Today, i decided to open a chat room for Windows 7 users in Discord. Maybe such decision will compensate the absence of commentary system on the website, who knows. Hope that it will be handy to some extend, at least for someone. I don’t know.

As you may know modern WEB is more and more dependent on JavaScript technology, that is why JS performance is essential for modern browsers. I have decided to throw the most important and interesting browsers into the pit, to find out in fare fight, who is stronger in above mentioned domain. Things go fast these days, especially in the technology field. Not so long ago, the [Octane]
speed test, considered as a standard in this field, counts as outdated.

Recently i needed to use TOR to access some blocked resources and was faced quite nasty dropdown banner with the message, that the browser will drop Windows 7 support soon.
The next major version of Tor browser (14.0) will no longer support this version of Windows. Please upgrade to Windows 10 or later by October 1st 2024 to conitinue receiving important security updates.
Got it. Tor will be updated until release of FireFox 115.
Recently my personal desktop at home has been subjected to multiple hacking attempts. Attacks were scattered and came from different IP addresses. They were all of a different nature. Most likely it was automatic security hacking bot searching for vulnerable systems or a script kiddie pretending to be a hacker.
At first my computer was attacked using teardrop attack. This was repeated multiple times in a row.
Simply speaking, teardrop is a type of network attack in which an attacker uses fragmented packets to overload network devices and penetrate the security of network.
Good news to Windows 7 users! Operating system will be updated until at least of winter 2026, despite yellow pressed tabloid propaganda that such thing will not happen. Even microsoft official documents show that [system is “dead”]
right from winter of 2020. But what moron listen and trust to official and moreover public statements?
The main trick here is that Windows 7 is based upon Windows NT 6.0 codebase. This is the same codebase upon Windows 2008 R2 was build.

Here is a collection of plugins for VS Code, which can improve coding workflow dramatically. Currently i’m using [Codium]
, it is an open-source fork of VS Code, that is why provided links are heading to [non-ms marketplace]
.
BENEFITS:
performance optimized telemetry can be completely turned off no network connections to servers of evil corpo can be executed on Windows 7 machine [v1.87] FAVORITE PLUGINS:
UPDATED ON: 2024-06-07 !!!!Post will be updated in the future, so be on the edge!!!! Here is a comprehensive list of the most trusted ban-overriding solutions to date to circumvent pathetic actions of obsolete dictators and freedom violators. All mentioned software are compatible with Windows 7 and Android 8. Linux users will surely find what they are looking for without my help.

Short answer will be: NONE OF THEM. But if you are not satisfied with that and interested in topic: read below. In this quick blip-note i’ll explain my subjective opinion regarding big corpos and their influence on technology in general. Let’s start from the barebone roots of the problem. There are two people who brought home computing to masses. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Who are they?
First one cheaply bought DOS operating system from [Gary Kildall]
and resold it to IBM for a waaaay bigger money.
As a hardcore user of [dual-panel orthodox file manager]
i always suffered because of sucky look of default console fonts. Native preloaded font list has quite scarce selection, if you ask me. To fix such disappointment you’ll need:
install desired fonts by means of windows control panel copy EXACT FONT NAME fonts section in control panel paste it into registry key into following branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont note that every new subsequent font should be added by a key with added one zero to registry key name reboot computer to apply & enjoy!
So you have tweaked every possible thing and want to squeeze more performance from your workstation?
I’ll tell you how to do this if you have plenty of spare RAM and don’t know what to do with all those memory chips. Placing swap file and temporary folder into RAM is a quite good decision after all. Ram disk is already old idea to improve speed of disk input/output operations. Some time ago even [GPURamDrive]
was introduced to masses, although it doesn’t receive popularity because of slow speed in comparison to generic DDR3/4 memory.
Surfing web regarding Windows 7 news i’ve stumbled upon [MDGX]
site. This chaotic gold mine of various knowledge, especially regarding vintage operating systems! Immediately bookmarked it and will surely study in a closer inspection later on. Huge section [dedicated to Windows 7 tweaks]
and [plain text file]
is also available. Hope that you’ll find something previously unknown.
