There are some good AI-blocking lists for uBlock. Unsure if they would remove what you are encountering.

Suppose you come to this forum and read something that sends your proverbial blood pressure up: that your favorite web browser sucks, feeds Chinese hackers and using WinXP is a threat to national security. You write a moderate rebuttal and everyone ignores it because they really can't see it. The AI has decided that using old software is unacceptable. You come back after a week, write something again including the word "boot.ίnί" and get a silly error. You remove all sensitive words, then obfuscate the word "sυcκs" and it still doesn't work. Would you really come back and continue to read some BS without being able to respond? I would just use a search engine in case I had a problem to solve and not read everything.

All testing was done with Windows 98 SE Network Realtek PCIe gigabit chips RTL8111C and RTL8111D tested to work - can be found as either PCIe cards or integrated into motherboards. RTL8111E and above don't work with the regular Windows driver, but, in theory, may work with the NDIS 2.0 DOS driver (I have not tested this). TV Tuners Hauppauge WinTV PVR 250/350 works (currently using driver version 1.18.21.22266 found on the WinTV PVR 2.2A CD https://archive.org/search?query=WinTV+PVR+2.2A). This card is pretty versatile and can be used with Windows Media Center in 32-bit XP/Vista and presumably Win7 as well (just not 64-bit). Although in the same WinTV PVR product line, the 150/500 versions do not work with Win9x. Video capture from an ATI All-in-Wonder X800 XL (PCIe) partially works in that I can capture from the S-Video port but there is no audio. Workaround: connect audio to a sound card's line-in jack instead. TV and FM tuners do not work and show a code 10 error in Device Manager - this does not impact video capture, only the tuner portion. It's better to use this card for capturing video under Windows XP but still noteworthy if you're dual-booting.

Thanks @Tripredacus. I'm not fussy at all.

I only enabled the one custom theme. I will put making a new theme onto my worklog. Probably won't get to it until Monday at the earliest. If you have a wish about what kind of colors you are looking for, post in the Complaint Department.

Fellows, Recently the copy dialogue stopped showing the white text in the description: I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I began to get this situation recently. This is my version of Windows: Also, I'm wondering, will this dialogue support the Dark Mode one day? Thanks.

Sounds like an oddly "modern" metric to gauge a web site's usability. Not for me, but yeah, "to each their own".

I found a bug! Links v2.30 for MS-DOS does not save history when exiting the program

No, I don't, but thanks. I use VLC.

If you have K-Lite codec pack and mostly deafult settings, audio dithering for 16-bit output is enabled in the LAV audio decoder and it's settings. This process alters the sound slightly to reduce noise level So the possible reason why WAV can sound different than flac is because flac goes through the LAV audio and respects it's default settings with dithering (can be changed) and WAV by default doesn't go through the LAV audio and a standard builtin Windows decoder is used instead because wav is a Windows-native format and therefore the dithering setting is not being applied, so the output sounds different despite inputs being the same and lossless.

Going to the YouTube site has become almost pointless because of the inability to comment. This issue may seem like it has gone away, but it's just encountered somewhat more rarely. If I look from another account,the comment isn't there, and I choose to edit a shadowbanned comment, it says "error" in red type and the comment disappears. Trying to get it to stick takes a long time (while waiting on the site on an old PC) and is usually unsuccessful. Removal of key words or their obfuscation with Greek letters or periods doesn't work. The site's search feature is horrible, feeding the same titles repeatedly, and the performance is of course down at the bottom. I suspect that watching on YouTube-DL is one contributing factor for the censorship. The system considers me a spammer who hasn't watched anything. Another factor is the controversy level of the topic, like politics, war, nationalism, nutrition, drugs, viruses, gender, and such. Comments seem less likely to stick there.

I just found this thread and registered. I was going to Eclipse, which I like for other reasons, like r3dFox development Is there a way to not use dark mode? I went to Look and Layout, but to no avail. EDIT: It's funny that I say I "found this thread", because it turns out I created it.

What to do if I someone holds two passports?

There are no more keys for Kaspersky Antivirus. Therefore, this is now also eliminated. Which antivirus program is still suitable for Windows XP and also gets virus updates? The system should not burden the system too much either.

In that case, it might be a little bit before I can test it (the patch) In all seriousness, it might not be that bad. Depends on the source. IPv6 was implemented in v2.8.6; maybe for the Win port too. Side Note: I've noticed that some Ws2 applications will work, with the older versions of Trumpet, if the Ws2_32.dll is present. But not many.

No firsthand experience. Supermium was never very stable on my computers. But as @jumper pointed out, I'm pretty sure that the developer already provides rebased .dll's. Haven't visited that GitHub project in a very long time so no clue where they are located. I've actually erased/deleted/permanently-moved-on from all of my XP "experiments", be they Supermium, Thorium, Pale Moon, New Moon, you name it, they ***ALL*** were nothing but "headaches". I obviously keep my own 360Chrome's around, but seldom are they ever launched. And the only Serpent that is reliable for my needs is a VERY OLD version - new updates only introduce new problems, nothing but "headaches".

Google Gemini answer to rebasing Supermium...

Could you perhaps give me some basic information about the rebase? Perhaps you could give me some parameters/addresses I could test. You're right about Windows XP. It's very dated, but I need programs that only run under Windows XP. I can't run them in a VM either, because the manufacturer's activation no longer works. It only works on my Windows XP computer. I would be grateful for any help.

Apologies again, but I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask. I ditched XP roughly a year or so ago and my life has IMPROVED a million-trillion-zillion times a million-trillion-zillion ever since! XP was holding me back !!! It's up to you to decide if all of the time spent to do things on XP is a waste of your time or not. Sorry. XP, to me, is like Linux, neat and novel, a good HOBBY, but nothing more than a HOBBY.

Yes, I'm already working on that. I've installed version 126.0.6478.261 and am trying to reduce memory usage there. You've had good success with rebasing 360Chrome. I tested this with Supermium's chrome.dll, but the memory usage is higher there. Can you see if you can improve memory usage with rebasing? Or would you recommend a different Supermium version for XP? Do you have any other tips for reducing memory usage?

Apologies, but no. This rabbit hole is far too deep for me to get pulled in any further. Sorry. You will need to use Supermium and "let go" of the notion that a v86 Chrome engine can be made to do whatever you throw at it.

Can you describe how I have to set it in proxomitron so that it works?
