I hope you feel better soon. Did you read about Biotin in my posting? Why not try to find foods that could help your eyes. Remember when I said green tea ... please don't forget also and sip slowly to heal. Also tea bags under the eyes can help sooth, but won't fix health issues; of course. I also have eye trouble and now wear special glasses to correct double vision, but I don't nee them around the house as I've just gotten so used to it. I hope you all find way to enjoy this new years eve. My party days are over and I'm sober and in bed by 10 so I'm no fun anymore ... haha! Oh the memories of being in New York in the 90's ... OMG am I getting old. Some weekends I close down the joint and hardly no sleep. Those were the days - those were the days. The world has changed so much now and things aren't the way they used to be by any stretch, so I'm glad I'm not young trying to grow up in this 'new world'. I'm happy with my plants and fake fish on my end table. This new change was hard for people and I understand that. For me, that change was different, in that, I'm a hermit and a loner and have developed social phobia pretty bad over the years and people now are simply unapproachable. I'm quite social online, but very very shy in real life. Anyways... Nuff bout me. See you next year. Take good care MSFN and this forum rocks :)

I recently got the latest version of Python 3.6, Python 3.6.15 working on Windows XP SP3. Since Python 3.4 is the latest official version for XP, this allows the use of many more Python programs like YouTube-DLP. You can get WinXP_Python-3.6.15 on my website.

This week flew by way too fast, I'll miss being able to get some proper sleep and not having to stare at computer 8 hours a day. Regarding the virus, of course it'll spread, people are never staying put... I live in a stupid tourist town, lots of traffic, full parking spaces, a bunch of people waiting in front of COVID testing container. Horrible. There was one nice time here, the lockdown in 2020 when this mess started, the place was a ghost town, peaceful and quiet, simply wunderbar. I've been sober my entire life! I deal with people for the living, fortunately only remotely. I'm naturally more on the asocial side, though I've slipped a bit further in that direction since I started working. I guess that's not too uncommon due to different mechanics.

Invidious has options to download a video. Can't help with Invidious quirks...try pasting it manually... List of Invidious instances

They're all at default. Let me know if any relevant pref is missing from those screens. This is rather new issue to me since I had browser.privatebrowsing.autostart pref enabled for the longest time. I used to have dom.serviceworkers.enabled turned on just in case, turned it off in recent times, but re-enabling this one doesn't help neither. The console indicates the error supposedly comes from index.php.

This error I can confirm in both 52 and 55. Working fine in newer FF versions.

Hello, and happy new year to MSFN users! I have a question about New Moon and Serpent. I use NM28 (2021-08-13) and Serpent55 (2021-12-17). Now in both versions Invidious not working - videos not shown instead in NM is text: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported". But in 360Chrome it works. Examle: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YGqCGD4uqVE And in Serpent55 even the ad picture of video not shown. Roytam, can it be fixed? Because several months ago Invidious was working in NM, but then Invidious several days was offline with text that they do changes and after that it's not working. And i usually use Invidious, cause YouTube is very slow in NM\Serpent and Invidious is blazing fast.

Happy New Year to you too! I certainly tried all that with Firefox, but it never made any difference to the Instagram videos problem. It has happened before, and a fix was found, but I haven't been able to identify what needs to be done this time. It's some sort of javascript issue I think, which Firefox 52 ESR (and presumably Serpent which is based on it) cannot cope with. It was Serpent 55 which I tried incidentally. I was impressed with it, but as it didn't fix the Instagram problem I think I will stick with 360Chrome for the moment, it works fine there.

Happy New Year 2022 to you too, @Skorpios! And to you ALL members, to our Patron @bphlpt, Super Moderator @Dave-H, Supervisor @Tripredacus, All MSFN Team! Let's celebrate with cider and champagne!

Here's the best way to describe it -- https://browser.taokaizen.com/chrome-directwrite/ Again, it's the GUI of DcBrowser, not the font rendering of web pages that you visit, it's the d@mn GUI itself that looks HORRENDOUS to my above average 20/10 vision!

@Dave-H Do you happen to use a proxy for HTTPS? If so, add its certificate to your new browsers. Or change the browser proxy setting to "no proxy" instead of auto/system proxy.

Thank you very much @I41Mar!.. My probles are like yours, same! I want to follow your advices, at the moment I don't drink much but I want to increase the volume (of water, and soon the cider and champagne this New Year's Eve). I usually take some vitamins, eg. "Berocca Energy" multivitamin. I don't like to go to the doctor or to the emergency room in the hospital, but I want to see the ophthalmologist (not right away)... My problem is also in one eye as you had, all is identical as you described. And it started right after I put the LED lamp to my eye! But the same evening I also looked at the headlights of the cars in front of me and I felt strange .....hmm I still have hope that this will pass quickly, I see as before, except this floater. EDIT: Now I see a little blurry, maybe my eye is tired because of the PC monitor I've been watching for an hour...now I want it to rest. Did you use an eye patch, or sunglasses? PS. I am starting to use the drops - VISMED MULTI eye lubricant... Very Happy New Year to you and your Family, my new friend!

To msfntor Two years ago I had the same eye problems (only on one eye) and I went to an eye doctor (a very good doctor, also cheap, now retired! - unfortunately where I live there are many expensive and not very good eye doctors). My problems were: - Bright flashes. The bright flashes (bright semiarchs) were caused by a vitreous humor that pulled the retina when the eye moved (mechanical forces exerted by the vitreous humor on the retina which begins to no longer adhere), these flashes were visible even with closed eyes and also in the dark. The eye doctor explained to me that they were caused by the vitreous humor drying out (shrinked humor volume). - Dark spots. I also observed some dark spots that move when I was moving my eyes, floaters ('miodesopsie' in italian - protein fibers that have broken). The eye doctor explained to me that they were caused by vitreous humor aging. The retina was fine fortunately! The problem solution was: drink water often in order to hydrate the vitreous humor and take an eye supplement (based on Potassium, Magnesium, C and E Vitamin, Amino acids and Red Vine extract (antioxidant)) in order to re-integrate the vitreous humor protein matrix. I have been taking the eye supplement for many months and I slowly solved my eye problems (in Italy I purchased a product called 'Vitreolisina Idro' that the doctor suggested I should take). Stays well and Happy New Year to everyone! I41Mar

Hi, can you bring back "Use classical drive grouping in This PC" from OldNewExplorer?

I've had no problems with version 12.0.0.6818. It runs very light on the system, and with the configuration I am using the security is very strong. Any unknown software that gets on the system is automatically blocked. Because the security is so tight, I need to temporarily disable the protection before installing new software. Other than that, it doesn't require hardly any attention and just works quietly in the background. I used the information in this tutorial to install and configure Comodo Personal Firewall 12.0.0.6818: https://malwaretips.com/threads/comodofix-set-up-comodo-for-trouble-free-protection.93291/

Thank you very much, I'm very relaxed now!

Happy new year to you and D.Draker too, and I hope also it becomes the best year!

Wishing you ALL a happy New Year, may 2022 be our best year!

Agreed! And some of those captcha screens are CONFUSING. That's not a motorcycle, that's a scooter! That's not a mountain, that's a hill! That's not a 5, that's an S! You asked for TRAFFIC lights, a PEDESTRIAN walk or not walk is not a TRAFFIC light! You asked for BOATS, a YACHT and a BOAT are not one-in-the-same, let alone a NAVY AIRCRAFT CARRIER!

New year is coming. Happy 2022! A little guess about the shape of things to come. 1) Omicoof breaks the narrative, but its "escape" will be blamed on the "unvaccinated." It will be allowed to spread wildly and cause lots of disruptions (schools, flights, work, etc.). All of this disruption due to lots of people getting sick all at once will be blamed on the "unvaccinated," even though case loads, etc., will be worse in the vaccinated. This data will all be made foggy, hidden, disrupted, and misreported, of course. The scapegoat must remain. The goal of this uncontrolled omicoof disruption will be more blame upon the "blameworthy" while offering the Regime and its mouthpieces an exit ramp ("The Science changed because the 'unvaccinated' screwed up"). They'll still push "vaccines" in this time even though it's nonsensical, but this will all be in preparation for Phase 2. 2) "Cyber pandemic," massive disruptive cyber attacks interrupting LOTS of stuff, far more disruptive than coof. They've telegraphed this for over a year. Believe it or not, it will kind of be the "unvaccinated" who are blamed for this Cyber Pandemic, but the shift will be from the "unvaccinated" to the "digitally anonymous," who are predominantly "unvaccinated" because they refused to get coof Digital ID "passports." We'll see a massive shift in narrative and scapegoating from the "unvaccinated" to the "digitally anonymous" (or something equivalent), these will be linked to make a scapegoating bridge (like "deplorable" to "unvaccinated"), and a new, hard scapegoating campaign will commence. The goal is always to get to fully controllable Digital ID. It will be racist, sexist, misogynistic, threat to public health, threat to cybersecurity, etc., to refuse a Digital ID, and it will be a full-court press against the "digitally anonymous." That's my best guess for the adventure we face in the first half of 2022, at least so far, reading the entrails the Regime keeps putting out. Make no mistake and take heart, though. They have plans, but they didn't expect to lose this hard this fast. Keep fighting! Author : James Lindsay

I use sometimes "System Restore"... and "Defrag", for this I use rather MyDefrag.

In my opinion, yeah, that's BAD, but it's one of those topics that have hardcore believers "for" and hardcore believers "against". We live in an NTFS World. Some of us even live in an SSD World. But even those of us still spinning "platters", we live in a 7200rpm World and not a 5400rpm World. I believe in QUANTITATIVE and MEASURABLE results - don't tell me defrag makes your system "faster" unless you have DATA to back up that "placebo effect".
