  1. Your profile suggests you are almost 23 years old, so I wonder what you were using before Avast? Avast Free 18.8 was the last thing I used on Vista, but I wasn’t really crazy about it. I wonder how much longer definitions will be provided for the legacy version.

  2. I've been with Avast for 11 years now and I'll never stop, probably. I renew the Premier version every year and it comes nicely 'cause I can use it on all my devices, including my Android phone and it has a VPN which I also use on a daily basis.

  3. @NotHereToPlayGames : Official Pale Moon (and, as a consequence, NM), has never supported WebRTC, which is required for (most) online-services accessing the mic and/or camera... Serpent 52's WebRTC implementation, despite being standards-compliant (the claim by "upstream"), is generally not "well-digested" by recent "chat/telephony" services, which expect the type of WebRTC found in recent Chromium incarnations... It's actually UXP issues 1279, 1285 , 1286, 2056 , all fixed by martok's (the author of palefill) PR #2060 (I believe martok was paid a bounty by MCP for his contribution). The merged code landed first on Roy's browsers (actually, ahead of upstream ) with the Xmas Eve releases ... ... Don't make decisions based on sheer enthusiasm ... That was just ONE long-standing UXP shortcoming that was fixed... Chromium 86 is years ahead in JS features in demand by the recent "web"... UXP still lacks a full and proper WC/CE implementation (that's why palefill exists for just a handful of sites), plus lacks "dynamic module import" support and a few other "deal-breakers" ... And UXP is still developed as a single-process platform; might have been good back then in 2016-7, but what about now when one tab might "host" a full-blown web app (with 10s of MBs of js code, e.g. web discord/desktop YT, etc.)? Especially on older H/W most of us here use, that "one tab" stalls the whole browser GUI by itself ... I'd stay with 360EEv13.5 myself (especially if WebRTC is a "must") ...

  4. This looks wrong, St52's mozglue.dll definitely does have free and moz_xmalloc functions. That said, I delete VC runtime DLLs from application folder, so all api*.dll, msvcp140.dll, ucrtbase.dll, vcomp140.dll and vcruntime140.dll, also both D3DCompiler_*.dll since I have all of those in system System32/SysWOW64 folders. Then dependentlibs.list file must be modified to not list any of those, I actually delete everything except the "xul.dll" line since the OS resolves other dependencies anyway. I actually have Visual C++ 2022 Redist version 14.32.31326 from 1st half of previous year installed, it was installed from whatever version of this pack was current then.

  7. Astrofalls.com NEW (to me..) astro website - next post... Full size of Cepheus mosaic: https://astrofalls.com/pages/cepheus-to-cassiopeia - Did you notice the details of this clear nebula 1/3 of the way up on the left, and another clear one on the right (giant squid nebula, ou4 giant squid in a flying bat), please? "Cepheus to Cassiopeia is an absolutely gargantuan image spanning across huge swaths of our home galaxy, showing many different narrowband nebula that are very faint and rarely imaged together. This large image which covers several hundred times the size of the full moon provides context on how these different faint nebula interact with eachother. Click to make the image full screen to really appreciate it. This image is a 35 panel mosaic captured in SHO narrowband, and it contains a huge number of the very faint emission nebulae which populate this part of the northern milky way. There is the flying bat nebula, the squid nebula, the elephant trunk nebula, the wizard nebula, the bubble nebula, the lobster claw nebula, the cave nebula, the question mark nebula, the ghost of Cassiopeia, and the pacman nebula to name a few. ------ This image required over 80 hours of exposure to produce, which took place over three consecutive weeks. This image is more of a galaxy image than it is a nebula image, because it does more to illustrate the interactions of many nebulae at once. It is also worth noting that these objects are rarely ever imaged together, since many of them are very faint."

  11. 29 Animals that Mate for Life: Monogamous Animals List By: Author Diane Diegor There’s a certain sweetness when it comes to animals that mate for life. Scarlet macaws, for example, will spend up to 50 years together. In this post, you’ll learn about monogamous animals, including birds, mammals, fish, crustaceans, even parasites. Up to 90% of bird species are monogamous. When it comes to mammals, only about 5% of them stick to the same mate each breeding season. Sea creatures and reptiles are seldom monogamous, but there are exceptions. Why Do Some Animals Mate for Life? 4 Factors While the idea of being with the same mate for life sounds romantic, in the animal world it is often done out of convenience. Here are some reasons that these animals will mate for life. 1.When it comes to birds, both parents are needed. The one bird incubates the eggs, while the other goes off in search of food. By the time the chicks are ready to leave the nest, it’s time for the adults to breed again. And who better to breed with than a partner who is already there, and has proved himself/herself to be a good parent? 2.In other cases, having both parents around serves as a protection against predators. So rather than impregnating a female and leaving her to fend for herself, the male will stay and help raise the family. 3.Another benefit is the time factor. Many species have elaborate mating rituals, where the male spends much time trying to win over a female. And after all of his effort, the female may not even be interested. Staying together for life allows the pair to get straight to breeding when the time comes, instead of trying to win over a new mate each year. 4.There may also be an emotional component. This is evident in their excitement when catching a glimpse of their mate after a time apart. It can also be seen in their distress when a mate passes away. 29 Animals that Mate for Life Below you will find 29 examples of animals that mate for life. Some of them have some pretty special and adorable ways of taking care of their mate.... MORE: https://storyteller.travel/animals-that-mate-for-life/

  14. I thought I had posted this earlier but I must have missed it. Patch location for timer fix and frequency divider fix from assembley code on first page. File was modified with WinXPPAE 3.5 patcher first. x86 halmacpi.dll (PAE) 5.1.2600.5687 HAL_acpitimer_fix @1933d 79 -> EB HAL TSC frequency divider fix @c7F 75 2D -> 90 90 @c87 74 12 -> 74 19 @c96 89 01 89 51 04 0F 31 64 03 05 AC 00 00 00 64 13 15 B0 00 00 00 C2 04 00 8B 4C 24 04 0B C9 74 0F C7 01 DE 34 12 -> 0F AC D0 0A C1 EA 0A 89 01 89 51 04 0F 31 64 03 05 AC 00 00 00 64 13 15 B0 00 00 00 0F AC D0 0A C1 EA 0A C2 04 First pic adds changes to an empty .TEXT area in the file after guidance from MovAX on where to put it. It's easier to read, so if someone wants to try to learn a little bit by doing. You can see the original code @C96 and @CA4. It is replaced with an E8 command and a hex number, read from right to left, for location where patched code is. 90 is NOP filler if there is extra space. In the patched location, you can see the original code that was replaced and the new shrd/shr that was added, and a C3 to return back. Second pic is less readable. Instead of jumping to patched locations it just overwrites code at the original location that looks like is orphaned because we changed a JNZ to a NOP The timer fix is for skylake and newer. But the frequency divider fix benefits AMD as well. It brings the freq down to the same value as on XP64.

  18. They're not talking about the same Office version. Version 2002 is the last you can run with Office 2016/365 on Windows 7. Of course, the actual version of Office XP released in 2001-02 can run on 7, just the request is to make newer Office 2016/365 releases to run on W7 (2003, 2004 ... 2212 and so on). Also I'm someone who is tempted to support this idea, as they stopped features updates in v2002, while in v2003, they introduced something I was awaiting for so long : the HEX-based color selector, which is much easier to use than the ARGB/TSL selectors. You can't imagine how p***ed off I was when I saw that.

  24. Someone is dumping dozens of guinea pigs in parks around Austin and nobody knows who or why Daniel Payne ··Jan 14, 2023 · NottheBee.com You may have heard of the campaign in Austin, Texas to promote and preserve the eclectic, charming, unique style of that city — it's called "Keep Austin Weird." Well, not to worry, Austin, you are still very, very weird: An Austin nonprofit organization is asking for the public's help after dozens of guinea pigs were dumped along the Interstate 35 corridor. Austin Guinea Pig Rescue told KXAN the organization is receiving frequent reports of animals in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Dumped guinea pigs have been found along I-35 and under highway bridges, within bathrooms at city parks and as far north as Round Rock, as well as down south near Buda. Okay, two things: First of all, there's such a thing as a "guinea pig rescue" organization? Second of all, who is doing this? The authorities' best guess is a guinea pig breeder, which I didn't know was a thing. Frisch said the organization suspects a guinea pig breeder is behind the high volume of neglected animals. AGPR is asking members of the public to keep an eye out for animals at these locations and to help catch and hold the guinea pigs until AGPR can step in. They've also requested anyone behind the neglected animals reach out to AGPR and surrender all their animals with "no questions asked." It's raining guinea pigs in Austin.

  27. Christmas release. You can rebase NM28 as well, it has bunch of DLLs, though only one bigger one. And check memory.free_dirty_pages on about:config page, set it to true. Found on Bugzilla that it was the direction Firefox went, something internally about memory management that should behaved like that from the beginning. It probably won't make much difference though, different browser, different quirks. I forgot, is this the one with about:permissions page? I wonder if WebGL performance on XP will ever be fixed in these browsers. It's at least a decade old tech and it worked fine...a long time ago. Performance is OK on Vista, though when I was browsing Shadertoy, I got some crashes (only WebGL settings that were altered were webgl.enable-debug-renderer-info and webgl.enable-draft-extensions). Specifically, searching for "bunny" and clicking through all the search results eventually produced a crash inside libGLESv2.dll. I've actually 'been using SeaMonkey's libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll on official Pale Moon for a while, simply due to the hunch that I have that SeaMonkey folks are more attentive to that component compared to UXP folks. And those DLLs are compatible with UXP, you get more extensions listed on the about:support page as well. Anyway, I tried libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll from seamonkey-2.53.14.en-US.win32.zip (Windows 7+ compatible browser) with latest 32-bit Serpent 52 on Vista and the browser did not crash anymore on Shadertoy!

  28. No it would not work. The problem is that UpdateProcThreadAttribute does not support Job Objects as an attribute until Windows 10 (actually since build 98xx where it works too). I actually suppressed the UpdateProcThreadAttribute error on Vista and it does not "crash" as such, but pages do not work, probably because it still does not actually initialize the job objects as such.

  30. Win32 confirmed and checked - my values are right. Who else you want to confirm it ? No other active members can do such type of modding. Ask God then ? Of course you need to extract it first ! Also you need to follow my tutorial precisely, (for 382.16 the values will be different, like I told you). And ,perhaps, ask the moderators for a tutorial on how to create a new topic, because I kinda have a feeling this is not the end of the story, far from it. EDIT: Far from it.

  37. 1 - For me, the CPL in your patched 398.11 didn't work at all, it was not even able to install. But the driver itself works very good ! Yes , the 411 also failed for me, I think I wrote about it long time ago, in my my tutorial P1. 2 - Yes , I do . Yes, I can . No, it doesn't freeze on the orb. I have lots of PCI/PCI-E cards in my system, like several Pro audio cards , two NICs , super speed E-SATA boards , etc. All of them are very old, like from 2007 - 2008 or so, but no conflicts with the cards, even from 2017, not to mention the fossils from 2013, like the 780 ti. I got freeze only if I forcefully install the CPL along with any driver newer than 378.xx , like I said. I mean the CPL which matches the driver package version (the one it came with). I'm absolutely certain the CPL is the culprit . I unpacked some later CPL packages and didn't see any missing dependencies though,

  38. @win32, so I took the whole (original) 398.11 package, cleaned it up with a special programme (removed telemetry , etc) and left only the driver , HD audio , CPL and the installer, then replaced the patched files and guess what , the installer says it failed. Re-checked on win7 - the package works ! Ideas ? Later I modded the 382.16 and several between 385 and 388 and they all worked, but without the CPL ! Damn . They can only be installed via the manager . If I forcefully install the CPL along with any driver newer than 378.78 , it hangs up at the orb and I have to do a hard reset . So something in the CPL itself is broken , ideas ? thanks.

  40. I still would never use the microphone input on the computer unless there was no alternative. The level from a microphone is very much lower than from a line level source, so you would have to have the source level set much lower to avoid overloading. Also the microphone input could have equalisation on it to suit a microphone, whereas the line/aux input should be 'flat'. Much better all round to maintain the quality of the original.

  41. I wouldn't feed line/headphone level audio into a microphone input, it will probably overload it and the result will be extremely distorted. The aux/line input on the computer should be fine.

PE format is collection of segments mapped to near regions of memory hal.dll has many segment, you can use only segment marked as .TEXT or one of .PAGE*, don't use .INIT look at end of each segment to see how much bytes are free before address of next segment 1) for example halmaci.dll sp3 v5512 has free ~120 bytes in .text from .text:8001900D to .data:80019080 2) in any PE Editor increase .text segment virtual(mapped to memory) size from 0x8C0D to raw(size in file) size 0x8C80
