Greetings. Thanks. And all the best to You. Is exist examples (theoretically) for OpenSSL 3.0.5 & Cryptography 3.4.8 fails? They switch x509 certs works from internal OpenSSL routes to Rust one. OpenSSL still work fine. Cryptography 40.0.2 2023-04-18 (that use Rust 1.48) also works (at first sight) at virtual system. But in real XP it fail because of SSE2 lack. I can't compile Rust 1.48 without SSE2... Cryptography 41.0.0 2023-05-31 - fail even in virtual because of Rust 1.56. Sorry, i'm not creator. All honors belong to @Dibya - Python 3.7 for XP and @whenever (from www.prxbx.com) - ProxHTTPSProxyMII: Reloaded I just put it together. Best regards.

AIUI, that's the exact case ; Cryptograhy-41.0.0/Rust-1.56 doesn't work in Windows XP SP3, because it (probably) requires APIs/kernel functions not available under NT5.1 (due to Rust-1.56+ ); previous version, Cryptograhy-40.0.2/Rust-1.48, is the last one to work under XP SP3, but its official release requires the SSE2+ instructions set; since cmalex (re)compiles CPython itself and various Python modules from source (to make them compatible with his SSE-only older CPU), he can't produce the requested (updated) binaries on his current setup (he compiles stuff for) ... I think that cmalex specifically asked for such examples : ... Not everyone here will agree with that (I have NHTPG in mind ) ... Best wishes to the both of you ...

...

"TikTok has been accused of aggressive data harvesting." "The warnings follow a report by Australian-US cybersecurity firm Internet 2.0, which found the most popular social media app of the year collects “excessive” amounts of information from its users." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jul/19/tiktok-has-been-accused-of-aggressive-data-harvesting-is-your-information-at-risk https://internet2-0.com/its-their-word-against-their-source-code-new-report-on-tiktok/

What "free-speech" can be given for the developers of software that wear foreign, hostile nation uniforms? Be it Russian KGB Kaspersky, be it China military TikTok, India will do just fine without someone deciding for them, they know better how to protect themselves. I never insulted you, not a single time. You, on the other hand, insulted me many times, and it was based on my nationality/country/lifestyle. According to you, It's OK to insult the French, but very "racist" to not use your Russia software you shove down our throats. Here we see your usual double standards. But when people point out them to you, you feel "insulted". I returned from holidays, I expected they calmed you down a bit, but no! It's the same old you, on your usual old track, with the same provocative behaviour! In my opinion, you're very toxic for this forum. Nevertheless, I'm still waiting you ask me for forgiveness. The collection of screenshots/posts with your racial slurs and insults are at your disposal anytime. I understand it might be in your job description, but * neither MSFN is the place for scaring Western citizens, nor is the place for discussing wars. Please stop.

I can't believe there hasn't been way louder noise on this. Great Progress!

For years many software have been available on Floppy disks, CD and DVD-ROMs or being freeware or open-source. However, not all software is easy to find, thanks to lack of record keeping and lack of availability. There are quite a couple of software now considered "Lost Media" A couple of examples that I can think of are as follows: ThinkDesktop Screenmates - a series of desktop toys released in the 2000s and discontinued in the 2010s. Bonzi Software products - software products that were released in 1993 until 2004. Many of its programs are now lost due to the installers requiring the Bonzi Software servers to download the files. Their product catalog included Voice E-Mail, InternetALERT, InternetBOOST, BonziBuddy and MaxALERT. Do you know of any other software that are now "Lost Media"? Feel free to provide comments on this thread.

There's mobile section. It's already "mobile" if you visit it from such device. Responsive design

I cannot and will not disagree with that.

I think that cmalex specifically asked for such examples : The last not working site I can remember at the moment was https://onlyfans.com/. And there were definitely more in the past, of course. However, I didn't log them.

All antiviruses became bad when they added cloud scanning. The only question you have to ask yourself is to which government you send your data to. Do you trust your government ? Or a government from another country? The reason US government say Kaspersky is bad is the same reason they say Tiktok is bad. US goverment wants the data of it's citizens. If everyone stops using Facebook, Twitter or any data collecting company that it's not US located they loose the data of their people. It's a war for your data. @Vistapocalypse I was using Eset 5 until it they stopped supporting XP. I have been too busy and haven't had the time to check Kaspersky on XP. Eset 5 was the lightest AV I've ever used. And I really appreciated their honesty when they allowed You to decide to not enable the ESET Live Grid. I quote: You will not lose any functionality in the software, and you will still receive the best protection that we offer.

fixed.

Why didn't you used the option of ImportExportBookmarks?

Here’s a critical analysis of India’s app bans from Atlantic Council that I am inclined to agree with: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/southasiasource/the-problem-with-indias-app-bans/

@VistaLover Here is a fixed version of IP Geolocator when using the Photonic theme in Serpent 52. I resized all flag images from 48 x 48 to 24 x 24 and saved them in a new folder img/flags/24/. Then I changed the code inside the file main.js in the folder js/: Original code: function setIcon(country_code) { var showFlags = lp.isSet(KEY_SETTINGS_SHOW_FLAGS) ? lp.get(KEY_SETTINGS_SHOW_FLAGS) : true; if (country_code == "ERR" || !showFlags || !(countriesSupported.includes(country_code))) { chrome.browserAction.setIcon({ path: "img/icon48.png" }); } else { chrome.browserAction.setIcon({ path: "img/flags/48/" + country_code + ".png" }); } } Modified code: function setIcon(country_code) { var showFlags = lp.isSet(KEY_SETTINGS_SHOW_FLAGS) ? lp.get(KEY_SETTINGS_SHOW_FLAGS) : true; if (country_code == "ERR" || !showFlags || !(countriesSupported.includes(country_code))) { chrome.browserAction.setIcon({ path: "img/icon.png" }); } else { chrome.browserAction.setIcon({ path: "img/flags/24/" + country_code + ".png" }); } } Screenshot: Now, the toolbar icon and the flag images are shown in a suitable size. Here is the download link of my mod: https://www.mediafire.com/file/xkha44rjidj5maw/ip_geolocator-2.1.0-Photonic-mod.xpi/file Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Hi again ; at first, I didn't want to further pursue "my" IP-Geolocator issues here, since this is, first and foremost, your own thread; I did bring that extension up, once in a post of mine , because it is the kind of extension with a similar target group like your fork "Check My IP Address & Location" ; then, after reading more closely the title of this thread, it states: Extensions and custom buttons for UXP browsers - Corrections, modifications, adjustments, and special recommendations so, since IP-Geolocator is indeed compatible with at least one UXP browser (St52 and/or St55) and it requires some "modification/adjustment" to suit my custom needs ,, I wasn't being completely off-topic, was I ? Joking aside, Yes, I made that realisation long ago myself ; this issue isn't, actually, exclusive to IP-Geolocator when the Photonic Complete Theme is being applied to St52; several other WebExtensions that I had tried in the past (and can't remember now off-hand ) manifested the same "huge-icon-when-placed-in-a-toolbar" issue ; all worked well with the default Australis St52 theme! To be fair, Photonic has been developed for either official Pale Moon and/or official Basilisk, none of which currently support add-ons of the WebExtension format; so, the theme's creator (Lootyhoof of MCP) never expected it to be used together with WEs ... OTOH, Australis comes with native support for Fx52-era WEs (and so do some other Complete Themes that originally supported Fx52, e.g. FT DeepDark v14.3), and this support has been inherited and kept in the default (Australis) theme of both St52/55... Unlike you and UCyborg , I don't "speak" CSS, so I'm unable myself to pinpoint what needs to be changed inside Photonic for it to become on par with Australis where WE-toolbar-icons are concerned ; if you do have a clue, please come forth! Thanks in advance .

I chose to ignore my Ignored Users list and take a peek at your post, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t calculated to offend me!?? As an MSFN member, there is little I can do about the lack of basic freedoms in China or Russia. The “free-speech” I was referring to was speech right here at MSFN. On June 2 an MSFN member with an actual Russian flag directed a question about Kaspersky to the only member who has reported success with it (or indeed with any real-time antivirus) on Vista x64 with extended kernel, and neither member was harassed by the usual suspects, which is highly commendable! Evidently it is not Russians who must be harassed for daring to mention Kaspersky here, but only an American such as myself who doesn’t show the proper respect for government warnings? Here in the USA, cigarette packs have featured government warnings for perhaps half a century, but I still smoke. Every road has a posted speed limit, but I still drive somewhat faster than that (albeit not nearly as fast as I drove in my youth). It seems to me that Kaspersky’s critics don’t show the proper respect for test results by independent labs such as AV Test in Germany, where Kaspersky has long been a top product. Everything else seems anecdotal to me. Let me remind you that NATO is not at war (and if we ever are, may God help us).

glad to know they have restored the side menus...

It's 8th month of 2023 already, he asked about 2022.

Why would those, who don't have free-speech at home, be given free-speech at the international arena? More of a rhetorical question.

As an MSFN member, one thing I would never do is create multiple accounts in order to harass other members and give myself false “reputation.” I’m sure that India’s immense oil purchases are of infinitely greater assistance to Russia than e.g. an XP user choosing to use a legacy version of Kaspersky because it is his best remaining option. (For the record, my advice for users of Windows 10 and 11 is simply to use Microsoft’s built-in protection and completely forget about third-party antivirus products.) Nevertheless, I thought India’s ban of hundreds of Chinese apps might be thought-provoking, but perhaps I overestimated the “new” MSFN.

My apologies for bumping this topic, but it has come to my attention that India has banned TikTok along with many other Chinese apps, ostensibly to protect the personal data of its citizens - although the policy evidently began after a deadly border clash with Chinese forces in June 2020: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53225720 That link is only one among many and I have certainly not read them all, but India’s list of banned Chinese apps has subsequently grown from dozens to hundreds. I certainly do not wish to start an argument, but this does raise difficult questions about proper forum conduct. As an MSFN member, should I show my solidarity with the “world’s largest democracy” (not to mention the fairly large democracy I was born in) by discouraging the use of TikTok, and perhaps even all Chinese software? Would this not contradict the free-speech position I have taken with respect to Kaspersky (which is a Russian company in case someone still doesn’t know that)? Might it be considered racist to even point out the Chinese origins of software? (If so, then I might be guilty - a rare occasion when my chief antagonist expressed approval for one of my posts.) Might it be considered racist to attach greater weight to software bans by Western governments than to software bans by the government of India? 🤔 The wisdom of avoiding all political topics here is becoming increasingly clear to me. Have a nice day.

Can I ask if Windows 8 has been fixed? badland

Yeah, it's my favorite game too. Had a lot of fun with it.

I have some very old soft on my 20 years old PC Workstation. Starting with # inch Ninja funny game. Some desktop bugs/worms or dwarf or hamster screensavers and more And big collection of very old CD with free soft. Love Recoil game. The best tank game ever

We still have my favourite DAVE-H.

1 - Oh, I noticed, trust me ! 2 - This has nothing to do with superstition, it's energy charged items (enchanted). And we all know what energy can do and we all know it has scientific explanation.

Maybe, you and I will be the new senior members from now on. Time moves on, as you know. A look in the mirror speaks a clear language, unfortunately.

My posts always contain smileys as you know. I am not superstitious.

You're right, better not to watch. Stay calm/safe and all the best.

I can literally feel it ... When I was younger, I was very often jinxed by nice girls or ladies.

And that was a wise decision!

I am old school in some or maybe quite a few things. I only use social media when it's necessary. After switching on my smartphone, I'm actually already annoyed when WhatsApp reports: "You have 248 new messages". You don't really want to read 99% of them.

1 - We have no chance to check what would they do in the 40s, if they had phones. Tiktok and others are being heavily financed with the money of CCP ( Chinese Communist Party ). Facebook(instagram) with the russian money. It is written all over the internet and no secret. Mask with the Saudi money (his startup, at least). So no surprise at all. Lots of possibilities with that kind of money. Lots of influence. Can do whatever they want 'cause it's not hard earned and comes from tax money. 2 - You're edgy ? Lol, no. Hell, no.

One of my ideas was a loop using the command tasklist. Unfortunately, loops do have the disavantage of high processor load. That's correct! Alternatively, a monitoring of ProxHTTPSProxy.exe is possible if it exists (depends on the type of call), too.

Thanks for the explanation . The absence of DWM is a big downside , that's for sure . I don't know what I did , it was so many attempts and testing procedures (trying various drivers , reinstalling again and again , etc) , but somehow I've managed to switch to "cartoonishly moving mode" instead of tearing . I do not know how to name it properly . It's like when I move a folder , it draws a new one (where I place it) , while keeping the folder in the previous position intact . In this "mode" the games that I run in windowed mode ran without any tearing , still slow , but without tearing . And now it's gone (the "mode"), after reboot . And I do not know how to get it back . Funny.

From what I can tell , English is not the OP's mother tongue . Perform a simple search and you'll see that "duel" instead of dual is used by Indians. I can easily tell if someone is Dutch , German , English (British) , Italian , Swedish (by the looks and sometimes by the style of one's writing), but when it comes to Asians (Indians are Asians, right ? ) ... well this is not my strongest side. So don't judge if I'm wrong , but I think the guy from the "duel boot" video is Indian . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-m5KUeb_o0 Or here some "duels" too. https://noobsplanet.com/index.php?threads/duel-boot-triple-boot-or-quad-boot-with-hackintosh.11/ https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/gs0s1o/create_duelboot_windows_on_hackintosh_drive/ Though , it doesn't mean the OP is not from US , he may be Indian , but currently living in the States. Nowadays there are a lot of Indians in Canada , UK and US too.

Wolfenstein: The New Order has rather simple demands . The recommended graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6850 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 with VRAM 1GB , so there's no way it can saturate PCI-e 3.0 or even 2.0. I'm guessing this is the reason it feels smooth on XP. OK , GPU-Z shows , but nVidia CPL not , why ? Seems quite strange , the same result with several different people on absolutely different hardware. Yet again , if I reboot to Vista the CPL will show the highest version of PCI-e. This is on the same drivers version . I've tested with almost all known drivers . By the way , 368.81 is the weakest among them , asdf2345 uses 347.25 for his XP and it's the wise choice , I would also recommend 347.09 and 344.60 for 900-series. But yet again , you've just confirmed my discoveries . XP is slower even with DX9 games. Why do I need this ? It's just out of curiosity , I've never used XP and decided to try it. I went from Windows 2000 to Vista in 2007 (skipped XP completely).

I think you may want to try this one , looks promising . I've had quite a good experience with them in the past , they are well optimised . Says your card is supported : https://www.nvidia.com/content/apac/icafe/my/spec.html http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/iCafe/375.60/375.60-icafe-win7-64bit-international-whql-driver.exe

@Tonny52 , what the previous poster wrote is absolutely irrelevant . 1 - GTA V : You couldn't get such old drivers installed, 'cause they are too old for this card. So why he even mentioned about 36.x.x !? 2 - Cyberpunk 2077 (is this a mockery of some kind ? It's pretty obvious that the card is too weak for this) . 3 - "Having the latest one is necessary for playing modern titles" . No , it's not . See why . It's a well known thingy - developers from Eastern Europe love to force people to the newest drivers , like in this case . But what do we get in return ? Cyberpunk 2077 is a buggy , totally unplayable game . So let them "update" their drivers and play themsleves their "games". 4 - I have a good example of a modern game with absolutely outstanding graphics - Iron Harvest. It runs on drivers from 2013 - 2014 without any bugs ! But these develepors are from Western Europe (Germany). Feel the difference . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Art_Games Some links to the sources: "Investors sue Cyberpunk 2077 developers because game is unplayable": https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/investors-sue-cyberpunk-2077-developer-because-game-is-unplayable/ar-BB1cd85u You may try driver 382.33 , if you want smth newer - 416.34 , 418.81 are the best from the new , not good as the older ones , of course. (will be slower). Don't forget to remove telemetry before the installation with Nvidia slimmer . And use DDU to delete the previous drivers in SAFE mode . https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-Graphics-Driver-382-33.shtml

Hi , why do you need the latest driver ? Your card is like what , 5 y.o. ? It's a well known situation when Nvidia slows down the older gens in favour of the newer ones. I don't know if it's done on purpose or not , but for me it's a fact. I'm still running 344.xx from 2014 and there are no better drivers yet . I've tested almost all available. You'd better use something closer to the release date of you card or up to 1 year of it's production. Also , it's a fairytale about "newest" drivers and whatnot.

SetThreadErrorMode replace with SetErrorMode , this should do. DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo = I'm afraid you're outta luck with this one , it's a tough uncle of a bleach , otherwise the game would definitely launch. Perhaps win32 will suggest something too.
