trying to do a preliminary v141-xp build, seems working.

Never asked for or sought help on any chrome based browser. To make it even clearer. Just commented stuff and some users spontaneously gave their help. I never wanted to use Bing as a search engine. And I wrote _oogle because clearly was never interested in any help on that. Faced with the possibility that Roytam may not be able to go ahead, we are chatting about alternatives, which refers back to the thread. We are still talking about the best legacy FF option for XP. To my mind it's still Serpent Basilisk. Sometimes we border on off-thread, yes, but no one has been rude to anyone. Quite the opposite.

This message is not as intrusive as in Chrome, you can see it in the "About Firefox" window (the line above the version number). But the yellow triangle on the menu button is much more noticeable, it reports the inability to receive updates, I disabled auto-update via system policies, but it did not help, it worked disabling several parameters in about:config: app.update.service.enabled, app.update.staging.enabled switched to false, app.update.url.details, app.update.url.manual deleted lines.

Everyone uses many different hardware and OS on this forum. If a person knows how to do this, they may not visit the site immediately or be here all the time. It is possible that no one here can answer the question. Bumping the topic doesn't do you any favors.

Do you have a tester? Any simple tester would do just fine.

I didn't even know about this yellow triangle. I had it and it was because an extension wasn't working and I was able to fix it.

It's always kind of been a fine line on what off-topic enquiries are allowed and which cause an uprising. Just pointing out that your attempt at making Bing your default and removing Google as your default would have been answered faster if it were in the correct thread. I personally don't mind off-topic enquiries, no conversation I've ever had in my entire life didn't "wander" from one topic to the next at seemingly random moments, it's not just me, it's human nature, that's how CONVERSATIONS unfold. The strictest of adherance to "on-topic" conversations would have you walk away three senctences in to basically every conversation a normal human is ever engaged in - that would make you the RUDEST person on the planet. I see online conversations not much removed from that paradigm, only the RUDEST of members throw out a "off-topic, move on" each and every time they encounter one. Hovering over their keyboard like a hawk or eagle in a tree tracking a field mouse or bunny rabbit, quick to POUNCE with their "gotcha moment". Kind of like how members LOVE to correct sspelllinnnngg mistaques hear at EM ES EFF EN. But I digress... </end off-topic>

Hi @mina7601 Yes I am enjoying this forum and thanks for the details that you have sent, Thank you.

Yep! And it is even possible to answer such a request by quoting, copying and inserting it into one of the numerous Chrome threads.

Try this, maybe? type about:config into the address bar and then pressEnter apply either or both of the following config items: Search for app.update.silent, then set it to true Search for app.update.url, then change it to a fake URL https://aus5.mozilla.org/update/ change hmmps://jjj5.mozilla.org/update/6/%PRODUCT%/..

At first, I had NO idea what you were talking about !!! "_oogle" ??? NEVER HEARD OF IT !!! So thanks for the SCREENCAP because now I can see what you are talking about - it's GOOGLE, not "_oogle". I thought maybe this "_oogle" thing was something Humming Owl came up with and not your "fear" of typing out Google. The handling of extensions is ON PURPOSE - if you want the Chrome Web Store to communicate with Google (why would you if you label them as "_oogle") then you MUST use the REGULAR 360Chrome version and NOT the "ungoogled" 360Chrome version. This is also true for Official Ungoogled Chromium, the Chrome Web Store is intentionally "broken". Regarding search engines, set your Bing as DEFAULT then you can remove GOOGLE (default). edit - ps: your enquiry regarding 360Chrome or any future enquires regarding Official Ungoogled Chrome should not be in Roytam's "My Browser Builds" thread.

By the laws of physics, the voltage always drops. So any *good* and *new* PSU is only 82%, at best. Some expensive declare 85% efficiency, so these calculations are for a mediocre 500-550W PSU.

I remember there was a flag for chrome to supress it, perhaps also a similar solution can be found?

Safer-Networking "Spybot - Search & Destroy" It is officially offered for Windows XP in legacy version 2.4.40.0 (2014-10-22). https://download.spybot.info/Spybot2/ It is a free anti-spyware program that offers the possibility of working as an antivirus in a paid version. I downloaded this version 2.4.40 in 2014 and it seemed more complicated than version 1.6.2, so I have since discarded the program. Now I see that it was the last version for XP and that the database is updated to the current date. Definitions can be downloaded in sideload for v. 2.x Version 1.6.2 is also officially offered https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-1-6-2-mirror-1/

So, I have a ThinkPad E560 (20EV003ARI), and it has all the Lenovo apps, including Lenovo Settings, Vantage and SmartAudio (Conexant). But, it said that the Lenovo Settings app has been merged with Lenovo Vantage. It says to use that app and to uninstall this old app. So sad that I rated in MS Store 3 stars. But now, I'm here to solve this problem there. I'm running Windows 10, version 22H2 (Build 19045.3086). Please help, thank you so much. Goodbye.

Notice: while there is no significant commit in upstream, and while I'm trying to plug back JPEG-XL, there will be no UXP based build today.

Great news, indeed! You give us hope again.

Here is a quotation about security programmes and their age from my introducing post: And of course, most important is that they have to be fully working without any issues.

I created a GUI installer for my method using Legacy Update's one as a base. You can download it and view sources at the same link (https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsVjtW11rJfA3FQANrgg_QXRMgfx?e=7q2PhN). I've tested it on any version from 2000 to 7 and it works. Tell me if something doesn't.

Hello! hope you are well, Yes I am enjoying the forum a lot, Thankyou.

Thank you bro.

Oh, that's great! Suddenly it seems that there are many more options than I was aware of. There are always times to test. Thanks again!

Starting with the latest Firefox Nightly (v116, Build Date 22.06), the warning you all know and love from Windows XP/Vista is now shown on the updater ("You cannot perform further updates on this system") in Windows 7 and 8.1. The message links to the EOL Page. The browser still works, they haven't broken the compatibility tho. You will have to download newer Nightly builds manually now, since the updater will be stuck at an earlier 116 build.

Indeed refreshing.

https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP/issues/2262 Apparently they will first go from C++11 to C++14 for the next milestone, and they will see a bit later for C++17. C++14 should be fine for XP builds for now, so roy has more time to figure out what to do. Nice to see a polite discussion about XP, It can be felt than the tension has settled down which is a good thing for everyone given the past griefs.

I could not resist the temptation. This beauty of a firewall is still available Sygate Personal Firewall ( spf ) which you may downloaded from here :https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sygate_personal_firewall_free.html I think majorgeeks seems to be a safe site. I did use it for a bit over 6 months and I found it to be rather good. The thing is I am a pc tools person ever since the days of windows 2000 nt pro. I guess the jury is out. @AstroSkipper give us your verdict then.

Yes I am. Version 18.8. Everything is tickety-boo.

Thank you @AstroSkipper It is due to my personal experience using aforesaid product which you might denote it as subjective. There is an ongoing thread Wilders Security. Please see link below : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/superantispyware-updates-news.391893/ I am absolutely sure you are aware of that. Quite a few, not very encouraging comments on Reddit . Also there is this youtube video where this product is tested against 575 malware. This video is in Portuguese. You can always put English or German subtitles. I have to say that I am enjoying this new thread very much indeed. Thank you Cheers !

Oh, didn't notice.

When I visited that website, my CPU usage went to 32%, which is way too much because I have a powerful processor. On a simple core i5 it would be 70%. Looks like they have mining embedded.

I quit celebrating my birthdays at 18, so I'm always young. I still take gifts, though. Dating much younger women and going to the gym also helps. But the most important is to have the right mind set,

thanks you to mina and everyone that wanted me to stay (and plan to)

I haven't had a phone since 2001 !!! No land line !!! No mobile !!! I've been using Google Voice ever since, my "phone" needs are free (okay, I obviously have to have internet access). It's also why I cannot use anything but Chromium Forks. Google Voice used to work in BNav and Mypal - it hasn't for over two or three years and I don't see functionality EVER returning to BNav, Mypal, NM27, NM28, St52, or St55. EVER. Around here, you can't so much as get your hair cut without the salon asking for a phone number. I tell them that my phone number is "zero". They pause and wait for me to ramble off more numbers, I tell them "I don't own a phone, that makes my phone number ZERO." I've had auto parts stores claim they cannot sell me auto parts or accept used oil recycling without a phone number, I ask to speak with the manager to show me that policy IN WRITING. The manager some how miraculously finds a way to get the cash register system to "work" without entering a PHONE NUMBER. If you think telemetry in a web browser is something to be concerned about, just think of all the DATA linked to your PHONE NUMBER, which in turn is linked to YOU. Don't get me wrong, I don't NOT (double negative, lol) own a phone on account of "privacy rights" and that telemetry/data, I just have ZERO use for the d#mn thing to be "tied to my hip" all day. Mobile phones are an ADDICTION, plane and simple. Those of you ADDICTED to your phone, I bet you hear it ringing in your sleep, don't you, lol. Or can't so much as go 10 minutes without reaching for it. People often CONFUSE my reasons for NOT owning a phone. They ASSUME that I cannot afford one - I can. They make all sorts of ASSUMPTIONS - sure, I guess some are sort of correct. But the biggest reason I don't own a phone? Because I find them to be the RUDEST invention ever made! And I guarantee you that you just made an ASSUMPTION when reading that! Sure, mobile phone users standing in the checkout lane while talking on their phone is RUDE BEHAVIOR - but that is not what I am referring to. When people call you, if you don't answer within three rings, they accuse you of "screening your calls" - RUDE on the part of the caller making that ASSUMPTION, a real LIFE is not glued to a phone. If you don't respond to a text within "minutes", the ONE-SIDED conversation escalates into ASSUMING you are "mad at them and ignoring their texts" - RUDE on the part of the person sending the text for making that ASSUMPTION. When a phone rings, the caller expects the callee to drop EVERYTHING, that NOTHING the callee is doing is EVER more "important" than the MEANINGLESS conversation about to take place! I could go on. Phones are RUDE. And more often than not, it's the person doing the calling that is being RUDE, not the person LIVING A LIFE and delaying a response until a time that is CONVENIENT for them. I haven't had a phone since 2001 !!! It's the singlemost important decision I have ever made as far as IMPROVING the Quality of Life that I live.

Mee two. Wee're nott riting boooks hear. Eye four won willl nott loose iny sleeep overseaing typohs ear hat MSFN.

I guess another way to look at it is think back and there were things like "Yahoo Groups" and when you think back at those days and compare to today, nobody does "forums" anymore, nobody does "message boards" anymore. It's a Facebook and Twitter universe. WinCert and MSFN and RyanVM, they weren't created to be Facebook. But it doesn't take a lot of looking to see how Facebook "persona" infiltrates MSFN at times.

I don't see that. I see a GIGANTIC difference "pre-covid" and "post-covid". From "road rage" to "net etiquette", the world has changed! It may appear to be Window-version based, but how much of that is that folks running 10 or 11 "never heard of" MSFN? Is there really any reason for the 10's and 11's to be here? Certainly much less than the 98's and the XP's and the Vista's and the 7's.

Perhaps my words sound too frightening. Indeed they are. You just have to look past the meaningless distractions and see the meat grinder for what it is. https://teddit.net/r/MorbidReality/ Also, I'm sure @NotHereToPlayGames looks just fine the way he is and even if he does look to odd to someone, that's not a reason to attack him or anyone else for that matter. It just occured to me that I've heard several times now that also applies to country where I'm from that some people are afraid to go out in the night time while that wasn't the case 30+ years ago or so. Anyway, I'm tired and need the leave, which I'm taking very soon. School was much better in that regard, a week off every season and Christmas / new year period and 2 months off every summer. Now it's just work work work...what's the point? In any case, I remain a cynic.

Agreed, as dark and scary as it sounds, I too think the paranoia is justified. My only frame of reference is my little Midwest USA town. I am well-traveled across Mexico-USA-Canada (have also been to China, Taiwan, and Japan), but I'll use my "average" Midwest USA town as reference. I live a teeny-tiny-miniscule just-under 0.6 miles (0.97 kilometers) from three grocery stores and just under 0.4 miles (0.64 kilometers) from two fast food locations to the south and three fast food locations to the north. I have three gas stations all within 0.7 miles (1.13 kilometers) and one of them is within 0.3 miles (0.48 kilometers). With everything that close and no longer having a gym membership, I use the close proximity to all of these conveniences for WALKING to and from. It's obviously not the same as running that 7- or 8-minute mile at the gym, but this WALK is a h#ll of a lot more than what our "lazy society" has befallen to. 0.6 miles (0.97 kilometers) - this really is just WALKING DISTANCE. I'm talking edge of town Midwest, not metropolitan inner-city. I'm a shirt-and-tie mid-engineering salaried corporate-type with a military-style haircut and always clean-shaven. I'm not talking 1950s versus 2020s, but the world has changed - and the change is a bit scary! At least here in the Midwest USA, you only have to think back to the mid- to late-90s and you had a society where rollerblading and biking and hiking were very popular recreational activities. Nowadays, especially post-covid, a clean-shaven shirt-and-tie salaried-career-oriented law-abiding doesn't-drink doesn't-smoke member of society can not even WALK a mere 0.6 miles without id-iots in cars shouting out their windows. You get people shouting out their window calling me a "meth-head" just because I chose to WALK a teeny-tiny-miniscule 0.6 miles, with a spoon in my pocket, to buy some ice cream, and eat that ice cream during the return walk home. You get people shouting profanities and accusing me of being "homeless" - I paid off my 20yr mortgage in THREE YEARS. You get people flipping me off and telling me to buy a car - I have SIX vehicles and none of them have a car loan. I've often wanted to make a t-shirt that reads, "Yes, I have a car. I'm walking because I want to!" That's where society is these days, recreational activities no longer include a pair of rollerblades (I still have mine) or mountain biking. Our society's recreational activity has befallen to assuming anybody and everybody that WALKS along a sidewalk is a drug user and a homeless burden to society. My only burden is that I pay more taxes then these people shouting profanities out their "winter beater" and assume I'm homeless simply because I chose to WALK to pick up that ice cream snack.

It's not surprising at all. People are insufferable, scum everywhere you look, lying, deceiving, stepping over each other for monetary gain, psychological violence etc. It is my opinion if you take the gun and shoot some random people, it's highly likely you've done more good for the world than bad. Heck, that bullet in the head was probably too good for them. I believe it's better for one's mental health to avoid as much contact with other people as possible and reduce the chances of ending up in harm's way. Indeed that would be easier with sufficient wealth or at least if you manage to find a tolerable job that doesn't involve dealing with other people.

Is there a way to incorporate All of the these updates into one overall install into an even more integrated install than this current Updates folder method? In other words integrate/install all updates so it's now an all in one single install footprint, and does Not need to go though that Updates folder within which has SP2 and the few dozen post SP2 updates - which all those individual updates installers process then adds on so much size and redundancy just to replace files. For instance installing the Office base installer takes up 1.5 GB, but as soon as you install SP2 (which is just replacing files and updating registries) ..but SP2 is yet another nearly 1 GB's of footprint just to keep copies of the old, and then when you add in all the post updates it all adds even more - and all together it creates over 3 GB of an install footprint - when if all the files were truly installed/integrated within itself Beforehand without having to do it as a separate update process via that Updates folder, it would be a much simpler and more efficient install. My point is not about saving space here! ...it's about installer simplicity and efficiency. They do that with new Windows OS versions slip streaming installs all the time right. Why cant it be done with this old Office 2010 SP2 as well? Why the secondary Update folder that installs 'afterwards' onto the base, that adds so much retained bloat?

short answer, no. I only tried your latest version and the old 4.5.2. None of them worked, but maybe I'll give it a second try.

Is this a regression from previous versions of KernelEx? (Yes or No) Only if Yes: what was the last compatible version of KernelEx? Do not post anything more than just what I have asked for.

(This is a generalized version of something I put together to help out a member here. Of course after having written it I found out that @heinoganda has already mentioned most of this earlier in this thread, but at least this is prettier , so I'm still going to post it.) So, you're looking for an older version of Microsoft Security Essentials in your local language (for example version 4.4.304, the last one officially supported on XP) and find out that the web is full of English versions, but it's very difficult to find an installer for the language you want. Fortunately, you can convert an English installer into any other supported language in just a few steps, using 7-zip and a text editor. Any place you see Italian and IT-IT in this example, just replace them with your language from this list: Download the "English" 4.4.304 installer, for example from https://web.archive.org/web/20140325144125if_/http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/3/8/A38FFBF2-1122-48B4-AF60-E44F6DC28BD8/ENUS/x86/MSEInstall.exe Right-click MSEInstall.exe > 7-zip > Extract to "MSEInstall" (or wherever you like). Open the folder you extracted it to. Open setup.ini in a text editor, change Market=EN-US into Market=IT-IT. Copy the folder EN-US, paste the copy into the same folder (top folder, not EN-US), rename the copy to IT-IT. (Optional) If you also want to change the installation dialogs from English to Italian: Go into the x86 subfolder, open epp.msi in 7-zip. Right-click product.cab > Open Inside. Locate SetupResDllMui_IT_IT, extract it to the IT-IT folder you created before. Delete the existing setupres.dll.mui, rename SetupResDllMui_IT_IT to setupres.dll.mui . (If you absolutely need an Italian EULA as well, download the latest version of the Italian installer and extract EULA.RTF from its IT-IT folder into your IT-IT folder. Judging by the English EULA, the contents differ slightly between versions, but who really cares about the EULA anyway, right? ) To install MSE, execute epplauncher.exe. (If you want to re-pack your results into a single executable installer, search for sfx in 7-zip help.) Of course none of this would even be necessary if only Microsoft could be bothered to make proper unified installers that automatically launch in the OS language (or, even better, allow selecting the language at program startup). I mean, why not just do this if you have all 33 languages packed into the installer anyway?...
