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.

I don’t quite understand why people are using horizontal top [MacOS] or horizontal bottom [Windows] taskbars and not vertical one. Most of us are exploiting 16:9, 16:10 or even 21:9 displays. So basic logic confirms that we have more pixels in horizontal plane and less in vertical. So it’s better to save vertical space [pixels], but not horizontal ones. GUI of complex programs like to “eat” vertical space soooo much.

To check system hard drive and fix errors: chkdsk c: /f To check system hard drive, fix errors, locate and mark bad sectors: chkdsk c: /r Very basic command to check integrity of system files: sfc /scannow If sfc can’t help you try DISM. Check system health for any corruption presence: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Check system health for store corruption presence: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Finally, repair command:

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: 2022-05-17 Added latest AIDA64 FPU benchmark to show supremacy over 12900K 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. UPDATED ON: 2021-08-19 Added some benchmarks for more clearness. Internet is swarming with [amateurish articles about “incompatibility”] of modern hardware with legacy Windows 7 operating system.

Just want to make a super quick note on neat browsers for legacy operating systems. There is not so much choice for such vintage OS these days. There are two of last Mohicans. K-Meleon & MyPal.     K-Meleon is way more lightweight and will be good for slow puters. There is even a Windows 98 version. While MyPal will bring up more modern web compatibility, but of course it is tad slower than K-Meleon.

2022-12-05 Fixed some errors and added misc info 2021-12-08 Final cleanup, brought some glitter to the post 2021-08-14 Fixed errors, added some additional stuff.

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.
