Straight’n’essential advice: do not use google, yahoo, bing, yandex, rambler or mail.ru. More trust goes out to [DuckDuckGo]
. However, even they have not so good reputation if we look into the past dealings with Yahoo.
Use [StartPage]
if you want to get results similar to google, but beware that they are not exactly the same. Startpage removes some stuff and adds some of it’s own. In general, it is proxy to google with so-called de-anonymized search queries.

I’m not a big fan of Sony smartphones. Yeah, their products almost always packed with technology, but in terms of engineering ideas and realization things they suck pretty badly. Same point of view regarding their photography division.
But nevertheless I’m using Sony XZ1 Compact as my main portable web gateway on daily basis. Using it due to ultra-compact size and no alternatives available. It’s a 2017 flagship, based upon Snapdragon 835 CPU and paired with 4Gb of RAM.
Some time ago, I had a VERY LONG post with detailed comparisons on ugly blogger.
But after I was banned and totally de-platformed from g services I’ve lost all text material of the article.
Don’t have time to revive all stuff completely.
The best thing, which i can do for you is to share archive with all test materials:
pictures in RAW & jpg formats.
Just a quick note regarding coolness of obsolete cellular protocol. I’m talking about 3G technology.
Recently I find myself in situation when 3G is actually provides greater speed and is way more reliable than modern protocols.
Just a list of items i’m currently seeking for my Windows DOS/98 SE project. It will be primarily focused on simultaneous AGP and ISA availability. Build is almost complete: ETA time -> 1-2 month!
1. CPU: AMD Athlon Barton 3200+
2. Mobo: Epox EP-8KTA3 or Abit KT7A [motherboard should have AGP and ISA buses]
3. RAM: PC133, 3 x 128Mb
4. Video card: ATI Radeon X850XT PE / X850XT / 9800XT or 3DFX Voodoo 5500

UPDATED ON: 2022-05-04 This is the most powerful configuration, which runs Windows 7 without any issues or side effects. Threadripper 3XXX is possible, but micro freezes and stuttering are present, so it is not a viable option for smooth experience.

Internet is swarming with [amateurish articles about “incompatibility”]
of modern hardware with legacy Windows 7 operating system.
UPDATE: 2021-12-08 Updated CameraMod to the latest version, fixed some links.
UPDATE: 2021-08-10 Added links and additional info. Warning some links are missing, please be patient.
Some solid facts about this stunning photo-communication device.
░ WHY NOKIA 808 IS SO COOL Best camera resolution ever: giant sensor 1/1.2", max.resolution: 7728 x 5368pix, ND filter, xenon flash, ability to take pictures up to 41.5Mpix ► [Samsung S20 Ultra]
can’t provide more detail.
Today, I finally fixed my laptop workstation from 2012. Model [Dell M4700]
to be precise.
Replaced old 2.4Ghz Dell 1504 WiFi module and installed brand new 1540 model with 5Ghz support ordered on eBay. Web speedtest shows around 200 Mbit/s. I’m satisfied with the result.
High performance quad-core cpu i7-3740QM (4c/8t) in conjunction with 8Gb of RAM and paired with 2Gb Quadro K1000M workstation video chip can do wonders (of course only within Windows XP abilities).
UPDATED ON: 2023-09-19 Device supports [1Tb Sandisk SD cards]
without any issues!
Many of you already know about this [legendary Symbian-based camera-phone]
.
It has impressive resolution and detail, which can’t be matched by modern camera-phones even in 2021. In this quick note i’d like to show ability of the device to work with large SD cards. Sandisk Extreme 400Gb A2 V30 was selected for testing. To my surprise device handled media without any hassles.
