... About the france.tv issue: Troubleshooting from outside of France: 1. Geo-block circumvention As one would expect, this is a media portal site which streams copyrighted audio-visual content, intended for a specific country/region (in this case France); I haven't bothered checking one of their LIVE streams (which are usually the ones most heavily protected against "illegal" access), but chose a VOD URL: https://www.france.tv/france-2/eurovision-europe-shine-a-light/1468469-emission-du-samedi-16-mai-2020.html They first check geo-location via https://player.webservices.francetelevisions.fr/v1/geoloc where they note the requesting client's timezone, plus they then check actual physical location via https://geoftv-a.akamaihd.net/ws/edgescape.json These APIs can't be fooled with an "X-Forwarded-For" request header hack, so to pretend to be in France you'll have to use a whitelisted French HTTPS/SOCKS proxy or a French VPN... One good source of "open/misconfigured" French proxies suitable for such tests is http://spys.one/free-proxy-list/FR/ I picked one with small latency and good speed (http://195.154.41.246:5836) and configured New Moon 28 to use it for all connections... 2. Actual testing I used the latest NM28 offering (package: palemoon-28.9.3a1.win32-git-20200516-a8f7300b9-uxp-9cf4eca9a-xpmod, buildID=20200515224638) with a new, pristine, profile. I verified the issue reported by @IXOYE with the French proxy in use; thankfully, the screenshot of the NM28 Error Console (btw, the poster was asked to provide Web Console logs, which would've been more verbose, better for troubleshooting) mentions "polyfill.io/v2" and this started ringing some bells... It turned out the "france.tv player" issue had been already previously reported in the upstream support forum: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24269 and the cause is that sites still using the old polyfill.io/v2 library (the current is v3) break in Pale Moon (hence NM), because v2 doesn't detect NM's features well and chokes (more: https://forum.palemoon.org/search.php?keywords=polyfill) ... The workaround is to use a SSUAO for "cdn.polyfill.io" advertising latest Mozilla Firefox: general.useragent.override.cdn.polyfill.io;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:75.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0 This fixes the issue for me, at least on NM28 and a VOD: However, be warned that the SSUAO suggested above, while it does fix the france.tv issue, it may break other websites which also use polyfill.io, especially if they have upgraded to its version 3... FWIW, NM28 is being served by france.tv player MPEG-DASH unencrypted (no DRM) streams, which are also geo-fenced at the manifest/CDN level ; one MPD manifest I managed to sniff is of the template: https://cloudreplayfrancetv.akamaized.net/7400cc4850ce5/229118575_france-domtom_TA.ism/manifest.mpd?hdnea=exp=1589845397~acl=%2f7400cc4850ce5%2f229118575_france-domtom_TA.ism*~hmac=79fe0976ca3c2982afbf17e1ba2e4d06255857c968f01229a33f37cb5c712cd9 If/when france.tv move to full encryption/DRM, requiring current Widevine support in the browser, then it'd be game-over for XP/Vista users, because latest widevine DLLs require Win7 as a bare minimum...

Hi! i'm MrNadix, i love old hardware and old Windows versions (i have an old computer collection), i only want to be part of a friendly community, learn new stuff, help and be helped .

Hey all, I am from the YouTube channel ReadySelectStart. Came across this forum when looking for a USB driver for Win95 OSR2.5. Seems like a great community that I am looking forward to being part of :) Been a huge user of Windows since 1994. I have used 3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8 and of course 10.

From Belgium, hello @ReadySelectStart and welcome to MSFN! I hope you enjoy the forums! Have a nice day. hpwamr

Hi all! I'm new here, hope i find the help and support i need dino cams

That's some great meta right there. I think though I'm just an exception to the rule.

You must be joking. It belongs to self-evident truths that Windows 2000 has been the best MS OS ever. this is the updated link to the MS-chess game rules I invented (JFYI): https://msfn.org/board/topic/155290-windows-8-deeper-impressions/?do=findComment&comment=996327 jaclaz

RM Connect rings a bell, I doubt my school would even know if I reached out to them. But those RM machines and the BBC Micro we had definitely made school more enjoyable.

Thank you I did briefly own a HP Omnibook that ran Windows 2000. I cannot recall it very well other than it being like Windows Me but stable. How comes you like 2000 so much? For me the best versions of Windows ever would be 98SE, XP, 7 and 10. I know the latter is controversial.

Welcome to the MSFN! Feel free to try out the best operating system around, Windows 2000.

Well, you may happen to find here and there posts by Steve6375: https://msfn.org/board/profile/37276-steve6375/ Author of Easy2boot and also of RMprepUSB (guess where the RM comes from?). https://www.rmprepusb.com/ He may know, though - at first sight - the specs of actual "Nimbus" models were too low to run NT 4.00, maybe they were computers from RM but not anymore "Nimbus", most probably new models belonging to the newish "RM connect": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RM_Education jaclaz

I think my primary school(elementary) had Windows NT, but I cannot remember so omitted it EDIT: Just searched the the computers they had were RM Nimbus (Unsure of the specific model). They seemed to have shipped with MS DOS or Windows 3.0, though I'm sure I recall seeing the NT splash screen? We are talking 25 odd years ago now though

Great area, maybe some day I can live there.

Welcome to the MSFN!

What about Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT?

I think I'll have to set up one of his computers to find it. I have a feeling it isn't in the "active" set of stuff I'm looking at. Thanks! Uploading them without going through them would not be a good idea. Right off the bat, there is customer information scattered in there. I already seen some family photos in the mix and even some code that I know is not relevant. I wouldn't want to just throw it out there. I can hold my own in regards to programming knowledge so that isn't a concern. A repo can be made at any point and anyone here could do it if they felt inclined to do so. I can't offer support for it anyway - I just don't have the time. My option was to upload source without a build system or to not upload source. I would like to think you can see what the better option is. In any case, the logic in the code is more important for anyone to try to learn or extend his work. Regarding who my dad was, I'm uploading his resumes so you get an idea of what he felt was appropriate to say he did. He did a bit of consulting work for Aerospace Avionics (I think that is the name, I have a pile of hardware schematics from them but they were absorbed into another company) but pretty much was consulting for the last 30 years and living off investments and tax liens. My dad was phone phreaker in his youth and actually got arrested for it (I'm quite proud of him for that) and was forced to write a public apology to avoid jail time. He was also responsible for this article: http://explodingthephone.com/docs/dbx0431.pdf I'm pretty sure that I'm about the only person he would trust with this. Although, he would not be pleased that I'm just giving away his work and that is a point where we differed in opinion, I think it is the best option for me to preserve his legacy. I never got into Windows like my dad did but I do take after him quite a bit. I wish my dad followed more modern standards for organization and such but the major issue is that there is just a massive amount of data. I brought about 60TB of stuff back home with me and that might only be half of his recent stuff (last few years). He has tape archives going back at least 20 years but I am pretty confident that stuff isn't related to his Windows endeavors. HTML by hand fits my dad so well. But I'm thinking about using React for the long-term of the page. Newspaper Article for Rudy.pdf resume.txt RESUME.DOC
