Well , first it was a joke . Second , I think he meant brain activity . Which is quite taxing , BTW .

Hey , where's my French brother , I'm worried !

That's just ludicrous, plain and simple. Undo paranoia. "To each their own." Google doesn't care! Period! And to think otherwise is kind of a false ego on one's own "project".

OK, the thermometer says that I'm burning...38.8 degrees Celsius. Back to resting until situation improves. I'll be back then.

A word of encouragement to a known gamer and even well-meaning humour gets misinterpreted. To clarify, don't use a few sick days off work to stay up half the night and play video games. The first few hours after infection are the most critical. You're relatively young and apparently healthy @UCyborg, everything will hopefully be okay. COVID is an unpredictable virus and many cases of severe illness, prolonged illness (long COVID) and death have been reported amongst 'healthy' individuals. Take it seriously and focus on getting better. I once had pneumonia as a young healthy man. Sick for 6 weeks including totally wiped for 2 weeks and bedridden for 1 week. When the fever broke and i got out again even a walk around the block was difficult. Medically this was mild pneumonia, only one lung, no intravenous or hospitalization. If i wasn't so stubborn and took a couple sick days off work early in the illness it likely wouldn't have become severe. I did a lot of intensive mountain biking until age 35, my lung capacity was never the same, not bad but not peak.

Yes extensions work fine in Firefox. I only use chrome (Ungoogled chromium) for sites that have compatibility problems.

Here's a good example for you . memcpy (perfectly working function) was replaced with memcpy_s to ditch Vista . So you need to bring the old function back . Quite the same will be with your win8/10 https://www.tutorialspoint.com/c_standard_library/c_function_memcpy.htm https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/memcpy-s-wmemcpy-s Understood ?

I think I already wrote , this "disable siganture enforcement" will not help you if you modded the .dll or .sys files in your driver . It only works if you mod the ini (added devices). I tried modding win 7 64 bit drivers . Change just one bit - error "can't load the driver" . Switched the enforcement OFF , still the same. But you're very welcome to try . But modding 32 bit drivers was a success. Of course you would need to search for the first driver for your device .Later one will be more bloated.

Jakob , I can't say much sorry. But for the video drivers you would need to mod them to remove some of the code and/or dependencies , also the bloody artificial block that Intel/Nvidia put there . And that's only the top of the iceberg ! Even to test how they work , you would need to sign them! No procedure to load the unsigned drivers . This trick will not work on modified x64 drivers/systems, I tried. It's good and working only if you mod the "ini" file to add devices. bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON So I suggest to start modding 32-bit drivers and try, if there are any. As an example , I tried to mod an Nvidia driver that needed only two values to be changed , I succeeded with 32-bit version , because the 64 one wouldn't load (unsigned .sys driver). Where to start ? Extract the driver and look for the missing stuff with Dependency walker. Hope this helps. Dixel.

You meant "except" ? Could be the only solution .

Thank you . Unfortunately , no , still not shown . I see there's original Vista USBSTOR.SYS driver in the system32/drivers folder . Everything is intact. What I meant is to diagnose the USB connections , not the disk itself. Everything works fine though . Safe eject powers down the HDD and the device . Can copy files etc. The only problem , can't read SMART. Do I have to reinstall the whole system ? Jeez ... And for some reason , I can't multiquote ...
