Thread 106988560

I am still on windows 7

>>106988560 (OP)
Cool stuff, I'd use it if I could. Why Ultimate though and not something like POSready 7? I've heard the latter is basically the 7 equivalent of LTSC.

>>106988585
you can install all POSready 7 updates on any version of win7 so why would I bother reinstalling my OS just to have a different name on it

>>106988560 (OP)
Using an old operating system won't bring back the programs, websites, or their culture and aesthetic or the memories you were experiencing at the time along with the thought processes.

>>106988739
Why would anyone think that? W7 is objectively the best OS.

#metoo anon

>>106988774
It may be, but it is still a relic from a better time and a bygone age. You cannot embody the spirit of a bygone age though.

>>106988799
Why would anyone think that? W7 still remains the best OS in current year.

>>106988560 (OP)
Stay based fren

>>106988818
They are just projecting their sad life on to you.

vxkex is the answer.

>>106988893
Which part of Windows 7 in particular do you find is stuck in the past? It is more usable today than any other OS.

What win7 iso you guys recommend? the one in massgrave? and is there debloat tools for iso/drivers like radeon slimmer and gdelina that just werkz on win7?

>>106988791
so when is the final build of NT 6.1 dropping?

>>106988818
>W7 still remains the best OS in current year
If all you do is jerk off and use old software, sure, but some newer software doesn't run on W7 (PCSX2 stopped supporting W7 when it got good for example)

>>106989213
PCSX2 1.6 is more performant than 2.0+ though.

>>106988774
Windows 8.0 was the best release of Windows, followed by Windows 3.1 and then Windows 95.

>>106989119
Massgrave is pretty much the best source of ISOs for XP and later
And now that MAS has TSforge, you can get a genuine activation for the OS and ESU

>>106989236
Notice how I said IS and not WAS.

>>106989231
>PCSX2 1.6 is more performant than 2.0+ though.
And tons of games are broken
The performance difference is negligible unless you're playing on a 15 year old shitbox

>>106989257
>tons of games are broken
99% are in playable state though.

>>106989316
Sure, games with broken graphics are "playable"

>>106989325
Not enough to justify moving off W7.

>>106988560 (OP)
>I am still on windows 7
And also part of the botnet within 37 mins of stepping online. Well done. Give yourself a goldfish.

>>106988774
>W7 is objectively the best OS.
By what metric? The best to get infected rapidly once it reaches the internet? No, it's beaten by both Vista and XP...

>>106989119
>What win7 iso you guys recommend?
I'd recommend you step out into the corridor, pull your foreskin over your head and fuck some sense into yourself.

>>106989367
>get infected rapidly once it reaches the internet?
w7 has a firewall and connects to the internet via a router.

>>106989379
This stops it from executing code, how?

You do realise the setup you described is remarkably common? As in, pretty much every machine in the botnet has those charactoristics.

At this point, the router is about as likely to be infected unless that's been swapped out in the last few months, as these things are having vulnerabilities leveraged left right and center, with the shoddy ISP-supplied crap causing most of the damage...

>>106989464
Yep.

>>106989484
Then it's pretty shitty malware. The first thing it should be doing is going after SYSTEM level privs, at which point, it doesn't get told 'no'. It's in control.

Luckily, you can't do that in win7 using the builtin truetype fonts. Oh. Wait....

>>106988893
I'd be happy buy new stuff if there were many options and design philosophies besides "You will own nothing, Goyim".

There is. Get modern hardware, run Linux. 99% of games on Steam work just fine out of the box by just telling it to try Proton.

This but i use debian to only play old shit and watch anime

>>106989702
Steam is DRM.

>>106989622
You'd still have to update internel APIs or system policies. Luckily the Windows Filtering Platform prevents this

That Valve themselves don't care about. Buy and download games when they are 90%+ off, then take your machine offline until all its components die of age and use. Valve don't care. No one cares, retard.

Hope you have Avast to surf on the web.

>>106989730
>You'd still have to update internel APIs or system policies.
Actually, you'd have to edit policies to prevent it, and most users don't have a danny that gpedit.msc exists, let alone what they'll do with it. And that still only adds in a layer of friction...

>>106989730
>Why does anon allow webclient through firewall?
'cause them a dribblin' retard what think it's a good idea to use Win7? How should I know why them does what them does. Prolly the sort of person that thinks because they can put milk into the toaster it must be a good idea.

Any other tips for hardening windows 7? XD

>>106989995
Roughneck Maul. It's kinda like a sledgehammer, but the other end is like an axe.

To assume for UEFI, then it's the only way to be sure you get the infection out of the firmwares.

Picrel is also capable of clearing infections from all known 'tardphone models. Compatible with mac too.

the real black pill is that your OS doesnt need "security updates" if you have le common sense

>too poor to upgrade hardware for 11
>too retarded for Linux
These are the only reasons people use out of support versions of Windows. Older versions are objectively worse.

>>106990127
if you update policies and use a firewall you doubly dont need updoots

>>106990127
>the real black pill is that your OS doesnt need "security updates"
No. It *shouldn't* need security updates. If they sold you software that wasn't defective.

>>106990127
Router is where they're going to pwn you. People are so obsessed shilling OSs while entirely ignoring that thing that's actually connected to the outside world and potentially wide open to be pinged and then pwned because normal niggers use the defaults for everything. I'd be willing to bet everyone shilling to go from 7-11 is using stock router firmware on ISP provided hardware that's probably loaded with vulns if not already publicly available to see on search engines like https://www.shodan.io/

Even better I bet they take their garbage hardware and connect it like nothing to public wifi with 0 knowledge of what they're even connecting to. At least 7 fags by definition have to be aware they're on outdated hardware and should be careful. Normal niggers just assume "new" i= secure and bareback connections like it's a public glory hole. Just look at the fucking amount of IOT shit that's been pwned and realize those people are telling you not to run windows 7 because it's "insecure." as if they even know the definition of the word itself.

Windows 7 is as secure as any other OS is though? W11 literally uses the same firewall ruleset as 7 and below did.
Running a virus.exe will infect is as much as any new up-to-date OS, it's indifferent.

>>106996625

Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong board. Sharty is on a different site.

>>106996519
both XP and 7 are still perfectly usable, unless you maybe fell for the meme of modern hardware. And both of them are still better than troonix.
>>106996672
tranny, sophisticated attacks involving some weird exploits do not happen unless you are individually targeted, because they require your attacker to be both motivated and skilled. Those people never target regular people, because its not profitable. And even then, software that is most common target of such attacks (a.k.a. browsers) still receive updoots on Windows 7, as you can run legacy-oriented browsers like supermium or r3dfox, or even run latest official firefox with VxKex. Literally all your attempts to fear-monger legacy gods out of their Windows version of choice can be defeated by the most basic knowledge about computer and threat modeling. Do us a favor and fosgate yourself of the closest bridge.

>>106996672
You do, every infection is through user activity/approval, it won't automatically go through your router into your OS unless the user allows it to, we do not live in < 2008 anymore.
Maybe if your ISP is running on 90s tech sure, but it will still need your approval on the OS side.

>>106997266
>You do, every infection is through user activity/approval
if by activity you mean turning on your computer and connecting it to the internet or viewing any webpage or video or image sure

Clearly not what I meant if you follow the convo, you have to actually execute the malware and allow it to run manually, I have no idea in what world 90% of you people live on /g/ but seems like common sense doesn't exist there.
Those videos where people disable firewalls on their XP/7 installs then purposefully infect them aren't real life examples, you can achieve the same thing on Windows 11 with all updates installed and zero effort.
Using Windows 7 the same way someone would use Windows 11 won't make it become a part of your imaginary botnet or automatically install malware on it, it's literally 1 to 1 the same exact thing, updated or not.

>>106998106
This vulnerability only works if your computer is directly exposes to the internet, with ports open and no firewall. This is not the case for anyone who daily-drives it, because your entire home network is firewalled by default with your ISP router, and most of them won't even allow you to open ports at the first place. Try harder, linux tranny.

If I were you, I would probably stay on 7, unless you really want to use modern hardware. It has better compatibility with software thats actually worth your time (old proprietary software still mogs modern troonix alternatives), has more consistent UI and its easier to re-create your workflow from offline installers if you care (I kinda do).

simplix is Ukrianian troonware (just visit simplix.info and it will become immediately obvious)
I used to use it for integrating usb and nvme drivers into the ISO, but I stopped recently because all the useless updoots it adds along the way bloat up the install.
All you need is Service Pack 1 + SHA2 update (KB4474419) + Platform update (KB2670838) + D3DCompiler update (KB4019990) + DllDirectory update (KB2533623). I've found that all the other updates are basically unnecessary, and if you install all of them then you'll probably accidentally install the telemetry updates as well. And then if you accidentally install the telemetry update you need to go into Services and disable "Diagnostic Tracking Service". I'd rather not have it installed in the first place.

I got windows 7 running in a qube. It seems to be running properly it's just that using it fucking sucks because nothing works. It won't even let me install Tor browser because it says it doesn't work with Windows 7. I'm already pissed off and fed up with this compatibility nightmare.

How do you get "modern" software (that only works on win10) to run on Win7?
I'm sure there's a way to get it to work, it just requires a lot of bullshit and tinkering I imagine

I run torrents and soulseek on my windows 7 machine 24/7. I have three ports fully open and as of AD 2025 no one hacked me yet.
I am still waiting for all the shills who claim I will get hacked in 30 min to do it

>>107000372
Depends which software. Some kinds of software such as Electron/Chromium based apps, Qt6 based apps will work if you install VxKex (from thrashnet.org). The new developer is making lots of progress and even a few simple directx12 games can work on it.
There's actually at least one app that runs on Win11 only which doesn't work on Win10, but does work on Win7 with VxKex. That app is WinDbg from the Windows 11 SDK, which is relevant because it's the first version of windbg to support >4GB PDB files for debugging Chromium and Firefox. Fun example to bring up when 10niggers get uppity.

>>107000535
Have you actually tried looking up your system/router in public databases? It's probably indexed by now and available for everyone to see and target if your ports are wide open like that. I'm not against windows 7 but opening up ports on windows 7 is a bad idea by every objective measurement imaginable, so much so I can't tell if you're just gas-lighting 7 users to do this or if you're actually stupid. Every 7 fag I've met has been smarter than you

>>107002593
up to date, use this

https://github.com/dotexe1337/VxKex/

he know personally the original developer.

ignore the rest.

>>107002784
>just run some guy's .exe jeetware
lol
it's literally Open Sores Software and you can compile it yourself if you're such a schizo. Easier than compiling software on Linux, because you just install visual studio and press F7.
>>107002825
Do not use the dotexe1337 github. Use thrashnet.org since he moved off github. it's the same dev, just a different site.
Original i486 repo is legit but it's an old version and doesn't support some stuff. If you already installed it and it works for you, then keep using it.

>>107002849
>Old Versions / Source Code:
>Old versions and source code for VxKex can only be downloaded from the THRASHNET FTP server.
ok this is based

>>107002849
>it's literally Open Sores Software and you can compile it yourself if you're such a schizo
so was openssl. just sayin'.

>>106988585
I cant even install jeetware in this bitch because the version of IE it shipped with is so old it can't display modern webpage cancer properly

>>107002849
when i found out moment ago that he deleted his github. i thought.. well fuck.

thanks. i'm glad i posted it. and also glad you assure that it's the same dev.

will bookmark.

do you retards think hackers are sending packets to every IP in the hopes of finding a windows 7 machine?
unless someone knows your IP and knows you are using 7, they can't infect your OS without you clicking something.

>>107002895
you can use ie8 or older to download supermium, which you can then use to browse the web
win32subsystem.live/supermium
personally I recommend version 124 r2, because the newer versions kind of suck in various ways like ugly UI (thanks jewgle) or bad performance.
>>107002879
retard
>>107002938
yeah it's the same dev (dotexe1337)
this is why open source software was a mistake, because people can just spam out infinite forks of the software that look completely legit but may or may not be good quality code. just look at Jeethub and see how many random forks are out there.
should've just kept the source code private because no users actually read the source code anyway

>>106998594
obviously a vm
stop larping fag

I still have windows 98 and XP machines that i connect to the internet and so far have not been infected

(i use them for old synths and vidya cart flashing)

how do I unsubscribe from your blog

>>107001300
Only if you're enough of a 65iq shitskin animal to use it out of the box without updooting, patching, unpozzing and securing it with quality third party applications.

There's no scenario where a correctly serviced Win7 installation is in any way more likely to be compromised than anything released afterwards. In fact, it's substantially less so due to it's telemetry (all can be turned off) not being as deeply entrenched.

8/10/11 are fundamentally DVD-size rootkits.

And this is coming from a current POSReady 2009 user.

the vulnerabilities hackers use are the ones put in there on purpose for the NSA and Mossad to use, you are safer on windows 7 than you are on 10 or 11. that is if you are using a machine that doesn't have a backdoor built into the hardware.

>>107003638
>do you retards think hackers are sending packets to every IP in the hopes of finding a windows 7 machine?
yes

>>107003830

>>107003807
>updooting, patching, unpozzing and securing it with quality third party applications
Elaborate on all of the four points please

the amount of people running an old OS and storing important data on it is so small that it isn't worth hackers time or effort

>>107003835
>thousands of lines over hundreds of files, vetted by who?
I may be personally biased because I wrote tens of thousands of lines of that code before it was handed over to the fork developers, but yeah, I'm personally very confident there's no malware in it
>>107003860
They don't usually go for the data but they do use them for ddos attacks and automated ad clicking and shit like that. The reason you're unlikely to get infected is that most malware these days depends on tricking the user into clicking on some .exe or other executable file type.
Super hackerman shit like crafting malicious pdf or mp4 files that exploit memory vulnerabilities in applications are very rare because it's a lot easier to just trick some retard into clicking FREE PORN.rar.exe

So why the fuck are people still running Windows 7? Is it for nostalgia? If not what is it for? Why not make the switch to Linux while you can or like me run Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC?

>>107003892
for me it's because linux crashes on my laptop and windows 8 is too modern for it

>>107003848
Updooting: Get the latest service pack and all the updates.

Patching: A number of third party patches exist that correct issues never addressed by microsoft.

Unpozzing: Get rid of telemetry and useless services that widen the attack vector.

Securing it with quality third party applications: A decent third party firewall will go a long way (built in one is an unredeemable mess). Better browsers, etc.

>>107003922
>Updooting: Get the latest service pack and all the updates.

your ISP is already doing that for you
as for browsers you have no other choice than a furry pedo chrome fork lmao

>>107003892
First normal release of Windows that finally figured out 64 bit support and was much more stable than previous releases, works fine on potato hardware, even one from XP era, and was pretty much the last version released before microsoft started making Windows progressively worse.
>b-b-b-but muh troonix
No, we will not use this barely working tranny cesspool.
>>107003983
thorium and r3dfox also work fine on Windows 7.

I'm sure your shady hack for a vulnerable OS is not malware

windows 7 trannies will screech about "muh networking" but then willingly install malware like the retarded 80 year old boomers they make fun of

>>107004514
Linux is malware, deal with it. Linux kernel is full of malware and backdoors put there by the NSA and by the CCP. XZ has backdoors installed by Xi Jinping. OpenSSL has Russian back doors in the algorithms.
Write your own OS or fuck off from this thread

>>107004535

>>107004549
Linux is a vulnerable, deprecated OS full of bugs and malware. Anyone is free to add their own backdoors and malware into the Open-Source code. You can just submit a pull request in Github and get your malware added to any Linux package. You can add random crap to Node.js repositories and the AUR and instantly deploy malware to millions of systems worldwide. Face it, Linux sucks.

What's the best way to get a telemetry free windows 7 system in 2025?

Thinking of putting 7 back on my 2011 PC along with Creative Suite 6 and just keeping it offline

>>107004579
keeping it offline is a good start

>>107004579
don't install updates newer than 2013
>>107004597
nigger?

>>107001197
it is not indexed. you are just a retarded shill pretending to sound smart
nothing ever happens to win7 users because if it did, it would've happened already to me

>>107004646
if you use w7 outside an offline setting you are retarded sorry

>>107004855
how are you supposed to download programs without going online?

>>107004991
installed from local media usually
e.g. a cdrom or attaching an extra hard drive
of course you have to download the software onto the media beforehand via a system it is more reasonable to connect to the internet

>>106988739
True. Anyone that's calling you a zoomer is coping.

sidenote but you also realize how bad the w7 window manager is if you ever used a decent linux window manager

>minimize a window with a keypress? easy
>resize a window without having to aim for the edges or corners? easy
>move a window by just holding down a key like super without having to hit the titlebar? easy
>workspaces out of the box? easy
>want the window focus to be separate from window raising or have window focus follow the cursor without clicking? easy

it is actually frustrating how bad the w7 (and w10, probably w11 too) window managers are

not to mention
>customizing/editing keyboard layouts without needing to download external microsoft tools
>

>>107005264
lol I got bored of adding examples at the end there oops
I think I was going to say something about alt+f4 or the windows key

>>107005162
the whole point of using windows 7 is to not have to use troonix or modern windows

>>106988560 (OP)
Can you install it on new hardware yet?

>>107005305
that does not sound like a valid use case for w7
use it as an offline station to run apps but dont use it online as a daily driver lol

>>107005325
your reasoning?

>>107005373
it is ill-advised to expose software that no longer receives security patches to an open network

>>107005325
>use case
FOSS tranny mentality. You get the benefit of software and hardware compatibility, the whole point of windows, without all the faggotry of modern releases.
>>107005410
Literally nothing will happen to you as long as you are not clinically retarded.

Windows 7 doesn't have telemetry tho

>>106988560 (OP)
But anon, by running an outdated windows OS, we are not providing Microsoft(tm) with valuable telemetry while depriving them of precious avenues for delivering ads as well as restricting the growth of important revenues streams such as Cloud services and AI integration!
Think of the stockholders!!!

Should I use Ultimate or POSReady?

>>107001197
Having a random port open on which a single application listens (your torrent software) is not a big deal imo. There is a slight risk your torrent software can be exploited but usually that would only happen if you use the port for some kind of server, not just torrenting.

I see a dozen Windows Vista and 7s at work every day used by babyboomers and they never have any noticeable security issues other than they themselves literally installing junk with popups intentionally.
If they get "hacked" it's just social engineering making them do every single step of a wire transfer or creating a whatsapp account to get their passwords changed by the random indian.
Not a single scenario would be prevented by having a fully updated OS.

So, what issues are actually affecting people in an old OS like Windows 7?

>>107006183

>So, what issues are actually affecting people in an old OS like Windows 7?

Security-wise? Functionally none. Hardware is technically the only limiting factor, and that's only if you stick to "approved" drivers like a good goy. Otherwise W7 can and will run anything

>>106988560 (OP)
stop bragging black ass

>>107004579
Spybot anti-beacon is decent and patches the host file as well if so desired

There's a list of telemetry-linked KB's floating around as well

For browsers, people are forking FF Nightly for W7 specifically (not talking about spermium/redfox etc). You can literally use "modern" Troonfox on W7 without any issues.

>>106998594
>no telemetry
7 has telemetry, also Vista.
XP and older don't have telemetry.

>>107008531
That fact that this retarded shitskin thought he didn't, kind of makes a case (albeit very small) for troonix. Tech illiterate people are never safe irrespective OS, but there's levels of pozzification, and Win7 telemetry is no joke, even if it's not nearly as involved as anything that came afterwards.

GOG is great and you should support them. For years and years they were the only ones selling copies of Quake that actually had the fucking soundtrack in it. Also, when they are forced to delist a game they let people who already bought it keep it in their library so only people who never got around to buying it get deprived.
