Well, the Kabini is mentioned here (as an example): https://www.amd-drivers.com/amd-ati-mobility-drivers.html I have no idea what Temash or Kabini actually mean, nor if it has any particular consequence. From the little I can understand the HD 8180 exists in THREE forms (belonging to "Radeon Mobility" or "Mobility Radeon" family), one "discrete" (series HD8000M), one in "real" laptops (series HD8000G) and one in tablets or tablet like laptops/Notebook (APU A4-1200m HD 8180 only), see: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-cat-win-13-9 It is evident how the good Elantech guys and the good AMD/Catalyst ones studied at the UNI on the same course "Misnaming things, how to confuse other people by naming the same thing with various different, random or semi-random names and using the one or the other (or yet another one just invented) as casually as possible". And of course they also took the optional other course "Monolithic bloat: how to make a single driver covering ALL your hardware BUT leaving a few devices unsupported (without documenting which) to entertain your customers and have them busy many hours besides the lengthy download before they discover the driver won't work". The "latest version" of 14.4 (possibly 14.10.1006) seems like minimum Windows 7 : https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-14-4 you will appreciate how in the above there is also this: but NO release date to compare with. Very likely there is an "earlier version" (still 14.4) XP compatible (maybe, or maybe not). jaclaz

Just a little addon-tip, since users of old browsers must nowadays toggle page style all the time: This tiny little addon "Read Easily" toggles View > Page Style On/Off It creates a toolbar button and a right-click menu and a keyboard shortcut. And it keeps the current state when opening new pages. And it installs from Firefox 1.5 up to (??) 56 https://web.archive.org/web/20170902081132/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/read-easily/ Have just tried it in roytams rzbrowser (Retrozilla-Firefox2) and it first complained about signatures, but after simply deleting the META-INF folder inside the zipped xpi, it installed without any probs :-) Sorry for Retrozilla-Seamonkey, as usual it refuses such "modern" addon types :-( Have just struggled for a few hours trying to get other FF2 addons (from my rzbrowser) somehow installed manually, but don't know the necessary tricks. Since my old K-Meleon1.6 was based on Seamonkey too, this is probably the reason why it's near impossible to install any Firefox addons in it either, even manually somehow! In the far past there must have been experts around who converted a few addons, but long before my time. Now am just glad that I rather accidentally got as first Retrozilla version the Firefox type "rzbrowser", before realizing there are also "suites". Addons seem to be a real nightmare in Seamonkey, installation and managing and uninstalling too. Never realized there'd be such a world of difference to even RZ-Firefox2!

I got the two versions from here and by simply extracting the .msi files with UniExtract they run fine in their intended OS without proper installing. The v.4beta complains that it has expired, but setting the year to 2010 makes it work. Personally, i would not use software with such artifical blocks (OS and date check) even if i could. But, hey, it's your choice.

Even with a USB mouse attached, the PS/2 trackpad is still active and apparently malfunctioning. In Device Manager > Mouse, disable PS/2 Compatible Mouse Port and reboot to disable the trackpad.

@siria With JS enabled it does a redirect to some "consent" page, but it fails to execute the user confirmation query. @bernd Just toggle javascript.enabled in about:config to "false" when you want to browse that site in NM27. Or block cdn.prod.www.spiegel.de/public/shared/generated/js/commons.af6b33288db642f3649d.js You said you got other browsers to access it. What more do you want? This thing filled over a page here already, while distracting from other bugs/regressions.

The jury is out on whether we can even do anything to stop or change the path of the climate, however it is more important that we can agree that pollution of any sort is bad and we can always do more to cut down on that and make our environment better for each other. E-waste is primarily caused by many things, of which I can think, but these may be limited to the US. - manufacturers creating products with planned obsolescene and/or not following standards, resulting in short lifespans. - manufacturers using designs that are not publicly documented, or keep documentation behind paywalls or subscription plans. - manufacturers that replace whole parts (such as boards) instead of fixing or replacing individual components. - manufacturers that sue repair shops - trades (in general) not seen as important and not taught in schools, especially electronics Going back to the 1990s, there were repair shops all over the place. You could take you electronic gadget to get fixed and it was an actual fix and not just a PCB replacement. Or you could get the service manual and do the work yourself. Even to this day, if you buy some older electronic device, you can find the service manual online and be able to do a repair yourself. With new products, that isn't an option. As things changed, the removal of electronic repair shops, the disappearing of stores to buy components (although most can be found online), the ceasing of schools teaching trades like electronics/repair and likely the fact that costs have come way down on products has made it so people do not have the same attachment to something they once had. It is cheaper to just "buy a new one" instead of trying to find someone to repair it. Companies do replace products if they are under warranty, but they are doing wholesale changes and does not solve the e-waste issue. It is cheaper for a company to just replace a PCB and sell the "bad" one to a recycler than to spend time to diagnose and repair a problem. So in the current day, there is too few options for what to do with broken or unwanted electronics. Pay a recycler to take the thing? Put it out into the garbage? Throw it into the woods or the ocean? We had a ton of electronics years ago and didn't have this waste problem because the products lasted longer and they could be fixed. And fixing something was cheaper than buying a replacement, or cheap enough to make waiting for a repair a better option than buying a new one.
