UPDATED ON: 2022-03-06 Corel Draw 2022 confirmed to work on Windows 7, but w/o GPU acceleration. 2020 version also don’t provide GPU extensions, but you can ignore this if you have fast 8-16 multicore CPU.
Just run into difficulties during Corel Painter 2020 installation process. Right after the first screen i can’t press [Next »] button.
Problem was solved by dropping down security level in Internet Explorer 11 [!]
Previous owner of my main laptop installed the most modern intel WiFi chip, [AX200]
to be precise. Unfortunately, chip does not have drivers for beloved Windows 7. Yeah intel dropped support in 2019. So, i have to downgrade wireless card. Found on eBay compatible [Dell WiFi 1820]
: the last one to support Windows 7 operating system.
I always loved Dell’s Precision series for super easy installation of hardware upgrades.

I’ve promised to do a quick overview of this awesome laptop. So here it is!
FRONT VIEW I/O SYSTEM KEYBOARD UPCLOSE SIDE PORTS CLOSED LID COMPAQ LOGO I like the overall aesthetics and design of the casing. Computer easily handles any DOS software. Keyboard is nice too, like tactile feel of it. My copy has a wobbly keyboard on the left side, but this due to it’s age of course.

All console commands should be executed from command line with with administrative privileges. Most of mentioned tweaks could be done via control panel, to enter it in a fast way just type in command line or execute Start Run:
I can’t even describe my feelings regarding the topic. Just look what Ghacks.net threw at our faces!

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 [Samsung S22 Ultra]
with 1/1.33" sensor. A lil’ smaller than mighty Nokia 808, which comes with 1/1.2". Now let’s see how Nokia will hold up in such situation.

While STALKER 2 announced to be delayed, [again]
. It looks like that we have plenty of time to do one more run to an excellent [OGSR modification]
of original [STALKER]
.
Classic post-apocalyptic survival-horor shooter with RPG elements. Original game was know for huge amount of bugs and glitches, so I recommend you to play-through OGSR mod, which fixes tons of bugs, adds new quests to main story-line, new weaponry, changes balance and adds convenience features.
This is not an AD post, just reporting that i’ve switched from annoying teamviewer for a better remote tool and grateful to developers of software.
I fed up with teamviewer’s nag-screens and constant mumbling that i use software not for a personal use. During 2020 i’ve used hacked version with auto-generator of my client ID to prevent nag-screen triggering, but when i find out that their android client is full of telemetry stuff i’ve decided to ditch it completely.
[Shawshank Redemption]
The story about achieving an aim. Almost everybody have such thing in mind. Glory, fame, family, wealth, new toy - whatever.
Despite the fact that i prefer art house movies to mainstream production i’m counting this piece of Hollywood as really good one. Everything in film is well ballanced. Actors, scenario, sountrack. And yeah, emotional punch is pretty tremendous to say the least.
