I just got back from Mykonos. This summer I've rested for too long, I'm tired of resting! I made a terrible mistake, it was too hot there! Not sure I'll ever go there again, not my climate. Though I met some interesting people there, with whom we are going to stay in touch and help with our careers.

Planned Obsolescence = Job Security The hype and propaganda of "security vulnerabilites" will sell a refrigerator to an eskimo.

Recent (like in the last 10-15 years) ATX PSU's have generally short circuit and overdraw/overcurrent protection, i.e. if you draw too much power they will simply switch off, but it is not necessarily true, el-cheapo, no-name PSU's may well lack this form of protection, though it would be an exception. And there is no way to know[1] for sure. Additionally, there is no easy/cheap device to actually test a PSU behaviour under load, all the testers that you can find are essentially multi-channel voltmeters, they are used to verify that a PSU is providing voltages within specs without load (or with a minimal one), what would be needed is a series of shunts or an electronic load, such devices can be found for several hundreds of dollars at a minimum and, given the high amount of Amps (or Watts if you prefer) involved you would need particularly beefy ones. There are many "PSU calculators" available but the results they provide (given that your hardware is listed on them) are - in the best case - a vague approximation of the real power needed, and - on the other hand - a PSU. particularly if old/used may well still work fine with a lower load but fail if too much Amperes are required by the motherboard or devices. As well, there is software that can check load/power but it depends on sensors that your specific hardware may or may not have https://openhardwaremonitor.org/ A better approximation would be using a surely powerful enough PSU with the actual hardware, first checking how much the PSU draws form mains socket and then with an amperometer/multimeter how many amperes are drawn on each rail. It is anyway a lot of work, not worth it (IMHO) unless you are trying to optimize a build for some particular reason. Try estimating the needed power via one or two of the online calculators, and if the result seems roughly compatible with your PSU, try it, if it overdraws current in 95% or 99% of cases the protection will kick in and switch it off without damage, in the remainling 1%-5% it will release the magic smoke and you will have to buy a new (more powerful) PSU (which you would need anyway, the differnce would be only about having an old spare working 450W PSU or not). jaclaz [1] you could - in theory - put a fuse on each voltage line/rail

We have some news: Windows Update V4 now has many more updates for Windows 9x systems, Windows Update v3 has much more inventories than before and Windows Update v2 has been restored.

Once I've hunted every connection down, that had CDN in it's name and dared to enter my network. But what kind of content is the CDN server actually delivering? Could be some pictures, but could be a tracker or an advert, too. There is no easy solution for this. It always depends on the case. But to be honest, 95% of them are just garbage and slow your internet browsing down. I can say, that on the old Pentium 3 and on slow mobile connections, this saves a lot of bandwidth on plenty of "bigger" websites.

I'd rather recommend than listening to the FBI but to upgrade your very unique Brain.exe instead. It's the best anti-virus out there. The only downside is, that Brain.exe can't be bought for money and downloading it is impossible, too. It must be fed proper knowledge to grow. And then one day, you will be capable of using the old operating systems online without running into a wall. Would I recommend to average users who use their brain on other things than computers to use Windows XP and Windows 7 for example? No, because that would put them easily in danger. But if you know, what you are doing, then you'll be able to avoid the problems. Use a hardware firewall, that you can configure. Block unwanted Javascripts. Block everything, you didn't ask for. Don't click on everything that sounds like a promising help to your problems. Learn to read links before clicking on them. These things. Also consider that something like Windows XP got more secure over time, as less and less people were using it. Windows 7 is still a very attractive target for mean hackers with circa 15% market share (2020).

It's fine here for me:

Basically any decent. quality 450W should be enough for something with Kabylake and a 7 years old GTX1050, because they are designed to draw much less power.

Actually, the Tycho platform on which NM27 was originally based on (modified MozillaESR 38) is dead, buried and exhumed; what is being developed is ArcticFox https://github.com/rmottola/Arctic-Fox the new "upstream" for NM27 (which also gets backports from other sources, e.g. UXP ) ... The current application platform supporting NM27 has significantly diverged from Tycho; I'm not following closely AF's development, but if the latest release's version (42.1) is anything to go by , I'd say AF is somewhere in the mid-40's Firefox versions, compat-wise ; this is still too low to address fully the beast the web has now become (and if you're a regular here , you'd have noticed already how even the UXP-based browsers struggle with it ) ... Answered above ; if you can, use another browser for bandcamp and other such, media rich/script rich, services ; long gone is the time , especially on our "legacy" H/W and OSes, when only one browser application would "fit all" ...

Hello @Dave-H! I tested again the website onlyfans.com. I found out that the problem to access this site via proxy doesn't seem related to ProxHTTPSProxy but rather to the 360Chrome browser. When accessing this site in the latest releases (I tested the last two ones) of New Moon 28, there is no problem. New Moon 28 works much better with this site than 360Chrome. onlyfans.com loads very quickly natively, and no problems via ProxHTTPSProxy in this browser, either. You no longer have to enter this website under [SSL Pass-Thru]. BTW, it doesn't matter whether you use the latest or the previous version of ProxHTTPSProxy. If you ever have time, you can try this out. Since I don't use this website and don't have an account, maybe you can also try a login via New Moon 28. In my system, the website runs great in New Moon 28, in 360 Chrome unfortunately terribly with long loading times on my old computer. And via ProxHTTPSProxy, it doesn't really run in 360Chrome, strangely enough. Something in the connection check is blocked then. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Hey i already had updated above 4 ffmpeg even on old mypal, you may take it i think. https://github.com/httpsgithu/Mypal/commit/c2ad5af1936faef1eb258ac9d3aa852a7d9ae1f3 By the way has the playback of this fixed been on the x86 newmoon? https://tools.woolyss.com/html5-audio-video-tester/?u=woolyss.com/f/caminandes-1-llama-drama-av1-opus.webm

https://mega.nz/folder/68dj2YTY#As2w31IO4Smr7gy6p1ciSg ProxyMII_230813.7z. But i didn't know how to get ProxyMII to work with WebSockets. And, please, take look at Privoxy3.0.35_231208.7z - looks like it open onlyfans.com normally. @cmalex! Thank you very much for your quick reply and especially for your upload! I will test your package as soon as possible and report back here in my thread. And I will take a look at Privoxy 3.0.35_23120 for trying to access successfully again https://onlyfans.com/ with its help. I am very curious and excited. You are simply the best. Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

Fellas, tell where you spent your summer holidays?

Life's good, life's fun, I just got back from holidays, and everything couldn't be better!

The only collection of Office 97 updates, which i found in web. Thanks!

I have moved the conversation to this thread:

I didn't get them too. I told myself they would have to force my home with special ops, and even then I'll not surrender.

Dear legacyfan, please show where exactly you say I accused you of instagramifying ? I meant (maybe) you had brought up the discussion about GF by weirdly mentioning your PC along with the holiday of the lovers, so one could easily assume it was a present from your lover, I already wrote - I'm sorry several times.

Your choice, but you don't have to announce it to either of us, otherwise it would be in the style of twitter, and you were allegedly not happy with it in the first place, lol. Also, if you go down that road, you'll be doomed to encounter this in the nearest future. https://msfn.org/board/topic/182193-the-msfn-café-a-penny-for-your-thoughts/?do=findComment&comment=1234400

I was born in the seventies, I wrote about it many times. I remember life without computers, you, Americans, call us Gen-X. My main picture is almost 15 years old. (circa 2008 to 2010). After the alleged fall of USSR in 1992, I could clearly see the battle with the planetary Evil isn't over, far from it, so in 1993 or 94 I enlisted and joined an elite military academy. Decades passed and the service was over, so I decided to become a merc., along with my brothers from the other NATO countries, with whom I was on joint missions, Mostly Dutch, Belgian and Brits. In Ukraine I was voluntarily (no French gov. involved), no one paid me. Among several reasons to go there, the first one you could guess, the other one is to keep myself in a good shape. I got more scars and grey hair now. Everything else is the same, as I prefer to keep myself in a brilliant shape. I wrote about my GF only to explain to you 'cause you kinda assumed I don't have one and/or "prefer living single". I have one, but at the same time looking for a new in advance, I think it's easy to understand. Now she still looks good, but what will happen to her at 30 ? No one knows, so I prefer to be prepared. I didn't start to post about any GFs, BTW ! It was Ucyborg and/or legacyfan, I think ! So don't accuse me of instagramifying of MSFN ! And I'm defo not looking for someone at MSFN ! We got plenty of young women here, it's not the states ! I live in a luxury city, where they also want to live, they come here and want to stay. Living in a luxury city doesn't mean being rich - I'm absolutely not ! It's they who think I'm rich 'cause I look good and live in a rich city and this is where they entrap themslevs , lol. EDIT: If someone is again "afraid of my life/childhood", I'll edit the post , no probs.

Retrozilla displays the site forum.aviaskins.com fine here on my Windows 98 machine. Maybe there are some language packs missing on your Windows 95 installation. Well, I don't know the path on Windows 95, but on Windows 98, you can go to the Control Panel -> Software -> Windows Setup. There is a list of optional packages that come on the original Windows CD. I have a category there for foreign language support. Maybe installing that helps?

Two things I'd like to add to this topic: Jackie Stewart and Arfenhouse. Jackie Stewart is a British Formula One world champion, who actually is dyslexic. He said, that to concentrate, he'd get a book and try to read it. It would calm him down in front of a race. Well and Arfenhouse is this: A trashy game (with trashy flash films). It uses deliberatly misspelled words and keyboard typos. No, it wasn't made by a 7 year old kid.

VLC 3.0.12 UN-patched

By the way , I had the same flat buttons with Win 7 with everythin after 3.0.0 , it's just I do not use WIn 7 on a regular basis , just for testing once in blue moon , so can't make a pic. , sorry. It did have an aero frame though , but everything else was Win10 flat and ugly. Buttons , volume control , etc.

Difficult topic! I support some users which simply aren't able to use a simple addon like NoScript. Making them understand, which servers they have to block (but only sometimes) is beyond their capabilities. These people are some crazy artists with fantastic ideas, but they would have been better off without computers at all to be honest! And you have to block scripts, because even on the most generic websites that millions of people visit, a hacked advert can compromise your computer all of a sudden! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvertising Not only through that, but these sunday drivers would destroy their online Windows 7 quickly. They use terrible webmail clients, loading spam mails full of adverts, code execution right away and they are screwed then. They need a user-friendly Linux instead (if it's just for browsing the web and no super-special software is needed). A lot less malware is possible then... I'm sorry, but I can't make any appropriate statements about Windows Vista! I haven't used it since 9 years. But it looks like, that there are a lot of current Vista users here. The question is: What did they do right to not get their old systems attacked? And what did they upgrade hardwarewise? Probably the hard drive, which has made big speed improvements in the last 15 years. Best luck with your computer setup for the next 10 years!

The difficulty about Windows PCs of all versions is, that you can't really trust them. They have a broken security by default (since years!). Backdoors open for the intelligence agencies can be used by the intelligent hackers, too. Therefore I wouldn't use a firewall running on my Windows PC. Please correct me, if this sounds irrational! However routers can have backdoors too... search for it online, there are plenty of cases. Even OpenWRT can't be trusted blindly, because they are dependant on the hardware manufacturers too: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/what-are-the-chances-theres-a-hardware-backdoor-exploit-in-many-of-these-routers/22909 I prefer the "hardware" firewall, because it saves RAM on my old machines and it's convenient to configure for all computers. But you are right, it's basically just another computer running vulnerable software. Not 100 % perfect.

Same here. Aero not working .

This is realy fantastic !

Please tell , the buit in adblock is updating lists in your case ? My aero isn't working too.
