Somewhere down the line, if I’m still kickin’ and still sticking to my Windows 7 addiction, I’ll try to build the most powerful Windows 7 rig possible. It’ll be based on the latest Ryzen 11950X/12950X or maybe a Threadripper 10995WX/11995WX [or even Epyc], paired with 128GB of dual-channel or 192GB of octa/twelve channel memory, depending on the platform. The system drive will be an [Intel Optane P5810X 400GB] for ultra-fast access to small files, and the main data drive will be something based upon 15Gb/s PCIe 5.

The most insane machine that make the most advanced computer chips ever. Favorite comment on the thread: We literally mastered creating 50,000 mini-supernovas a second just so I can watch this video on the toilet. Humanity has peaked. THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT MACHINE

We have just half a year left before Android turns into a locked-down piece of sh#t. We’ll no longer be allowed to install third-party apps, only those approved by google. It is crystal clear that they want to own your device in every possible sense. I don’t believe in protests because there is one basic rule in life: WHOEVER HAS MORE MONEY AND POWER WILL INEVITABLY WIN Here’s a [link] to some form of resistance against this corporate blasphemy.

However [this event] will completely unaffect advanced users, because they already exploit hacked [v14] and [v15] versions of Tor developed by [Blaukovitch] & [adeii] . Due to stability reasons, currently version 15 comes only in x86 revision. Take a note: version 15 is based around Firefox 140 ESR. Version 14 is based around Firefox 128 ESR and available for both architectures [x86/x64]. So, Windows 7 users are future-proofed again. This is becoming a neat tradition.

I already wrote about magnificent Far Manager [in the past] . It is ridiculously fast orthodox text file manager, which can deliver Linux-like experience to your Windows 7 machine. Version 3.x is way more advanced than Linux’s [Midnight Commander] . Since i spent quite much time in appointed file manager and even caught myself couple of times doing coding works right in the internal editor instead of VS Code… And then i thought: “why don’t i make my spending time in the environment more pleasant for my eye”.

Tired of the penetration of the low quality AI authorization slope code, tired of constant resistance and being forced to research and develop diverse circumvent techniques for various ISP’s that are trying to lower my horizons in the internet landscape, i come to a conclusion that it looks like i definitely need to change the picture outside my life window or have to make a break, just to let the steam off and comprehend my desires on a larger scale of things.

Just bringing final touches to search functionality. The most important things that were done: improved ergonomics of [search function] on the years library page clicking/tapping outside of the search input clears current search query, pressing ESC do the same thing added modern buttery smooth animations to search operations [yep, we can do this without any frameworks!] TECHNOLOGY STACK: GO, JAVASCRIPT, CSS, MARKDOWN, HTML

░▒▓█ A self-done drawing █▓▒░ Ok, so it’s Friday the 13th. I don’t like the number for sure, but I like the day of the week. We finally made another one, so congratulations to all of you who are reading this! Today’s topic is a modern hardware like CPUs, NVME drives, or whatever for Windows 7 users. Of course, we’re talking here about AMD stuff, processors that have real cores, not mobile ones.

I have a gut feeling that i might need some spare time in the future for my other endeavors, so while i have a small free time frame window i’ve decided to finish the long-ongoing fixer-upper works that were in a current job queue forever. List of things that were completed during this development jam session [from the most important to the least important]. settings to [clear cookies and localStorage] have been implemented [check right hand side vintage computer on the main menu] brought some CSS adaptation for the mobile devices for the search field fixed scroll to bottom elements, now they are doing what they have to do [a href="#bottom"] fixed layout weirdness on the couple of template pages fixed some small frontend glitches here and there Ah and almost forgot i’ve minimized CSS configuration for even better performance.

Being overwhelmed with all this junk authorization code from my colleague [that bone-headed vibe coder], I decided to do somethin’ useful and finish that long-requested chronological library of posts, feature was requested multiple times in a row, so i don’t have right to just ignore my readers. So, here you go, the website is now neat and more convenient to use, and we’re on the cutting edge of ergonomics compared to generic, so-called “modern”, bleak template websites.

UPDATED ON: 2026-02-04 Due to complains of site users i’ve restored native scrollbar for Firefox browsers, looks quite ugly, but at least i’ve brought back default accessibility to the page. RSS feed was implemented by the request of a reader. Besides this i thought that actually it would be a period correct feature, especially considering website primary aspect and decided to incorporate it to the website. Currently feed is in a beta state, so bugs can occur and i am not responsible to any damage.

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.

UPDATED ON: 2026-02-21 [Добавлен русский отзыв] 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.

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 ARE YOU 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.
