  1. Cent, I'm currently on. It has 10 extensions installed, look at the capture. Which again proves my statement about Supermium being too heavy.

  2. I'm terribly sorry, I never tried those, from some extensions I tried earlier, they randomise your fonts, and those, do they have a function of fixed, default font sets, let's say from win11? Thanks.

  3. Not only, it's used by "security" services, especially in countries with oppressive, self elected regimes. No one says to block all trackers, @NotHereToPlayGamesalready explained to you, and I always agreed, you have to blend in, which is very hard with Supermium.

  4. I would like to suggest to add toggle for showing icons for links toolbar, like it is available for title and text, and maybe modernize links highlight, to align with how tasks are higlighted if possible.

  5. Hello Everyone! Recently, for one of my projects, I needed to run Windows 95 on a platform with a GTX 1060 3G, and I encountered this issue. After solving it, I developed an end-user patcher. Considering that the GTX 1060-3G/1070 is quite a rare cards today, especially in configurations with Win9x/WFW3.11, I'm curious: do any of the respected users here have a need for my patcher? I've prepared version 0.1, and here's the draft readme for it: # GTX_FIX v0.1 GTX_FIX resolves the incompatibility issue between GTX 1060-3GB and some other Pascal-based NVIDIA GPUs with Windows 9x and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. ## Problem Description When installing Windows, the system fails to boot after the first restart. ## Supported Configurations - Windows 98 SE (US release) - Assumes Windows 98 SE is installed in `C:\WINDOWS` ## Usage - This patch is fully automatic. - Command-line arguments are not supported and not reqired for v0.1 - Compiled as DOS executable, allowing patching directly on the affected system. - Just run gtx_fix.exe on affected system to fix incompatibility. ## Limitations - This patch addresses only the GTX-specific issue described above. - Additional steps may be required to run Windows 98 SE on modern platforms. ## Disclaimer This software is provided "as is." Do not use on critical systems. Always back up important data before use. Enjoy your retro computing! crt0 2025

  6. I'm no friend of programming, so I don't know how, but it does. SSE 4.1 requirement of WASM SIMD is specific to x86/x64. I wonder if full blown WASM requirement is default for web based projects on Microsoft's front these days or can it be avoided by some reconfiguration. That particular website takes about 70 seconds to load on my smartphone that uses a CPU with ARMv7-A instruction set, specifically quad-core Cortex-A7 running at 1,2 GHz. What Intel had over 15+ years ago is kinda irrelevant in my case, all my devices have either AMD or ARM CPU. Just my oldest computer that happens to be my favorite has an AMD CPU from 2009 and AMD didn't implement those SSE 4.1/4.2 instructions until 2011, when they were implemented on Bulldozer-based CPUs along with AVX instructions. I think it's just trying to explain it in layman's terms. Software happens to often have silly names / associated terms when you think about it. Not sure what would be "better". Even if that article is a bit of a hype, do you prefer gaslighting on Pale Moon forum? Every single performance concern is shut down with the likes of "Just use an ad blocker", "You're comparing apples to oranges", "Go back to ChromeZilla, you normie" etc. Doesn't change the reality that UXP based browser is fully usable only if you manage to stick to few select web sites exclusively, otherwise it's a regular freeze, lag, not responding mess. You're better of verifying the issue in the MCP's Pale Moon / Basilisk and reporting on their forum. roytam1 is just random nobody that happens to like compiling browsers for EOS Microsoft's operating systems, reporting most issues here is just useless. In the opinion of certain individuals on the other side and reworded for my own amusement, a lazy f***er who implements hacky workarounds, doesn't support his work and shifts all the support burden to upstream. And I would prefer to live in a world without forced genital "surgeries". Is that too much to ask?

  8. Yeah but PM isn't a "modern" browser, so it doesn't work like a 3D game engine and doesn't really need AVX.... I had a hard time taking that article seriously after I saw the diagram of a jet engine, with its components labeled "Quantum" this and "Quantum" that.... Talk about hype - and that was from 2017! Is that how we're supposed to "understand" modern Web browsers now? What's next - an "explanation" of Chromium illustrated by a diagram of a rocket? OK, the Web has officially jumped the shark. Web sites are dictating processor architecture now? How the heck is that supposed to work if you have an ARM processor, or one of Apple's new processors, or really, anything but Intel / AMD?

  9. Not important to me at the moment, but SOMETHING is happening on that TAMPERMONKEY "thanks for installing" HOME PAGE. I shall make note of this and MY APOLOGIES for even RECOMMENDING to install Tampermonkey, I HAD NO IDEA IT OPENED A "thanks for installing" home page that is clearly DOING SOMETHING very VERY suspicious (at least in Supermium on Server 2008 R2).

  10. And folks, don't forget about MS catalogue as the replacement for those sites!

  11. Holy s***, this site actually wants SSE 4.1. https://donoharm.report/ Looks like .NET (Microsoft) is in the background. I doubt UXP does WASM SIMD at all. Edit: Nope, there's an open issue here. I'll probably play with PCSX2 again whenever I choose to buy a newer PC, the old Phenom is hopeless for these emulators last time I checked (unless you're happy with smooth intro cinematics alone).

  12. Not long it lasted, the site's starting to be emptied out. Only a couple of nVidia drivers left. Probably the same case here, too. The devs get more and more talented, Try to fetch their old search string from archived pages, then apply the same as I wrote above, should also work, in theory.

  13. I toyed with the manual editing of the search string, and it worked! To me, it looks they simply hired someone very retarded to manage to website, As an example, the very old, but common notebook card 840M, you can manually replace it with, say 920M (also common), or any of those you want to find. https://driverscollection.com/?H=GeForce 840M&By=NVidia&dpage=2 Look here, after my edits, it unlocks twenty pages with nVidia 920M! https://driverscollection.com/?H=GeForce 920M&By=NVidia&dpage=1

  14. Mind me asking, what for do you need the 32bit version? I'm sure Gigabyte didn't sell notebooks with 32bit Windows in 2015. The laptop you referred to, had Win8.1 x64, originally. And it indeed had 348.10 (only supplied by the OEM on their DVD). You wanna try older 32bit OS, or what?

  15. I'm a bit late, but a new post popped up in the Avast Forum saying that as of October 1st 2024, they're no longer gonna test updates on Windows XP. As you probably know, the last version of Avast to run on Windows XP is version 18.8, however that one has been receiving not only definitions updates to update the various detections but also occasional patches when new security flaws were identified in the internal modules/components. Up until October 2024, Avast tested all those updates on every version of Windows starting from Windows XP upwards, however they're no longer gonna do that. This means that they're still gonna release definition updates and eventual security updates for version 18.8, but nobody from the Avast team will test them on XP, so they might or might not work and they're gonna rely on user feedbacks for this. To be fair, I'm a bit surprised to see such an announcement given that version 18 from 2018 is supposed to be supported for 10 years like other versions of Avast, so until the end of 2027 and it's the last x86 version before they moved to x64, so I thought they were still gonna continue testing up until the end of support. On the other hand, I do understand that resources and time are limited, so as long as they're still gonna push updates and they're gonna listen to user feedback, I'm "fine" with that. I also appreciate the openness about this as they clearly stated that they're not gonna have XP machines to test this, rather than just rolling out updates and saying "sorry" afterwards like what some other companies have done. We'll see what the future holds, but for now I haven't noticed any issue / incompatibility in any of the last updates. So far so good. What I can say, however, is that if you're using Avast and if you notice anything unusual on your XP, please reach out to the support team so that they can fix it, 'cause unfortunately they're no longer testing it.

  16. The problem with the author's modules are their poor quality. I had the same series, and their chips failed, even being in a well ventilated case. Their temps never went higher than 36 degrees (Celsius). It's human's body temperature.

  17. DDR3 runs almost 2x times cooler, you can touch the module with your finger, it's barely warm. And those blue are packed up, wrapped up with some good aluminium radiators, simply an overcloker dream.

  18. Good advice, but rather off-topic here and mostly valid/useful only for DDR2 and below. DDR2 is a very hot, extremely outdated technology from about 20 years ago. DDR2 desperately needs heatsinks if overclocked. especially,

  19. No ,you just missed his answer to my post. It was a very specific item we discussed - Kingston DDR3 (Made in Taiwan, the over-popular blue one - Hyper-X. HyperX is a series of overclocking RAM modules. There's no "usual" HyperX, it's hyper by the very definition. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=HyperX+RAM+Kingston+blue
