  1. I felt I wanted a change on my secondary computer (a mini PC I use for gaming) from my valve VGUI/AmigaOS combo theme, and felt like going for a Windows 7 look. Why 7 in particular? Just because I missed Aero with it's frosted glass-like transparency around the windows/taskbar and the 3D-ish close/minimise/maximise buttons of old. I'm pretty please this kitbash of several Win7-inspired theme assets looks - stars I missed Windows Aero! :apartyblobcat:

  10. Genuine question I keep coming back to: if your favourite old OS had never been discontinued and just kept getting developed normally by their OG devs with proper modern hardware support, security patches and so on, which one would you actually want to daily drive today?

    For me it's a tossup between Windows XP and Windows 7. I used both of them a lot when I was younger and honestly they felt basically the same to me at the time, but Windows 7 always seemed a bit easier to navigate.

  15. It was just an odd chance that I even noticed it, but on a running #Windows7 PC that's rarely used now, I previously installed a v.2.5.4 copy of #GitHub #Desktop .

    It was gone 2 minutes later, as I no longer use GitHub for my #repository, and it's certainly not needed on an essentially 'retired' machine - but it prompts a question...

    Given all the #AI creeping into its ecosystem, did any of that code bleed over into the desktop app at some point?

  20. Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

    This one is Nanami Madobe (窓辺ななみ), the official mascot for Windows 7 in Japan! She’s one of the most well-known OS-tans to many people.

    A Twitter account dedicated to her was created on September 14, 2009, to share Windows 7 updates, while her first official appearance came shortly after. On September 24, 2009, it was revealed that Nanami was part of a special Windows 7 Ultimate promotional bundle, limited to 7,777 preorders. This exclusive set included system sounds and wallpapers.

    Born on April 6, Nanami is depicted as a first-year college student from a tech-savvy family with a father and brother who are PC enthusiasts. Despite being inexperienced, she was roped into working part-time at a computer parts shop when Windows 7 debuted.

  21. Die gute Tat des Tages

    Die Frau Nachbarin, eine Rentnerin, hat einen Rentnerlaptop (nicht speziell für alte Leute, aber er ist halt alt) und der hatte bis heute noch mit Windows 10 und seinem Legacy-Dasein zu kämpfen. Schließlich waren da noch Downloads von Windows 7 drauf (Firefox 4.0).

    Ich möchte also wirklich nicht wissen, was der schon alles mitgemacht hat. Ihr wisst schon, was jetzt kommt - er hat keine Möglichkeit, Windows 11 zu empfangen. Mal abgesehen davon, dass sie eh keine Lust mehr hatte, sich von Microsoft überwachen zu lassen.

    Machen wir’s kurz: Linux Mint hat jetzt eine Nutzerin mehr. Jetzt ist ihr System wieder schnell.

  26. For those who love MSN/Windows Live Messenger, it has been revived! This site has been around for awhile, but I thought I should mention it for those who don't know about it and also for those who are tired of modern messaging programs which are often inaccessible. Note that you must create a free account with them and cannot use an old hotmail address or whatever you used with Microsoft's version. This is the same software, but modified to work on their servers. For that reason, even if you have the original on your computer, you should install theirs. There is a way to patch an existing one, but why go through all the trouble? Escargot works on Windows, from XP through 11, and it is completely accessible with NVDA, minus the games, which never worked with screen readers anyway. There are IOS and Android versions, but I have no idea how well they work in general, let alone with VoiceOver or Talkback. If you wish to add me, I am [email protected]. The site can be found here.

  27. Speed test pits six generations of #Microsoft #Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in unscientific comparison
    Six Lenovo ThinkPad X220 laptops were used in the test, featuring a Core i5-2520M CPU and 8GB of RAM, with a 256GB hard drive — running the latest versions of #WindowsXP, #WindowsVista, #Windows7, #Windows8.1, #Windows10, and #Windows11.

    unscientific but still interesting to see bloat!

    Windows 7 can still be patched — ironically — thanks to @kirb who runs the "Legacy Update" legacyupdate.net

    It’s important to note that you won’t receive new updates — rather, "Legacy Update" restores all the content Microsoft removed when they ended support for Windows 7.

    Legacy Update is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (including their equivalent Windows Server editions).

    They also run a sister site called Windows Update Restored, which supports Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, Windows ME, and Windows NT: windowsupdaterestored.com

    I still suggest people try Linux, of course. Running an outdated operating system while connected to the internet carries risks.

  30. It's funny too cos prior to all of that, I had a laptop that had an AMD Athlon X2 QL-64, an NVIDIA 8200M G, and 4 gigs of DDR2-667 RAM. Yes. 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM.

    It was my first ever PC. It was running Windows 7 when I got it. It prolly ran Windows Vista originally but I got Windows 10 to run on it even though the components are from 2008. It's also the device where I first dipped into Linux, starting with Ubuntu 18.04.

  31. I may have caught the #FrutigerAero bug. I also think #WindowsVista and #Windows7 were the best-looking operating systems. Thus, I've been working on a new theme option for Admiral Shark's Keyboards that looks a lot like Aero! Some screenshots of what is to come... WIP, of course.

  32. Kaby Lake #iGPU #Vergleich zwischen Windows 7 (links) und Windows 10 (rechts). #OpenGL 4.6 wurde am 31. Juli 2017 veröffentlicht und wird von #KabyLake unterstüzt. Unter #Windows7 7 bekommt man leider nur die Vorvorgängerversion 4.4 vom 22. Juli 2013. Windows 10 hatte damals auch nur diese uralte OpenGL Version: phoronix.com/review/windows-ka
    Warum das so war bleibt unklar.

  33. Hab gerade im Keller noch ein paar alte Heft-CDs aus der GameStar gefunden, u.a. diese hier aus 2004 mit einer Vollversion des DLH98. Im Original noch gedacht für Windows 98, 2000 oder XP, läuft das Programm bei mir nun in einer Windows 7 VirtualBox unter Windows 11. Retro und so. 😁
