@FranceBB You see? @KawaiiBunnyRU It is about "photographic proof", not "testimonials", see the original thread: This said, I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Diskless thin clients running custom OSes. I watched terminals failing to connect to mainframes with blinking cursors. All those moments ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears_in_rain_monologue jaclaz

Added Later --> https://msfn.org/board/topic/180462-my-browser-builds-part-2/page/52/?tab=comments#comment-1176791 URL above is Summary Message of how to *solve* the (Video) TWITTER AUDIO DISTORTION problem. And also using the Old Twitter Interface under WinXP OS.

Actually, WES7 will still be supported until the end of the year, more or less:

Um, i already try this on previous page and describe result - distorted audio. By the way, with Firefox 52ESR i figured out why it still working - because i install extension Good Twitter. Without it 52ESR also shows new layout, but with Good Twitter it load old layout with normal audio. So for obvious reasons that will not work with Palemoon and it forks. It sucks, i so annoyed with new twitter layout. By the way, i also find how to disable trending box in old layout in 52 ESR - Old extension Hide Twitter Guff that i find with Wayback Machine - trending box is so annoying. This old extension still working with twitter old layout - even now if chose in New Moon in Preferences Native mode. At least in new layout this trending box is smaller and can be set to show trending in USA or something like that. P.S. This new layouts of popular sites are very disappointing - YouTube polymer design also annoying. Why they can just leave option to stay on legacy layout? I believe this sites initially was designed with help of professional UI designers and now they designed by professional programmers managers imho. Next youtube\twiiter layout will be designed by programmers fired from Boeing for developing MCAS system - there will be only two buttons "Self-destruct now" and "Self-destruct later".

One such occurrence of an application compiled in Qt 5.7.1 but still working under XP/Vista x86 is DB Browser for SQLite v3.11.2 : (As you said, the app doesn't seem to use the Qt5WebEngine.dll module... )

WES7 has entered ESU period, just as the retail OS did, so that is out of the question. However, I read that POSReady 7 is to get updates until Q3 2021.

My goodness; I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this audio distortion issue! (and it's very severe!) I thought the new headset I'd bought had somehow messed up audio on my system.... Anyway, I tried the user agent string posted by TechnoRelic above (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko) and I get the same old Twitter UI as I get with the default string, and with the same audio distortion. Twitter is not the only Website affected by this severe distortion, though it strangely isn't universal! (YouTube, Vimeo, Vidlii, and BitView are completely unaffected, for instance)

Doing a quick test running Phoenix 0.5 on Windows 95 indicates the New Tab, and Close Tab bugs have been fixed. The about:config bug is still there (minor issue), but when I try to connect to an HTTPS website, I get a message stating the browser security component could not be initialized, the SSL protocol has been disabled. IME, this SSL error does not affect Windows 98 (tested with 98 SE) or later versions.

Well I have acquired another 24 hours of Rovi EPG data from Microsoft. My WMC guide now extends to January 30 at 6 PM. Perhaps also a decoder issue. I doubt that the old Microsoft DTV/DVD Video Decoder can handle HEVC, new audio decoders would likely be required for Dolby AC-4, and WMC's UI has no provision for selecting different decoders (but NextPVR's UI does). However. when ATSC 3.0 eventually becomes dominant in North America, I would imagine that converter boxes will be available. I have never used MediaPortal, but it is apparently still being developed. Unlike NextPVR, MediaPortal is open source. I believe it has considerable "media server" features in its own right, but could be used as a back end for Kodi (and probably other media servers) if desired. Personally, I have almost as much history with NextPVR as I have with WMC, so I'll stick with it unless I become dissatisfied. I believe you are referring to EPG Collector. There has recently been some discussion about it at the GreenButton WMC forum beginning here. It sounds like a viable option, and wouldn't even require an internet connection (much less any payment), although the data wouldn't extend as far into the future as WMC users are accustomed to - and of course would only be available for OTA channels. not for cable channels. (Again, NextPVR has native support for in-band EPG collection, as well as for Schedules Direct.) The lack of interest in this topic has more to do with the rise of Netflix and similar online services than with Microsoft abandoning WMC - in fact Microsoft was merely going with the flow IMO. Growing numbers of people rarely watch "linear" TV. so why should they bother with special hardware and software, recording schedules, etc? Just get TV shows and movies online whenever you like (for a fee).

Try this SSUAO: general.useragent.override.twitter.com = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.9 "FF compatibility" spoofs FF 68.9 ESR. The one @roytam1 gave you spoofs IE 11. The one above spoofs FF 52.9 ESR. If the source code was illegally leaked then of course the links posted by @sparty411 and @Zero3K(and quoted by @Snear) should be deleted immediately. We can't put MSFN at legal risk. But banning seems like an over-reaction at this point. I see no evidence that @Zero3K was aware the source code was illegal when posting those links.

Actually, they will be available in the Update Catalog and documented in the Windows 7 Update History page. The only thing the bypass does is tell the Windows servicing stack that indeed the system does have the ESU bit turned on. No licenses are faked or bypassed. WU won't be able to fetch the ESUs. That will be up to the user (in the same fashion we've been doing with Vista and 8.0). Still, if it's a moderation decision that we won't have any more discussion on the issue, I won't speak about it ever again.

Phoenix 0.5 (20200121) works on Windows 98 SE, but with minor bugs (such as about:config initially being slow to respond, and New Tab button taking 2 Clicks to respond the 1st time, and page names not showing on the tab bar most of the time), but besides that, seems to work fine. On Windows 95 however, I get a message saying the SSL protocol has been disabled.

Confirmed working on Windows 98SE

I love the idea of building a TLS 1.2 compatible Phoenix 0.5 version... Now I'm going to test on Windows 95 and Windows 98.

search box is broken by Microsoft not by OldNewExplorer MS promised to fix it in upcoming update(s)..

@dapgo hot release https://github.com/Feodor2/Centaury/releases

for fun, nostalgia, and investigation, tried to replace NSS to retrozilla-tff_sha384 version in old classila-based phoenix browser. of course it still some fixes to give user smooth experience, may review the code if there is time. repo: https://github.com/roytam1/classilla/commits/tls12-exp download (for fun!): http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/phoenix-0.5-cl933-tls12.7z

Forum member roytam1 kindly provided TCPMP media player, tested good for YouTube MP4s over the last couple days. It works in Windows 95 and 98, download link below to help keep the player alive. It is lightweight, full featured and does not require installation. Just unzip to an appropriate directory. For me this execuatable path is good for 9xweb's YouTube playback configuration. vidPlayer1="c:/program files/tcpmp/player.exe" If a new 9xweb release is needed TCPMP will likely be added as the default player. It plays MP4 out of the box. Minor settings configuration may be required to get video to display, etc. It can be set to autoplay and autoclose on completion, nice for YouTube surfing. Still untested whether 9xweb works in Windows 95, if someone knows, please tell (confirmed to work in Windows 95). For comparison, TCPMP launches faster than VLC and SMPlayers 'mplayer.exe', even when bypassing SMPlayer. It is also the easiest to configure. Based on simple monitoring of Process Explorer's CPU meter, it requires more resources than SMPlayer's MPlayer but makes up for it with a nice full-featured display and GUI settings. As an all around player TCPMP is probably best of the three. Only on lesser hardware, if playback isn't smooth, would SMPlayer's mplayer be the better option. TCPMP_Win95.zip (2.27 MB, no JavaScript needed). http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=26236836007896588087 Edit: 9xweb script confirmed to work in Windows 95.

To be picky (as I am, BTW) no, that (nice) thread was started no less than three years after EOS, not three days, this may be a relevant difference. Yep, that's why waiting a few years might be needed to have more meaningful entries, still the photo taken about the scaremongering since the 14th Jan is nice, particularly because it is the same day a (really serious) insecurity in Windows 10 was made public. jaclaz

Win 7 is sooo commonplace, that I predict no fun at all in this place.

Here is a download link for the stable release of Microsoft's new Chromium-based Edge browser: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge The supported operating systems include Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, as well as Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 and 2019. It will reportedly support Windows 7 for as long as Chrome does, i.e. for 18 months or more. A very favorable Computerworld Review was posted today also. Edit: The widely-quoted Neowin article has been updated (hence my strikethrough above):

@Werewolf Thank you so much for the HUGE list of additions! Finally got around to adding them all. Glad to see you around again. I have you to thank for my list gaining popularity in early/mid 2017 thanks to the plethora of additions you provided then. Thanks again! In addition to what Werewolf posted, I have added another piece of software called Ripcord to "Instant Messaging" section, after discovering it in a thread over at the XP forum here. What makes this software unique is that it provides a fully functional Discord client for Windows Vista users, which I much prefer to using the Web version: As you can see, this is based on QT, rather than the infamous Electron (which is like a cancer contributing to the sharp decline in software support for Windows XP/Vista since 2015 ) which allows it to work flawlessly on Windows Vista. Voice Chatting also works great, for those wondering. I can't seem to find any system requirements listed anywhere, but since it does not work on Windows XP (giving a "not a valid win32 application" error message, indicating the software was built targeting Windows NT 6.0 as the minimum) I will assume that it officially supports Windows Vista or later. Also, Telegram Desktop 1.8.15 has been listed as the last version for Windows XP and Vista (1.9.0/1.9.1, both pre-releases, do not work due to missing DLL functions; the developer has stated here that it will not be fixed).

Unfortunately, this is a known and long-standing issue with @roytam1's browsers on some (luckily few) hardware configurations (probably CPU+audio card) on Windows XP; the root cause is yet unknown, a fix for this issue still pending/improbable... XP lacks OS-provided patented audio decoders to decode the AAC-LC/HE-AAC raw (elementary) audio stream inside MP4 media streams (e.g. twitter & instagram video clips), reproducible via the browser's native HTML5 media player; in NM28/St52/St55, Roy offers ffmpeg audio (and video) decoders inside a custom ffvpx third party library to mitigate this XP shortcoming; it's this audio codec that fails on said configurations, especially in the case of HLS fragmented streams... In the case of Serpent 52.9.0 (and fairly recent builds of Serpent 55), you can try installing the Adobe Primetime CDM and change to that as an audio decoder (details are to be found elsewhere in the forums...); however, this is not a cure-all approach, just a suggestion...
