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.
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.

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.

SOVIET ▀ SYMMETRIC CONNECTION

I don’t fully understand emotional component of this track. Or it’s the triumphant completion of something or it’s the grandiose beginning of something. Choose your own variant. SOVIET ▀ SYMMETRIC CONNECTION spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

ONESTOP.MID ▀ GREAT MUSIC WRITTEN FOR TESTING PURPOSES BACK IN THE 90S

Ok, we are almost in the middle of the summer. Some words about computer music history to celebrate this. Onestop.mid is a midi file found within the Windows Media folder on most Windows starting from Windows XP back in the 90s. It was composed by David Yackley. Despite Wikipedia assurance that the main purpose of it was an easter egg thing, music was mostly used as a troubleshooting demo song for Microsoft technicians, which was available on almost all Windows installations.
