TERRY DAVIS ▀ THE MOST UNDERRATED COMPUTER PROGRAMMER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD

[Terry Davis] was an exceptional programmer who created his own programming language, dedicated compiler, boot loader, operating system kernel [TempleOS] written in language he created, various graphical libraries without relying on external dependencies and borrowing. Flight simulator game is one more addition to his achievements. Society considered him to be mentally ill schizophrenic. According to him, God told him to create operating system in 640x480 resolution in 16 colors. Estimated IQ was around 150.
TRIPLE SCREEN LAPTOP CONFIGURATION ▀ HOW COOL IS THAT?

TRIPLE SCREEN LAPTOP CONFIGURATION ▀ HOW COOL IS THAT?

I am mostly used to my triple screen desktop configuration and was wondering how this idea could be implemented in the laptop realm. The result of my internal discussions was the purchase of two portable 14" screens. They come as a single unit.As for branding it is [KEFEYA 14" S3] . Despite the rather low price of ~250 dollars for a pair of displays, they have a very good quality.
THE REVENANT [2015] ▀ PURE VIEWER'S DELIGHT

THE REVENANT [2015] ▀ PURE VIEWER'S DELIGHT

The [plot of the movie] is quite trivial and simple, the main essence of the film lies in stunning acting, outstanding operator’s work, incredible landscape views and, of course, dramatic soundtrack. Luckily it is not epic sh#t with fanfares and other super-hero nonsense. Pure atmospheric ambient drones fill the story with a sense of completeness.

SCHNEIDER VS BAX AND WAITER ARE THE BEST FILMS OF ALEX VAN WARMERDAM

SCHNEIDER VS BAX AND WAITER ARE THE BEST FILMS OF ALEX VAN WARMERDAM

If you’re tired of cliche Hollywood movies that definitely don’t belong to an art and you want to see a really artistic performance, I can suggest two movies by Dutch director: [Scheider vs. Bax] and [Waiter] . I think that these movies represent the peak of Alex Carrier. All of them are a fine mixture of subtle Nordic humor paired with totally unexpected dramatic events that will easily dissolve your longing for some really neat fine art.
FIFTH ELEMENT [1997] ▀ A GREAT EXAMPLE OF QUALITY 90s SCI-FI

FIFTH ELEMENT [1997] ▀ A GREAT EXAMPLE OF QUALITY 90s SCI-FI

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.
LOVE, DEATH AND ROBOTS [2019-2024] ▀ SOME GEMS FROM THE TRASH SERIES

LOVE, DEATH AND ROBOTS [2019-2024] ▀ SOME GEMS FROM THE TRASH SERIES

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

DESKTOP SCREEN OF MY RYZEN 7950X RUNNING WINDOWS 7 OPERATING SYSTEM

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] .

ACTUAL WINDOW MANAGER ▀ MAKE YOUR WINDOWS 7 EVEN MORE STYLISH

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.
HOW TO PRANK YOUR COLLEAGUE OR FRIEND WITH A PROFESSIONAL KEYBOARD FILTER

HOW TO PRANK YOUR COLLEAGUE OR FRIEND WITH A PROFESSIONAL KEYBOARD FILTER

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.

SOME NOSTALGIC MUSIC TRACKS FROM MIAMI VICE

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.

KRAUT BUSTER ▀ THE PINNACLE OF ARCADE PLATFORMERS [2019]

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.

CUSTOM RETROWAVE 84 THEME FOR VS CODE

CUSTOM RETROWAVE 84 THEME FOR VS CODE

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.
JOYPAD AS A CONVENIENT LAUNCHER FOR THE MOST FREQUENT ACTIONS

JOYPAD AS A CONVENIENT LAUNCHER FOR THE MOST FREQUENT ACTIONS

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.

SAVE THE GREEN PLANET! [2003] ▀ UNEXPECTED BLACK HUMOR FIND

[Save the green planet] is a totally unexpected find. Tired of cliche-crap hollywood “comedies” that are not even remotely fun to watch? THEN TRY THIS! Nice blend of mature black humor is always a bargain, especially in 2024. SAVE THE GREEN PLANET! [2003] NO TO WAR! Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik
CAPSTER CONVENIENT WAY TO EXECUTE THINGS ON WINDOWS 7 STARTUP

CAPSTER CONVENIENT WAY TO EXECUTE THINGS ON WINDOWS 7 STARTUP

Although I have been using Linux more and more in recent work, Windows 7 remains my main production operating system. And here is an excellent finding for Windows 7 crony named [Capster] . Its main functionality is to launch the specified executable at startup time when the [CAPS LOCK] key is set to ON or OFF. I use Capser to run backup script, that backs up previously selected folders [if i want to].
MILDREDA ▀ BELGIUM EBM CREW WITH QUITE UNIQUE SOUND

MILDREDA ▀ BELGIUM EBM CREW WITH QUITE UNIQUE SOUND

I am not an adept of the [EBM music] genre. Music that exists at the intersection of punk and industrial music cultures. It is generally accepted that it originated in Belgium. [Mildreda] is a recent and moreover pretty interesting musical discovery on the modern electronic scene. Here are two tracks which i find pretty neat. Imagine all the aesthetics of EBM submerged into trancy [Aes Dana] vibes, backed by [Prodigy] breakbeat and wrapped into [Underworld] synth riffs.
OPPO FIND X6 PRO IS THE LAST CAMERAPHONE TO BE REVIEWED ON THESE PAGES

OPPO FIND X6 PRO IS THE LAST CAMERAPHONE TO BE REVIEWED ON THESE PAGES

If i remember correctly i already promised [not to touch any cameraphones again] . But what convinced me to take another crack at it was the numerous reviews claiming “it’s the best cameraphone in the world” running Android 13. As you may know, Android 14 brought many groundbreaking changes [at least from my point of view]. One of them is the restriction on installing applications targeted at Android 6.0. Loads of cr#p services and telemetry dialers are included also.

OTT - HOLIDAY BOAT ▀ SOME TRANCY DUB AT YER FACE

Take a break from the classic retrowave aesthetic and dive into the world of trancy dub patterns spiced up with eastern sound waves. Exceptionally groovy track with funky bass and subtle 303 synth lines from the highly talented UK music producer. OTT ▀ HOLIDAY BOAT Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

SMALL STURDY PHONE WITH GREAT CAMERA AND BATTERY LIFE ▀ IS IT POSSIBLE?

Somewhere in the previous posts i have already done [small rant] regarding the desired specification of modern smartphone. After fiddling around with the latest [Oppo Find X6 Pro] aka the best modern cameraphone, i come to a conclusion with myself on how the smartphone specification of my dreams should look like. Consider this as a revisited version of the previous document. And yeah, you will surely see the Oppo review in a while when i free myself up from the daily routine.
