  1. Nah, I don't need any doctors, I'm getting better over time. Today I feel better than how I feel on November 5. Well, I wear masks outside for safety.

  2. AM2+. My only occasional issue is running out of RAM, so haven't really considered actually replacing anything else, it just crossed my mind if the whole thing was newer, I could find some RAM in a local shop. Just few months back, I found DDR2 RAM someplace else, but can't find it again. Seein' how my RAM shopping's been going, I'll probably leave everything as it is in the end until some critical component dies...

  5. @XPerceniol, @AstroSkipper (Probably) don't need to worry too much.

  6. Some thing I have been work on in my very little free time. You know "Browservice" project right? He made a software that pushes endless stream of JPEG images to the browser that contain a website rendered by Chromium engine. Complete with fake address bar and front end JavaScript to capture keyboard and mouse. The idea sounds so ridiculous, so crazy, but it actually works on almost every OS and almost every old browser. Problem of "Browservice" is it doesn't feel convincing. IE constantly downloading images and status bar goes crazy (it appears that the memory leak exists). Also very slow when website has a animating. I did something similar but using RDP. Only for IE5 and IE6. Should work Win98/ME/2000/XP<SP3. I develop in XPSP2 IE6 and WinME IE 5.5 for now. Since it's ActiveX control, I am inside of IEXPLORE.EXE and have full control (that's how drive-by downloads installed spyware and virus back in the days). I use the power to intercept the menu, toolbar, address bar, status bar, etc. IE becomes only a bit of GUI under my control. All commands are redirected to remote server running Chromium engine there. RDP has the feature "Virtual Channel" to send messages (WTSVirtualChannelOpen etc.) My implementation so far browsing experience feels 99% like using real Internet Explorer because RDP protocol is much faster and get clipboard support, access to local hard drive, sound, video streaming, etc. for free by Microsoft. Unfortunately still very early in development. Downloads not yet work. History not yet work. Popup window not yet work (very difficult). But I hope that in a few months from now good old Win9x and Win2000 can join a modern Internet again. Backend in C#. Frontend in Visual Basic 6 with OLEEXP and patched SSUBTMR (just to prove it can be done, but it is painful). Maybe you will say that's the fake screenshot. Okay, you can do it. I don't have the argument at the moment. But soon I hope to show it running on real hardware.

This is not the case here and XP Forum (the only 2 forums I'm on currently) I don't feel hate or ugly, sometimes people share their despair; but through this despair we can turn it around, which means the light hasn't burned out and hope is still there. Even though a computer forum, we are here for each other ... did you notice that?

What is Auto-Patcher for Windows 98se? Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) was released in 1999, and since then many component updates and critical security hotfixes have also been released. Also, in July of 2006 Microsoft stopped support for Windows 98, and vulnerabilities discovered since then have not been officially patched. So, whatever state your computer is currently in, you can use this program to do all the patching for you. Auto-Patcher includes every update that has been released by Microsoft and every unofficial update posted on the Microsoft Software Forum Network. This program will work on any existing Windows 98 SE (English) system and will still only install updates if your computer is missing them. If you want to know what Auto-Patcher thinks is missing, there is a report function available that will compile a list of all missing updates. Please note: this is an MS-DOS based program that uses batch file scripting to perform all the updates. Auto-Patcher features: * one-click to start the program, and one-button to fully auto-patch your system, or * updates and hotfixes are grouped into selectable modules with further options available within each. * only install updates you are missing (default setting) * report function: search for missing updates and send to text file for viewing. Also tells you what is already installed. * every Auto-Patcher process is logged with timestamps & hotfix version information. Verbose (or debug) mode also available that logs more. * option to force re-installation of updates already installed (NOT the default setting) * to fully patch a freshly installed Window 98 machine, many reboots are required. If the process is interrupted, recovery is available as a menu option Auto-Patcher contents: see link above AutoPatcher98_December2007_Final.zip AutoPatcher98_December2008.zip

  22. In this short article I quoted above, I recommended the AV program WiseVector StopX. As mentioned in a previous post, you should configure it very carefully though to avoid problems if using it. Some programs have to be excluded from monitoring, otherwise they won't work. WiseVector StopX seems to examine many executed programs much deeper than other AV programs. If you trust these executed programs which WiseVector StopX doesn't seem to like, you have to exclude them from monitoring in two different locations: in the main program window under Exclusions and additionally in the Settings under Advanced Protection Settings if necessary. After one week of using, exclusions in boths lists are definitely necessary for all editions of 360Chrome browsers, Serpent, and some others. For some programs, however, the entry of the program or program folder in the main exclusion list is sufficient. Cheers, AstroSkipper

  23. In the past, I certainly did have specific reasons for using Chrome. Mostly that certain websites worked properly with it while others didn't. Things likely changed and now I can't really think of any real reason to want to prefer Chrome for anything, except maybe to stop Google Drive from showing the incompatible browser message. So I think my initial reasoning for wanting to stick with Chrome is just old ideas, or perhaps that it is what I had been used to.

  24. Origins Of Mysterious Radio Wave Bursts Discovered by Stephen Lunz The source of puzzling radio wave bursts detected by two of the world's largest telescopes has been found, and the answer turns out to come from the research facilities' tea rooms, not extragalactic space. Earlier this year, Swinburne University's Emily Petroff was the lead author of a report on the first observation of a fast radio burst (FRB) in real time. Previously, the enormously powerful but poorly understood events known as FRBs had only been detected in the records of large radio telescopes years after they happened. However, among those records was something else, which astronomers named perytons. The first peryton detected was in 1998, although it was not recognized as such until 2011. Perytons look sufficiently like FRBs that astronomers even speculated that the first FRB, known as 010724, might actually have been a peryton. Perytons last about half a second and are “frequency-swept,” meaning different frequencies arrive at different times, which in perytons's case means the high frequencies appear first. Petroff says, frequency-sweeping is commonly associated with signals that have passed through an interstellar medium that has delayed certain frequencies more than others. However, while FRBs are believed to come from outside our own galaxy, perytons were thought to be terrestrial in origin, since they registered on multiple beams of the radio telescopes, something that should only be possible for events that are very nearby or spread across a huge area of the sky. However, according to Petroff, “A lot of theories thought it might be atmospheric; radio pulses from lighting or ball lightning, etc.” So Petroff set out to solve the problem. As one of her co-authors, Dr. Evan Keane, said on twitter, “As a scientist you are basically a detective solving mysteries—it's fun.” One clue Petroff had was that all recorded perytons were observed during daylight, and indeed during business hours. ...

  25. I can't speak for anyone else as to how they are acquiring it, but IOT Enteprise in the LTSB/LTSC branches is not a retail OS. There are two ways to acquire it: 1. Be an Embedded Channel Partner/IoT Distributor 2. Buy a computer with the OS already installed There are demo/trial versions that can be acquired. If you buy an appliance with the OS installed, you do not get installation media, but certain companies may provide recovery media depending on volume. So far in my experience, no one has bothered to request recovery media for any appliances with an Embedded SKU since XPe was still available. Nowadays clients are perfectly fine with hotswap warranties. Official info here but note that ways to acquire this OS outside of these methods cannot be discussed here. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/commercialization/licensing

  32. No human-readable checkbox AFAIK, but there is a Boolean setting in about:config. media.autoplay.enabled; defaults to false in St 55 (not sure of the default in St 52). I suspect a good JavaScript programmer (@AstroSkipper?) could rig up a custom button to toggle that setting! Probably because even if one were lucky enough to find it, it's an integer pref and it's not at all clear what 0 does, 1 does, 2 does, etc. Luckily we have @dmiranda: The bug discussed above aside, I too have found the default behavior (backspace=page back) to be worse than useless, so I changed my setting to 2. It's way too easy to have the focus in the wrong place by accident, press that key, and lose everything you typed! If I wanted "page back" assigned to a key at all, it'd probably be F12, or maybe "Previous Track" on "multimedia" keyboards that have that key, but certainly not backspace!

As of now, it's still with me because I recently got back and the horror the commies unleashed is still in front of my eyes. Will turn it off soon and relax. I was trained to do that.

  40. WinCopy will create a copy of windows installation. For example, move the current installation into a VHD. The first 6 modes are using wimlib (with optional WOF compression). It's like capture and apply without actually creating a WIM file. File exclusion using a WimScript.ini are possible as well using MinWin by clicking on the Mode label. The VOLUME COPY option is more like Drive SnapShot, it copies the entire NTFS File System (used clusters only). It's much faster than the other modes, but does not offer any options. Destination drive can be smaller as the source drive, but the last used cluster must fit in it.

  41. Hello @XPerceniol! Haven't heard from you for a while! Hope you are well! With regard to your question, I didn't hear anything from @feodor2 since 2022-08-19. And on GitHub, his last activity was from August, too. Since then, no further activity! Unfortunately, I don't know anything more. And truth be told, I've also been worrying about his well-being and his safety.

  44. Speaking of webmail accounts becoming broken with some browsers, has anyone been able to log into a GMX account and see the normal full UI, rather than the limited version [which I suspect is the mobile device version of their service]. Which browsers and versions have or have not worked for you ? A few weeks ago, I began to have the problem, even with newer versions of New Moon and Serpent from September, and including trying MyPal 68 beta 5, and older FireFox 52.x ESR. Their error popup says that they support FireFox 33 and up, but obviously this is not true. I am curious about what method GMX is using to exclude the newer browsers, as doing a UA override in about:config does not help this time, where with some previous changes at GMX, playing with the UA did solve a similar problem. If anyone has a Mail.com account [same parent company], the same thing has been happening there, according to a friend who has one, and they have also tried the latest version of the 31 series of Pale Moon, as well as some more recent versions of FireFox than I can try, as they run Win 7. Thanks.
