"Testcrash22" aka:68.14.2 working fine for me on WinXP https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/releases

Thanks again for sharing further, detailed information! And as this thread is about proxies, you are absolutely on-topic.

AV1 and VP9, both, smooth out stuff, H265 keeps more detail (8 bit), H264 is behind, trying also keep up. x265 (10 bit) is over-contrast.

In France one can get seriously beaten up for a talk like that.

Nvidia driver debugging (full instructions, very rare!) Huge PDF file, 44mb. https://neowutran.ovh/qubes/articles/nvidia.pdf

Same works for Back 4 Blood: Ultimate Edition Build 14216215 (Zombie game).

No such issue for me, I noticed MSFN works better/faster with Chrome 108-111 and the such, not the latest.

Sounds very much like your monitor is over-contrast to begin with. Try lower your contrast first, as full RGB looks amazing and shouldn't put strain on eyes.

For those aren't willing to read all. Take note. "... even the Retail versions of Windows (without the bloatware) start receiving ads."

by btarunr Apr 24th, 2024 10:38 Microsoft over late-Tuesday started distributing the KB5036980 optional update to Windows 11 users, which effectively makes the operating system adware (software that displays ads to support its author). The update gets the Windows 11 Start Menu to display ads in the "Recommended" section that suggests apps and games for you to download from the Microsoft Store, subscribe to Copilot Pro, etc. While the update is currently optional, the changes contained in it will be made part of next month's "Patch Tuesday" update. This wouldn't be the first time Microsoft is advertising software, the OEM versions of Windows 11 can be customized by PC manufacturers to pre-install bloatware, or suggest apps or services for users to buy within the Start or Apps menus. You usually uninstall the pre-installed bloatware, and dismiss recommendations. Today's update is different, in that even the Retail versions of Windows (without the bloatware) start receiving ads. Luckily, these ads are not inescapable, you can disable them. Head over to Settings > Personalization > Start, and uncheck the toggle that reads "Show recommendations for tips, app promotions, and more." source: https://www.techpowerup.com/321849/windows-11-now-officially-adware-as-microsoft-embeds-ads-in-the-start-menu Members' thoughts on this?

AMD Radeon HD 8750m was launched on February 26th, 2013 ! Are you sure it didn't have Windows Vista officially? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-hd-8750m.c1968

In China, we'll talk to you : This is a disease, it needs to be treated...

@win32 How close are we to being able to use Windows 7 WiFi/Ethernet drivers with the Vista Extended Kernel? A friend of mine wants to know as his Intel WiFi/Ethernet support 7 at a minimum, not Vista. TIA!

Weird that I can post here, but not in his XP UEFI Class 3 thread... I keep getting 403 Forbidden when I try to reply. Anyhow, I'm gonna take this and the XP one and port them both to my website if that is ok. MSFN has been finicky as of late, and I do not want these to be lost!

You'd think if that were the problem, the forum could at least be a little bit less opaque and just say, "you can't say '<whatever>' here!" There were no swear words, so next time it happens, I'll just post a screen shot and let someone else explain to me what I said that was 403 forbidden. BTW, on my Chase.com issues, I discovered that, sometimes, it does work in Serpent, although that's rare on my home PC. I now suspect Chase has some kind of timeout, and since my home PC is slower than my work PC, the timeout rarely happens at work. (So now Chase is trying to require not only a modern browser, but also a modern-enough PC to run its Javascript-addled site quickly enough for its taste!)

... and for pm2796-vc10 NSS failures, it is due to the reordering of codes. still can't finish fixing freebl as amount of code is huge. putting them back to original places and group declarations to top of block should be the proper way to add support to C89 compilers. EDIT: trying to fix but still getting error when accessing ddg.gg. changes: https://github.com/roytam1/palemoon27/commit/d9412c9848aa19be6b34a77f592c2b0b122c19aa https://github.com/roytam1/palemoon27/commit/aace5eed0 maybe something else need to be fixed in that mega commit: https://github.com/roytam1/palemoon27/compare/2e31415af799342119565c9f25eb7ebf57e52274...aace5eed0

... You're most welcome ! ... On the contrary, I became an avid fan of them since my beginnings in web navigation ; it was an era when full-blown VPNs were mostly unavailable to non-enterprises or too pricey for individuals, while open (read: misconfigured) HTTP(S) proxies could be easily found via a web search ; PACs offer a convenient way to selectively proxy only certain hosts/domains/etc. out of your total of web requests; was very handy on geo-fenced media portals/services in the ealry 2010s, where you had to (first identify and then) only proxy their geo-location checking scripts, with the media streams themselves (video and/or audio) being accessible "DIRECT"; now, 99.5% of these same media portals, free and paid for, geo-block fully their streams and also encrypt them with DRM ... PACs were also useful when you were employing a paid-for Proxy, but charged by proxy traffic or had quotas imposed on your use of it; by selectively proxying only those hosts that were inaccessible from your physical location, you could use less proxy bandwidth in a given time frame or squeeze more out of your proxy quota... This scenario involved use of proxies to unlock geo-fenced services (or ones regime-censored); if you were using a proxy for privacy reasons, then PACs were less applicable... Already known to me ; below, just for you, some PAC-related documentation, retrieved from my huge set of bookmarks: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_(PAC)_file https://learn.microsoft.com/el-gr/archive/blogs/ieinternals/understanding-web-proxy-configuration https://superuser.com/questions/191037/local-pac-file-url-format-that-works-with-ie-and-safari-windows https://blog.mikejmcguire.com/2014/05/07/using-proxy-auto-configuration-scripts-with-internet-explorer-11/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-disable-automatic-proxy-caching-in-internet-explorer-92735c9c-8a26-d0d8-7f8a-1b46595cbaba http://io.mysq.to/pac-file-and-proxy-auto-switch-for-firefox-ie11-and-chrome https://calomel.org/proxy_auto_config.html https://www.websense.com/content/support/library/web/v76/pac_file_best_practices/pac_file_best_practices.pdf The IEx articles relate to configuring a Windows "system proxy" (which can then be used by Chromium and its derivatives) ... End of off-topic ...

Are they somehow better? For me, they look pale, washed out, bright. Probably, because of my Titan oldie (made in Jan. 2013). But then again, H264 looks fine on it, please explain.

That's the error I get after installing the Windows Legacy Updater thingy and double clicking on the WLU file. Granted, I've got like 5 gigs free, so I'm pretty sure it's not that. I tried everything, like reinstalling the OS, reinstalling the Updater, installing the IE6 update some threads mentioned, running as Administrator, yet I still get that EXTREMELY unhelpful error. Anything I might be missing here? Using version 31IM in case that helps.
