It's not going anywhere, the upstream have moved on.

This is true 100% of the time. There is a 50% chance that today's weather will be exactly like yesterday's weather.

Not necessarily. There are some weather sites that have radar and maps that require WebGL, which I disable by default in my releases. So yes, weather questions are allowed as some users may not know how to enable WebGL.

Still getting definition updates for Defender

Hi all and merry X-mass, I got bored and with the help of @Dixel and some amount of inspiration I sometimes get from @win32, I butchered the latest Opera 96 (110) to make it run on our beloved Vista ! This chinese browser Opera is based on the newest Chrome 110, which is officially supported only on Win 10 +. Also, I forced it to use its native hardware Skia engine 110. (which is now blocked on win 7 by default). For those who still drive their Sd.Kfz.8, Opera 95 and Chrome 109 are the last for win 7, so as of now, win 7 and the extended kernel for Vista are not able to run the 110 Chrome version. Please don't ask me about running it on WIn 7, I don't know (or won't tell) anything. In theory, it's possible for win 7 to run it. But only if you edit the browser code. (which is forbidden). Only Vista related questions. Thanks. Opera EULA says we can't edit their code, so I shall share my hacks/findings with @win32 and maybe he will be able to implement this in his next kernel release, so all of you could run it without the editing hacks.

I'm watching this and will watch all tonight. How are you doing, @msfntor ; I hope well and staying strong.

Agreed. edit - but it's anybody's guess as to how much longer v86-based will render "modern" web sites.

Search for "AI Art Generator" ... unbelievable!

AI-GENERATED ART Artist Jan Robert Leegte (b. 1973) has recently explored the overwhelming nature of AI-generated worlds with Performing a Landscape (2020), a live installation comprising a storm-soaked landscape generated in front of the eyes of the public. Screens and projections offer a fragmented experience of the virtual landscape, leaving the viewer terrorized and disorientated by apparently preternatural forces. The spectator’s perspective is that of one submerged underwater, “safe” from the ensuing cataclysm overhead... From: https://flash---art.com/2021/01/episode-iv-ai-generated-worlds/ Midjourney – Art-making AI on the Rise (Create Images from Text) If I saw this a few years ago, I wouldn’t believe my eyes. Art-making robot generating astounding concept art from your text prompt, in seconds. Something BIG is happening! I spent a few days playing with Midjourney beta: https://www.midjourney.com/ (have generated more than 1000 images and burned quite a few bucks!). Can’t wait to share the crazy results with you – oh and also a quick Midjourney tutorial. Warning: there are a few potentially disturbing images (AI can generated some really weird stuff). Links -on the home page... Examples of Images Generated from Text: (My experiments with Midjourney, most of the prompts can be found in the video, open images in the new tab to see the full res version).

From youtube-dl's Reddit Wiki: Don't know if there are other GUI's that support XP... In New Moon you can use the "Open With" extension (direct link) to download videos or audio straight from the browsers right click menu:

I just use 3D Youtube Downloader

We're getting way offtopic here, but I want to mention that I can't get that last version of MPV working properly on my XP , which is in a virtual machine. I only get sound, but no window with video... I use a symbolic link for that, so that I don't need to rename each time. Can be done on XP with Link Shell Extension. See at the bottom of that page for Legacy XP download. Needs a driver as well. Could you try this one?

No, you're right... Ignore the size difference, that just has to do with how I did it, but looking at the actual font, they are exactly the same with or without it checked. So I'll leave it checked for Chrome.

Did you try the XP Display Setting of Standard for font-smoothing? That's pretty much the only fix I am seeing aside from resorting to case-by-case Stylus sheets.

Ok! So if users can't get the current weather forecast in 360 Chrome and don't know how to get these sites to work in this browser, do not hesitate to ask our weatherman @NotHereToPlayGames. He will get the necessary information for you.

Do NOT go, rest calmly here.

Robots with human consciousness will ‘eclipse humanity’ and become geniuses, expert warns M.A. Loreto Published: 16:51 ET, Jan 11 2023 Here: https://www.the-sun.com/tech/7111348/robots-consciousness-eclipse-humanity-geniuses/

Doesn't that make you afraid of drowning instead of afraid of water? When a waitress walks around with a pitcher of ice water to refill your glass, do you hide under the table and tremble in fear? waka waka waka Kind of like not being agraid of heights but being afraid of falling and hitting the pavement. If I had half a million lying around, sure, I'd go for it.

"Private island for sale for 440,000 euros: snapper, mackerel and barracuda can be caught from the dock The company also touts Bluefield's low cost of living and Nicaragua's tax exemption on foreign income. The island can be reached by boat in around half an hour. According to the listing, the west side of Iguana Island is calm and accessible to swimmers." ...but it's not for me, because I'm afraid of water, I almost drowned 2 or 3 times already!

The only BSODs I have had were caused by the 360Chrome browsers in conjunction with WiseVector StopX. Otherwise, I haven't had a single BSOD in years. Nevertheless, I am not at all surprised that most comments about BSODs in MSFN are found in connection with Windows XP which is the most modified and patched OS ever, full of ported and forked software. Just think of all existing system patches, the experiments with the ACPI.sys file, modified drivers and so on. Anyway! I used the 360Chrome browsers with rebased chrome.dll intensively the last weeks, without any further BSODs in my system. But one thing is crystal clear. The 360Chrome Browsers v13.5 have a Chromium engine 86 which was actually never meant to run on Windows XP. Therefore, BSODs do not really surprise me.

I think same as first release of SP2 x64 Small updates of ntoskrnl.exe doesn't change .h fields Fields usual changed between sevice packs, so almost files recompiled because kernel offset changes W2003 x64 rtm headers from leak are too old, we need WRK() as base and additional patches to match SP2 kernel I suprised why WRK is not same as SP2, official description: p.s. WRK is 2003 SP1 sources

Couldn't make the websockets module working... [Edit2] @Reino has an SSE processor and yt-dlp doesn't work on that... Youtube-dl does (built with Py2Exe).

structs_acpi.txt - compiled structs (KTHREAD already reverted) structs_kernel.txt - structs from real ntkrnlmp.exe 5.2.3790.3959 most important kernel things match(TEB/PEB//ETHREAD/KTHREAD), but need to look at all structs_acpi.txt structs_kernel.txt p.s. many kernels structs missed at structs_kernel.txt(.pdb is not full), so this is not 100% way to find mismatches

Guide available to install Office 2013 on Vista!

So good download link (with the "?dl=1" correction) is in the cmccaff1 post above. - Thank you both!

Very similar to Win11 I've setup in a virtual machine (minus the rounded corners and Win11 specific icons). I haven't booted to 10 in a while, currently reliving Win8.1 era and going through my screenshots I apparently never made a screenshot of my actual Windows 10 setup.

I decided to revive this topic, but here is my Windows 10 desktop I will call my theme WinOS 11 Big Sur (I will be releasing the transformation pack someday, but however this is the test before releasing this to the MSFN forums)
