Most sadly, that test can't be run under a UXP-based browser , because the website requires Javascript features not supported in UXP: This is a well known villain when it comes to UXP (i.e. dynamic module import): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/import First implemented in Firefox Quantum 67, UXP has a longstanding "open" issue about it: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/1691 TL;DR: No light at the end of the tunnel any time soon, if ever...

I don't think they'll mind if I repost it here, at least temporarily: This isn't the full list, but gives you the idea. Any of those could be reasonable in isolation, but they do add up! In particular, it seems like a bit of overkill to add ads to outgoing messages and impose all the other restrictions! Is it adware or is it feature-limited? Shouldn't be both, IMO. Guess I'll pony up for the paid version.2 points

This has been the case for years and is an inevitable development. I can live with that as long as the life-support machines are not completely switched off.2 points

The WebSocket protocol is a TCP-based network protocol designed to establish a bidirectional connection between a web application and a WebSocket server. From a technical point of view, with WebSocket, as with HTTP, the client starts a request, with the difference that after the transmission of the data to establish the connection, the underlying TCP connection remains in place and enables asynchronous transmissions in both directions.

Lol ... far too many other things in life to obsess over ... such as, does the light go out the we close the refrigerator door? I have "first hand" knowledge that indeed the light goes out - was quite small and tight squeeze and a bit chilly.2 points

re: zip versus portable versus standalone versus no-install versus permanent registry versus temporary registry... ie, "stealth" entry at https://www.portablefreeware.com/ pertaining to registry and portable but app still referred to as "portable". I'm not going to obsess over semantics. We have less than a dozen people using 360Chrome and more than two dozen critiquing it. Those numbers are kind of upside-down in my view. What would "Start Is Back" say if I started posting in that thread despite never using "Start Is Back"?2 points

Microsoft ended support for its Windows 7 operating system in 2020 Microsoft's initial plan was to limit extended support to three years after support ended, but it appears that the company could extend support by another three years, making it six years in total. Our colleagues over at Deskmodder report that the July security updates KB5015861 and KB5015862 include the required ESU licenses and keys to extend support beyond the first three years. The second extension would guarantee support of Windows 7 until January 2026. Microsoft creates updates for the following Windows 7 editions as part of the extended security updates program: Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise Windows 7 SP1 Pro Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Embedded Standard 7 Windows Embedded POS Ready 7 Microsoft released the monthly and security-only cumulative updates for Windows 7 ESU systems as part of the July 2022 Patch Day. ESU updates can only be installed officially on licensed machines. Bypasses exist to install Microsoft's official updates on Windows 7 Home devices, including Windows 7 Home and Professional. Microsoft has not confirmed or denied the extension of Windows 7 ESU. Windows 7 holds a sizeable share of the desktop operating system market. Statcounter, one of the third-party companies that is tracking usage statistics, sees it at 11.54% of the Windows market share. Windows 11, Microsoft's newest operating system, sits at 10.96%, which makes Windows 7 the second most used version of Windows according to the company. It makes sense to extend support if the numbers are close to real usage numbers. Organizations may require more time to move to a new version of Windows, or another operating system. The extension gives organizations that time. Organizations who have devices with ESU can protect the devices for another three years. Microsoft announced earlier this month that it won't provide Windows 8.1 customers with a similar offer. Windows 8.1's usage share is less than 3% according to Statcounter, even though it is still officially supported. If Windows 7 support is extended by another three years, it would mean that the operating system will be supported for longer than its direct successor, Windows 8.1, and even Windows 10. Both operating systems will run out of support before 2026. Microsoft could offer support extensions for Windows 10, the most used version of Windows at the time of writing. Now You: what is your take on this? (Taken from an article by ghacks)1 point

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD @Dietmar I just tried it with MSI Z590-A and GA-H470-HD3 boards: it works correctly. Thanks1 point

I recently setup this browser on my Vista SP2 installation. HW compositing only works via D3D9(Ex) (using chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist), but WebGL does not, so I left it disabled , there are errors in D3D9 mode and D3D11 mode doesn't init at all (with --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds since D3D11 is also blocked via that bug list), even OpenGL mode requires D3D11 (error DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL during init), probably D3D11 Win7 got with updates is required. Still, HTML5 videos at decent resolutions are watchable here despite non-functional GPU video decoding. Interestingly, the load on both CPU and GPU is less than on recent Serpent 52, same video codec (h.264) and resolution (1080p60). The GPU doesn't have to switch from the lowest frequency and there's a difference in temperature by 2 degrees celsius in favor of Chrome. It's very interesting because when I go from 1080p60 to 1440p60, it's not watchable on Chrome anymore, but remains watchable in Serpent (with hiccups). Skia Renderer is reported as disabled by default, enabling it in chrome://flags prevents tons of errors from popping up on chrome://gpu page otherwise while browsing. Some people use Skype or Teams in the browser, the latter seems popular in business environment (both WANT you to use Chrome, obviously one can forget official Electron based clients on legacy OS), this browser still loads both, I can only tell that microphone (or at least its port) exposed through Windows recording devices is detected (both on XP and Vista), though couldn't test if the sound goes through since don't have am actual mic at hand. Also found an extension dealing with font contrast if anyone's interested - Chrome Font Super Enhancer, obviously can only mess with CSS properties, but uses some formula to determine the values. Late edit: WebGL1 works partially.1 point

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD Waaooh , power consumption with 0% load goes down to 1.4 Watt with the new acpi.sys v7 on the 12900k cpu Dietmar EDIT: I test this on the Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 with 12900k cpu and 32 Gb ram. With its new Bios version F22 this is a very nice board for XP SP3.1 point

I will give OE Classic a try; thanks. Looks like it supports everything I need. The only thing I couldn't find at the link was, which features are only available in the paid version? Guess I'll have to download it and try it to find that out. But to be fair, the paid version isn't very expensive. Well, that was completely wrong. When I got back to the office last Monday, on a lark I decided to try my old email client, Windows Live Mail 2009, which does not support OAuth at all. Surprisingly, it worked! This showed me that, despite what I had read, "legacy" authentication was still working, and I concluded that IceDove/IceApe wasn't using OAuth at all. It's just sending my ID and password to the O365 servers, then those servers contact my workplace servers to validate my password the "old fashioned" way. M$ was supposed to disable all authentication methods besides OAuth as of Oct. 1, but I learned that organizations using O365 can get a short "reprieve," allowing old authentication to work until Jan. 1. My workplace must have done this. So I have a couple more weeks before I need to find a new email client; time I'm using to upload my old emails to Micro$oft's servers so they won't be "trapped" in Windows Live Mail when it stops working with O365. That still leaves the question of why OAuth in MailNews didn't work. I think the link above provides a clue: BOC removed OAuth support from Interlink because the "big boys," particularly Google and Micro$oft, started requiring that apps be registered with their services in order to use OAuth, and he felt Google's registration requirement, at least, was too onerous. (His post didn't mention Micro$oft.) Without registration, OAuth support won't work. I don't know how far he got before he pulled the plug, though. If he got as far as obtaining an application ID and "secret," those are presumably still present in MailNews and in theory could be registered with O365, allowing MailNews to work. (Personally, I think a better approach than taking his ball and going home would have been to make the ID and "secret" user preferences that could be set, say, to Mozilla Thunderbird's ID and "secret." Then the user could just pretend to be using Thunderbird. This is the approach used by an OAuth "proxy" I found at GitHub.)1 point

I find security issues well overblown. People really believe their home machines are as much of a solid target for malware if they barely keep them turned on in a year as much as a company would and rarely expose themselves besides by their ports and IP itself. I sincerely doubt antiviruses are necessary at all aside from a classic 90s-like malware scan ran weekly if you are simply keeping a routine of using and turning your computer at suspend or shutdown time randomly across the day.1 point

Do Animals Have ESP? Veterinarian Explores Accounts of Creatures That Seem to Possess Clairvoyance BY TARA MACISAAC Veterinarian Dr. Michael Fox has encountered many stories of dogs seeming to sense from a distance that their masters are in trouble and other such experiences that seem to indicate animal clairvoyance. Dr. Fox believes that animals can tap into what he calls the “empathosphere,” where thoughts and feelings physically exist. Animals seem able to detect events at a geographical distance or to find their way to useful places (such as the locations of their masters) even if they’ve never been to those locations before. This arises from their heightened empathy, according to Dr. Fox. Animals’ abilities function “more cleanly than ours, which … [are] buried most of the time under the weight of consciousness,” Michael Jawer, co-author of “The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion,” told The Epoch Times, explaining Dr. Fox’s theory. Here are a few surprising stories of animals seeming to sense things in a way we can’t yet explain. 1. Animals Travel Miles to Refuge They’ve Never Been to Before ...

Well, my applications still work, my hardware still works, and it does everything I need it to do, so in my case, yes. The beauty of things like this, is that something is only really usable for what you need it for personally (I know someone in person who still daily drives w2k just fine!), so if you need newer hardware or applications for your daily needs, probably not. There are some risks associated with sticking with 7, but I accept those risks and worries, as Windows 10/11 and Linux don't really do all that I need them to, while 7 still works just fine. I can see myself using it for the foreseeable future, and probably beyond as well. ヽ(・∀・)ノ1 point

i really don't understand why is everyone so obsessed with these "security updates" ? i use 7 sp1 with patches untill 2015, later when they started integrating telemetry i didn't install a single update and my OS runs perfect ... why all the paranoia ?1 point

This would be nice if it were true, but still this doesn't guarantee that programs and software developers will choose to continue to support Windows 7 for much longer, which is what I, at least, consider to be the primary concern in the most recent coming of years. σ( ̄、 ̄〃) If these updates exist, I would also assume they would be purely security updates targeting POS systems, ATMs, etc. that still run 7, and that Microsoft might not offer them up to the public, making it a purely enterprise kind of thing. Truth be told, most people with Common Sense™ (and an antivirus if you're paranoid) would probably do just fine using Windows 7 nowadays anyways, security-wise at least.1 point
