Best VLC version for stable, skip free FLAC playback
I've found modern VLC to not like FLAC files for some reason. There will be random delays or skips. This appears to have been fixed at some point between 3.0.19 and 3.0.20, but got unfixed in release 3.0.20. I found this nightly in-between version to be nice and stable with no issues for me. Audio i...

Classic iPods aren't practical, and aren't worth using.
I say this as someone who just a few months ago listened to music with an iPod Video 5.5 inside a iPod Classic 6 shell with an iFlash Solo with a 256GB SD card. Also this post won't go into streaming, since if you're considering an iPod, you need a local music collection. You also should keep all yo...

glxgears for Windows (XP+)
I've wanted to have glxgears on Windows, but there exists no compiled versions of it. So I went and compiled it myself. https://github.com/K4sum1/windows-glxgears-built/releases/tag/1.0 This works on Windows XP and later, maybe 2000, not sure. It was built with Visual Studio 2012 since that was the ...

Windows XP/2003 (NT 5.2) Updated (Beta 2)
Main Info These ISOs are released in a beta state. They mostly work, but don't have all the features I want yet, or can be buggy. For example, the USB 3 drivers aren't the best, only 2003 x86 has UDF 2.5 drivers, 2003 x86 doesn't recognize new USB devices without rebooting with stock USB drivers, R...

Sound Blaster ExpressCard audio cards for laptops
To start this off, you're probably going to want the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook (SB0710), unless you absolutely need ExpressCard 34 compatibility. Even then a cheap USB DAC would probably be good enough, combined with a USB hub if you don't have enough USB ports. It's what I currently ...

Modern AMD GPUs on NT 6.x is a mixed bag
Not sure if this is 8.1 only, but in further testing later, I've found the AMD card seems less smooth compared to my Nvidia card. Test game is Skyrim locked to half refresh rate on my 144Hz monitor. (72 FPS)

Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 on Windows 7 (and 8)
To note, Cyberpunk 2077 loads slower and performs a lot worse on Windows 7/8 than it does on Windows 10+. GPU usage seems to be low for seemingly no reason. If this is a VKD3D issue or some sort of artificial limitation, I'm not sure. If you can figure out a fix, it would be appreciated. Also this d...

You could fix the issues with later 5.2.x builds, and compile a fixed 5.2.40 or whatever without hardening and maybe the 4.x UI as well. Would be best VirtualBox.

Either wrong QT6 ver or they use a special version. Maybe compiling a version with the QT6 patches and using those dlls for later releases could work.

Alternative game stores and why you should use them
With Steam dropping Windows 7/8 support, it's probably a good idea to suggest an alternative, the main alternative being GOG. GOG has some pretty massive advantages over Steam. One of them is that you don't need any client, or to deal with any DRM to play a game you own. As long as you have your gam...
