BTW it seems to be possible to create a small kernel32 wrapper (stubbing EncodePointer/DecodePointer/SetDllDirectoryW/GetProcessHandleCount, wrapping GetProcessId, hex-editing VC2010 compiled EXE/DLL replacing KERNEL32 to KERNELXP i.e. our little wrapper) to make it work on XP RTM:

@Dietmar Does this mean we now have a way to enable CSM on UEFI class 3 systems?

Hi, why is your msr partition 128 MB and not 16mb?

I write through self-translation, so I apologize if I missed your English-language lines. Read more about the VK error here: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/2508

You would get the equivalent of a nightly build or one of these automatically-built snapshots: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html

Windows 10 21h2 home edition reached EOS, but MS didn't block installation of CU by SSU or remove support for Core edition.

I do not use a portable loader for Thorium. And I assume @chermany4ever either.

To me, it was more of a tie-in to this -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo%27_Money But that "didn't make sense" so then I assumed it was a new fork I've not yet heard of.

Not if you use (and know how to configure) a "portable loader".

1. 32 GB is too small for a retail SKU IMO. The smallest (with newest) OS I have used is a 40 GB VM with Server 2008 R2. For that small size, you would use either an Embedded SKU or an older OS like Vista or XP. Or perhaps a non-Windows product. 2. Dell Recovery DVD for Windows 7 should install fine on another brand, but it won't activate on a non-Dell system. 3. In either case, you can attempt to activate with the old key, or a key from the shop, but you may have to use Telephone Activation (Slui 4) in both cases. You won't know until you try. 4. You can certainly run a small size hypervisor on a system. I don't know the names of any of those options, I've only use ESXi and Hyper-V. You can also look into VDI type or terminal setups. Do not mention the name of any warez on this forum. This includes modified Windows versions that are able to be downloaded from archive.org.

Gnuplot 5.07 ( gp507-win32-mingw.7z ) from Sourceforge, FreeBasic 1.10.1 ( FreeBASIC-1.10.1-win32.7z) also from Sourceforge and Geany 1.31 (geany-1.31_setup.exe ) could make us busy for a loong time There are many gnuplot demos at http://www.gnuplot.info/demo_4.6/ . For some of the gnuplot examples it is necessary to provide own .dat files. nano 2.2.6 ( https://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/NT/ ) can create these

Anyone knows what system files should I need to remove from a win10 computer to make it safe against ransomwares that rely on bitlocker? Just disabling bitlocker is not an option... the tool is really dangerous and should not be included in default installations.

He just came up with that abbreviation several days ago. Yeah, not obvious unless you follow the posts here religiously. Moz would've been more obvious since that is the abbreviation Mozilla uses in their code. Well, at least my brain quickly associates Moz with Mozilla, mo could be the cow mooing.

You have to back up the Thorium folder and its registry keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Thorium for a later re-install. Otherwise you will lose the settings for which extensions have been installed.

the more of `-j` the more of failing build as PDB writes are raceful. BTW I already have 3 or 4 mozbuilds installed, not wanting more.

No idea. I'm not a coder myself. I guess you'll have to ask @cmalex (he announced the Python 3.9 build in this post). Though he hasn't posted on this forum since August 13, 2023... When he was asked to provide a list of the options used when compiling his custom Python 3.8.1350, this was his answer: Patch.diff (Py3.8)

Oh. MAYBE that should have been obvious. But it sure as h#ll wasn't to me. I thought there was some new Floorp or LibreWolf or Waterfox or Mercury or r3dfox or PCXFirefox or Cyberfox or IceCat or Basilisk or Iceweasel or TenFourFox or Cliqz or CometBird or IceDragon or or or or or or or...

Mozilla

What the h#ll is "Mo" ???

What work on their part does "supporting" a version of Python involve? Is it a matter of avoiding certain functions in code?

I am not aware, that versions 12-23 work usable at all with KernelEx. Those are freezing after a few seconds. With later versions, it depends on the hardware (i.e. CPU) whether Firefox is slow. With a Intel Prescott it runs noticeably slower than with a Core2Duo Wolfsdale. With the last mentioned it does not run slower than on XP or maybe minimally. There is no need to measure the loading times for comparison. That's not worth it. Yes I've XP, Vista and Win7, too.

You'd need Vulkan driver by AMD, Nvidia or Intel for it. No such drivers exist for XP AFAIK. Is there even a single OpenGL 4.x game for Windows XP out there? OpenGL 4.5 is available on XP with recent enough Nvidia drivers, at least in theory. These projects are focused more on providing legacy D3D support where it's not available (eg. Linux) or where there might be quirks in native implementations (modern drivers on modern Windows), if you run XP, chances are you have period correct hardware with good support for those APIs.

Tip for RetroZilla: Gecko 1.8.0b3 and later support building with MSYS, so that means Mozilla-Build will work with them. rn10950 used Mozilla-Build 1.2 to compile RetroZilla. If you want a native Windows command prompt window instead of rxvt like Mozilla-Build 1.2 uses, Mozilla-Build 1.3 is also suitable to build RetroZilla. Is it possible you are using mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j1" simply because it's the default setting? What I notice with older Mozilla code (pre 2012) is you need a graphics adapter/card to take advantage of a powerful CPU. Wait... What version of Windows are you using to compile RetroZilla? In my experience, Windows 2000 and XP are the best choices for RetroZilla compilation.

@reboot12 Hi, until now I cant set any nvram variable with any tool, that is on the market. Because all in Bios is still Write Protected. I can use those tools only for to check, if my change by hand of the nvram variable is correct. I look for the Byte pattern of each nvram variable with UEFI tool. For the search via UEFITool I use Byte length of about 300, because with shorter length I always get other "matches". I correct those 3 raw files by hand via Winhex. Raw files in CEF5B9A3-476D-497F-9FDC-E98143E0422C EE4E5898-3914-4259-9D6E-DC7BD79403CF 77D3DC50-D42B-4916-AC80-8F469035D150 For 0xCB3 I change Byte pattern from 01 ==> 00 by hand in each of those 3 raw files. For 0xCBE I change Byte pattern from 00 ==> 01 by hand in each of those 3 raw files. May be, that all nvram variables are stored only in this 3 raw files. But because I cant set off the Write Protection from Intel, this Write Protection sits on other place too, may be even not in Bios but on other chip on mainboard, crazy.. Then I integrate this 3 raw files, each modded at 2 places for 0xCB3 and 0xCBE, back into Bios via UEFITool. Then I flash this modded Bios with FPT.efi. After this I clear CMOS via its jumper. And voila, CSM is enabled, but nothing of this can be seen in Bios. Would be nice, to set all the other nvram variables too, that enables the CSM menu in Bios. Also the menu for to select the graphic card is still not there Dietmar

thanks for your investigation. so basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20210327 is OK and basilisk52-g4.8.win32-git-20210320 fails? http://rtfreesoft.blogspot.com/2021/03/weekly-browser-binaries-20210327.html EDIT: oh yea there is a commit missed in my repo! "Issue #1749 - Remove restriction of SVG width/height element attributes." is missed, will add it back and will be available in next build.
