Native installer has an artificial block to prevent installation on Windows 8.1 machines. Applications like VxKex become more and more useful these days, thanks to the dedicated developers! MegaNZ desktop client [version 6.5.1] works just fine and i’m able to sync my entire cloud drive without underwater hassles. So go get [VxKex-NEXT] to install MegaSync.

I finally fixed the annoying bug where playback would stop right after the first track in the playlist. It was a really hard one to find – I used Claude, but the final lines of code were written by myself. So, enjoy the player, you can even put your own tracker mods into the playlists. [Code @ GitHub] . And, yeah, rewind is finally working too! ░▒▓ [LIVE DEMO] ▓▒░

I just have a blast in the brain and out of blue remembered a couple of applications aimed to add a little bit of fun to your boring plain desktop. The first one is [Desktop Toys] to completely destroy your desktop and the second one is [Ladybug on Desktop] for a more calmer people, just to enrich flat office atmosphere. Note that software is not designed for windows 10/11, but who really cares?

Ok, here is a super fast blip review of the Palit 3050 KalmX 6Gb video card. I decided to purchase this card, just to have a spare on the shelf if for some reason my 3090Ti will freak out in the future. Previously i already wrote about [the most fastest passively cooled GPU] , but now we have a new champion. The upgrade is not huge, but it is worth it in the end of the day.

Previously i have already asked AI about [this kind of thing] . So, as not to make unfounded claims i decided to post some practical data for Windows 7 / Windows 8.1 operating systems. This content is based upon the [information provided] by Dontscythe the member of my Discord channel. CLICK/TAP TO UNFLOD THE LISTINGS!

Here is the list of the most interesting YT videos related to overclocking of classic computer architectures. DX5-133Mhz »» DX5-200Mhz PentiumMMX-300Mhz »» PentiumMMX-420Mhz K6III-450Mhz »» K6III-600Mhz PIII-1200Mhz »» PIII-1900Mhz However, this is more substantial overclock [right up to ~2500Mhz] , of course it is LN2 based cooling solution.

I was never into cars, but what I love about the Need For Speed series is definitely the music. Electronic Art’s Need For Speed series proved to have the best soundtrack out there. Game delivered all possible types of music that car racing game needs. Punchy trance, smooth ambient vibes, groovy guitar alternative with ruff riffs. Towards the end of the 2000s, the quality of the soundtrack began to deteriorate.

I’m well aware that a fair number of my site’s visitors come here for retrowave music recommendations. But today, folks, I’ll be covering something different, albeit related and somewhat connected to the aforementioned genre. We are talking about [vaporwave] . Although this genre fully emerged in the mid-2010s, I only discovered it now. It’s quite striking (even for me) that I’ve stopped following music trends. This genre of music incorporates various characteristics of retrowave, chillout, ambient, dub, and phonk styles.

It’s been a while since i’ve posted something from [Ozric Tentacles] . Here is a couple of gems at your disposal. Don’t even think about listening to them via puny multimedia speakers. Visceral sub bass and subtle synthesizer high frequencies blips are broadly present, so you just won’t hear them at all, and miss most of the action in audio spectrum if you use shitty equipment.

I would like to inform you that this is the very final update for mentioned articles. They won’t be updated anymore, so you are on your own from here. There is nothing to update, almost nobody don’t give a sh#t about mighty Seven anymore, maybe except me and some vintage nerds. Anyways, at least you have the right direction for a neat software to use to. [Trusted Windows 7/8 software] [Trusted Android 8 apps] As for me, i am still running Windows 7 on my Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen5.

DUAL SOCKET MONSTROSITY FROM 1997 Very lengthy and sometimes repetitive but despite of this interesting review, to say the least

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE SYSTEM As for me, i’ll surely put Geforce 980 Ti in that build, for even more madness [but as we all know tastes differ].

As you can observe [here] , Firefox 115 ESR saga continues and Mozilla extending maintenance period again. Moreover, my gut feeling suggest me that it is quite possible that they will extend it even further, say up until September of 2027. And maybe they are targeting 2-3% values in the user-base after which they’ll finally drop the support. Current user base is around 5%, you can observe it at [Firefox public report] .

Link was kindly provided by DragonBreath, the member of my [Discord channel] . I mostly agree on every single part of the video. THE WINDOWS HISTORY UNFOLD ONLY AFTER YOU WATCH THE VIDEO! A COUPLE OF THINGS I DISAGREE WITH Windows 7 is just A and not S? No words! Windows 11 is definitely go to F tier Ubuntu which is shown in the end of the video is full of telemetry like Windows 10/11, so it is a quite bad advice Suggesting [EndeavourOS] instead

The strategy that was outshined by Starcraft and Command & Conqueror. [Total Annihilation] was the first RTS game that introduced true 3d models for units, true physics for a ballistics and realistic vehicle terrain movement. Not to mention things like commander unit mechanics and almost 3d like map [actually map was two dimensional with some smart heights applied]. Two expansion packs were released [The Core Contingency] and [Battle Tactics] .

I prefer the blue case, but the solenoid feature is definitely overkill. BEAM SPRING MECHANICAL B104 MODEL F KEYBOARD

Recently [Notebookcheck] injected malware to their website which is detecting if you are using some-kind of adblocker to make viewing experience more “convenient” and redirects to another scam domain reporting that if don’t turn off adblock you won’t be able to use their website at all. Ok, no problemo, you don’t have to persuade me hard on this, i am just saying bye-bye then. [Ghacks] which i have mentioned in the post header don’t do this, but their “news” converted to just plain undisguised advertisements.

UPDATED ON: 2026-06-16 Today we are closing the topic of S.T.A.L.K.E.R modifications and for the sake of it i have to say something new here. In one of the previous Stalker related posts i [already covered] optimization questions, but recently i’ve stumbled upon very neat Japanese utility [FastCopy] , which is focused on ultra fast copying of the files, especially on modern SSD/NVME drives. That is why I have decided to rewrite the game launch and save backup scripts.

It’s Friday, for God’s sake! It’s been a while since i dropped 80s-like music here. So, let’s pause this techological ranting with some neat synthwave dedicated to all of you. WORLD COMPLETE ■ SYNTHÉTIQUE

Despite having quite a machine [Ryzen 7950X / 64Gb / Optane 5800X / 3090Ti], Stalker is notoriously known to stutter due to it’s old and heavily modified engine with it’s substantional dependence on a single thread performance. Here is a list of tweaks, which i came up during long AI conversations. ■ OGSE_CONFIG.LTX [alife] ai_distance 140 switch_distance 130 objects_per_update 5 max_hear_dist 100 The most important tweaks, that effects NPC processing in a very positive way OGSR is based around OGSE so settings are located in ogse_config.

For the most part, it is a note to myself, because most of the website audience is English speaking people. I highly doubt that i cover Russian segment of the interwebs. [TV show] was dedicated to video game reviews, featuring a highly engaging and witty approach . For a strange [or not so strange] reason some of the series are not accessible from Russian YT, that is why i have decided to stash it in the cloud and preserve media for a future use.

Enough of tekno jibber-jabber for now, let’s listen to the groove, sometimes music tells even more than lots of words. YELLO ■ STARLIGHT SCENE

UPDATED ON: 2026-06-11 I was never a fan of Windows 8, especially the 8.0 operating system. Yes, it is fast, but the overall concept, ergonomics, and looks were quite pathetic. However, since the appearance can easily be changed, I decided to reconsider my opinion. Frankly speaking, I planned to do this around October to match the EOL (End of Life) of Windows Server 2012 R2, hoping that server updates could somehow be ported to the desktop version.

UPDATED ON: 2026-06-04 I will return here somewhere in November to check if the final v26.2.7 is still working Previously, we already did this with [Windows 7 and LibreOffice version 25.8] . And now, it is time to repeat the above-mentioned pattern with LibreOffice 26. Windows 7 cannot handle the 2026 version of the software, no matter how hard I tried. So, in light of my recent transition to Windows 8.

You can run Renoise 3.5.X branch in Windows 7 with the help of [VxKex Next] kernel extensions. For some reason application installer blocks installation in Windows 8.1 environment. However, we can easily unlock this stupid restriction. Of course we can change major and minor versions of the OS requirements via [CFF Explorer] , but luckily there is an easier way to handle such obstacle. We can just unpack installer by means of [InnoExtract] utility.

Note: the track is not available in paramilitary locations. We haven’t heard anything really good from maestro Orbit in a long time, so here it is. Make sure to listen through bass-voiced speakers or neat quality Hi-Fi earphones. WILLIAM ORBIT ▀ THE DIVER FEAT. NATALIE WALKER [2022]

UPDATED ON: 2026-05-26 Finally updated an article with some recent pictures Despite being “this kinda old” I still prefer to stay on the edge of the technical rainbow, so much so that even Gen Z can rarely keep up with my tech cravings. Modern CPUs, GPUs and RAM are already very fast for my workloads. So which part of computer has the most bottleneck currently? In my humble opinion it is the storage media.

If i get around something useful i’ll drop in acquired information here Despite that OGSR has newer 64bit engine and is way better than original 32-bit Stalker, it is quite prone to crashes. This small note is aimed at accumulation of all available methods, which help to improve stability of the game by any means. ESSENTIAL THINGS TO DO reinstall [DirectX9] / reboot reinstall [OpenAL] / reboot reinstall [Visual C++ libraries] / reboot turn off SMT in BIOS or do it by means of [Process Lasso] or assign CPU affinity via Windows task manager [less convenient] let the game use only 4 physical cores, more cores is worse because the game don’t know how to use them IF NOTHING HELPS
