Yes, but not via DVI. "Nov 3, 2013 — Dual link DVI cannot support 10-bit color at 1440p. 1920x1200 or 1920x1080, maybe." https://linustechtips.com/topic/71182-does-dual-link-dvi-support-10-bit-colours-1440p/ Like I said, try Display Port.

Generally, everything I said in my last post applies. But unfortunately not for https://browserleaks.com/tls which does not work properly with ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a due to certificate problems. I have just tested it. As we already know, this old proxy supports only SHA1 for signing certificates but not SHA256. For browserleaks.com, you need a more recent version of ProxHTTPSProxy and a more recent browser. No full functionality in IE8 anymore. Therefore, forget about https://browserleaks.com/tls and try https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html! Here is a screenshot accessing https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html with ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a and IE8: This service works with the old ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a. As you can see, the old proxy already supports the TLS 1.2 protocol. Therefore, it should work with MU/WU. But one thing is clear: ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a is obsolete and won't work properly with many sites in these days. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Not really. Actually, you do not need to add browserleaks.com anywhere. So, why did you do that? Anyway! Please, remove these entries! If ProxHTTPSProxyMII 1.3a has been configured correctly, entered as a proxy in IE and started, it should work immediately when calling up browserleaks.com in IE. In any case, the website must not show n/a (no js). Your current settings block JavaScript on this website. No good. All SSL connections should be processed by ProxHTTPSProxyMII. You should only modify the config.ini file if you really know what you are doing and for what reason. Otherwise, the proxy won't work as expected due to misconfigurations.

Supermium is not a "h@lf-a$$ed Chromium backport". All intended original Chrome functions work on Vista.

These days they fingerprint by the vendor tag and clienthints (this nasty thing still works, even if you disabled java) , so you will most likely just fool yourself . I mean, they will know you real vendor and they will get hints, but won't be able to show you the results of the test because you disabled the java script . I think I explained this to user arcticfroxie (or what his name currently is). I even took a screnshot . There was a debate where he insisted to disable javascript but still was detected by the HTML5 test website , while I wasn't. Later Tripredacus also wrote that he just couldn't see the results , while still being fingerprinted . This all could be foound on this website.

No , it's not , if one uses proper measures against fingerprinting and doesn't pay with his CC. Of course you need to read a lot , train alot. Also , such kind of a person will most likely avoid FB in the first place , lol. Do not use VPN from commie/"ex"-commie or five eyes countries . You need to read the laws of the country where this VPN provider located.

Well , it's gotta be short and sweet , yet right to the point . How about : 1- Firefox is a lying sack of sh** (classics , but won't pass the moderation , I guess) 2- Firefox sold it's soul to the commie devil, get alternatives ASAP ! 3- Firefox hides the nastiest FSB telemetry under the hood, yet pretends to be "privacy oriented". 4- Firefox will fingerprint the hell out of you and send the results to KGB. No. 2 is pretty close to your current name. P.S. Firefox , Palemoon, Mypal, Waterfox and all it's "forks" leak data to MS , Yandex , Amazon , Cloudfare , etc. They will fingerprint the hell outta you , even if you have their "privacy resist fingerprinting" on ! See the attached images.

@Mr.Scienceman2000 , great post , but somehow I think the name isn't too bright to attract the readers. It's not just "problems" , it's the whole browser that is a huge problem itself . Completely sold to yandex , that's why I suggested a more hard (brutal bashing style) approach . Basically, it's a commie browser now . Also , all of it's forks leak data to yandex too ! I'm just wondering why @ArcticFoxie is still not here, he wrote some marvellous , oustanding (bashing style) posts about the commie firefox . I ask you to join and (maybe) move your posts here . Just made you a compliment again , which you deserved. Well , arcticFoxie , if you won't come here , I shall understand , perhaps you're just afraid of the angry browser fans.

First, I wanted to say "I do not use" but then I decided to write "I don't use". Just a leftover. Thanks for the hint!

Here are two screenshots to show where and by what means modifications have been done to the user interface of Mypal 68.13.5b: The colours of the areas mean how the modification was made. Red stands for CSS only, blue for JavaScript only, and green for both, JavaScript + CSS. Cheers, AstroSkipper

You know I don't use Vista and never did before. Therefore, I don't know any details about compatibility with other OSes than Windows XP. And there was no real need for me to try it under Windows 7 or up. Anyway! Thanks for clarification! And happy Thursday evening to you, too!

... This is not a correct assumption , and I think I have mentioned this issue in passing in the past, possibly in another thread (that I'm too lazy now to dig up ); the implementation by cmalex (ProxyMII_v230813) employs a specially crafted/patched edition of CPython 3.7.11 (based on the initial 3.7.1-XP implementation by Dibya), which runs specifically only under WinXP SP3 x86; when the python37.exe binary is launched under Vista SP2 x86, it throws function errors: The DLLs enclosed inside the red rectangles are foreign to Vista and are, in fact, loans from OneCore API, Wine and/or ReactOS projects, while several DLLs/EXEs inside the "python" directory have been HexEdited to point to these DLLs, which, in essence, port some NT 6.0+ kernel functions to XP SP3 (see some analysis here) ... OTOH, default CPython 3.7 x86 (as distributed by the PSF) can run natively under Vista SP2 (but NOT under XP SP3), being, sadly, the last CPython version that works there; default CPython 3.8 requires Win7+, default CPython 3.9 requires Win8.1+, etc. ... Hope it's clearer now (... and since this is an "XP audience" thread , I didn't want to share additional "Vista-details" here, but since you brought it up, I indulged ) ... Happy Thursday evening to you!

How would have skipped Spectre/Meltdown patches when all Security Only Updates include ntoskrnl.exe?

And congrats to your developed Vista SP2 x86 targeting edition of ProxyMII! However, I thought @cmalex's ProxyMII version would also run under Vista.

That's correct. I noticed that, too when using the most recent version of ProxHTTPSProxy. That's why I already updated my post. Best regards, AstroSkipper

You still have 3 lines: "bootmenupolicy Standard" that you should change to: "bootmenupolicy Legacy" If you don't want to do it with bootice than use bcdedit bcdedit -set {current} bootmenupolicy Legacy bcdedit -set {b2c1b3c3-8029-11ee-a83b-c85b76503892} bootmenupolicy Legacy bcdedit -set {5070e151-81b7-11ee-a844-c85b76503892} bootmenupolicy Legacy @sharicov@gmail.com There is MinWin if you left click on "Mode" label. That let's you create a minimal windows. The other 2 features make no sense. First OS than create boot files. If you already have some VHD's mount them and use BCDBoot.exe to create boot files. Or use WinNTSetup and leave the source combo box empty while selecting boot partition and the mounted VHD.

As a FYI , even when using very recent versions of ProxHTTPSProxy, several fields in the https://browserleaks.com/tls detection page apparently don't work with the IEx severely outdated Javascript engine ; I have developed a Vista SP2 x86 targeting edition of ProxyMII (based on the original work by cmalex ), which uses: ProxHTTPSProxyMII-v1.5 (python script) CPython-3.7.17 x86 (EoS for py3.7) cffi-1.15.1 (EoS for py3.7) colorama-0.4.6 cryptography-41.0.5 pyOpenSSL-23.3.0 PySocks-1.7.1 urllib3-1.26.18 (script incompatible with urllib3 >=2.0.0a1) and when IE9 is configured to use it, the sections Protocol Support, Mixed Content Test and TLS Fingerprint remain empty: Best regards

I thought so. I had resigned to not using it, as I knew that October 2023 updates were going to be the last ones generally available. I have turned off the Windows Update service, since I now just manually update Windows Defender. So I'm going to run the OS as is for the remainder of the year. I'm still getting updates for Firefox ESR 115, so we're good until September there. I'm OK that I can't use these new ESU updates for Windows 8. I always installed the "Security Only Update" and not the rollups, since that allowed me to bypass the Spectre, Meltdown and Flash patches. End of an era. Next year I'll move to Windows 10 LTSC 2019. I'll miss ya Windows 8.

google is rolling out the new chrome extensions webstore site.

I have the same question. RDR2 now updated itself and started to demand even a higher driver version! Every time I try to start the game it says " Please update your driver. Game requires 446.14 or newer." Help is appreciated.

Thank you! The colours look like they simply don't have enough shades, whereas my old cars has rich colours, for example: blue is a simple plain blue. I'd make a screenshot, but all those screen capturing programmes won't show much difference. I'm fond of cosmetics and it's very important for me to see the lipstick shades. I put the old card back, all is fine again. No gradients at all, with the both cards.

Thank you! And which driver you'd suggest? (OS Vista x64)

Hello @a8s! Cookie Quick Manager 0.5rc2 (and probably most of the others as well) works in Mypal 68.13.5b. No problems here. Maybe, your profile or your Mypal installation is corrupt or misconfigured. First, you should create a fresh profile and try to install the extensions again. If this doesn't help, you can perform a fresh installation of Mypal 68.13.5b. Here is a proof in the form of a screenshot: Cheers, AstroSkipper

I's start with trying to set the full RGB mode. Perhaps something had messed up this setting when you reinstalled the driver.

Asus B760M-A D4 has a combo PS/2, so a good, proper splitter has to work in this case.

A good splitter might work in this case.

He specifically requested a new version, he repeated it several times, though I understand you're trying to help with what you can. Is it fine if I say thank you instead of the OP?

Welp - Chase finally lowered the boom this week, and it appears there are no XP-compatible browsers left that still work with Chase.com! 360EE (Chromium 86-based) doesn't work; nor does Kafan MiniBrowser (Chromium 87-based), nor do @roytam1's browsers. (I'll post more on those at his thread.) As mentioned above, your UA must claim at least Chromium 109 on Windows or Chase will flat-out reject your browser. (I found that Chrome 106 on Android does still work, so apparently 106 is "good enough" in terms of capability, and Chase accepts a "Chrome 106 on Android" UA even though they reject a "Chrome 106 on Windows" UA. An Android UA produces an unwanted pop-up suggesting their app, though; so I'd stick with 109 on Windows if it worked.) BTW, Chase.com also rejects Edge 109! I had to use a Chromium 109 UA to get in. Ridiculous. Anyway, with a UA that Chase will accept, you can sign in - but (except Edge 109) the next screen only has the header with no account details, so it's pretty useless. Edit: I experimented a bit with portable versions of UnGoogled Chromium. It appears the minimum version that works is Chromium 98, unless you use polyfills. StructuredClone at a minimum is required, but the polyfill contributed by @UCyborg doesn't work for Chase. Edit 2: Using some code I found on the Web, I was able to create a structuredClone polyfill that works for Chase on Chromium 97. I'll test it later and see if it works on 86/87 too. Edit 3: It does! Here's the link:

You're still on that "favourite" business? Wow, I've never seen the Queen's English requirement be such a big deal for anybody.

I don't know if you saw the post about adding new functions to new browsers, old win10 are already out of support by chrome 118 and up.

Maybe this is why they don't know what to do with the influx of "refugees"?

There's still no proper dark theme for win7, even after 14 years, simply too few modders available, and looks like the interest in that OS is too low. I doubt someone is interested. And I think win32 is more about Vista.

Another reminder, this is not a thread to discuss the history of PC hardware.

Back on topic please guys, this is not a thread about the price of computer hardware.

I agree wholeheartedly. Besides New Moon 28 and Serpent 52/55, Mypal 68 is another perfect browser for older operating systems. @feodor2 has definitely done a great job.

Thanks for the information! Good to know! BTW, I never had any BSODs. I am using Mypal 68 in single-process mode, though.

I didn't get them too. I told myself they would have to force my home with special ops, and even then I'll not surrender.

I currently have a girlfriend (born in 1996), met her in 2014, she came to my luxury city 'cause she wanted to be a model and she really did get quite some modelling with several famous French brands, also she was able to get a proper education in that area. Her father is absent (not sure what happened, I always forget, was he hit by a train or simply left?) . Now with the help of simple arithmetics, she is 27. Kinda old, so I'm keeping my options open since approx. 2018. Anyways ! Thanks for your concern !

Sorry, I assumed you did, because you mentioned valentin's. Sorry again. I'm sure you will !

I can't call myself a "loner", I'm just extremely picky when it comes to choosing whom I'm going to be dating. I even need her to have a voice like a singer. Too much trouble to find a good one who would fit my tastes these days. Also her parents would need to be dead, preferably a long time ago, yet she needs to be young (no more than 20). I hate interacting with parents.

Well, your girlfriend must be so cool, I only got a postcard and chocolate from my GF, while you got the whole PC on valentine's day !

Good morning to you too, jaclaz, always a pleasure to hear from you ! Sorry for the huge delay, I don't visit this topic often.

hypocrisy lvl 2000. My absolutely innocent posts deleted. You're not even given a chance to see them.

Good idea , I added TOR capabilities to my Firfeox starter , so it could be used by simple folks (just with a button click), I was following your advice . The link is above.

https://msfn.org/board/topic/183169-an-ex-dj-from-holland-hacked-mozillafirefox-code-and-wrote-a-tool-to-mock-this-pitiful-browser/

OK , let's imagine you live in some Zuristan with a communist/dem. dictator . (no real countries mentioned). 1 - All western websites are blocked. 2 - The commie police has all ISP in this imagined country under full control (forged certificates , MITM ). 3 - You need to write to your relatives who were lucky to escape to a free country . You still think a free working VPN is a bad idea ? Even though we assume the VPN provider from another (non-commie) country logs your activity .

Wrong , you just don't know how to do it properly , you need to inject it , not to use extensions and the such . Also , you need to block the platform tag in the browser itself . Do not disinform people . I remember our lengthy discussion in another topic where you couldn't cheat HTML5 test website, but I could and provided with the proof. Aren't you gonna say something about Firefox ?

@Mr.Scienceman2000 , excuse me , but the name is kinda nurdy . Why would you ask me then ? And , most importantly, it doesn't reflect the current (awful) state of things . I think those words " mitigate problems" are giving false hopes to the users . Of course , you may not agree , it's your topic . I see you ignored my discovery with 100% fingerprinting , lemme ask why ? This "problem" cannot be solved , the only solution is to dump this browser. Don't you agree ? But if you know how , do tell.
