Do we really need expensive Sennheiser? In youth dates, I was fond of exploiting expensive audio technics.As for earphones, my favorite brand was Bayerdynamic.
However, some time ago I have discovered relatively inexpensive headphones from Chinese brand [Fiio]
. As a listener of wide gamut of music like ambient, trance, dub, psybient, jazz, metal: I have to say that this headphones provide totally unexpected level of audio quality. Especially if we’ll consider the price.
Of course you run into situations when you would like to copy “non-standard” files to your Android smartphone and dumb MTP protocol showed up window like this one:
And this torture repeated after every new file type copied. Such imbecility can be removed by following command in admin console:
regsvr32 /u wpdshext.dll That’s all, limitation is gone.
Another hint, which potentially can help to overcome weird design of MTP protocol.
I think that people are sicking tired of cheap computer graphics. Everything is so plastic and unnaturally glossy these days. Miss those real video effects from early 90s. And yeah, they were so atmospheric, especially amplified effect of beam light coming out of backdrop. Evil Dead is very neat example, just look at these pieces. Make sure to watch S-Mart scene!

Sometime ago i had YT channel with best [tracker MODS]
ever. When i’ve reached almost 10.000 of subs i was permanently banned, without any strikes on copyrighted content. Anyways, I was posting content under terms of “fair use”. Today i’ve decided to revive the channel on new platform and in a bit different wrapping - 60 sec loops instead of posting whole tracks. I don’t like TT too much, but want to try it out.
Straight’n’essential advice: do not use google, yahoo, bing, yandex, rambler or mail.ru. More trust goes out to [DuckDuckGo]
. However, even they have not so good reputation if we look into the past dealings with Yahoo.
Use [StartPage]
if you want to get results similar to google, but beware that they are not exactly the same. Startpage removes some stuff and adds some of it’s own. In general, it is proxy to google with so-called de-anonymized search queries.

- P6 chip. Triple the speed of the Pentium.
- It's not just the chip. It has a PCI bus.

Moss: What kind of operating system does it use? Bomb guy: Vista!
Moss to Roy: We are going to die! Actually, Vista was not so bad after all these service packs. However, in golden release it was really awful: problems with USB speeds, GUI performance issues and so on.
As for looks, I like it soooo much and even [transformed my Windows 7]
into Windows Vista. Will post a note regarding this transformation in a while.

I’m not a big fan of Sony smartphones. Yeah, their products almost always packed with technology, but in terms of engineering ideas and realization things they suck pretty badly. Same point of view regarding their photography division.
But nevertheless I’m using Sony XZ1 Compact as my main portable web gateway on daily basis. Using it due to ultra-compact size and no alternatives available. It’s a 2017 flagship, based upon Snapdragon 835 CPU and paired with 4Gb of RAM.
I bet that many of you would like to open site links not in the same window, but in a background tab. Such behavior is restricted by default settings of most Hugo themes. Mainroad is restricting it also. Here is a solution on how to overcome weird limitation.
Create file render-link.html in _default folder of the theme. Name_of_your_site\themes\mainroad\layouts\_default\_markup\render-link.html Contents of render-link.html should be like this:
<a href="{{ .Destination | safeURL }}"{{ with .

Today it is not an easy task to do. There are plenty browsers out there. “So, what is the problem?” you may ask. Most of them are based upon google chrome. This means that all of them are dialing back to google to share your private data. That’s the main problem.
Here is my personal list of browsers that I use in a daily workflow on Windows machine: Main surfer: [Iceweasel 110]

Answer is very plain’n’simple. I like look of png compression especially with Floyd–Steinberg dither filter applied.
Image aesthetics become soooo 80s’ish and this is so, cool! And yeah, I’m saving space of [Codeberg project]

Thanks to all of them. They even helped me out to setup initial repository of the project. Very neat guys, to say the least.

Everybody count Mortal Kombat on PC or King of the Fighters on NeoGeo as best fighting games ever. I have another opinion on that.
The most dynamic and neck-breaking fighting game is WWF. World Wrestling Federation. Fluid VGA animations and cool atmosphere, spiced-up with best combo system in the world, that’s the key to neat fighting game. It is extremely underrated! In my childhood i’ve managed to do 32-hit combo by Shawn Michaels.
Just a simple list of the most important services of Windows 7.
Whatever happens - don’t disable them.
Services are programs, which are automatically loading into memory of your computer during start-up time.
Services are always hanging around in computer’s RAM in background mode. Alternative name: resident programs.
That is why it is so important to cut most of them to free valuable memory up for your personal applications.
Described issue related to Windows 7 and modern AMD-based GPU’s. Some users on Reddit [have reported]
,that there is a problem with modern Radeon cards. Core of the problem: sometimes monitor can’t wake up from sleep state and shows up no signal message, despite the fact that computer continues to operate. Keyboard input, sound output are working normally though.
Of course you can set Windows power management not to turn off monitor completely, but this will be quite a waste of energy.
Some time ago, I had a VERY LONG post with detailed comparisons on ugly blogger.
But after I was banned and totally de-platformed from g services I’ve lost all text material of the article.
Don’t have time to revive all stuff completely.
The best thing, which i can do for you is to share archive with all test materials:
pictures in RAW & jpg formats.
Since Firefox v3.x the browser is capable of managing color profiles like sRGB & AdobeRGB.
When a browser doesn’t support color management or it has been badly implemented, images won’t show up right.

As you may already noticed i’m not presented in any generic social network, maybe except of [abandoned instagram]
. But I can’t login into it because mail, which was used for recovery is not exists anymore and I can’t recover my lost password. No worries, coz I don’t care about instagram service anymore.
My most frequent stream of news [located at Mastodon]
. If i would like to say something it will appear [on Codeberg pages]

Just a quick note regarding coolness of obsolete cellular protocol. I’m talking about 3G technology.
Recently I find myself in situation when 3G is actually provides greater speed and is way more reliable than modern protocols.
