It’s been a while since i ran into the craze of pointless benchmarks. And now I’m back with the absolute procrastination stuff. Are you happy with this? Take a note that 3DMark 03, 3DMark 05, 3DMark 06, 3DMark Vantage [2007], 3DMark 2011 and 3DMark 2021 are not marked by ▒ sign, showing the fact that these programs lost the soul of demoscene and just providing comparison numbers, nothing else. https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-play-classic-fallout-2-to-get-the-most-out-of-it-in-2023/ Sat, 17 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-play-classic-fallout-2-to-get-the-most-out-of-it-in-2023/ So you want to do a deep dive into the best RPG game of all time and don’t know how do it in a right way in 2023? You’ve come to the right place, coz unlisted slacker knows precisely what you need to do in the first place. Here is a breakdown list of what you need to do to run Fallout 2 buttery smooth: grab original [Fallout 2] distribution from GOG [latest version 2. https://teachedu.name/news/hunters-1-2-1996-2011/ Thu, 25 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/hunters-1-2-1996-2011/ Tired of crappy holywood detective action stories? Here is a couple of really decent ones. Swedish at this time. Quite boring at the beginning, but surprisingly intense in the end. Good acting is also here. [The Hunters] [The Hunters 2: False Trail] THE HUNTERS [1996] FALSE TRAIL [2011] Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik https://teachedu.name/news/fallout-vault-13/ Tue, 11 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/fallout-vault-13/ Is an ambitious project to replicate Fallout 1 world using Fallout 4 engine. Currently game in it’s early stage of development, but location of Shady Sands was already showcased to the public. Developers intend to redo original voice-over because of copyright trademarks. Moreover they are trying to copy voice aesthetics as close as possible to original Fallout 1. Also you can already preview multiple soundtracks created by [Radiofloyd]. As for me, I really like what they are doing, despite the fact that I’m not fond of Fallout 3/4. https://teachedu.name/news/64-core-128-thread-threadripper-3995wx-confirmed-to-work-in-windows-7/ Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/64-core-128-thread-threadripper-3995wx-confirmed-to-work-in-windows-7/ Well known Chinese driver modder [Canonkong] confirmed that [64-cores/128-threads Threadripper 3995WX] based upon sWRX8 chipset works flawlessly in Windows 7 environment. Considering the news it looks like that more recent [5995WX] will also work without any issues. So, we have plenty of headroom in terms of system performance. As for me, i have no need to switch to “recent operating systems” like Windows 10/11. Here is brief [confirmation] from the WinRaid forum: https://teachedu.name/news/1984-is-already-here/ Sun, 19 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/1984-is-already-here/ War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Nineteen Eighty-Four, also known as 1984, is a 1984 British dystopian science fiction film written and directed by Michael Radford, based upon George Orwell’s 1949 novel of the same name. Film follows the life of Winston Smith, a low-ranking civil servant in a war-torn London ruled by Oceania, a totalitarian superstate. Smith struggles to maintain his sanity and his grip on reality as the regime’s overwhelming power and influence persecutes individualism and individual thinking on both a political and personal level. https://teachedu.name/news/100-year-old-man-who-climbed-out-the-window-n-disappeared/ Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/100-year-old-man-who-climbed-out-the-window-n-disappeared/ Delicate [Swedish humour] at its best.

These blue panels take very special place in my heart. Maybe because i’m using software right from the mid 90s. Still under active development. 64-bit version is preffered.

Enjoy!

But only on Hi-End models. I’m not even speaking about pathetic iphones, which are disabled in terms of external storage due to the greed of executive directors. In this note i will check old mastodonts like: [Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact [2017]] [Nokia PureView 808 [2012]] for compatibility with such ENORMOUS storage device. Sony XZ1 Compact handles such capacity without any problems. https://teachedu.name/news/fennec-f-droid-as-a-replacement-for-aging-icecat-68-esr/ Tue, 19 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/fennec-f-droid-as-a-replacement-for-aging-icecat-68-esr/ UPDATED ON: 2023-02-20 I recommend to replace Fennec F-Droid with [Mull Browser] due to the fact that is COMPLETELY free from telemetry. In contrast to Fennec Mull browser do not trigger any mozilla or google connections, so take a note. And for God’s sake do not use plain Firefox, it is almost like chrome now! As my main web surfer IceCat begin to showing it’s age and don’t have any new versions apart from “super-new” 68. https://teachedu.name/news/human-traffic-1999/ Fri, 15 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/human-traffic-1999/ British, [almost documentary movie about rave culture of 90s] reminds me of my own youth. Quite talented picture for sure. DJ Koop always puts me on the right rails.

Thanks to it I’ve learn English [to some kind of degree] and even was almost expelled from university. What a neat memories. I was totally obsessed with deep “in game” atmosphere. Cyberpunk post-apocalyptic stuff, you know what I’m saying and those incredible ambient from master [Mark Morgan]. Can firmly confirm that modern series of this franchise don’t provide such immersion. As for backdrop music, Mark Morgan in Fallout ½ set quality bar to unreachable level. https://teachedu.name/news/fastest-amd-based-cards-for-legacy-windows-98-2000-xp-7/ Sun, 26 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/fastest-amd-based-cards-for-legacy-windows-98-2000-xp-7/ Quick breakdown of the most powerful AMD-based cards for legacy operating systems.

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!
