Care to elaborate with some actual, possibly-useful details, rather than clutter the forum with low quality postings? In my opinion, I would find it rather unlikely, no... impossible... to be hack proof. A LAN/WAN connection or even just a console is already enough for basically any machine to get busted into, depending on the dedication of the malicious person.3 points

I'm not sure about it, as it seems that .NET is a bit of a black hole as far as Vista is concerned. Versions 4.6.2 and above have some antipathy to Vista in some way, and I have trouble figuring it out.2 points

Try: "RLUSB Generic USB Mass Storage Driver for Windows 95. This Driver supports USB Floppy, CD, DVD and Blu-Ray Drives in addition to Hard Drives and Keys." Also: "Windows 98 RTM has a flaw causing occasional corruption of IDE as well as USB Drives, when transferring data, so use of USB Drives in Windows 98 RTM is not recommended."2 points

Welcome! I don't know why but whenver I open winver the branding is.. a little unnatural? And the icon of winver.exe is the "missing" icon for some reason. Every other edition's branding looks normal it's just Home Premium's that is broken. It's not an issue, it's just... why? This might be a time-waster topic (really sorry), but I really am curious.1 point

It's a zip archive containing files from currently installed Firefox extensions. It is created to make the browser startup faster. There is NO private info there. If you delete it on your browser close, it will be created again on the browser start, so deleting is just a waste of time. However, you may need to delete the startup cache it if you have problems with some extension or if you hack extensions on your own.1 point

You could try Roytam's "loader" and maybe it fits your needs better -- http://o.rthost.win/palemoon/palemoon-portable-loader.7z I've never actually used it so feel free to report back your opinion of it.1 point

Windows 10 is the worst because of its scheme to make computers dumber than they actually are. You can't even undo this change without modifying system files. Even after that, there is still a fair bit of the OS which is unfinished, even 6 years after release. Windows 7 is probably the best (may be some bias!) because the UI was simple, elegant and easy to use. All your settings are in Control Panel, file explorer is simple, the start menu isn't littered with ads, the lock screen isn't full of ads, and you have control over your PC. They even give you diagnostic information on blue screens so you know what actually went wrong, but I could say that the Windows 10 one also brings the same amount of information, just less explaining. Windows XP was also pretty nice, although I never really used it much. Every OS will suck when it comes out. Believe me, XP did, Vista did, 8.x did, and 10 did even more. But all of them fixed their issues in service packs / feature updates. XP SP2 was one of the best, Vista SP1 fixed a lot of issues as well as 7 SP1. 8.1 itself was a fix to Windows 8.0. I had hopes that Windows 10 would, but now here we are, 10 releases into Windows 10 and people are still angry about it. While most people have fallen to the gigantic corporation that is Microsoft, I can definitely see that there is a community of people standing their ground here. Unfortunately, Windows 10 has locked me into its ecosystem after my almost 6 years of using it, so I am basically at a loss. Any move I make is a compromise, such as migrating to Linux or downgrading to 7. A lot of people don't like 10. They didn't use it willingly, something forced them or influenced them to, unlike previous versions of Windows.1 point

^this. Also it is your life not someone else. If you want live it way you like do it while you can. Nobody else can desire what you should like or do. Something I learnt when grew up. I do not have to please anybody. And if live way you want no need regret in 40 years why did not enjoy life. No reason to stop.1 point

I recently built a new pc based on intel's z490 platform with an i7-10700k, and wanted to see how well 2k would work on it. This is the result. Functional: AHCI USB3 Non-Functional LAN Audio (didn't test much so it might work) ACPI Hyperthreading1 point

i never used it and will never use it but to say that "OS is fine, only shell isnt", for OS that in core is HUGE spyware (even if this started with XP ? but now is nightmare) and that it bypasses firewall, and bypasses HOSTS, and violates your basic human rights- yes rights- there was article where MS emloyee was QUOTED where he says that "they" can see what files you have on your disk .... for OS which updates are NOT tested, for OS that treats users as beta testers i wouldn't be so light with "OS is fine"1 point

[had to correct this, the "listdevices.txt" was misleading, only exactly ONE driver supports GTX 970 and GTX 980. Other GTX 9x0 / Titans were mentioned in later drivers, but were not in the inf files.] Interesting find while explicitely searching for drivers older than those on the NVidia-Site, but after the launch, on www.forum-3dcenter.org http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/344.11/344.11-desktop-winxp-32bit-international.exe More infos: https://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=556959 I tried it, and my GTX 970 was detected and runs fine (no SLI, though, even though it is active, and detected on W10 64bit). Excerpt from ListDevices.txt: NVidia mostly lists drivers AFTER this one on their site (there may be one or two more inbetween containing the 970+, but i did not detect any more. Jaclaz?). Oh, and one further insight: There exist inf-files for OEM cards (i.e. nvmii.inf for MSI) that indicate later drivers (347.25, 347.88) support these cards as well, as long as they are from said OEM. (look i.e. here: https://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/30969-modding-nvidia-oem-inf-files/ ) Using these may be possible, but as these may have other settings (assuming OC, requiring better cooler, etc.), it is always a bit risky. If they can be used for your card without inf-modding, you just pinpointed a driver tailor-made for your card, congrats... Starting with version 350.xx, 970+ are neither mentioned in the listdevices.txt, nor in inf-files. I suspect, this has something to do with XP 32bit dropping out of support with Microsoft on April the 8th 2014, so NVidia possibly joined the bandwaggon here... or was "encouraged" to do so by Microsoft, and only OEMs that were complied to deliver drivers for a certain time got some support. But thats just guesswork... For modding inf-files to have 970+ GPUs use the GTX 960 drivers, which seems to be working well, search on MSFN (maybe later i'll link to those threads - give me some time...). According to an analysis of the later drivers, of which the 368.91 (iCafe) seems to be the latest, while 368.81 is the latest generic, remember, that there exists more than one GTX 960, so choose well: NVIDIA_DEV.1401 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960" NVIDIA_DEV.1406 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960"1 point

There's a thread in the Vista forum about getting certain versions of VMware Workstation and Player to work beyond the official supported versions. https://msfn.org/board/topic/180052-tutorial-how-to-install-vmware-workstation-11-or-12-in-vista/ Workstation 10 and Player 6 are the last versions officially supported on XP, 2003, and Vista. Early versions of Workstation 11 (and Player 7) won't install on XP/2003/Vista but when inspected the maximum requirement of any of the .sys drivers is NT 6.1 which corresponds to Vista SP1. In previous VMware versions there were additional, separate driver files for XP-based Windows versions (32-bit and 64-bit). Notably the vmx86_64 driver was shared by 64-bit XP/2003 and later versions of Windows, so there weren't separate versions. In VMware 11 it looks like no additional dependencies have been added to the vmx86_64 driver. Its minimum OS requirement has been bumped up from 5.2 to 6.0, but with the lack of new dependencies I'm guessing it would still work in XP if that limitation in the header were removed. Depending on how much the other drivers have changed, there's a small possibility that where the VMware 11 drivers are truly incompatible with XP/2003 64-bit the VMware 10.x 64-bit drivers may be able to replace them. I checked a couple of other drivers (but not all of them) and again noticed no change in dependencies for the Vista-compatible 10.x drivers vs. the Vista-compatible 11.x drivers. This is a good sign, but doesn't necessarily reflect whether the 11.x drivers are providing any new, critical functionality that wouldn't be present if the Vista-compatible 11.x drivers that the 11.x installers include are replaced by XP-compatible 10.x drivers. For example, if critical new functionality related to networking is absent inside the 10.x drivers the Workstation/Player software could potentially run but only if networking is always disabled. As far as the many DLL files that VMware 11 is bundled with, they all still seem to be built targeting NT 5.2 at most, but I'm not certain that I checked 100% of them. I plan to look into this a lot more in the future, but I don't have time now and this will likely get put off for months or longer. If anyone else wants to mess around with this I figured I'd share what I observed so far.1 point

Okay, so today I was finally pushed over the edge. Why is everything putting "HD" in its title now? First it started out with Oxi-Clean Laundry Detergent which their new stuff lists itself as HD. Now this morning I saw a commercial for Crest toothpaste, which now it identifies itself as HD. So, just exactly how much more "High Definition" can you get than real life itself? If anything, I truly find these HD titles to be totally bogus. What's next? Bacon HD? Chevrolet Malibu HD? Just slap on an HD at the end and it automatically becomes better!1 point

Back to what Tommy meant by HD, I'm not much of a fan of HD-TV. Before it all the designated "hot chicks" (weather girls, leading roles in movies/TV and such) WERE hot. Now you can see so well that you can see their makeup -and- the blemishes underneath it. Some things are better left unseen. I compensate by not wearing my glasses when I watch TV. The gals are cuter that way. .1 point

Actually, the HD logo is only on the diskettes that are both high density and double-sided. The single-sided 720KB diskettes (that I had to drill a hole through to convert to 1440KB/1.4MB) don't have the HD logo even though they are high density at 18-21 sectors per track. ...And now in the closet I find a box of ten 5.25" diskettes that go back ~30 years: Memorox 2S/HD Double Sided High Density (1.6 MB) Flexible Disks TEN: 5 1/4" FOR: IBM PC-AT AND OTHERS and 5660 Recording Sides: Two Media Density: High Sectoring: Soft Tracks Per Side: 80 Memorex 2S/HD Flexible Disk1 point

In case of floppies, it stands for High Density, which is more tightly connected to the way the technology works, than today's High Definition, which can describe really anything.1 point

HD had been a tag word before, during the first run of HD 1080i TVs in the late 90s, early 2000s.1 point

A few years ago the "hot word" was "Turbo". As for HD in some cases it actually means "Heavy Duty" so it makes sense for things like Oxi-Clean. Bacon, not so much. Hope I never need "HD" toothpaste.1 point

apparently thats the key enterprise sets when you disable telemetry in group policy. the key appears to work on home and pro since it does disable, greys out, the data and usage box. it will also set what ever telemetry setting you have to the lowest one, basic, which it too does on enterprise. it just needs more testing to make sure.1 point
