Make sure you put them on a leash so they don't run into traffic.

I hope you will find light or the light will find you. Very hard when under a dark cloud to find it, know it well. I realize how poisonous thoughts can be and they will kill us for sure. Very hard and I don't know the answer as I'm also not doing very well. I feel lifeless shell as of late and just existing for what, I don't know. I've posted many times in your friends thread and haven't seen him around. I'm concerned as he wasn't doing well and I also sent him a nice PM.

New build of post-deprecated Serpent/moebius for XP! * Notice: This repo will not be built on regular schedule, and changes are experimental as usual. ** Current moebius patch level should be on par with 52.9, but some security patches can not be applied/ported due to source milestone differences between versions.

You guys are so funny. I haven't had a good laugh since forever. I'm so glad I joined this board by accident. I was laughing during my walk when I remembered Tripredacus' profile ... and I had to pretend to be talking to the trees and the shrubs so that nobody would think I was crazy laughing and talking to myself.

Interesting, I was never that social, at least not in real life. Your experience is quite a turn. I felt lost in groups in particular, there was always talk about random things I know nothing about. Plus not much in this world seems interesting, so good luck finding common ground. OK, I'm going to stop here for now as I'm not sure what to say next. The time it takes me to compose certain posts...phew!

Testing a Netscape Navigator 9 user agent on Chrome 86 seems to just load the HTML 5 player. I think it tries HTML 5 first and if that does not work it tries Flash.

I still use it for very light browsing and certain old school websites. As well as downloading some drivers for Win 9x. But I never use it for serious browsing, internet banking and/or sensitive data.

@Damnation@George King I tried acpi_xp_amd64_forGK_2_7z and it boot fine for me when i replaced acpi on a working system. GA-B450AorusM. Maybe you can try on a different test computer and see if you have better luck? Might be an issue specific to your test motherboard.

If you have a Macbook or linux, install wayback_machine_downloader and run this command "wayback_machine_downloader http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com -t 20110707002618" It will download all 92,000 files hosted on that server from 2011 or before, that includes v3, v4, v5, v6, and many other goodies probably.

This quote helps me during rough times. "You don’t need to drown the darkness with light. You don’t need to replace negativity with positivity. You bring the darkness to the light. Like an offering."

Finally I can see the "Kernel Debugger connection established" message for my host (with intel i217 chipset) and target (with realtek 8111GS chipset) systems. I now need info for a correct configuration for the installed symbols to overcome the errors reported in the following log: https://anonfiles.com/R1IcR5Ybx6/Debug_GA-H470_TXT

Thank you, yeah, only one step at a time and day-by-day all I can do. Hang in there everyone.

@George King OK, please try this one. https://anonfiles.com/h8N9LaY2x4/acpi_xp_amd64_forGK_2_7z

From what I understand regarding the different NAND types, it gets worse over time. Meaning the newer types are not as good as the older types, but the newer types have higher capacity and lower price. Look on page 2 of this PDF which has a short description of the 4 main types: https://business.kioxia.com/content/dam/kioxia/ncsa/en-us/business/memory/asset/KIOXIA_SSD_NAND_Endurance_Tech_Brief.pdf But it has always been the case with SSDs that you want to minimise the amount of writes that are made. With Windows, that is difficult to control without using RAM overlay. The best I could figure is to disable indexing and using a spindle disk as a dedicated page file/vmem location. With Windows also you can choose to install programs on another disk, but most programs are still going to be writing a lot to AppData and in the user profile, I wish there was a way to redirect those write without modifying Windows to store User folder on another disk, which causes many problems with just Windows.

You sound perfectly fine to me, not awkward at all. I have a friend who drives everyone around crazy being belligerent all day long (he can't help himself). Having said that, he has been a good friend when you are in trouble. I guess we all have our own idiosyncrasies. Oooops ... I've already given away all my indoor plants (artificial plants are easier to look after). Oh well ... never mind, I can always talk to myself ... if the outdoor plants wouldn't talk to me. Just take one step at a time. When you are ready, take your plants out for a walk. Not the other way around, otherwise you would be waiting forever. Remember to check out Charlie Munger's wisdom, he might have something for you. I found this just now ... nice. “Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly.” ― Langston Hughes

To tell you the truth ... I've felt the most lonely around other people or in groups as I'm awkward and have a hard time blending in with others. I feel less alone around my plants. I used to be social in my 20's, very social, out every night and weekends were always full; now I'm happy to be in cuddled up with my teddy bear and ready for bed at 10PM. i"m Kidding, or am?! Lol :)

Agreed! I Wish him good luck going forward.

Are there other types of SSD where performance doesn't decrease over time?

The performance falloff can be fast for TLC NAND (which this disk of yours is) especially if there are many write operations. It has been known for a long time about this issue with NAND and it is not a magical cure to data storage as compared to spindle disks. It depends on what your "use" of the disk is, whether or not it would have been expected that the ssd got slower or not.
