Since modern sites can easily fully load an old CPU by doing silly things, it's best if not all cores are fully loaded, then we can at least close the browser.

Notice: a 5-yearly electricity equipment check is scheduled in 21/5/2026 (10:00-16:00 UTC+8). Download server is unavailable during the period. And just in case machine can't automatically power-up after this outage it may be needed waiting me to go to the site to troubleshoot so the outage ending time may be postponed due to this.

auto hiding taskbar not working in lastest Windows Insider Build 29576.,29580. restarting explorer it got work.

Of course I compared the 4-25 build with 4-18 and others. Here's how it was: 4-18 and earlier builds were all slow then 4-25 was out and it was fast compared to before (but I had to revert to 4-18 because 4-25 kept freezing / not-responding). This new build 4-30 or 5-2, while faster than 4-18 and earlier builds, is slower than 4-25. On my CPU Serpent's thread count now returns 3 which I observed in VM's is a no-go. Slower than 2 or 4 threads. So better stick to even number of threads, but not all of them, so 2. At least for Core2 Quads that are really 2x2 CPU's (shared L2 between only 2 cores) and not 4x1 CPU.

Did you really try the version Firemin Portable 6.3.1.5105? I don't think so. It works like a charme on Windows Professional XP 32bit SP3 (fully POSReady updated). I didn't mean the installer version. If the portable version doesn't run in your system, then your partition is faulty or something is missing, unfortunately. BTW: When I state facts, I definitely mean what I wrote. And that literally! I assume you meant "That version doesn't work in my system", otherwise your statement would be definitely wrong And, just to clarify it! There are several programs whose installer version doesn't run under Windows XP 32bit, but its portable vesion does, and vice versa! Cheers, AstroSkipper

@mina7601! Same here! I would have "liked" or "up-voted" your post to show that I care about you, but one can't, and one shouldn't give a ike or an up-vote to this, either. That would be strange and misleading! Today's young generation, newfangledly called digital natives, have grown up with smartphones, tablets and computers. A healthy doubt about this development is essential and desirable. I only use social media when I need them for communication. But, the communication in this forum also has to be reflected, and you must not lose yourself here. It's not the real life, and a lot of information here, and everywhere else, is deceptive, poorly researched, often inappropriate, or even misleading! Anyway, wish you all the best, switch off sometimes or more, enjoy your life, you are still young! There is a lot to experience outside! Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Updating of extensions in Mypal 68 I don't know whether other members here have already noticed that updating of extensions via the Addons Manager doesn't work at all. In my system, there were new updated versions of several extensions available at the official Firefox Addons site, but checking updates via the Addons Manager leads to the message "No updates", unfortunately. I had to download and install them manually. I have already reported this in the issues of Mypal68. It's the issue #138. Tested with Mypal 68.12.5b. Cheers, AstroSkipper

@feodor2! Thank you so much for your new release! It works great! I did a login on GitHub, and now, it is fully functional again. Full access to my account!

Thanks @mina7601 for your clarification! I don't use these Core or Kernel extensions anymore. If a program does not support Windows XP natively or modified, it won't be installed in my system. In the times of Windows ME, I used KernelEx, but it was always very fiddly, and very experimental. Hopefully, never again, please!

I totally agree! Following the rules is important and necessary. Actually, and obviously, my statement was meant as a historical classification and motivation. Therefore, non-political and non-religious! Is that not allowed, either? Anyway, all has been said! Discussion finished from my side! And, thanks for your hint! PS: Although it was not political motivated, I corrected one of my posts by cross-lining one word! To be on the safe side here! If I have to delete anything else, please, let me know! I certainly don't want to break the rules!

I am a tea (strong, black tea as we usually drink in the north of Gemany, where I was born, called East Friesian Tea) and coffee drinker. These filters, as for example Brita, I used from the very first. The main effect of those filters is to reduce the concentration of calcium carbonate (lime) in your water to get a good taste and full flavour! Cheers, AstroSkipper

I don't like to see Angela Merkel in this list. These kinds of comparisons are inappropriate. You may not like her or disagreed with her politics in many things, but to be on a list with such beasts is something she does not deserve, and completely inappropriate! Schroeder is just a minion and money- and power-hungry old man! And, as I already said, all agreements or contracts between Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany were meant by Hitler to deceive the Russians in order to further his own goals! Therefore, a means to an end, i.e. to the very worst! "Agreements" or "contracts" between devils!

I mentioned Stalin, too.
