all. Here are two simple batch scripts to hard reset the system cache for Firefox and Chrome based browsers. @echo off taskkill /IM chrome.exe /F >nul 2>&1 || echo Chrome is not running timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\YOUR-PROFILE-NAME\AppData\Local\Supermium\User Data\Default\Code Cache" rmdir /s /q "C:\Users\YOUR-PROFILE-NAME\AppData\Local\Supermium\User Data\Default\Cache" start "" "%ProgramFiles%\Supermium\chrome.

This script collects all MP4 video files located in D:\Videos [including subfolders], that where created or modified today and copies them to all connected flash drives. 3,4,5 flash drives? Software doesn’t care about the number of connected sticks. Before copying it creates two lists in the Temp system folder: matching files and available flash drives. When the copy is complete, it beeps through the speakers via standard WAV and displays the GUI report window.

I use OBS on a daily basis to grab tracker music off the screen, so i am interested in keeping it up-to-date for as long as possible. Previously i [already covered] topic on how to run unsupported version of OBS in Windows 7 environment. But it is already 2025 for God’s sake, and we need some refreshment for sure. Essential information to make this note happen has been spotted on the [Eclipse forums] .

If we’re talking about quick deployments XAMPP is certainly a good thing, but if we want to have complete manual control over things happening under the hood for a more solid and comprehensive approach custom technology bundler is a not so good thing to do. So, in this blip note i will tell you how to glue Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL technologies together. Assuming that PHP 8.4 is installed to:

UPDATED ON: 2025-08-10 Friday has been landed. We are on the edge. The bridge day. The transformation into a blobby-hill-slacker in horizontal reclining posture has begun. I am mentally exhausted from work, self-study and my environment and would like to do something that I am not tired of. Luckily it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything Windows 7-related on these pages. So it is a perfect time to do materialize such desires.

Supporting Windows 7 almost every day for numerous years i have to admit that operating system is getting harder and harder to support, but it is definitely possible and we still don’t have the right to consider it as an obsolete environment. To install latest Electron framework: npm install electron --save-dev If you work in a corporate environment with tightened security, such as a government structure or banking institution, you will almost certainly end up with this error:

PostgreSQL Windows 7 support is a piece of dog sh#t. That is why you almost always have a loads of quirks on the table here and there. Beware that i’ve described Postgre installer in a soft words, it deserves way more. Original installer skips almost all things which should be done by a proper one: it won’t initialize your database it won’t kickstart windows service it won’t setup system environment with correct variables it f#cks up user roles it throws loads of errors in your face like Problem running post-install step.

The most recent version of Hugo framework [v0.144.0.2] was hacked to run in Windows 7 environment. You can obtain it [here] . Now you can enjoy beyond official support. Thanks goes out to ANightly! spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

Previously i was quite satisfied with the [iBasso DX240] / [FiiO FA9] conjunction. But after some evening conversations with [DeepSeek] and [Qwen] , I decided to purchase the [FiiO FA19] . The main problem is that I did not stop there and decided to go completely crazy and dive into the [HiBy R8 II] / [Empire Ears Odin] configuration. Now to the main essence of things. FiiO FA7 has lots of bass and quite lush, mushy mids and trebles.

Recently on [my Discord channel] ANightly dropped [a very interesting Windows 7 link] , related to software patched to work in Windows 7 environment. I will surely add it to appropriate sections of my website: [Windows 7 modern software] and [Windows 7 lifecycle support] . spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

When installing latest drivers for Nvidia videocards in Windows 7 you may encounter error code 52 in the device manager ending up with non-working device. To fix annoying problem in a simple way follow these steps: Download latest driver [v475.14] [Jul 09, 2024] and decompress software by means of [7-zip] Open extracted folder, locate the Display.Driver folder and delete nvlddmkm.sy_ file inside Download [hacked version] ||| [Mega mirror] , and place nvlddmkm.

I thought it would be nice to showcase a video review of such an unusual device for the time. The early 2000s were pretty good too, enjoy! spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

Previously, I already wrote [some posts] about transformations and that was dedicated to Windows 7. With Windows 7 compatibility getting worse by the day, some users have already been forced to at least switch to Windows 10 to keep up with progress. For those of you who can’t stand the atrocious native look of Windows 10, here’s the [Reunion 7] , which is based on Windows 10 LTSC and emulates 99% of the Windows 7 style.

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.

Today we are going to make a deep dive into advanced file management and automation. There are several scenarios for copying files from external storage that are described here. ► COPY SPECIFIC FILE TYPES FROM MULTIPLE FOLDERS ON ANY EXTERNAL DRIVE TO THE LOCAL HARD DRIVE This script will copy ALL JPG FILES from folders TEST1 and TEST2, which are located on any flash-drive to folder 1234 located on local drive C.
