Windows 7 was it. We had no idea how bad they would mess things up with Windows 8… but oh, god… they showed us. Windows 10 was a massive improvement. It wasn’t quite as easy to navigate when compared to Windows 7, but if felt a bit more like a desktop OS… and then there’s Windows 11. We compare Windows 7’s features and ease of use with Windows 10 and Windows 11. Enjoy and let us know why you miss Windows 7. —————————– Discord: discord.gg/vsCxNSD Twitch: www.twitch.tv/midnightdojo/ Twitter: twitter.com/teksyndicate/ For marketing (sponsorship opportunities) inquiries email [email protected] Ask us ANYTHING: [email protected] As an Amazon Associate I may earn from qualifying purchases

youtu.be/cKYZIr1eMQA Store: epicpants.com Music: zweihander.com Website: teksyndicate.com This gun thing is getting out of hand… and people are blaming video games yet again. This debate has been over for 30 years, but many people continue to demonize out hobby. This video cuts through the nonsense and tries to get to the bottom of the gun problems in America.

Check out the video and let me know what you think. Also, PLAY Hollow Knight. It’s amazing.

Here’s what I’m using for it: First, get proxmox: www.proxmox.com/ Then get a computer… I got a Dell Optiplex 9020 like this: www.ebay.com/itm/294370593100 OR maybe a bigger one: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=Dell+Optiplex+9020+Desktop&_sacat=0 Then I got an Intel i7 4790s: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=4790s&_sacat=0 You can also upgrade your DDR3, just make sure you don’t get server memory (no ECC ram here).

It's easily one of the most beautiful games ever made, has an awesome soundtrack, and is dripping with style. The plot may be nonsense, but it's beautiful nonsense that pulls on your brain. The style isn't just skin deep. This game has character and it's characters have character. There's just character everywhere. The little bits of dialog from NPCs, the homages, and the ridiculous nonsense make this something special. Check out the video to see why I think this is worth playing.

Anime Rendering 101: Best HandBrake Settings Explained – H.265 & Opus
GET A VPN you scoundrels! teksyndicate.com/pia Anime rendering is VERY serious business… and that is why I have created this video to help you make the highest quality anime renders at the smallest file sizes. I use h.265 for video, opus for audio, and there’s several tricks to maximize quality. A note on opus for audio: Opus is not supported by every player on the market and some users have had issues with mobile viewing. I watch these files on an Android tablet using Jellyfin OR VLC and have never had any issues, but if you are worried, use AAC. Here’s my video on Jellyfin: Get HandBrake here: github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases Discord: discord.gg/vsCxNSD Twitch: www.twitch.tv/midnightdojo/ Twitter: twitter.com/teksyndicate/ For marketing (sponsorship opportunities) inquiries email [email protected] Ask us ANYTHING: [email protected] Gallery… GRAIN vs ANIMATION! In the galleries below, I have rendered the anime multiple times using different settings. This should act as a guide, so you can decide which tuning to use. The titles will tell you which preset was used (animation, grain, or none). Hope this helps! Ghost in the Shell 1995 (From the 4k Bluray) Neon Genesis Evangelion (Japanese Bluray)

Hardware is just a means to an end. So my first long-form video essay is on Elden Ring, and I think it’s a good topic for many reasons. First, as a newcomer to From Software games, I think my perspective is a little different. Hopefully I can help bridge a gap between the hardcore and the newbies. I had a few great experiences with members of the community… but many toxic experiences. I’ll cover that in the video. Next up, Elden Ring is one of the highest-rated games of all time. I think it’s a great game, but giving it a perfect score is extremely dishonest. I’m curious to know what you think of the video.

We all need to do what we can to secure Windows 10 and 11 because Microsoft isn't doing it for us. Let's go through all the steps one at a time. 1. Secure Windows Account: After you follow the instructions to check your password, enable password when waking from sleep, then press Windows+R and type netplwiz. From here you can disable automatic login and force CTRL+ALT+Delete when logging in. 2. Online Protection: Open Internet Explorer, open your preferences, and go to "internet options." From here, you can crank up the security. 3. Disable Remote Desktop: Hit start, type remote desktop, and make sure it is disabled. 4. Use a VPN with its own DNS server: I use PIA because it's the fastest for the least amount of money... and it also has its own DNS server. A DNS server is used to look up each website. So, if you type, "teksyndicate.com," your DNS server will look at it and direct your browser to the correct IP address. When you use PIA's DNS server, many malicious sites are…
