I've been using some 3rd party dark theme for a while but it just made the backgrounds of various windows light grey, I tried to use the built-in win7 dark mode and it was awesome, but it disabled the visual styles, and this caused tearing and stutter in most fullscreen programs I use, I don't know how they are connected but I'm looking for a theme that has fully black backgrounds that also enables the visual styles thing. target ( but with visual styles ): looking for a dark theme with this enabled:

no actually, is it a separate app?

I have been using PIA for the past 2-3 years and I am still thinking whether or not to renew my subscription, the reason is that PIA is low-key stopping their support for Win7 but otherwise the service is okay. I am well aware of the shortcomings of Win7 but for the foreseeable future I am going to be using it, so please don't list the solution as switching to Win 10 because it's not viable for now. if you are in a similar situation I would like to hear about the options available, I have been thinking about other providers( NordVPN etc...) but I don't know much about them. I contacted the PIA VPN support service multiple separate times regarding this issue and it seems to have degraded since I first subbed to this service, I did not engage with them other that one time when I first subbed regarding a separate issue and two or three separate times regarding Win7 support and the service degraded comparatively, just regurgitating copy-paste arguments refusing to admit right-out that I cannot receive updates for the application when I run on Win7 anymore, they just gave me a link to the latest supported version for Win7 that didn't even work lol.

So my PC just got infected with this shit!! from what I took from Linus's vid about the topic and Acronis, such programs are just for preventing the threat not rolling it back right?, I have the most important stuff backed up but not everything, if anyone knows how to decrypt that thing to get the data back I would be very appreciative I was thinking personally of disconnecting all the HDDS and formatting my SSD and install a new copy of windows on it, get it ready with a good protection software and then connect the HDDs with the encrypted data to try and see what can be done for recovery. Any tips/tricks would be welcome.

Compared to the pics you can find with a quick search on Google, I think this Drive is under-performing a bit, it's plugged it a 6Gbs sata socket, is there something I could to or something to turn on/off? I also have it named H:/ for testing and if all goes well I should be reinstalling windows on it soon

I was thinking of powering all 6 fans from one socket since they are all intake, and have the rest as exhaust on another socket in order control all intake at once and same with exhaust

the fans are already PWM, but what if they are too many? I don't want them drawing power from a motherboard socket in this case. I just want to power them from the power supply directly and have control over the rpm at the same time

I checked many PWM splitters that have a molex for power and a PWM for control, but most reviews say that it offers no control, just displays RPM plus most of these splitters are low quality and will malfunction over the long run, so if you have a fan controller which you tried and worked good or any other idea that works please share
