There is no problem with IceApe. I can easily connect to all websites. Here is a screenshot regarding the https://o.rthost.win/ site: Either your browser is misconfigured or something is blocking some of your connections. Check your network settings, internet connection settings, security settings, and update your root certificates! In any case, the problem is on your side. And don't forget that the problem can also be sitting in front of the computer! (Old computer wisdom.)

Wrong, I have a huge collection of Vinyl. Again confused me with someone. Indeed, so why be rude and not appreciative?

My PC is much older, and the card is older, too. Look here for the future. https://msfn.org/board/profile/430186-ddraker/?tab=field_core_pfield_18

Sounds very contradictory. Which means you Soviet made wiring needs to replaced asap.

I indeed come from our Western culture, but you confuse me with someone else, my PC is 15 years old, and the card is over 10. This comment of yours is not particulary friendly, especially of we consider two facts. 1 - I was right about the cheap, old, worn out Soviet wiring. I found you the root cause for free. 2 - I gave you a marvellous advice to make a dedicated power line which feeds only the PC, also for free. All of that being from the culture you obviously don't appreciate much.

Not a known brand, and over 12 years old. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/xilence-psu-issues-several-questions-about-my-rig.1484467/

That would be great. The less bugs, the better. Isn't it? Now, I have observed another problem in Mypal 68.14.4b, a real bug, so to speak. Sorry for that in advance! Copying a selected text from a website to the clipboard and then reading it from the clipboard does not work properly when doing it via JavaScript. Although copy and paste natively works, it doesn't work correctly via a script or a code input from the Browser Console. Here is my test code I created to demonstrate the problem. Open a website with a text area, select some text or words, then open the Scratchpad (Enviroment -> Browser) and of course the Browser Console. Now, execute my code snippet: // Test code window.focus(); goDoCommand("cmd_copy"); var clip = gClipboard.read(); console.log(clip); You should then notice in the Browser Console that after the first execution, the logged value of the variable clip is not equal to the currently selected text but equal to the previous content of the clipboard. You get the correct and desired value of the variable clip only after a directly following, second execution of the code. So, only executing the code twice leads to the correct result instead of once. Any ideas? P.S: I should still mention that contrary to Mypal 68, this test code correctly works in @roytam1's New Moon 28.

Now it's completely gone, no ping.

Actually, is 11,763,650 (January 2024). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Belgium And most of internet users are on their phones, especially those born after 1997-2000.

CRX files are extensions for Chrome/Chromium browsers. Are you aware that this thread here is dedicated to @roytam1's browser releases? They are all based on Firefox up to version 52. So, what are you talking here about?

AdNauseam v3.7.802 is the last version for legacy Firefox browsers. It is from 28.09.2018 and based on uBlock Origin 1.15.24 which is of course older than the last, official (legacy) version uBlock Origin 1.16.4.30 or 1.16.4.31b2. So, what are the advantages supposed to be?

With WDM drivers (I think even in Windows 98 if you didn't use a VxD driver) you automatically got a "Sound Blaster" emulation without a sound card providing it, or setting anything in autoexec.bat. But in my experience DOS games usually stuttered when played like this. Maybe the sound was continuous, but the input was jagged. I understand that the question about these DOS games. They are usually relatively small in size that disk access and SSD wouldn't make much of a difference. It's more about how the DOS program is stopped to yield to multitasking. The buffer for passing the data to the actual sound card has to be small for interactive games. DOS games were probably not seen as important enough anymore when XP came out. DOSBox is always accurate. It has a high overhead as everything is emulated, but the speed will be consistent, and today you can obtain a fast enough computer to run it.

I think the word "gamer" implies a significant enthusiasm and investment into the hobby. One can play computer games and not be a gamer. Similarly, not everyone who listens to music is an "audiophile" in the typical sense of the word. I might describe a flashy styled PC component with LEDs "gamer's" or "gaming" (the latter seems more about what is directly touched to manipulate the game). One of the main culprits of the sluggishness of Windows 10 turned out to be the service SysMain. Of course, I knew about the Prefetcher, but had forgotten the service's technical name, which gives the impression that the service is central to functioning of the system. The disk activity is down after disabling it. I stumbled upon passionate articles in defense of the superfetch service (and other aspects of Windows). Their authors seem to think that Microsoft can do no wrong, and experts who disagree are without merit. Upgrade the PC and then it will work fine (and won't be needed anymore).

Every user agent has Mozilla/5.0, it's just meaningless at this point. You can either create a special user agent override for DuckDuckGo or turn on Firefox compatibility in settings under Advanced, as @roytam1 said. On official Pale Moon, it looks like like this then: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/6.7 Firefox/102.0 PaleMoon/33.4.0.1 For adding exception just for DDG, open about:config page, right-click on any entry->New->String->type general.useragent.override.duckduckgo.com->OK->Mozilla/5.0 (%OS_SLICE% rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0->OK. Well, you could add PaleMoon/Goanna parts if you wanted to emulate behavior of Firefox compatibility setting, but as a hopefully temporary workaround, I wouldn't make a fuss about it.

I don't agree with that stereotype. There are certainly gearhead equivalents to computing users, but you don't need to have the latest and greatest to play games, even the modern ones.

well from a programming perspectiv it is most likely the buffer it also can be the cpu what ticks cant read it out smoothly so knowing if this happens on a faster cpu/ram is also a little piece from consideration a good way would be to know 1: the game (i suspect its a game) 2: the source code of the emulator 3: a open source game if it has the same problem having those give you insight in the input (such as your open source game) and where it lands (the emulator) 1 way was already said, just using a different emulator one programming way would be instead of just playing that sound instead is loading the sounds into a memory location, memory accesses are a lot faster a ssd would also be possible a to small buffer can also be the case a false order (such as a wrong interpretation) if the source is slow the buffer is slower to be filled (delay) a very common windows function to play a wavesound would be playwave: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dd743680(v=vs.85) a codec such as mp3 use compression tricks that goes from lossless tricks to "what soundwaves the ear hears better "soundhearing" " the mp3 does not recontruct the wave as it was to be for example mp3 boost certain types of wave forms you might dont hear that so well - but in a wave compare programm you can see that then there are like longer discussions too for example that 18-24 khz discussion "can you hear the 20 k tone or not ect." a other one would be the "sample rate" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(signal_processing) often in a computer its just a small piece of data like "make 10 k wave" "make 2 k wave" ect. at the end a sound is nothing but a wave form i think it is certainly possible to find that issue but its work to do all the steps you have to search the right code, the right OS, the right compiler, the right debug toolz, the right places of the code, you have to run tests ect.

If it is lagging even with VDMSound, just run your programs/games through DOSBox. It's newer - with more functions than VDMSound. I never experienced lag with DOSBox.

you might have an example where and how exactly it starts to lag from what i know the ms-dos mode is not a real ms-dos mode anymore for xp it is a "emulated dos" some old ms-dos stuff do not work there anymore i criticized that trend also in win98 - in win95 when you returned to dos-mode useally worked ... in 98 it was bugged already you had to boot up in dos mode first windows 98 and his last release (windows me) still had 16 bit parts inside that gone away while windows me had its turn (and to my opinion was a bit more bugged then win98 SE) they made their first 32 bit only aka nt 3.1 4.0 and 5.0 (what later was called windows 2000) is it a ms-dos game ? its been really long when i programmed a dos sound device (midi and wave for example) so its hard to say where the problem is if we dont know the cpu and the ms-dos app sure i think also xp still has open possibilities regard backwards compatibility to ms-dos as i think xp has found a nice compromise to still support backwards, somewhere in the xp area and future compatibility

Yes, and the majority of them is being rich. Probably, 10-15. I think, closer to zero, read the first sentence of my reply. It's only a handful of die-hard old computers lovers, everyone else just buys new and shiny, hence no need of Supermium or the such.

No, when I allow "variations" fingerprinting to get executed, I have a different tag, not like on the picture you shared with us, and then deleted with the wise advice by @Dixel.

Here is a quotation from the OE Classic online help: The advantage of these open formats is that they can be easily read by other tools.

Due to the certificate issues all 360Chrome browsers suffer from time and time again, I would suggest to try ProxHTTPSProxy TLS 1.3.

I'm back after 3 weeks away! I have also just found that Outlook Express was no longer able to access my Hotmail messages, so I tried Dream Mail, and discovered that it installed successfully on XP but an error message told me that the ModernAuth component only works in Windows 10 and 11. I then tried OE Classic, and managed to activate ModernAuth in the way Astroskipper describes above. The old MyPal is my default browser, and it surprisingly even worked through that (I am also still accessing the Hotmail Basic Layout browser version through it for the moment, although I was expecting it to be cut off in August). I am finding that OE Classic works pretty well: it seems a bit slower than Outlook Express, but maybe that's inevitable with more complex polling. It looks wonderfully familiar: I am surprised Microsoft let them use an interface so like Outlook Express, but then imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery. Resource usage is quite low, remaining in single figures when in use even on this 22 year old rig. To answer Dave-H's question, every folder has an associated mbx file, which stores the messages, and a db database file (see image). According to https://filext.com/file-extension/MBX mbx files are Outlook Express mailbox files, but, as Dave-H, says, mine have all been dbx files. Maybe mbx was a format used in an earlier version? The free version functions effectively; by default it does a spell check when sending a message which only works in the pro version, so a message pops up linking to the payment page. This can easily be suppressed by turning off the spell check in Options, but a more irritating feature is that every message is preceded by this advertisement: "New Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail replacement - get it here: https://www.oeclassic.com/ " The paid version costs £35.60, but you only get a three year subscription, not full ownership. I'm thinking about it...

All mailboxes and messages are stored in the folder C:\Documents & Settings\YourUsername\Local Settings\Application Data\OEClassic\User\Main Identity\ in the form of db files.
