You lost me, so you do or don't use Supermium?

But you check mine. Oh, that "famous" fixation on higher education ... what about my education?

Why Vista? I simply like Vista, Why Business? It came preinstalled with my PC. Yes, in France we trouble ourselves with legit Windows versions, probably you didn't know that fact, Officially, I couldn't - my CPU is in Windows 11 blocklist for being 15 years old. But then again, if I ever upgrade, I'll use the official Ungoogled, not Supermium, there will be no need for it then.

Better skip that one, and wait for another fix. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/228

Who told you that? My pile of garbage hardware is described at "about me" section. Take my Intel Xeon x3470 (2009), for example. It's a 15 years piece of old junk, but Supermium runs fine on it, even with GPU-pocess totally disabled. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/42932/intel-xeon-processor-x3470-8m-cache-2-93-ghz.html

I got banned from the PM forums for calling Tobin many bad names. However after he banned Tobin for good, MC rethought that decision and unbanned me. And yes the forums there are much calmer. After all the hate Tobin spewed about MSFN I actually joined MSFN

crazy

I've just tried. I have zero troubles clicking on "Edit Topic" in my intro posts/topics. It allows me without any problems.

Recently @XPerceniolreported the same Forbidden issue in the below topic, several times he couldn't post with (copyright protected?) links. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182193-the-msfn-café-a-penny-for-your-thoughts/?do=findComment&comment=1259125 https://msfn.org/board/topic/182193-the-msfn-café-a-penny-for-your-thoughts/?do=findComment&comment=1259146 That said, all the links I want to attach or post, I have no troubles with doing so. I post from an unnamed Chromium browser based on v.119. (not Supermium)

In 2012+ mobos voltage is usually shown in BIOS. Voltage drops should be visible in any somewhat decent motherboard made after that year, for example my MSIB85 reports voltage fluctuations in real time.

Chromium browsers simply changed the user folder path somewhere around 90s versions, the launcher needs to be updated to reflect that change.

Na-ah, that just breaks other applications. I don't have a problem with chrome.dll having to be relocated at runtime. Can still move Chrome's DLLs a bit further from default address, which is better approach since those are larger than api* ones. rebase.exe -b 10040000 chrome.dll libEGL.dll libGLESv2.dll vk_swiftshader.dll vulkan-1.dll Actually this has improved things for me - thanks! as it turned out, that didn't help much if at all; at least on my Dell 745 Optiplex. This flag is pointless since what it disables is non-functional on XP to begin with. And there's a checkbox for it in the settings anyway. I never use disable that on supported systems anyway, it's basically saying: "I don't want to use my graphics card that I paid good money for, I prefer the slow laggy and choppy graphics content, animations and scrolling." Or: "My onboard GPU and drivers suck so I have to turn the acceleration off to avoid bugs and glitches."

I totally agree. But I am no longer annoyed by some of the characters in that forum. And I'm even surprised that there are also people who argue fairly and decently, and appreciate work which is completely free of charge for them.

Thanks! Good to know.

Inside your programme folder of Serpent 52 is a subfolder named browser where you have to extract the omni.ja file to a folder in which the hudservice.js file can be found under chrome\devtools\modules\devtools\client\webconsole\.

1 - Thanks, will keep in mind. 2 - From what I had been taught at school/academy/university - was Dutch, even Japanese for some time and then British ! Not sure about now. [1] - Hey, but they were. Looks like not anymore, and many thanks for bringing it to my attention ! I own such IDE-SATA adapters and also many Addon-cards from Germany (they all have the famous green Siemens board). NO "Made in Taiwan" shown on them. Since you can post links to the shops , I think I also can , here's the place where I bought them and many other parts. https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/p/90745130 I honestly don't know who the owner of the shop is ! Perhaps you will help us to find out ? All I know - the store is German. All parcels arrive from Western Germany. (not DDR, or ex-DDR or whatever they called it in English).

Never got any troubles with the German DeLOCK IDE->SATA Adapters. Need my German store link ? I can send it to you via messages. There also was some made in Austria, but very expensive.

Hm, maybe a new forum restriction for some Videos in 2024?

DRM is disabled in Supermium, and even if it could be enabled (I haven't tried), as per @VistaLover, it wouldn't work. I don't use DRM, didn't claim it works. I only say an unconstrained Supermium 121 in XP gets widewine, something I haven't seen in years.

Don't even start , I can write poems about how win7 sucks, we can go a long off-topic way. As for Supermium+Win7, win32 wrote it has "...widespread reports of freezing and instability on Windows 7". https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/230#issuecomment-1924401385

Thanks, I too try to ignore that dude as much as possible, I think he's just trolling around to get attention. He perfectly knows why we are here and what systems we use. I too have some "modern" hardware (though not so modern anymore, 2017-2018). It never saw real usage due to the same absence of drivers. That said, I don't think Supermium and its usage on Windows 11 is off-topic (if we remove his usual dubious blabbery/slang/cursing). The other important question, why win32 simply didn't base Supermium on the ready-made Ungoogled builds in the first place.

Confirmed Changed URL in first post to remove actions.

This did the trick.

Well, not that I like what you say, but thanks for the explanation, as usual.

... As I and several others already wrote, that WidevineCDM dll requires Win7SP1+ functions to run; even on Win7SP1+, the CDM won't properly work on many "popular" DRM'ed services (Netflix, Spotify, hulu, etc.), because those sites demand its VMP (Verified Media Path) feature, but open-source (non-mainstream) implementations like Supermium aren't being sanctioned by Google for that purpose... https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/169#issuecomment-1901651703 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/127 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/61

I used to only delete the startup cache upon every new release of SP 52.9, like one has to do with KMeleon updates, but with SP it's not needed apparently.

No "damage" to the RAM will happen, those are specifically designed for overclockers. Their aluminium cooling solution doesn't allow them to overheat. Voltage slightly increased by 0.5 percent won't magically kill them. No "greater physical consumption" will happen either.

I can take a wild guess, perhaps it's that forum which name starts with "ecl" included in your topic? It's been known for open hostility towards MSFN, some certain well known members especially, win32 for example, whom they even dared to ban. Not to mention, "ecl" hosts rather dubious content, like edited ISO images, forbidden here at MSFN, but it's just my guess. Another reason, maybe it's your IP they don't like? Forums are usually connected to a "bad IP" database. Not saying yours is bad, probably a mistake?

Works absolutely fine for me. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the first post in one of my ported Opera topics and didn't get "403".

A typical case of PEBCAK.

Well done! I have not been able to find any useful information about these strange strings either.

<em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$FHDH01"/> <em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$KHDH01"/> <em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$PHDH01"/> <em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$RHDH01"/> Did you find any information about these strings or did you just make up #$RHDH01?

Translation: You can run the browser executable with -purgecaches command-line argument. Or set an environment variable MOZ_PURGE_CACHES to 1. If present at browser startup, should clean its caches then.

Very weird syntax! Never seen before.

Unfortunately, I didn't. But thanks! Any further information on that?

My mod uBlock Origin Legacy and its browser or operation system compatibiliy To pre-empt the wild speculations about my surgical interventions in the code of the Legacy extension uBlock Origin, which can be read in another forum, and to steer them in the right direction, here are a few remarks on this topic. All code changes I have made so far are not operating system specific. Although I mostly work under Windows XP , I have also tested my mod in Pale Moon 32 under Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, for example. But I didn't have to do this because, as I said, there were no changes I made that could have broken the previous browser or operating system compatibility. So if anyone claims that I have modified uBlock Origin Legacy specifically for use on Windows XP, then that is simply nonsense. In my article about uBlock Origin Legacy, I have provided detailed changelogs for the respective releases, which you can use to get a good overview of what has been changed in each case. So I only see the following options for potential or existing users of the legacy extension of uBlock Orgin: Either they trust me and use my mod or they have to continue using the old, no longer maintained versions. There is also a third option. They can do it themselves. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Disabled by default in XP, i think (or am i missing something?)

Didn't those gents cost Feodor his last git? Anyhow, last XP-compatible version released ~10 years ago, so irrelevant to this thread. Last XP/Vista-compatible build released ~5 years ago. Are you suggesting the wellbeing of our beloved Information Superhighway depends on these? And the question stands: what, specifically, are they saving?

I'm currently in love with this one: Zenburn High Contrast Dark Theme https://www.deviantart.com/eluinstra/art/Zenburn-High-Contrast-Dark-Theme-for-Windows-8-552177110 you can then open chrome://flags and change these: Forced colors: Disabled (so CSS images and backgrounds are displayed) Dark theme: Enabled (in case you don't want white backgrounds) (no UX theme patch required since it's high contrast theme) or hc-midnight-v033 / win8msa https://github.com/nitschis/GreyEveTheme anyway, since you asked for AERO dark theme... https://www.vinstartheme.com/sem-theme/ https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v= e_ebJiTHl5U https://winaero.com/gray8-theme-visual-style-for-windows-8/ https://www.deviantart.com/hkk98/art/2012-theme-Windows-8-Dark-Version-286725057 https://www.deviantart.com/ezio/art/Gray8MOD-dark-Visual-Style-Windows-8-1-Upd-1-U20-346677370 https://www.deviantart.com/hkk98/art/2012-theme-7N8-Windows-Dark-Metro-29814121

Thanks! I don't know. In any case, not from my side. I'm not really a fan of Chrome. Under Windows XP, I mainly use New Moon 28, Mypal 68 and Serpent, all descendants of old Firefox versions. On my Android tablet, I have to put up with a pure Chrome world. Then please not under Windows XP as well. I hope you can understand that.

Yeah not only to the grave, I intend to be still using my old junk in hell.

For some reason I get an error trying to post a song now. youtube.com/watch?v=geUzURy6TKM Wonderful Rain - Les Paul and Mary Ford So the link will have to do for now until we figure out what is going on .

Interesting! How do you change the white colour folder background in Windows 8 (not 8.1)?

As most (if not all) decisions on Wikipedia (right or wrong as it may be) it seems like the usual internal war about who has more power or is capable to win a logic argument on the (stupidly complex) wikipedia internal rules and voting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Google_Chrome_version_history_(2nd_nomination) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Google_Chrome_version_history_(2nd_nomination) jaclaz

Of course it doesn't guarantee . But commuinists or not, the store staff is disciplined and works quite well under the wise German guidance . I wonder if maybe @AstroSkipper knows more about the store and the real owner. Thanks for the information about DeLock, I never paid that much attention, now I know. What I noticed - their prices went UP, when the assembly line moved to Taiwan ! And yes, you're right ! They look similar. But that doesn't guarantee both of them aren't a forgery/knock-off. That's why I prefer to shop at the German www.computeruniverse.net/

Thank you! So far all is good. All my four IDE hard disk in my Windows XP computer are in an excellent condition. And I have two Dawicontrol SATA PCI cards on reserve. But I hope I do not have to use them. I think I would even rather change the motherboard.

Of course, not! The last years, only from time to time. All for nostalgic and rather sentimental reasons! It's just contemporary history. And I have always been an Atari fan.
