"Windows 7 is not supported by modern Python anymore" The latest official version is [v3.8.15]
. Despite above mentioned dummy statement [Adang1345]
restored justice and brought back support of Windows 7. Hacked Python installers for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 R2 can be downloaded: ► [HERE]

Right after [Windows 7 reached end of life]
in regards to non-pos esu updates i asked myself: “How can i improve security of ageing operating system?” Replacement of basic internal firewall comes back to mind in the very first place.
After some comprehensive research i ended up with [Outpost Firewall Pro]
, developed by [Agnitum]
a small Russian company, which was acquired by crappy yandex later on. Software was dismissed after purchase immediately.
UPDATED ON: 2025-11-25 Section is constantly updated! For vintage web surfers most important things are here: [plain txt file] [may be a bit out of date and not contain all information, so web version is a way to go!]
Power of vintage 2009 operating system by microsoft can’t be underestimated. [Windows 7 x64]
supports up to 256 threads and up to 192Gb [or even 256Gb] of RAM. How cool is that, huh?
UPDATED ON: 2023-02-19
[Modernized remake]
of vintage black and white [Outer Limits]
of the 60s. Most of series are junk, but beware that in rare cases GEMS can be found. Anyways, serial is recommended for those who would like to experience 90s aesthetics like early CGI graphics, CRT monitors, pagers and "shiny new" cellphones. INTRO WARNING: 7TH SEASON IS A COMPLETE ABOMINATION!
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!
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
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]

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.
OFFICIAL TRAILER
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!

For Android i can recommend [K-9 mail]

OFFICIAL TRAILER
Full-fledged cameraphone benchmarks are aimed on screens > 1280px width.
So almost any desktop or laptop should be fine. Smartphones are not supported, in favor of pixel-peeping convenience.
Updated on 2022.12.24! 100% crops of landscape image added. CURRENTLY TEST IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE VIEW! IMAGE WIDTH > 1280px 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.

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.

OFFICIAL TRAILER METALHEAD [ONE OF MY FAVS] Episodes of disappointment [vague story-line, bad directing/acting]: S3e4, S3e5, S3e6, s4e6, s5e1, s5e3
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.
