@Andalu Will this corruption problem also happen with the Win2k "disk.sys" and "partmgr.sys" files?

They promised to make it work but can't promise any timeline

I also wish you a good evening and I understand why you don't wish to talk about javascript before eating ... that and a lot of other things all having to do with security causes me Nausea and can ruin ones your appetite. I used to have preconceived notions but I've learned a lot just being here (since 2018) and from people such as yourself to better understand these things and make an effort to become as security conscious as possible without allowing paranoia to take hold - not always easy.

That's close to the situation that I described. Proton and Tuta relatively new services. One signs up them for free to solve a need, and then forgets about them (because they are slow, the security need has passed, or they made a radical change). After some time I don't remember anymore what I used to sign up. I did use Proton once for a sensitive thing, and it was quite impossible with RoyTam'š browsers. I'm vary of trying to upgrade a smartphone to new Android. It's not a PC where I can insert a boot CD and fix it. Even if 4 would work, that is still old. I tried to use Telegram on it, which at its core is just a text chat, and the old versions wouldn't work. Authentication would also come as some app with requirements for new OS and SSL.

Welcome to MSFN

Welcome back; @Nokiamies and I hope you're doing better. I did notice your absence.

I sort of live a life in between (no extreme) just a few online places and no social media at all. Don't like phones or email either. Yeah where to draw the line, I guess. I used to trust people but over the years life has taught me to offer trust little (cautiously - only when earned) anymore regarding people (both online and IRL) I like to keep a low profile and I don't do things to draw attention to myself and if that means isolation; then so be it.

FYI, this issue still exists in Mypal 68.14.0b. Just tested. Nevertheless, thanks for your new update and the changes to JavaScript in terms of local time and time zone! The functions .toLocaleString() and .toLocaleTimeString() are working great now.

This works nice as much as possible. With this Emulator, XP SP3 on any 486 cpu is now real. I played Pin ball and just now I am installing there Moorhuhn Dietmar

If it's a site you use all the time, a simple css replacement in something like Stylus is a very easy solution.

Email servers and communication protocols are "above my paygrade". My mantra is that if you are ONLINE, then your privacy is compromised. "End of story." We each, every one of us, has to decide just where to draw the line. On one extreme, you live in a hill, no phone service, no electricity, no running water, in a house weaved together from small tree limbs. On the other extreme, you're on FACEBOOK or TIKTOK but cite privacy or security "concerns" on web sites like MSFN.

@Tihiy I'm trying to port an old Windows 7 custom theme to StartIsBack and I have a small problem. I use the included Windows 7.msstyles from SaB as a base and everything works as long as I don't segment the taskbar: As soon as I segment the taskbar it loses most of its styling: The interesting thing is however, due to a bug I presume the taskbar on my second monitor can't un-segment itself yet retains the styling: Is there any documentation as to how to edit styles so they retain the styling when in segmented mode? I have some custom-styles for SaB that work fine when segmented so it seems to be possible.

Should work. Just remember that it will bloat your registry, so back everything up first.

Using cmpxchg twice will always be logically incorrect. Please code it correctly!

@Tihiy did you get any new info from Microsoft about 3.7.9 and removing the update block?

Ok guys, now you're convincing me to definitely not give it a try.

Hi @NotAViper, hello from Belgium and welcome to AiO! :bye: I wish you to enjoy the forums! Have a nice day. hpwamr

Well then Tutonota cant send anyone not using Tutanota email messages and MXtoolbox or other tools that can check for SMTP will say no stmp found, oh wait it says there is MX record and SMTP https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=mx%3atutanota.de&run=toolpage STMP is not just for sending emails from client it is also means which email server communicate with other email server. Just because you cant connect to SMTP to send message does not mean it wont exist. If there is email server you can send email to there is SMTP on both ends. Now STMP can (and should be) wrapped in SSL/TLS tunnel where it is encrypted similar to HTTPS traffic but if encryption is breached it is readable. And all this time I am referring to standard email, one other side will receive. There are similar commercial solutions with ability to send link to protected mail server but that mail telling you got secured mail is still sent using SMTP between two mail servers. I highly recommend you do more research on email system before you start argue about this topic. I work almost daily with email servers and know how it runs under the hood on any of them. Even Microsoft Exchange despite using MAPI protocol uses SMTP to talk with other mail servers.

This is clearly stated in the Tuta FAQ. I recommend that you read them: Have a good evening. P.S. I don't comment on javascript injection because I still have to eat dinner and I don't want food to get stuck in my stomach. You are right @NotHereToPlayGames here users have preconceived notions that are difficult to eradicate.............

Thanks, I'll check that out. I can put up with the wrong font on sites occasionally, but it's annoying when it happens on a site you use all the time!

Sending on a postcard is hilarious. Secure is secure only if all the players follow the rules. The last three "certified" letters I received via United States Postal Service were left at my house without so much as a SIGNATURE acknowledging receipt. H3ll, one of those three was left on my front door step where any light breeze could have sent it flying.

I think you missed my point. Even though you send link trough email it is not standard email anymore as I cant read and answer it using email client of my choice. Tutanota and Proton while internally encrypting all still cant talk to outside world without utilising SMTP which is like sending your email on postcard. Even if over ssl it is just writing message to postcard using some secret language, if someone cracks it can read you message. Also you are relying on their server to be secured and not get compromised and even if they actually would be not storing encryption key on their server like they claim some hacker could just inject malicious javascript to steal your secret key and access all your mails. No system is hacker proof and point you become valuable enough target it is matter of time is hacked. And even if they made is hacker proof you still trust for them to run what they claim on their server. Unless you walked there without warning and scanned all server code you can only take their word for it. Showing server source code wont mean they run it on server side unless can inpsect the servers. On the other hand PGP I mentioned is standard and decryption key is only stored locally, if you try read email on server there is nothing to read. While there been exploit like Efail for PGP those been since patched and it did not affect Claws mail.

That would be (Android) 2.3. I still have a Samsung Galaxy Mini, sitting unused in a drawer, half physical buttons broken with a battery which depletes in half-hour or so. It was upgraded to Android 4 something unofficially. Latest Android 4 is also pretty much dead. I wanted to try Android Auto on a newer phone (unofficially upgraded to Android 7.1.2) some time ago, not because it is something I really need, just curious as the new car came with Android Auto support. Turned out that software also comes with expiration date. Can't even use an older version of the app. Searching "run android auto on older phones" returned practically nothing. Late edit: I've got a hitch to experiment with this again, actually got further this time with one of the latest versions that could still be run (7.4.620993), made it to the main interface somehow, not sure if adding Android Auto to MagiskHide was the key (hiding root access from it). Android Auto wants oversized Google App to run, we'll see if the phone is still usable with it installed...had to do the dance with deleting whole Dalvik cache (which AFAIK isn't even Dalvik on Android 7 but the folder is still called like that) to force install Google App along with updated Maps on very size limited internal storage. Did experimenting with Android Auto before rebooting, which is a bad idea when I've just nuked the cache... Later when I rebooted the phone, it took a while, but it didn't get stuck and still have little breathing room on internal storage. Still have to check if it even works in the car...

Try Tutamail. By default (but you then change) it uses password encrypted email sending. In order for the recipient to read the email and possibly open attachments, they must know the password you chose during sending. The recipient of course is informed (via client-email) that he or she has received an email. Obviously all this assumes that you have a browser (the email is read using the web-mail method) set up reasonably well from a security/privacy standpoint. In the image the email received. Without a password it cannot be read.

I noticed it on Google Street View.
