Lost power two days ago, while on my attempt to break my previous uptime record. 4 hours before power was lost, this was logged in Event Viewer: The system uptime is 60616898 seconds. That's 701 days!

here it goes: https://www.file-upload.net/download-14658807/SumatraPDF3.3.zip.html the sumatra author has added a the jpeg XR format it doesnt look to bad when you compare jpg. jpg2000, orginal, jxr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XR#/media/File:Comparison_between_JPEG,_JPEG_2000_and_JPEG_XR.png there is a .jxr file in the zip file nearby

I agree. The analysis they do with the data they don't store is an indirect way to study how the population that uses their service behaves. Even if they don't do anything else with that information and say they don't, it is sensitive information handled by the people who run the service (people I don't know). The only way I consider feasible to fully trust a service is to know directly all the people who participate in it, if there is someone I don't like I can already have my suspicions about the service. The thing is that it is literally impossible to do that. Basically (at least for me) surfing the internet has become a completely blind act of trust. You don't know what might happen but you hope for the best.

Hi AnX, Thank you for your donation of $20.00. We look forward to improving the forums and stay online with your donation. MSFN Team

@Tripredacus , I see . Perhaps you'll find this to be of interest . I've noticed some of the latest browsers do include this function and there's no need to use any extensions . Today I tried Opera developer 79.0.4100.0 and it shows as Mixed Content Test : upgraded to HTTPS . Now I don't know what you think of Opera since it's also chinese . But if you want to test , look here with new Opera. For example , Chrome 86 (360 Browser) will load mixed content. https://browserleaks.com/ssl

It's more common than you might think! Firefox and Chrome extensions/addons both do this. "Some" users think it's a good thing, the extension needs to "collect" data in order to "improve". "Most" users have no clue.

Thank you . This modified browser has everything that any other ordinary chrome from the same version does , includung "inspect element" feature and that's precisely what I used . You're right ! HTTPS Everywhere , no I do not use it , and I think the other members from this topic do not use it too, hence the unsafe warning. We have our suspisions about it , discussed here earlier . "... because the extension sends information about the sites the user visits to the SSL Observatory, this could be used to track the user ... " But I do not know why @ArcticFoxie removed "excerpt" and the wikipedia article too. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/?do=findComment&comment=1203119 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182876-360-extreme-explorer-modified-version/page/15/?tab=comments#comment-1203124

thats what they actually did: there is something called CRT (c runtime) in the past that barly did anything or even was not used the files can be shown in visual studio, and i wrote thembackwards (there is no coding error from my side here) but actually visual studio has this file cached, stored, buildin and do not use my changed files for example i also deleted that function from defition in windows files (and still that CRT still used that function) france had a similiar problem, but he refused to write this in microsoft forums while other said we shouldnt try microsoft knows that (well still some should not lead away instead you should try it anyways neither what microsoft then actually do) this C RunTime then import that functions even if your code is not using that functions

If sound is glitching, look for an audio sound buffer setting that can be increased.

Updated v9, v11, v12 and v13 - Nothing important, just more translations from chinese into english. - Added Ruffle to recommended extensions (does not work on v9) Cheers.

Well , you're absolutely right ! The first rule of the internet : trust no one ..... including Microsoft , lol. So how do you update your certs then ? By manually unpacking cab files and installing them , right ? I gather you don't trust that 3rd party tool suggested by @UCyborg too ? Care to elaborate ? Thanks. P.S. Legacyfan's certs are legit , 100% legit , I checked . He just wrote a bat file to install them all at once as admin. I would show them to you , but the admins might be against it , since they already deleted his pack earlier.

Says who ? Link , please ! I read it was something like "also works on XP" .

No issues related to CA root certificates with EE all the way from XP to 10 on my end. All sites that @ArcticFoxie tested on his Vista VM work without errors (browser indicates secure connection) on my Vista installation and other OS, along with Ecosia and Discord. EE checks both system certificate store and CA certificates in its own store and if the match is found, shows green padlock or green padlock with grey exclamation mark, the latter only indicates Chinese don't trust it (CA is not on their list). When no match, this is the end on XP, site is considered untrusted. Properly updated Vista and above, if this function isn't explicitly disabled by group policy setting, are at this point able to check Windows Update if the entity that issued the site's certificate is on Microsoft's list of trusted CA and if it is, it can pull its CA certificate and install it in system certificate store in Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder, so in this case the green padlock shows, but otherwise, the site is considered untrusted. https://browserleaks.com/ssl explicity tests if the browser accepts resources over unencrypted connection, so errors are expected with browsers that don't block them in that case. Not sure about the error with insecure resources on MSFN, I guess it's related to either ads from Google domains or the stuff from Cloudflare. Don't know how to check this situation more thoroughly since it doesn't happen here. If one's system can't check/pull certificates from Windows Update, quickest way is running the cert updater from here. This will install all of them from MS server. To keep the certificate store lean, probably the only way is checking the certificate details in the browser and looking up the CA certificate name on Certification Path tab, hunting the certificate on the internet and installing it manually.

Yes, but No. Meaning that the Universal Extractor is not a decompression tool and the Author(s) never actually wrote even a single line of decompressing code/algorithms in it. The tool is a "repository" of existing decompressing/decoding tools nicely integrated and with a nice "detection" engine that attempts to recognize the compression format used in the file and "pipes" the file to the most suitable decompressing tool in the repository (passing to it besides the file also the right parameters and what not). If you prefer it is a meta-decompression tool. To find which (if any) compressing tool can create that specific format there are mainly three ways to get more data for searching it: 1) identify the exact compression format by using the suggested TrID or similar software 2) analyze the behaviour of Universal Extractor and find out which specific decompression tool is used (and possibly with which parameters), from the post by Nitro322 you referenced the used tool is 7-zip, so any post-2010 version of it[1] should be able to decompress the files directly, as it does for a huge number of other formats 3) check the file signature (usually - but not always - the first or last few bytes, i.e. unique header or footer), if you have two of these compressed files a hex compare between the two may be enough to find out which is the "fixed" part, possibly even FC would do Or, if the file(s) are not huge (and can be shared), upload it(them) on a free file hosting site and post a link, and I'll have a look if I can find some more info. jaclaz [1] https://www.7-zip.org/history.txt P.S.: Have you tried the mscompress? http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/mscompress.htm AND check these: https://www.cabextract.org.uk/libmspack/doc/szdd_kwaj_format.html https://mark0.net/forum/index.php?topic=672.0 It seems that what 7-zip calls MSLZ is compress.exe made files, probably the SZDD kind, or - possibly - KWAJ option 2 or option 3.

Got USB3 to work with PAE under a new driver. Also screwed with the audio driver some more, it's fine now as well.

For all who are interested in an independent Update Root Certificates and revoked certificates, I want to offer a small downloader and updater (available now) without version confusion. Download Download 2 Archive Password: S4QH5TIefi7m9n1XLyTIZ3V5hSv4se1XB6jJZpH5TfB6vkJ8hfRxU7DWB2p Eliminates misspellings, change from "Continue updating?" to "Do you want to update certificates?" thanks @hmuellers update 10/05/2018 Version 1.6 Corrected several bugs, optimized the program, improved some features, an additional function implemented and download URL's updated. update 09/29/2018 Version 1.5 Corrected several bugs, optimized the program and improved some features. update 09/25/2018 Version 1.4 Various features implemented so that no obsolete sst files are installed. It is now possible to use additional download sources for existing download sources (up to 5), one another download source has already been added.

Most people new to Vista want to disable the UAC, User Account Control, prompts completely. Others will want to configure it to behave differently. This guide will show you: An easy way to turn it on or off. How to configure the advanced settings. 1. An easy way to turn it on or off. Open the Run window. Either Start>Run or press winkey+r Goto the 'Tools' tab, Select Disable UAC, press Launch, Reboot. 2. If you want to configure the advanced settings: Open Local Group Policy as Administrator, by creating a shortcut to 'gpedit.msc', then right click on it and select 'Run as Administrator'. Expand 'Computer Configuration', 'Windows Settings', 'Security Settings', 'Local Policies', 'Security Options'. Scroll to the bottom.
