I don’t quite understand why people are using horizontal top [MacOS] or horizontal bottom [Windows] taskbars and not vertical one. Most of us are exploiting 16:9, 16:10 or even 21:9 displays. So basic logic confirms that we have more pixels in horizontal plane and less in vertical. So it’s better to save vertical space [pixels], but not horizontal ones. GUI of complex programs like to “eat” vertical space soooo much. This is why i prefer rare 2560x1600 resolution.
To check system hard drive and fix errors:
chkdsk c: /f To check system hard drive, fix errors, locate and mark bad sectors:
chkdsk c: /r
Very basic command to check integrity of system files:
sfc /scannow
If sfc can’t help you try DISM.
Check system health for any corruption presence:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Check system health for store corruption presence:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Finally, repair command:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
PS If i recall something that i’ve missed, will post it as an update later on.
UPDATE: 2021-08-19 Added some benchmarks for more clearness.
Internet is swarming with amateurish articles about “incompatibility”
of modern hardware with legacy Windows 7 operating system.
In fact, it is 100% proven misconception.
░ COMPUTER CONFIGURATION CPU: AMD Ryzen 5950X 16c/32t 3.4 @ 4.4Ghz
MOBO: Asus Aorus x570 Ultra
COOLER: Noctua NH-D15 SE AM4
RAM: 64Gb DDR4 HyperX 3600@3800Mhz
SYSTEM DISK: 1Tb Samsung 980 Pro NVME
DATA DISK #1: 1Tb Samsung QVO SSD
Just want to make a super quick note on neat browsers for legacy operating systems. There is not so much choice for such vintage OS these days.
There are two of last Mohicans. K-Meleon & MyPal.
K-Meleon is way more lightweight and will be good for slow puters. There is even a Windows 98 version.
While MyPal will bring up more modern web compatibility, but of course it is tad slower than K-Meleon.
UPDATE: 2021-08-14 Fixed errors, added some additional stuff. If you’ll find mistakes please report back

Some useful information accumulated during last three years of Nokia 808 usage. Most of the advises mentioned here could be easily applied to any camera or smartphone.

Yeah, i’m 108% confident
Nowadays people don’t have much choice in terms of choosing their web browser. google chrome is a choice of almost all common people.
I choose not to choose it. Because of it’s invasive philosophy to collect every possible thing it can dig up and then send back to it’s Master.
I can’t even call it a browser any more. It is data-collecting platform, with very high privileges.
This will be lil' personal blog about retro computer technology. If you are interested in things like Pentium MMX
, Windows 7
, Nokia camera-phones
or just simply would like to know about vintage computer stuff of the past then please come on in.
But sometimes you will oversee appearance of modern tech like Nvme SSD
& AMD Ryzen CPUs
. Just to diversify blog and don’t be so monotonous.
