He installed Windows Vista Extended Kernel. This is unrelated with vanilla Vista.

In this a case, maybe try to make it shorter? If you patched the header with new method, can also test it here. https://swifttls.org/ My result below.

Off-topic posts removed, again.

It's still version 86 under the hood and the letters "webp" do not exist in the changelog.

Yep, looks like you're right, I don't see any links to the actual webp they declare to "test", I switched to basic HTML to show it, but for some reason it is now in German!

I'll tell you, it's Icaros Property Handler and Icaros Thumbnail Provider, they included in K-Lite Codec Pack, for example.

I don't see how to apply it, it's only source code there. Did I miss something?

Waaoh, I just find a BIOS with ACPI support for XP for Asus Apex X. https://community.hwbot.org/topic/174849-rog-maximus-x-apex/?page=2 So, it can be done and I am curious how they reached it. I saw a dxe file with name ACPI in it. So I can compare original Bios ROG-MAXIMUS-X-APEX-ASUS-1704.CAP and for XP modded Bios ROG-MAXIMUS-X-APEX-ASUS-1704_mod3.CAP Interesting, what they change and how to come to this ideas Dietmar

Hi, the temperature with 100% load on all 8 cores does not exceed 64 degree Celsius during 30 min prime95 on this 9900k under XP with an very carefull installed, boxed Intel air cooler. The temperature with the same cooler reach 100 degree on 8700k under the same conditions with XP. So, Intel did a good job with soldering the heat spreader Dietmar

The thing is, screens are wider than in XP days so I hated the feature of taskbar grouping since windows 7. Tipically I set the taskbar to small icons and group only when taskbar is full. And well I shouldn't need important options hidden to me when I do a right click. I don't mind the new design since I can recognize copy and paste but it should have all the commands available and not hidden. @Andromeda43 Windows versions have not gone faster. They're slower. What they do to disguise it is never fully shutdown by using hybrid shut down since Windows 8. It makes you believe that your pc starts instantly. But you can confirm they're slower if you use a regular hard drive and a dual core cpu. We have cpus with so many cores and very fast SSD's that could make you think that Windows is getting faster.

And what if people just want to block it due to the crappy quality? "I hate webp with every fiber of my being......" "it's F...ing everywhere now. and they look like crap. id*** putting up low res webp's and just dynamicly upscaling them to fit. And it look sh*t. Blurry as hell, smudged... People have even begun using them in renpy games or rpgm, or any other game they are able to get it to work in." "It's just bad, even colours look a little off in them" https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/btblqh/how_do_i_disable_webp/

I want to share something interesting! Windows 11 is apparently starting to loose market against Windows 10! https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/worldwide/ Surprisingly, Windows XP surpased Windows 8 again!

there are some careless mistakes when people rushing to fix some bugs but it should be fixed for real this time

For example, not long ago we discovered.... The only known way to stop Bing from sending its home page image in WebP format is to pretend (via the user agent) to be Internet Exploder! Then you'll get a JPEG, but otherwise, it'll be WebP irrespective of the image format header.

No, I meant it's served highly compressed, not lossless. That's the whole idea behind the usage of webp, to save the bandwidth, and to hell with the quality.

I hope not - Serpent can certainly use all the speedups it can get! But in any case, at least it's fixed now.

A warning, yes that should be added. But more options will not be added. It's just a simple action like get used clusters and copy them. Adding exclusions would require complete MFT parsing, what I don't have the time to implement.

I tried Supermium, finally, well it's quite good, but not portable and writes BrowserMetrics info collecting. Open it with Hex, you will see. You know what, you're right! I'll stick to the ported Opera 97 and Ungoogled 111, apply the anti webp-crap patch to decrapify them, certainly. If you use Opera, don't forget to apply the patch against collecting info-spying, made by @D.Draker. https://msfn.org/board/topic/184249-chrome-110-based-opera-i-ported-it-to-vista/?do=findComment&comment=1238878

NHS Digital and NHS England already declared it to be "medium". https://digital.nhs.uk/cyber-alerts/2023/cc-4376 CVE-2023-4863 Threat ID: CC-4376 Threat Severity: Medium Published: 12 September 2023 2:03 PM

Yep, I used it, too. It is a pity that a project like WiseVector StopX was simply shut down. But I had the impression that the developers only wanted to get their hands on data in order to launch a commercial product on the market and earn money. The users were more like guinea pigs to feed their artificial intelligence (AI) they had implemented into WiseVector StopX.

Hello @George King! Any news for us? Although I am not a Windows XP 64 bit user, I am interested to hear whether you have made any progress in testing. Did you already install Windows XP 64 bit on your testing machine? Greetings, AstroSkipper

If a user owns a computer equipped with more capable hardware, why should Windows XP be used then? Simple rule: more modern hardware, more modern operation system. I am actually here to support real Windows XP users to inform them about security programmes. And this OS is ideal for old, weak computers. There are many people outside who want to protect their computers and have to use Windows XP due to very old, weak hardware for whatever reasons. People with powerful machines can do what they want to do. Whether it makes sense or not, I leave undecided. I have given my opinion on this often enough here in different threads. And if someone wants or needs to throttle the performance of their computer, then it makes perfect sense to install Avast. In any case, all my articles and investigations are meant to spread information including my experiences whether they are positive or negative. One thing is crystal clear. The mature readers can decide themselves what they want to use as I stated long before.

yeah confirmed, gotta revert upstream commit.

And here: 2 - Of course! Based on my experiences. 3 - Just to clarify, I didn't join whatever crowd you are talking about. I do not have that kind of camp thinking. I am an individual and, for the reasons I have given, I consider these so-called Extended Kernels to be questionable and superfluous. Especially in a productive system. As you know, I am a die-hard fan of Windows XP. Even if there was such an Extended Kernel for Windows XP, I wouldn't use it unless it would be official, which will never happen, though. And as long as Windows 8.1 works and can be used, there is actually no need for such an Extended Kernel anyway. 1 - You have described your one isolated case without giving out the technical details. With the the key words being "Long time ago", which means it was made by another programmer. Was it sufficient ? I shan't write my opinion, remarks or evaluate your sentences, I don't want you to consider me impolite. I'll just highlight some of them. "..additional kernel functions are needed, one has to change to another OS" "..functions are no longer sufficient, the user will have to change the operating system by necessity". 2 - Based on my experiences, I use a fantastic kernel by @win32, and have no troubles with it, works out of the box. And it's not a "so-called" Extended Kernel, it's a marvellous one ! The question is, will there be the same quality kernel for the OS being discussed. 3 - Oh I see, sorry , just a coincidence then, simple coincidence. Happens all the time.

Several "Eclipse members" got special permissions to post wherever they want ? And my innocent on-topic post, where I agreed to help a German fella, suggested to write me via PM, and said I love Germany - gets deleted without notice - why ?!!??! @Tommy, care to explain ? Let me remind, I ignore all attacks the certain pack of members ignite, just like I promised you.

1 - Why ? Elaborate please. 2 - Personally you, undertstandable , your choice of course . Astroskipper, why would you join the anti-kernel crowd all of a sudden ? And exactly now ! Please tell me, if it's no secrtet.

There is also the Rufus method - under ''image option'' select extended windows 11 installation (no tpm/secure boot) make sure that the Partition scheme is set to GPT and the Target system is set to UEFI (non-CSM) .

Take a look at the reboot.pro forum, here is XP SP3 32 bit on Intel Optane nvme bootdevice Dietmar

I installed from CD. This CD I build, via Nlite 1.4.9.3 and integrate there the Iastor.sys driver from the website https://www.win-raid.com I noticed some strange behavior during install via USB and firadisk. So, classic method with CD is best to install XP using a PS/2 mouse and keyboard Dietmar AHCI32bit.rar

Hi, I get all running on asrock fatal1ty z370 gaming k6. Acpi, sound, nvme, lan, video with Nvidia card gtx 980, USB 3.1 there are drivers for XP 32 bit for this board. 64 bit XP I have not tested. Celeron, i8700k, 9900k work there with XP. Very stable, I think the newest, best you can get for small money and XP Dietmar

This means, that the Noctua NH-D15 cooler is very good. I ordered the same one. For to enable ASMEDIA ASM3142, you have to put all the USB*.sys drivers in folder Windows\system32\drivers. I chose them from XP SP1 but I think other works also. The USB driver can be USB 3.0+3.1 Drivers v1.16.41.3, but the newest version also works, Dietmar

Hi deSSy2724, I downloaded p95v294b7.win32 from https://www.mersenne.org/download/ and run "Just stress test" without any modification on all 8 cores (blend, tests of everything..) on brandnew Intel 9900k on ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6, Corsair 3200 MHZ, nothing overclocked, have a nice evening Dietmar
