Today it changed "by itself" here. (the name changed after disabling and re-enabling the list): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C'mon now, there's no need to be a sour face. With so much literature all around, even if it's a repeat, at least it's an existing word.

"The #ungoogled-supermium flag enables all of ungoogled-chromium's core functionality (and a bit more, but the NTP is functioning as expected). Sync is also an expected casualty. Some unintended side effects will be split off into #ungoogled-supermium-aggressive in the next release." https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/597#issuecomment-2121624072 Someone checked? Again, "The #ungoogled-supermium flag enables all of ungoogled-chromium's core functionality".

Please post if you aware of such projects, just to clarify, only real versions of these browsers are of interest. Thanks.

Thank you, good! Finally found it on streaming,

This is all very confusing, so Supermium isn't really fully Ungoogled, even the switch applied?

MPC-HC claims it's a "format", while V_MPEG4 (H264) is a proper codec name, take a closer look at the posted screenshot above.

The irony is, the original idea behind Pale Moon, waaay back before XP even, at least as I understood it, was that it was supposed to just be Firefox optimized for Windows, so it was supposed to be (and seemed to be, on my ancient Win 98 PC) faster than vanilla Firefox. No new or different features, just better performance. This was like PM 3.6 or so, but it sure seems like they went astray somewhere along the line. And enabling AVX or whatever in 64-bit builds isn't going to make up for it. I tried disabling multiprocess mode on St 55 on Win 7 and had a similar experience. Couldn't even type a post on MSFN at 10-20 seconds per letter, with one CPU core maxed out! So, even with a single core, you might have had better luck with e10s forced on. It's my opinion that the OS version makes little difference in performance, assuming the application (browser or whatever) will run on both OSes. The app might be faster if optimized for a newer version, but in that case it's unlikely to run on the older version at all. It's mostly the hardware, rather than the OS, that provides good performance.

Our 26100.1 ISO came from a trusted U.S. source. It is a digital license, but we don't like to cheat (too much anyway).

If you're using mas hwid you have a digital license, you really don't need the key at that point. Where did you get the iso? I've only seen a leaked one from a chinese site that people say not to use on production systems since there is no MD5 to compare to.

Back when we upgraded from Win 7 to 10, we installed Win 10 Pro and ran it for testing. Pro was loaded with games and I looked at switching us to a Linux distro. I found an ISO of LTSB 2015 and tried that. It was great. LTSC has no games, uninstallable Edge and either 5 (LTSC) or 10 (IOT LTSC) years of support and most importantly for us, feature updates when we want them, not when MS wants them. For us, it's perfect. Yes, we activate 26100 with mas hwid. Towards the end of the year, they'll be online key sellers with $5 MS keys for Win 11 IOT LTSC and we'll get those. Jim

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean

I have 5! Only 3 machines but 5 licenses. Out of curiosity what do you like about Iot Enterprise LTSC? How are you activating it? massgrave.dev hwid?

Downloaded and installed the 24H2 Cumulative Update for 26100.712 (KB5037850) on our Iot Ent LTSC installs. No problems with SAB. Purchased license 3-pack on the 20th. I would urge everyone to buy at least one license and support Tihiy. Jim

Just a reminder that today (22-May-2024) is supposed to be the official EOL for all legacy Norton Security v22.15.x products for Win XP and Vista. I checked the Norton Security | Norton Internet Security | Norton AntiVirus board today and didn't see any new topics about this EOL, but if Norton follows through and stops pushing out malware definition updates it could be a week or so before v22.15.x users start seeing pop-up warnings in their system tray about out-of-date protection files.

@Anbima If you try Thorium as a solution to your secure connections problems with 360Chrome, and you have issues, please address those problems in the Thorium thread. Thorium should not need the use of any proxies, as it is based on a very recent Chromium version.

Thank you, shows how much I know about it!

... As I understood this, the suggestion was to use Thorium standalone (presumably because Thorium comes also with its own CA store/is less prone than 360EEv13.5 under WIndows XP to fail on secure connections... But yes, thanks to Anbima, last pages on this thread went like this: 360EEv13.5 standalone -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + Local PAC script -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + Local PAC script + Chromium extension(s) -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + Local PAC script (without extension) -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII (standalone, without PAC script) -> 360EEv13.5 + ProxyMII + extension -> Thorium standalone (for his "problematic" HTTPS connections) -> exclusively Thorium-related queries -> ... IMHO, ProxyMII / ProxHTTPSProxy was the constituent with the lesser percentage in these recent discussions ; the "issue" (with still non-reproducible for everyone sample URLs shared) could well have been posted in one of the 360EE threads ... FWIW, if the issue encountered is the infamous "red-X" instead of a padlock on some HTTPS connections on 360EEv13.5 under XP, this is an already known "issue" and can well be a "red herring" (or not, but no-one posted something definitive on the matter...); IIRC, you can restore the padlock on these connections by running the 360chrome.exe executable in win2k compatibility (or something in this vein - have never faced this issue under Windows Vista SP2 x86 myself...).

Good to know. I will also change that in my next release.

Well I had a problem years ago where I tried using aswclear. It did remove it. However after I remove it many programs failed to start because of missing files or dlls. I don't know how that happened. Another thing about Avast is that it doesn't have any cleaning function at all for the infected files it finds. Unless you had the vrdb ready then you were screwed. One time I was servicing a computer and I let it scan at boot. And I it deleted Internet Explorer completely because it couldn't clean it.

In general, absolutely unnecessary. If Avast can't be removed from Windows inside, no matter whether in normal or safe mode, you can do this from outside. I did that in the past to remove locked registry entries which couldn't be deleted from Windows inside, not even by using Avast Clear in safe mode.

Incorrect, SSE4A is AMD-only instruction set containing 4 instructions which are not available in SSE4.1 and subsequent SSE4.2, collectively known as full SSE4 set. SSE4.1 is being targeted by SSE4 build of Thorium, so @Anbima should stick with SSE3 version on his old AMD.

Yup 24H2 is now in Release Preview.
