A journey of discovery and development

The Tech Stuff journey began with an avid interest in older style games and operating systems, which offered so much more than their newer variants. From this enthusiasm for older style tech, came the realisation that, just because something was shiny and new, extensively marketed and theoretically popular, didn’t necessarily mean it was better.

Flash games, which achieved peak popularity during the 2000s, were simple yet exciting, very accessible, quick to pick up and put down, and brought an explosion of creativity and innovation from budding independent developers. In contrast, HTML5 games came with large download sizes, and were typically slow, buggy, and complicated.

A similar pattern was emerging with operating systems, with newer versions clearly not focusing on the interests of typical users. Whilst older OSs like Windows 7 were simple and clean, visually appealing and came without tracking, Microsoft’s more recent offerings had become unnecessarily complex, and included unwelcome tracking and preinstalled bloatware, insisting on the setting up of a Microsoft account to hold personal data.

Aware of the downsides to these modern technology trends, a new pathway emerged, which involved looking at how the superior yet older computer games, functions and interfaces could be restored. This laid the foundation for a programmer and software developer now inspired to create tools to improve and simplify things.

So began the next stage of the journey, developing tools which restored these older, more functional designs. One of the earlier projects was to restore internet explorer and flash player on Windows 11, with subsequent projects including ‘upgrading’ from Windows 11 to 10, getting security updates for Windows 7 after the official end of support, and the automated, customisable transformation pack, Revert8Plus.

At the moment, there are several new projects being developed, alongside continued work on Revert8Plus, with many more innovative tools planned for the near future. The project news section on the home page details the latest updates and improvements to these, so check back regularly to keep up to date! The YouTube videos, which demonstrate these projects as they are released, are typically premiered, so if you want interesting and helpful ways to simplify and enhance your PC, then do subscribe to the channel.
