The most important part: > Last week it was exactly 2000 days (5.5 years) since I have taken over MPC-HC development, so a good time to finally make the bump to version 2.0.0.0. Donations are appre…

It's funny in 2004 he mentioned that filesystem and registry are a mess. In Windows 11 they are an absolute mess. Thousands upon thousands of files/directories scattered all around the syste…

IF you find a way to reproduce this issue on another device or using any online service (I've tried two and both said it looked perfect), I'll check it out. Actually you're the only use…

My hardware often works literally for over a decade. If being frugal and taking care of your devices is "antiproductive" for you, I'm a little bit concerned but it's up to you anyw…

BTC donation button was posted for two years - zero people donated. And if we're talking about hard cash, nothing for Russia works nowadays AFAIK. Patreon certainly doesn't work: https:…

I completely flushed system buffers prior to getting the results (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches), so the free RAM that I posted is indeed absolutely free yet it cannot be re…

I cannot imagine my life without systray, sorry. At the moment I have a metric ton of apps in it (I use pretty much all of them): * System Volume * CPU/Wi-Fi module temperatures * Clipboard manag…

If we go down this route no comparison will ever be "valid". That's why this is strictly for Fedora 37 as of December 11th, 2022. :-) If you have your own distro resuts to share, I will…
