In previous posts i’ve [already mentioned] Andrew Saga’s rants about history of music tracking, but i think that provided info are not covering topic fully. So, here is one more excellent video clip, which i dug up on yt recently. Enjoy! spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

[GeForce 1650Ti] is the fastest passively cooled GPU avaialable on market. It was made by Palit company and carries KalmX branding. Recently, i finished my Blender investigations and that is why i don’t need [Radeon 6900xt] power anymore. So, i decided to switch to something without fan with decent performance. KalmX design solely relies on massive radiator. Despite the fact that device doesn’t have any fans it provides pretty good performance.

BBS is acronym which stands for [Bulletin board system] . It was a distant ancestor of modern internet. In our days of totally non-private web cultivated by google, facebook and apple and other rotten companies BBS could be a neat solution to people who value their privacy and who don’t want to feed greedy corporations with telemery data of their own. Also tech will be useful for people who would like to hide themselves from modern shitty trends and stupid brainwashing or so-called government propaganda.

I’m still using trusted [Icecat port by Muslayev] . Problem is that it begin to show it’s age by not rendering some websites in a correct way. After checking [Firefox release roadmap] i find out that 91 ESR branch on which Icecat is based will reach EOL status at the end of the summer. So i’ll need a replacement to keep up with modern web standards. Chrome and original Firefox are not an options because of their telemetry framework and bloated nature.

Unexpected and very pleasant drop from 90s. The time when techno groups had neat vocalists. In this song N-Trance invited session vocalist [Gillian Wisdom] .

One more demoscene post if you don’t mind. Awesome technology to play full motion video with in sync audio on very slow puters using text mode or very low res.

I’m not much into rock music, but Porcupine Tree stands out from boring generic rock stuff. [Steven Wilson] - leader of the project resurrected rock style from it’s ashes. His music represent perfectly brewed concoction of space rock, heavy metal, trance and even ambient ingredients. Most of art are melancholic with unexpected positive explosions. My favourite album is [Voyage 34] . VOYAGE 34 PORCUPINE TREE - EVEN LESS spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

It is pretty strange that i didn’t cover this topic in previous posts. So, i stand corrected and posting it now! @ FIRST: [WHAT IS DEMOSCENE?] In this quick breakdown i’ll point to the most coolest demoscene stuff out there. ▓ IBM PC [DOS/WIN] In early 90s finnish coders from [Future Crew] brought phenomenon of demoscene to masses.

I’m very satisfied that I covered such a large topic and pretty sure that it is the most complete Windows 7 tweaking guide ever. But due to the lack of spare time it is still in unfinished state, so consider it as a stack of knowledge. Document contain all information [posted here] plus loads of more detailed stuff. [DOWNLOAD DOCX VERSION] Maybe, if i have more free time, i’ll return back to the topic to clean things up someday.

Back to the Future is an excellence of American Sci-Fi movies at it’s best. Pity that they don’t do things like this any more. TURN ON, TUNE IN, DROP OUT ROCK’N’ROLL FOR MASSES spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

UPDATED ON: 2022-04-27 Added Even More Contraptions Excellent time killing game with a noticeable profit to grey matter of your brain. Game where every click is satisfactory. I recommend to acquire [The Incredible Machine Mega Pack] released by GOG store, which includes 4 game parts in a one solid package. My favourite is [Incredible Machine III] for Windows 95/3.X. ░▒▓█LIKE IT FOR NEAT PIXEL PERFECT SVGA GRAPHICS█▓▒░ GAMEPLAY PERSONAL CAMCODER SAMPLE

[Frank Klepacki] is well known for [Command & Conqueror] soundtrack released back in a mid 90s. He brought awesome progressive sound to PC platform, which was pretty innovative especially after FM bleeps’n’blops of the 80s era. Don’t get me wrong, i don’t have anything against frequency modulation in games. [UFO X-COM: Enemy Unknown] is an excellent example of how music should be done when you are squeezed by multiple limitations like waveform shapes, file size and so on.

As you may already noticed i like to give a reference to Microprose games. Previous posts covered masterpieces like [UFO: X-Com] and [Civilization II] . And i’m doing that on purpose. Games of the past primarily relied on solid and very high-quality storylines. Back in the day processing power of computer was quite limited and developers can’t offer breath-taking graphics. So they have to use head to output quality entertainment product.

Some nostalgy rant about convinience of older websites and absense of uneeded crap. Don’t you remember? Here is some fine examples of modern sites, which try to match older web in terms of ergonomics and overall perception.

OBS is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Just want to let you know that latest version [27.2.4] runs on Windows 7. Works without any hickups.

Sky Force is a neat vertical shmup on Android to kill your time on boring job. Excellent graphics and solid demoscene soundtrack of Reloaded remaster a bit spoiled by developer’s greed, coz game balance is tuned for purchasing stuff via real money. But if you are ok to play without microtransactions and slow progress is acceptable for you, then game is highly recommended. Of cource it can’t be compared with [Jets’n’Guns] or classical [Tyrain] , but anyways it is worth of mentioning here and can be counted as decent time killer.

If for some reason you are unable to find wanted music and you already looked it in oldschool [Emule] and didn’t get satisfactory results i suggest to try out Soulseek P2P network. Pretty big chance that you’ll find what you are looking for. [DOWNLOAD SOULSEEK] spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik
