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.

HOW TO TUNE THE DISPLAY OF YOUR SMARTPHONE TO AVOID ANNOYING PWM PROBLEMS

In this note, I will describe all the settings you need to tweak to get a 100% flicker-free, eye-friendly result on your smartphone.

A QUICK NOTE ON THE RYZEN 7700 ADOPTION PROCESS

Initially, I decided to install Windows Server 2008 R2, attracted by the opportunity to have a server-class operating system with increased I/O throughput in the works. But almost immediately i ran into compatibility problems [no surprise here] with my existing software. Some programs refuse to run because of artificial restrictions [you know licensing mambo-jambo stuff], some of which depend on components that are not present in Windows Server. It’s sort of possible to work, but you almost always run into little glitches here and there, even after converting it to a [workstation].

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].

HOW TO EXPORT FIREFOX BOOKMARKS AND OPEN LOCALLY PLACED HTML FILES ON ANDROID

You might think that it is kinda ridiculous title, but read on to find out. First of all you have to understand that i’m not going to share my personal bookmarks with some ugly copro that cloaks itself under the umbrella of free software ideas and use their lame anti-private sync. And i’m certainly not going to use any web service provided by these companies in any case. Of course we won’t skip that generic rant part about how dumb project managers are for not implementing essential features like bookmark export or the ability to open local HTML files in 2024.
