Some really important dates, for those of you who are using Windows 7 as a daily driver machine.
As for me, i’m using Windows 7 not only with oldschool hardware, like [Xeon E5] , but with modern multicore platforms like [Ryzen] & [Threadripper] .

I have pretty strong nostalgia regarding vintage light effects. Vibrant blast of light beams: such scheme was very common during 80s days. I don’t understand why movie industry almost abandoned it in favor of generic non-atmospheric CGI illumination. Just check these light rays out!

To dilute generic routine i’ve decided to show up some random art from my favourite cartoons of the past. Hope that you’ll enjoy and maybe recognize some of them! Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

OK. THIS IS IT. NO TURNING BACK. Yesterday we’ve got [last security update for Windows 7] . There will be no more security patches for Windows 7. At least on generic non-point-of-sales machines. Total of 40 vulnerabilities were fixed. Nice one! Compare it with 64 vulnerabilities on newest windows 11 telemetry gathering platform. Numbers clearly show benefits of mature platform. Easy and [fast update] using Simplix patcher. Oh and yeah, neat news regarding [official support of Secure Boot] .

Deep immersion into 1906. It almost makes you think that you are actually there, very-very close to reality! Moreover it really makes you feel like a time traveler as everyone stop and stare at you. DRASTICALLY REMASTERED FOOTAGE Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

UPDATED ON: 2023-06-29 There are three main configuration files, which are controlling Fallout engine. ddraw.ini ◄ main configuration file f2_res.ini ◄ settings for high resolution patch fallout2.cfg ◄ classic settings file from 90s [preserved for compatibility almost depricated for now] Here i’ll mention the most important setttings, which can come in handy for almost every Fallout player out there. Provided tweaks will be useful not only for essential [Fallout 2 Restoration Project] , but for other Fallout like games like [Nevada] , [Sonora] and [Olympus 2207] .

▒ BRIEF REASONS TO CONSIDER Very neat phone dialer & sms messenger [device supports 3.5G] High quality audio chip High quality stereo audio recording 3.5mm audio jack Detachable battery pack Solid construction Ergonomically cool due to 4" form factor and unusual shape with camera bump No data mining and user tracking due to obsolescence of Symbian ▒ BRIEF PHOTO ARGUMENTS Awesome resolution and detail Unparallel pixel-wise quality Real glass in lens elements is present [not just plastic sh#te like in modern “flagships” [xiaomi 12s ultra] No pubertal compute stuff Xenon flash Very well designed camera application Incredible JPG-engine, which easily competes with modern RAW in terms of provided detail Enthusiast mod, which increase resolution to real 41.

UPDATED ON: 2024-12-26 I will surely return to post to bring update on FINAL version of driver [Canonkong] brings [ANOTHER BIG UPDATE] to the marvellous modern USB3 driver for [Windows 7] . Latest version: 2024-12-14 Supported chipsets: X370, X399, B450, X470, TRX40, A520, B550, PRO565, X570, B560, X670, WRX80 Recommended motherboards: MSI, Gigabyte Not recommended: Asus [works, but with some restrictions] Not working at all: Asrock ► [USB3 DRIVER NON-ASUS] ► [USB3 DRIVER ASUS VERSION] ► [ACPI.

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.

[Steamboy] was the most expensive Japanese anime film up until then with a ¥2.4 billion [$26 million] production budget, having been in production for ten years and utilizing more than 180,000 drawings and 440 CG cuts.

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!

Beyond time, lightweight, private, Japanese, mail client. [DOWNLOAD] For Android i can recommend [K-9 mail] client. Note that everything above v5.916 contains mozilla telemetry. Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

Second in importance after [Akira] . A cyborg policewoman and her partner hunt a mysterious and powerful hacker called the Puppet Master. [IMDB LINK] . OFFICIAL TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

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.

Just for your information: new versions of KeepassXC can be installed on Windows 7 via legacy installer. You can download it [HERE] . Look for Legacy section (64-bit, Windows 7/8/8.1) and you are good to go. PS On Android i’m using [KeepassDX] . Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

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.

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.

UK [TV serie]s , which clearly illustrates current problems of humanity. OFFICIAL TRAILER METALHEAD [ONE OF MY FAVS] Episodes of disappointment [vague story-line, bad directing/acting]: S3e4, S3e5, S3e6, s4e6, s5e1, s5e3 Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

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.

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.

Just plain numbers if somebody care about. WINDOWS MARKETSHARE [STATCOUNTER] Windows 7 dropped below 10% barrier. ANDROID MARKETSHARE [APPBRAIN] Android 8 holds up around 8% of the market. Btw, Android 6 is fully usable till today [2022/11/23]. FIREFOX DISTRIBUTION [FIREFOX] Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik
