It’s been a while since i watched Chyrosran22 YT channel.
If you are interested, here is one more unusual video unpacking of pretty obscure keyboard.

You can say what you want, but the fact that the 90s is the golden age of the coolest SciFi is an undeniable fact. Despite its rather simple and somewhat childish plot, [FIFTH ELEMENT]
raises quite important questions about human existence. From a design point of view, I like the fact that the movie mostly shows real decorations, not just soulless computer graphics, which certainly adds analog warmth to the movie.

If someone doesn’t like this kind of information, I will remove it immediately on first request without any questions. Since we have crossed the EOL line of Windows 7 POS support, I think no one will mind if I post the list of current activators for the Windows 7 operating system.
As far as I know, we have four options to choose from:
[DAZ loader]
► 108% working solution to activate distributions based upon classic MBR partition [KMS by Ratiborus]
► rearming software, which can activate GPT-based Pro and Enterprise editions [KMS rearm script]
► rearming scipt, which can activate GPT-based Pro and Enterprise editions [RemoveWAT]
► legacy GPT compatible activator [not maintained anymore] Also list of activators can be found on [this page]
.
I think that [LOVE, DEATH AND ROBOTS]
is quite overrated. Most of the episodes are true beauties in terms of drawing quality, but the plot leaves much to be desired in most cases.
OFFICIAL TRAILER
Here is a list of the most cool episodes by my standards. So you don’t have to waste your valuable time on obvious junk.
► Season 1
[Three Robots]
► Season 2
[Pop Squad]
[Snow In The Desert]
[All Through the House]
[Life Hutch]
► Season 3
Yesterday was the last update aimed for Windows 7 POS devices. Comprehensive details can be found at [Ghacks]
.
Windows 7 is an operating system which already outlived Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also i would like to point out some relevant Windows 7 pages
for die-hard fans like myself.

As you may already know i am using [Windows 7 as a daily driver even in 2024]
pretty much for everything. I think most of the sofa expert’s conclusions about Windows 7’s obsolescence are [out of touch with reality]
. ACTUAL HARDWARE SETUP:
32-thread modern CPU 64Gb of DDR5 RAM fast NVME drive 24Gb of video memory
WHO NEEDS MORE?
Such hardware specs are achieved by [CanonKong’s modern chipset driver]
.
It looks like we have reached the very last driver for the Nvidia 3XXX series of graphics cards. They promised that the final revision of the driver will see the light of day in late September. As of early October, the latest version of the driver is [v475.14]
, released on July 9. But I have a feeling that Nvidia will release another very final version later on, if this is true I’ll update post accordingly.
iPhone was always highly overrated and overpriced piece of hardware.
I remember ramblings from 2013 times when sellout sites like dpreview stated that iPhone was the best camera-phone ever.
Of course it was a complete lie right until iPhone 15, with it’s decent camera quality, but not in all scenarios of course.
¶ INTRO WORDS Numbers, numbers, numbers … i say NUMBERS!!!!
It’s been a while since i ran into the craze of pointless benchmarks. And now I’m back with the absolute procrastination stuff. Are you happy with this?
Take a note that 3DMark 03, 3DMark 05, 3DMark 06, 3DMark Vantage [2007], 3DMark 2011 and 3DMark 2021 are not marked by ▒ sign, showing the fact that these programs lost the soul of demoscene and just providing comparison numbers, nothing else.
First of all, I’d like to note that this post is not an advertisement and it is not sponsored, I’m just REALLY impressed by software and decided to share this lucky find with all of you.
Actual Window Manager has quite boring and generic naming, but in reality it is highly advanced and modern window manager that offers broad functionality combined with 90’s quality.
Adding this software to your arsenal it’s like entering cheat-code for superpowers.
So you want to do something evil or make a present for the April’s Fool Day to your surrounding. Today we’re going to use the professional keyboard application [FilterKeys Setter]
in its meanest form, will set keyboard filters to skip keystrokes, but only if the person starts typing at a faster rate.
I find out that the easiest way is to set Ignore Under parameter somewhere around 60ms, so it will be not so obvious in the beginning for the end user, that key strokes are skipping.
[HighTreason]
is not that active these days, so i have to find a solid substitute for my retro hardware cravings. And, oh boy, that was not an easy task to complete, i can barely find a solid reviewer among hundreds of sellouts, boring and just plain ignorant vloggers.
But in the end of the day i found him! Yeah, it is [RetroSpector78]
from Belgium. His speciality is producing reviews of obscure and rare pieces of computer hardware [primarily from 80s-90s era] with episodic dives into the software field.
Color profiling in Linux is a rather obscure and unpopular topic, so I decided to cover it on the pages of this website. KDE and other modern heavy desktop environments are often have preinstalled tools to work with color profiles, but in this note we’ll talk about importing of color profiles in my favorite lightweight environment called XFCE. In some Arch-based distributions like Manjaro everything works out-of-the-box, but that is not the case when it comes to EndeavourOS, which I am currently studying to migrate from Windows 7 in upcoming future.
Today I learned I was permanently banned from Reddit’s Windows 7 channel. Here is a [post]
where i to take the liberty of writing my own opinion on the topic.
Removed comment:
Dude, malware and telemetry gathering are embedded in official updates. So what?
K4sum1 is doing nice job for the Windows 7 users by compiling modern Firefox called R3dFox.
Decide for yourself afterward whether to use it or not.
Is it Friday or not, for God’s sake? Here are some retro-O-matic tracks right in your years. For some reason, unlisted or private videos can’t be viewed on the mobile version of the site, although the desktop template works fine. I am investigating the matter.

Due to the fact that I was forced to use windows 10 at my primary work, I have to accumulate all these software to prevent myself from daily vomiting provoked by original windows 10 diarrhea.
Ok, kids, you don’t like the native looks of Windows 10? So am i! That is why today we transform atrocious Windows 10 interface into clean looking heaven of classic Windows 7.
Messing around with the recently purchased Ryzen 7700 i ran into some rather annoying power related problems. The computer and monitor would go into sleep mode after about 5 minutes, despite the appropriate power settings in the Control Panel and third party software such as Process Lasso and Park Control being residential in memory.
I had to break my head to get out of this situation and traditionally i am sharing with you the solution I found.
In this note, I will describe all the settings you need to tweak to get a 100% flicker-free, eye-friendly result on your smartphone. However, some settings are quite extreme and you don’t need to apply all of them, such as the monochrome filter or setting extremely high warm values on the color temperature slider.
PWM flickering is a “feature” of most digital displays at relatively low brightness levels that can cause eye strain and headaches.
Previously i’ve already posted things about the Japanese Neo Geo console [here]
and [here]
. And now I would like to introduce you the newest NeoGeo game, which has some similarities with the well-known [Metal Slug]
, but this fact does not cancel the beauty of pixel art and pulse-pounding soundtrack of Kraut Buster.Some footages.

Good news for all Windows 7 users! Material is provided by [official release calendar]
. SO, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT 115 BRANCH WILL BE THE LONGEST SUPPORTED ESR BRANCH EVER! Please, take a note that 115 ESR branch is [significantly slower]
than [hacked R3DFox]
! Firefox 115 ESR is for those people who prefer only official versions and do not trust to third-party developers.

No posts about VS Code for so long time? This should be fixed.
Today i’ll do a little note regarding visual looks of the editor. Honestly, I already have my personalized theme. But after seeing [Retrowave84’s skin]
, I was so impressed with the overall aesthetics and correctly set glow and shadow effects, that I decided to stack it on my own theme, to get the best things from both of them.
I have a ton of various batch files and scripts that i use in my daily process to simplify routine actions. Copy/move files, start/stop services, run applications with specific parameters, embed Exif tags, and much more.
Most of them are executed by assigned shortcuts. Because of their quantity they begin to interfere with global shortcuts of installed software. That’s why I want to draw a visible logical line between shortcuts for scripts and shortcuts for applications.
Initially, I decided to install Windows Server 2008 R2, attracted by the opportunity to have a server-class operating system with increased I/O throughput in the works. But almost immediately i ran into compatibility problems [no surprise here] with my existing software. Some programs refuse to run because of artificial restrictions [you know licensing mambo-jambo stuff], some of which depend on components that are not present in Windows Server. It’s sort of possible to work, but you almost always run into little glitches here and there, even after converting it to a [workstation]
.
It was more than a two-year long run with [44 thread Broadwell]
, quite a nice heater. I have really enjoyed running multi-threaded workloads on it, but it is time to move on. As you may remember i’ve already tried [AMD in 2021]
, just to make sure that it is possible in a Windows 7 environment. And now i would like to jump on the red train again.
Too large to be good in terms of ergo?
I had the chance to try out the [Dell U4323QE]
beast and here is my opinion on that device.
I have been using neat [NEC PA301w]
since early 2014 and have no regrets about it’s performance. But not long time ago i’ve noticed that screen space has become scarce for my needs and applications in 2024. Even after I added an old 19-inch NEC to the configuration, it still wasn’t enough to feel completely comfortable.
