Typically I rest on the weekends and try to keep it under 5 miles. (I also avoid any other workouts during the weekend). I also rely on Indiana's weather to remind me to rest lol.
Most days I walk 10-13 miles but I think my top was 25miles ish.
Are you getting new shows often enough? Do you wear the same ones everyday? Rotating through two, or even three pairs given your mileage, might be a good idea.
Plantar fasciitis has come into chat. Holy I could never my feet are killing me at 20 working at a restaurant doing three doubles in a row and some other work. Finally got some money thought to get good shoes.
Been trying to stretch and rest but man my calves are just so tight.
In terms of security, this system today is as leaky as a sieve, in every aspect, even in the local network. If you are connected to internet or you connect to external network, avoid 7 at all cost. For example very dangerous methods like reverse shell (taking over your computer remotely) can be done with 7 without problem. I suppose you will have also problems with outdated root SSL certificates.
If you have very old rig, install linux with GUI instead 7.
While I haven't run it, KDE Neon is good, and it has KDE Plasma which is such a close match for Windows 7. But there are other options for other distros, some more a theme, some with apps as well.
What is the purpose of such comment. Almost everything send some data, windows 7 wasnt exception. Your mobile phone with software or IoT, TV, streaming platforms send also huge amount of your data. What is most funny is that people complaining about windows gathering data are at the same time so lazy, they don't even bother to buy firewall or at least be interested in DNS protection which could block most tracking/personal data.
I enjoy tinkering my Windows 7 rigs from time to time. I even had a stardock skin that made Windows 11 look like Windows 7.
It seems like modern skins feel better with dark mode, while classic operating systems seem to feel better with light mode in mind. Probably from the older monitor technologies being darker.
That awkward time when we still kinda needed the motherboard driver CD to install network drivers so we could go on the internet, but many PCs started shipping without optical drives 😂
I mean it is insecure but its not like your PC will blow up if you connect it to the internet, assuming you immediately download any modern sandboxed browser to do your web surfing, dont host as a server connected to the internet, and dont do anything sketchy.
Maybe you should. How's it going to distribute malware if I just turn it on and go to trusted websites? Outside of a very small risk of compromise via some other means.
You should educate yourself a bit on the topic, this is very wrong. You dont just get hacked immediately unless its a publicly exposed server, or you're doing something sketchy/using outdated browsers as well. With a modern browser, its sandboxed and you can't typically execute commands on a system without a vulnerability in the browser, which are rare but often are immediately patched. Even then, it'd have to get past AV.
Regarding just putting it on the internet, you dont just hack a computer doing nothing other than being on unless the firewall has been opened a bit and its publicly hosting something on the vulnerable OS, which isn't something a normal user tends to do unless they know what they're doing. You have to pivot through the router, firewall, VPN, or whatever the network edge is. The only real threat with what you mentioned is drive by compromise using a very outdated browsers with updates turned off, and visiting untrusted sites.
Lol, I have been running win7 ultimate on my pentium pc for around a decade. No signs of virus and trojans. Usually play nfsmw or minecraft on it these days. Earlier used to do game dev on unity5.
I recently installed on an older box to run sagetv, it works great but the registration servers are no longer available so always that annoying pop up about genuine windows.
Best operating system ever. Really good times in every aspect. Now Win11 with every update is worse and worse. Last time I’ve painfully found out that there is a Windows 11S. A wet dream of MS. Awful.
😂 I was playing on this last night. Went over to my mothers house for Christmas abd she found her laptop and it was rocking win 7. Not sure ic it’s something windows update has done her laptop had nothing on it I open up to check the fan which was clean for thermal control and the laptop was unusable it was click something and effect would happen up to 10 seconds after.
I was telling her that window 7 was the best back in the day it was insane going on it again. Plus I don’t know building PCs around this time and pre 7 like XP or ME a windows offical license used to cost like nearly £200 so buying all the parts in pc world back in the day a good chunck of the build budget needed to include windows. Unless you had them old programs that were called keygen 😜
I thought about doing the same with my copy of Vista ultimate but quickly realized my 64bit disc was cooked. 11 is just fine, sadly enough. It's optimized so much better then 10 but difficult to compare to 7 being so outdated already. Modern games requiring 11 and it's security features is shit though.
I don't have a lot of issues with it. Everything works..
But it's also my work so I adapt.. it is getting worse quickly now though, with pushing copilot down my throat..
It's not like I have a real choice anyway. A lot of my software is windows or Mac only (and no way I'm going for Mac) so Linux isn't an option yet. Steam is helping its popularity immensely though so who knows.. hopefully soon I can migrate to Linux.
I mean it wasn't really stabile, but it worked like a charm.
I like GUI and many tweak i had, but man how easy was to fuck it up, it was enough that power went out during some kernel background process and it was done for, reinstall or recovery
If you have a VM, why not
Fuck that packaging reminds me of back when I did not hurting every time I moved
Stretch and go for walks daily. It’ll make a big difference
Oh my friend, I hurt because I walk.... a lot (tele therapist who hikes when they work)

What’s your recovery like? Do you do that much daily? You might be able to do an ultra if that’s your baseline

I rotate when possible, during an Indiana winter it can be more difficult...unless you want to buy a bunch of boots.
Typically I replace a pair within 3 months....it's still cheaper than ram lol.
I struggle with 10,000 steps... what you're doing is excellent.
Plantar fasciitis has come into chat. Holy I could never my feet are killing me at 20 working at a restaurant doing three doubles in a row and some other work. Finally got some money thought to get good shoes.
Been trying to stretch and rest but man my calves are just so tight.
That was about 6 years ago for me when I started walking. Shoe inserts saved me...and massage balls.
Will look into it thanks. Yeah it just recently came back as a problem. I’m a runner and only had it during track I would heal strike.
Dude holy shit how are you so fucking chill?
Because I walk a lot, shoot pictures, and commit acts of unspeakable violence in Night City.

I hold my head in shame
Had a stroke reading this
Lol I could have done a better job writing that, but I'll need more coffee.

Linux Mint is fairly similar as well.
Whereas modern Windows only leaks to Microsoft Approved Data Gatherers.

If you have evidence of Microsoft being able to open a reverse shell to Windows 11 machines, you should probably hit up Reuters or something
thats just bs. i used windows 7 some years ago and connected to the internet. nothing happened
I also had unprotected sex a bunch and didnt get an STI.
What a smooth brain fucking comment lmao
Ultimate Edition ftw
hop on purble place
Yeah, it is a nice playthrough and guides are available, too.

Where do you find old drivers?
I had good luck with "driverscollection" for my old HP laptops. They had all the CTO drivers I needed to even get my old HDX 9000 going.
Will check. Thanks.
That awkward time when we still kinda needed the motherboard driver CD to install network drivers so we could go on the internet, but many PCs started shipping without optical drives 😂
Hell no! And if you do, DON'T CONNECT TO THE INTERNET!
Reading this feels like (previously it was Windows XP who had that warning):
It won't be that bad.
I mean it is insecure but its not like your PC will blow up if you connect it to the internet, assuming you immediately download any modern sandboxed browser to do your web surfing, dont host as a server connected to the internet, and dont do anything sketchy.
Maybe you should Google that before your PC starts distributing malware.
Maybe you should. How's it going to distribute malware if I just turn it on and go to trusted websites? Outside of a very small risk of compromise via some other means.
I ran win 7 for almost 2 or 3 years iirc after support ended. Gmail, reddit, news, steam.
Comments like above just show how paranoid some are - stay off prons and stop downloading stupid shit and you'll be fine.
why not?
It's only dangerous if you're hosting a public server which exposes you to anyone searching for hardware to exploit.
You PC will get infected after seconds! 10 minutes, and you have a collection of viruses and Trojans.

not true. i used windows 7 before 2022 and it never gotten a virus without downloading questionable software
I'm technically still running Win7 pro. With the free Win10 pro update
Me too!
I remember beta testing Windows 7. After beta, was gifted 7 Ultimate, Win10 Pro free upgrade, in turn free Win11 upgrade.
I recently installed on an older box to run sagetv, it works great but the registration servers are no longer available so always that annoying pop up about genuine windows.
Window 3.1 is more stable.
Sadly, activation servers are down, so you would have to use crack for this(
That would be a bad choice. Like the choice to actually pay for their software in the first place
Classic is Windows 3.1 :)
Absolutely
Best operating system ever. Really good times in every aspect. Now Win11 with every update is worse and worse. Last time I’ve painfully found out that there is a Windows 11S. A wet dream of MS. Awful.

first alt+f4 your underwear, control alt delete your immune system
Has not had updates for years so I would not recommend outside of a VM.
I think you can upgrade that license to Windows 11.
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...
damn...
In a VM, perhaps
Sure.
Just... make sure to leave an air gap.
Not if you like browsing the internet, nope, nuh uh
As long as you stay offline, go for it.
Never, ever connect it to the internet.
Yes but keep internet off
Don't do it with an Internet connection, unless you have a Wireshark probe setup to watch the show
Would your hardware even be able to run it?
I wanted to go with windows 7 for my PC when I built it like 10 years ago and Windows 7 was told old even then.
I remember when my PC was running W7 when I went to bed, and woke up with it running W10.
I was so confused and a bit pissed off 😂
I thought about doing the same with my copy of Vista ultimate but quickly realized my 64bit disc was cooked. 11 is just fine, sadly enough. It's optimized so much better then 10 but difficult to compare to 7 being so outdated already. Modern games requiring 11 and it's security features is shit though.
Malwarebytes still offers full protection for Windows 7. I'd use that.
No sir. Lol
go for it i still use a old win7 laptop just for email but it works
I mean, you have it so why not just do it for the heck of it
Even in a VM on a SSD the UI of Windows 7 feels faster and more responsive than the XAML parts of Windows 11.
Sure, just don’t connect to the internet.
No you shouldn’t
Probably still runs games designed for win11 better than win11
No it won't
Its a joke (on the internet mb)
Windows 11 does suck mega balls tho
I don't have a lot of issues with it. Everything works..
But it's also my work so I adapt.. it is getting worse quickly now though, with pushing copilot down my throat..

Best one, go for it.
Never Again
Why?
I mean it wasn't really stabile, but it worked like a charm.
I like GUI and many tweak i had, but man how easy was to fuck it up, it was enough that power went out during some kernel background process and it was done for, reinstall or recovery
lol he bought Windows
Any reason why the packaging is green it should be blue as it's everywhere in win 7
i think home edition was always green, and pro was blue, and ultimate was black? could be wrong tho.
Edit : confirmed with google https://img.hexus.net/v2/news/microsoft/windows7-boxes-2.jpg
