You mean those agenda driven articles and "numbers" where they tell the climate didn't change? Well, I'll tell you, it did, it got much warmer, what's wrong with the talk from our own experience?

Because it's connected to the climate, girls aren't fools, they choose the best, including the climate! I once had another location shown (Paris) to mask my real one, and I got less messages, even though I was younger, much younger.

We need to take Climate Change seriously
NotHereToPlayGames replied to Dibya's topic in General Discussion
I'm done here. For one, that's TOO MANY posts where you ego-chest-pound dating profiles/apps. For two, "bad air doesn't come here" is just so narrow-focused and misguided that I "have no comment" outside of "So what, the tree-covered mountain in CHINA will NEVER put CHINA at the top of any Most Eco-Friendly countries and NOR DOES THE WIND IN YOUR SMALL AREA OF FRANCE, a country that is NOT DOING SO WELL at meeting climate agreements even NAMED AFTER one of its most popular tourist-attraction cities". Your arguments are subjective versus fact-based. Start showing FACTS from renown global sources regarding "bad air doesn't come here" and we may possibly resume this "discussion". But at this point, I DOUBT IT, it's just gonna keep reverting to DATING PROFILES. - Today

Yes, this was possible with ImmersiveMenus=2 or DarkMagicDLL=0 registry tweaks

The bad air doesn't come here, it's because of the wind direction. When I add moi location to the dating profile, I immediately get 1000000 bonus points. Try adding your town, see the reaction. And I thought the most polluted country was Russia. See what cars they use, they don't even enforce modern Euro norms. Oh, I know where I can drive my BMW R75. Visit Kursk region on my BMW R75? What do you think of this idea? I'd have to re-paint it to feldgrau then, it's currently in Afrika Korps colour, to match the sandy beaches.

I bought this one, but the price came up now, it varies, it may also go down. https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/p/3509-5DM then removed the HDD and inserted into this box. https://fantecshop.de/en/p/fantec-db-alu3-6g -
After updating to Version 3.9.3 I am now seeing proper options displayed when I right click on the taskbar with Enhanced Classic Taskbar enabled. I didn't make any other changes, glad to have this issue resolved. Thanks for the support!

I haven't seen anything like that happen so far, thank goodness. So you're saying that just going into the Disk Management on XP causes the partition on your 6TB disk to vanish? Does it not appear at all, or does it appear and then disappear? Presumably it's gone in Device Manager too?

Thanks, can you tell me the exact model so I can take a look? Although I'm afraid that these boxes won't allow me to work in Windows 2000/XP with +2TiB disks as Western Digital boxes do, up to 16 Tb, by moving the logical sector from 512 bytes to 4096 bytes. -

NotHereToPlayGames replied to Dibya's topic in General Discussion
Doesn't matter, in my opinion. Pollution is ranked by country and France is doing worse then USA. It's that simple. There are very VERY likely cities/towns here in the USA (I may even live in one of them!) that have the *LEAST* amount of pollution, be it per square mile or be it per capita, but they do NOT get "special recognition" if they are part of a State with massive pollution. Pollution is pollution, it "diffuses" across all of the State, across all of France, et cetera. NONE OF US LIVE IN A VACUUM. France is a high-pollutant country, *overall*. So is the USA. So is Canada. So is Mexico. So is China. I cannot scour the country of China and pick an awesome tree-covered mountain and claim China is "very special, cool, fine, and dandy" based on the climate of that tree-covered mountain. -
I have found a new problem working with GPT in Windows XP. Nothing serious if we take the appropriate precautions and also have Windows Vista updated or higher. I found it strange, since the error has not happened to me before. Right now I have the 6 Tb GPT hard disk to which I have only made a 1 TiB partition and left the rest of the space empty. When I open the Windows XP Disk Manager the partition disappears immediately, without performing any additional operation. To prevent losing the partitions I suggest making a partition table copy with Eassos DiskGenius from Windows Seven or higher in the menu Disk>Backup Partition Table. If you do not have a partition table copy, you can recover it with this same program from the menu Tools>Search for Partitions , choosing the Whole Disk option and in the search, clicking on "Reserve" when the appropriate partitions appear. If you know of another suitable program to make a partition table copy, please comment. The pity is that we need Windows Vista or higher or use a bootable CD with a program, since once the partitions are lost in XP the hard disk only shows a capacity of 1493 Gb, so we need to boot an operating system that recognizes the real disk capacity. Maybe it is possible from XP with DMDE, but I don't do it.

Yes, that's what I also told, but these days all ready-made disks kinda suck, so I prefer to purchase an aluminium storage box separately, then insert a reliable HDD inside. These days, I have to choose Hitachi owned by WD, I showed you the screen after 5 years on, it's still going strong. The boxes I buy for them are: Fantec eSATA 6G The original plastic Box from "my Book" I throw away. -

Cixert replied to Cixert's topic in Hard Drive and Removable Media
Yes, thanks. I bought this hard disk a few months ago and I hadn't used it yet. I hope that the new Western Digital drives are reliable as you say, since in the past I have found otherwise. I'm going to try. Indeed according to BackBlaze, the most reliable is HGST and Western Digital. Although they also list a Seagate drive that has not yet any breakdown. https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/resources/hard-drive-test-data -
I live in a very special part of France, you can look up at my profile info. everything is cool here, fine and dandy. It's a magnet for 18 y.o. females, especially if add the noble D.Draker to the mix. The climate here is unique, and the city is under UNESCO. Under no circumstances show my profile to any of your seven daughters.

Getting malware from router, etc.

I was replying to the specific condition where an infected PC is put onto the network that contains a router. Those router issues you speak of come either that way from manufacturing, from a bad firmware update or from the internet. -
StartAllBack 3.9.3 StartAllBack is now available in MS Store, but that install/update method is discouraged.

The problem starts with version 127, it looks like chrome.dll is not able to create any process. because after substituting chrome.dll along with the kernel32 wrapper (and nothing more) by cracker who you probably known, D.Draker, from github, the browser starts up. Unfortunately the information that x64dbg gives me at this stage of my knowledge doesn't give me much.

this is really interesting.. and yes on windows "10" build 9888 it works without --no-sandbox flag, just needs the virtualalloc hack. will definitely try the widevine method you mentioned. really cool.

NotHereToPlayGames replied to Dibya's topic in General Discussion
It's not working. France (and the US, in all fairness) EXCEEDS WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION GUIDELINES ON POLLUTION CONCENTRATION https://www.iqair.com/us/world-most-polluted-countries I basically have to assume that "pollution" and "toxins" are one-in-the-same. Seems a reasonable assumption. France is #99 on the list of most polluted countries. USA is not much better, but at #102 the USA can claim to be doing BETTER than France. But what is *MORE* important as far as this list goes (to me anyway) is that Canada is #93 and Mexico is #46. I'll say it again, IT'S ALL RELATIVE. -
Yes, right, it's the highest I could get working on Vista, do you know what prevents 126 from starting. even on Win 8?

In France, it would assume the material is non-toxic, and doesn't produce toxins and hazardous fumes when degrade overtime.

Opera will probably work up to around version 110 (Chromium 125?) with DWrite.dll from Windows 10, replacing DiscardVirtualMemory with VirtualAlloc (or what I also recently discovered, DiscardVirtualMemory is in 8.1 in kernelbase.dll, so you can add by ExportTableTester redirection to this function in kernel32.dll exports and using it for opera_browser.dll e.g. as kernel33.dll) and with --no-sandbox. This is completely pointless due to depriving the browser of security, but for viewing DRM content you can do so. In my case, interestingly enough, DRM works on 8.1 after copying the widvine from Firefox to any compatible browser on Chromium. Does it work without --no-sandbox? If so, the differences are unfortunately much greater than DWrite and DiscardVirtualMemory. The biggest problem of Windows versions lower than 10 is the Set/GetProcessMigitationPolicy functions. 8.0 and 8.1 have them, but their implentation is insufficient for Chromium.
