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!

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]
.

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!

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.

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.

[Terry Davis]
was an exceptional programmer who created his own programming language, dedicated compiler, boot loader, operating system kernel [TempleOS]
written in language he created, various graphical libraries without relying on external dependencies and borrowing. He can be considered as the father of 3D printing and designed a three-axis milling machine, but due to increasing schizophrenic incidents the project was abandoned.
Toward the end of his life, he became difficult to understand, but was reported to be “always lucid” when the topic of discussion involved computers or other technical matters.
Have you ever been pissed off by loads of junk folders like “Music”, “Pictures”, “Movies”, “DCIM”, “LOST.DIR” on sd-cards and OTG flash drives that are created by Android?
There is no easy way to avoid their creation, because this “feature” is hardcoded into Android core. Of course we can root the phone and hack the system by means of Xposed framework or something similar, but we won’t do it today.
Warning! You are about to enter highly theoretical zone.
This small article is a result of a late night chat with ChatGPT about theoretical and practical limits of performance achievable using conventional lithography, so consider it a first collaborative effort of myself and AI. Also i will try to extrapolate this topic to Windows 7 environment.
If you’re a user of an old operating system, that doesn’t mean you don’t want to have a good system performance.
I am mostly used to my triple screen desktop configuration and was wondering how this idea could be implemented in the laptop realm. The result of my internal discussions was the purchase of two portable 14" screens. They come as a single unit.As for branding it is [KEFEYA 14" S3]
. Despite the rather low price of ~250 dollars for a pair of displays, they have a very good quality.
Most of you have favorite PC audio player of their own, in my case it is [Foobar2000]
. In Android 6 times there was a wonderful software called [Foobar 2000 Controller]
. It was made to control audio player remotely from your smartphone in a convenient way. For some reason i recall it today and decided to record installing process for future use.
Guys from [Hydrogen Audio]
forum helped me out in some questions and pointed me to the right direction.
Despite the fact that i am a complete dummy when it comes to repairing computer boards i like to watch this awesome guy saving legendary machines one by one.
Also, I know that a substantial amount of visitors to this website come here for Amiga related stuff and that was the primary motivation for this post.
Moreover, it turns out that computer repairs are quite meditative and help me to distance myself from real life rave events happening behind my window and keep my brain clean and busy for yellow press “news”.
Not so long ago i stumbled upon a very nice [sadly abandoned] YT channel dedicated to retro hardware. In showcased video author reviewed [Rendition Verite]
, a deeply flawed card which had the distinction of being the first “programmable graphics processor” or GPU for the IBM PC compatible computers. It was also pretty much the only card that could compete with the Voodoo1 when it was released. Also make sure to check [other videos of the channel]
, they are very high-quality in terms of material presentation.
I used to think that the 18.x version was [the last to run on Windows 7]
.
And now I am glad to tell you that enthusiast hackers from Russia made quite a neat and generous thing to backport NodeJS 22 to Windows 7 environment.
Such occurrence was super useful since i was already running into some limitations with [NodeJS 18]
and was thinking about moving my project to the Linux environment.
WE ALL WANTED THAT, DIDN’T WE?
[Tor Browser 14.X]
based upon Firefox 128 ESR is finally hacked to work in Windows 7. Thanks flies out to valorous [Blaukovitch]
!!!! Here is a safe [Mega.nz mirror]
to preserve history as usual.
Also you might be interesed in [original site]
and [Github page]
of the developer.

Just a quick note to point out an interesting fact of computer history. Amd recently announced it’s server beast CPU [Epyc 9965]
. Built in 3nm lithography, it supports 384 threads, a 12-channel memory controller and has a whopping 500W TDP. Windows 7 256 thread barrier is finally broken. As for an Intel, they are definitely can send their technology to the museum.

Brilliant high quality review of a really interesting and compact SCSI card for those of you who want to keep your Amiga up to date.

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.
In the last couple of years I dedicated most of my free time to self-learning the barebones of modern web technology, things like: HTML, CSS, JS, WEBPACK, PUG, various frameworks like Hugo and other web tech trickery. For those of you who are interested, here is my [Github page]
. Who knows where the VScode will take me?
I hope that these technologies will be a nice addition to my knowledge of raster & vector software, which I use as an [active microstocker]
.
Bring your museum 4.7Mhz XT machine up to the performance of an AT 286 machine. In those days, productivity gains were measured in times, not the measly percentage units that currently are common practice in the marketing world today. Adrian has done a very interesting review of such a rare accelerator. Thanks fly out to him, enjoy!

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?
I already marked stand-from-the-crowd [Neo Geo console]
of the early 90s. Now it is time to mention a Japanese computer that is definitely made with love and effort, just look at it’s design!

Yesterday was the last update aimed for Windows 7 POS devices. Comprehensive details can be found at [Ghacks]
.
Windows 7 is an operating system which already outlived Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also i would like to point out some relevant Windows 7 pages
for die-hard fans like myself.
