Compression: Powerachiver 2006 9.5

Video Players: Media Player Classic primarily, VLC as a backup

Video Codecs: DivX Player, Koepi's Xvid, ffdshow-MPEG4, RealOne, QuickTime 7

Audio Players: Windows Media Player 10, used to use Winamp 5 (because of the autohide feature), iTunes just for the music sharing feature

Image Editing: Paint

Audio Editing: Audacity, dBpowerAmp

Mount: Daemon Tools, used to be MagicISO but that didn't work with Vista, I'm using XP now but sticking to Daemon because it's easier to keep the same software.

Burning: Ashampoo Burning Studio 5.5

Downloads: Primarily uTorrent and eMule, but also DC++, KCEasy (Gnutella 1, Ares, FastTrack and OpenFT all in one) and Soulseek (I use the test version because earlier versions from 155 didn't work with Nod32)

FTP: SmartFTP

Text Editing: Microsoft Word 12 Beta, Word 2003 and OpenOffice 2, probably gonna phase 2003 out if OpenOffice does everything as well, I like the export to PDF feature

Browser: Maxthon 1.5.2 and IE7 Beta 2, I have used both Opera 8.5 and K-Meleon, but I'm not using either for the time being, I like Opera because it's nice to have common ground on Linux, and I haven't found any global mouse gesture software for linux, K-Meleon has StrokeIt support which is my mouse gesture program of choice, and it's also the second most customisable browser (next to Maxthon).

Passwords: RoboForm

File Manager: Windows Explorer and ExplorerXP

Communication: Windows Live Messenger 8 Beta, ICQLite 5, Yahoo! Messenger 7.5 Beta, I usually use Trillian for AIM but I'm still deciding whether I should install it or not.

Anti-Virus: Nod32 primarily, also Avast since it has monitors specifically for filesharing and IM.

Anti-Spyware: WinPatrol, used to have MS Anti-Spyware but haven't had a need for it yet with WinPatrol

Firewall: BlackICE, it's a packet filtering firewall, so it doesn't produce all the annoying popups other firewalls do, which makes them more of a usage niusance than the malware usually is.

Other Security: AntiHook and ShadowSurfer

Partitioning: Acronis Disk Director Suite

Backup: Acronis True Image

Defrag: Perfect Disk

Utilities: jv16 Power Tools 1.3, CCleaner

    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094149 / KB5095971 / KB5094156 Setup, Recovery updates by Sayan Sen Earlier this week Microsoft released its newest Patch Tuesday updates (KB5094126 / KB5093998 on Windows 11 and KB5094127 on Windows 10). Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company writes: "KB5095185: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 9, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2269.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
    • Three days after Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 as the most capable AI model it had ever released to the public, the United States government ordered it switched off — and now the company is refunding customers who paid to use a product that vanished almost overnight https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318342/20260613/us-government-pulls-anthropics-fable-5-offline-now-come-refunds-vanished-ai.htm
