THE VERY BEST FALLOUT-LIKE GAMES

Previoulsy i already mentioned [some Fallout related stuff] . But today i’ve decided to rework post in a more comprehensive way, just to be sure that i squeezed all possible information from Fallout universe. FALLOUT GAMES Fallout games list in chronological order. Only classic Fallout games, no modern stuff. [FALLOUT: NEVADA] [2015] ◄ Prequel to Fallout 1. Very large and quality game with complete new storyline, adds some new mechanics.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR ▀ STOP WATCHING PUTRID TV ONCE AND FOR ALL

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR ▀ STOP WATCHING PUTRID TV ONCE AND FOR ALL

First of all it is bad for health. Secondly, it cuts the way to alternative thinking. Thirdly, they broadcast shite. And last [but not least], because i said so. Moreover i’d recommend to sell TV OR THROW IT AWAY IN A WINDOW. Who needs that crap? You really want to watch? * loads of ads * propaganda * brainwashing * completely distant from real life "news" * violence STOP DOIN' IT RIGHT AWAY!
SHARP AQUOS R7 [2022] VS NOKIA PUREVIEW 808 [2012]

SHARP AQUOS R7 [2022] VS NOKIA PUREVIEW 808 [2012]

Updated on 2022.12.24! 100% crops of landscape image added. CURRENTLY TEST IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE VIEW! IMAGE WIDTH >1600px IS RECOMMENDED! ▒ DIRECT COMPARISON In the very beginning of the test I underline the fact that we are comparing only resolution and not the dynamic range. In this category older FSI sensor is an outsider, for sure. Today’s rival is [Sharp Aquos R7] with 1" sensor. A tad larger than mighty [Nokia Pureview 808] , which comes with 1/1.

BLENDER 3.X WORKS ON WINDOWS 7!

UPDATED ON: 2023-08-01 Latest compatible Blender version 3.6.1 Just a super quick note to refresh previous Blender topic. As you may already know that [Blender 2.93 can work on Windows 7] even despite the fact that it is not officially supported. [Alexandru Naiman] went even deeper and it looks like he made the impossible. Now you can run even the most modern versions of Blender. We are speaking about 3.
SONIM XP8 ▀ ULTIMATE RUGGED SMARTPHONE FOR DARK AGES

SONIM XP8 ▀ ULTIMATE RUGGED SMARTPHONE FOR DARK AGES

Considering the fact that world is going completly mad the most important features for smartphone will be reability, long running time and neat network reception. In such scenario [Sonim XP8] is a perfect phone because it has interchangable battery, strong millitary protection and it is almost indestructible. Device is based around [Android 8.1] , so telemetry is minimal, but nerual networks is already there [in their rudimentary state]. So rooting phone and installing [neat ip-tables firewall] and [root-based hosts adblocker] will solve problem like there was no any.
DELL PRECISION 7510 VS 7520 ▀ PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

DELL PRECISION 7510 VS 7520 ▀ PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

It’s been a while since i’ve posted useless table comparisions. So here is one! Recently i bought second-hand Dell Precision 7520 in very good condition. Purchased it as an emergency backup for future use. Neat laptops will be hard to find in my country due to tech sanctions. 7510 model is based around Sky Lake architecture [E3-1545Mv5] . 7520 model is based around Kaby Lake architecture [E3-1535Mv6] . Differences between E3-1545Mv5 and E3-1535Mv6 are marginal, but they exist.
0PATCH ▀ TWO ADDITIONAL YEARS OF WINDOWS 7 SECURITY UPDATES

0PATCH ▀ TWO ADDITIONAL YEARS OF WINDOWS 7 SECURITY UPDATES

If [rumoured] additional three years of Windows 7 support won’t happen than we have an alternative solution. Usually i don’t advertise non-free services, but this one is an exception. [0patch] is micro-patching service, which fix problems of Windows 7 in computer RAM on-the-fly rather than changing system files on drive storage. I recommend this one, because i’m going to use it by myself right after ESU updates will come to EOL.
LOST [2004-2010] ▀ SPOILED GEM

LOST [2004-2010] ▀ SPOILED GEM

Scratchy narration makes movie stylish only at the very beginning of the [show] , but heading towards to the end it transforms picture into incoherent overcomplicated mess. Pretty neat plot spoiled by overwhelming amount of flashbacks and useless characters with detailed description of their past lifes.
Scarce amount of backdrop music. Last season should be banned.

CHERNOBYL FROM HBO [2019] ▀ UNSPOILED GEM

It's been a while Finally i'm back I've lost some markdown sources of the blog, so pretty much everything from May 2022 was restored from scratch Hope that this will not happen again [British masterpiece] that shows corruption and stupidness of top-end bureaucrats, repressing KGB actions and lying propaganda statistics. Films also expose true and forgotten heroes of the time. It also features: realistic narration very solid acting atmospheric ambient soundtrack ENTRANCE QUOTE FROM THE FIRST EPISODE
SPARTACUS [2010-2013] ▀ GULP OF FRESH AIR

SPARTACUS [2010-2013] ▀ GULP OF FRESH AIR

After [atrocious Walking Dead] run into [bloody brilliant Spartacus] . Produced by [Sam Raimi] , the same guy who created classic Evil Dead series. Movie brings excellent story line with very solid acting. Ultra atmospheric [soundtrack by Joseph LoDuca] and overall design aestetics are also present. Legendary and ridiculously underrated TV-series, aesthetics of motion picture far exceeds most of TV-series and enters area of quality full-length movie. Spartacus is a real drama, showing what is a “humanity” in a nutshell.

44 THREADS XEON WORKSTATION AND 32 THREADS OPTERON SERVER RETRO BUILDS


As you already know i fed up using [modern Ryzen/Radeon hardware] and decided to go a bit retro. Cheap Chinese clone mobos and second-hand high-performance cpu’s of previous generations induced me to rebuild my workstation and also fool around with Opteron-based server.
Here is [very detailed spreadsheet comparision] of almost all available Chinese x79/x89/x99 boards on the market.

XEON E5-2680V4 14C/28T VS E5-2696V4 22C/44T ▀ WINDOWS 7 PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

UPDATED ON: 2022-08-13 ▒ PREFACE WORDS As you remember, my [previous daily driver was Ryzen 9590x 16c/32t] . After some fun with it I’ve decided to drop it in favor to retro stuff. Intel Xeon CPU based around Broadwell tech: [E5-2696v4 22c/44t] became the chip of the choice. It is OEM version of top of the line [Xeon E5-2699v4] . It is a bit slower, around marginal 3-4%, but costs significantly less than 2699v4.

ICEWEASEL ▀ NEW ALTERNATIVE TO DISMISSED ICECAT

Not long ago [already reviewed] in the past Firefox forks Icecat and [Iceweasel] for some reason went into 404 void due to applied sanctions to Russia.
