The Proton GUI introduced in Fx 89.0 release channel can, for now, be DISABLED via toggling ALL "proton"-enabled about:config prefs, followed by a browser restart - those prefs will eventually be removed in future Fx versions, but user.js+userChrome.css+userContent.css based solutions are already available; until Mozilla kills them, too... Disabling Proton will revert the GUI to Photon, first introduced with Fx Quantum 57.0...

To prevent user confusion, I strongly recommend disregarding the tutorials and contacting me directly instead about the extended kernel. The original post was removed as it was continuing to confuse users. There will be further discussion about the evolution of the extended kernel in the coming pages.

thanks for the help @mina7601 I'll see if the tutorial you gave me above works and then report back with what I find

I used to help 1000 students to connect to the wireless university network. In 80% of problem cases, removing the saved network configuration on the Windows 10 control panel helped. It should be under "WLAN" (or some similar translation...). Some Windows installations are completly stuck. Bugs happen randomly somewhere. And nobody knows, what the actual problem is. Re-installing might be the quickest solution in some hard cases. Maybe we have to take a look at the customers router too (if other wireless networks work fine with that laptop). Maybe you could login into the router and check, if that laptop has an entry there, maybe under DHCP, and maybe you have to delete that entry, too. Maybe there is a setting wrong with a DHCP pass for that one laptop.

It seems to work fine (Chromium 87) and it is multilanguage. This is the web site https://browser.kfsafe.cn

Just personal preference, the Recycle Bin was removed from the 'Desktop' and added as an Explorer file manager Favorite. It's cool that the Favorites dropdown 'RECYCLED' icon even changes when the trash is not empty, just like the Desktop icon. Microsoft thought of everything with their greatest creation - Windows 98 SE (Stupendous Edition). I was recently working in Windows XP. When Explorer auto-selects files with mouse hover (as it likes to do) in the Recycle Bin view then File -> Empty Recycle Bin is not available. Whose silly idea was that? So the user needs to do a little mouse cursor dance just to empty the bin, from File dropdown anyway. Hmm, restore file or empty trash, restore file or empty trash - imagine Homer Simpson thinking. Maybe a minor example of the software trend to take control and dumb down the user interface. In all fairness, Windows 98's Explorer does not provide a Recycle Bin File -> Restore option until a file is selected, not even greyed out. So new (back then) users may not even be aware of the Restore feature. Of course, the right-click context menu reveals these options. Computer Chronicles aired an informative tribute episode to Gary Kildall if anyone's interested, titled 'The Computer Chronicles - Gary Kildall Special 1995' (runtime 28 minutes). It was very good, is on YouTube and probably at archive[dot]org. To me maybe the most important but lesser known contributors to Microsoft's success is Tim Paterson, programmer of QDOS (Quick and Dirty Operating System) in 1980, which became 86-DOS and was acquired by Microsoft the same year, quickly re-branded as MS-DOS. He went on to work for Microsoft too. To me Bill Gates' biggest success was his ability to leverage people and take advantage of opportunities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Paterson Tim's (old) blog 'DosMan Drivel - From the original author of DOS' can be found below. Although there are only a few entries, his experiences and insights are fascinating. http://dosmandrivel.blogspot.com/ Xenix is interesting, never knew at one point Microsoft was working on a Unix-based OS, snippet from MS-DOS Wikpedia pasted below. So much rich computing history in the 1980-1990s. I always thought of these old DOS' to be really basic, like okay i can boot my computer and read/write to disk, now what. Just my ignorance, not uncommon. Cool to have some limited insight into computing history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS Microsoft omitted multi-user support from MS-DOS because Microsoft's Unix-based operating system, Xenix, was fully multi-user. The company planned, over time, to improve MS-DOS so it would be almost indistinguishable from single-user Xenix, or XEDOS, which would also run on the Motorola 68000, Zilog Z8000, and the LSI-11; they would be upwardly compatible with Xenix, which Byte in 1983 described as "the multi-user MS-DOS of the future". Microsoft advertised MS-DOS and Xenix together, listing the shared features of its "single-user OS" and "the multi-user, multi-tasking, UNIX-derived operating system", and promising easy porting between them. After the breakup of the Bell System, however, AT&T Computer Systems started selling UNIX System V. Believing that it could not compete with AT&T in the Unix market, Microsoft abandoned Xenix, and in 1987 transferred ownership of Xenix to the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO).

if the SSD is big enough you are not likely to notice any performance flop but your SSD without TRIM functionality will just downgrade its lifespan. fortunately crystaldiskinfo utility still works on XP so you can use it to check your SSD total writes with and without TRIM usage.

in theory Samsung has already reserved some spacing for over provisioning tasks, this is why the 860 EVO is 500GB not 512GB like the PRO version but it's recommended to leave that 20% (the more the better) as unallocated space.... the SSD will happily use that free space to paste files given he has no access to the Samsung Magician utility. I don't think any other utility will perform the TRIM task any better than the official Magician tool.... NO. your Windows 10 is unable to know what files have been deleted in the XP partition so you can't do TRIM through another partition. I have recently bought a brand new 850 PRO 256GB for $40 + shipping and I am looking at some other setup alternatives such as 850 M2 to DDR2/3 slot

With all due respect, probably because the older software still performs perfectly and is licensed for life, while an upgrade would require a new and expensive license just for show purposes, since it adds nothing really needed. Do you think people are made of money? Moreover, you yourself told he's gotten his clinic renovated... for normal human beings, there's only so much money (more so in times of covid-19, on top of it)!
