That does not mean anything. A lot can be written on such pages about operating system compatibility. As always, the proof is in the pudding. One should actually know that by now, especially when it comes to Windows XP.

As we all or at least many of us know, the last XP-compatible version 6.047 of Malwarebytes AdwCleaner is obsolete and not useful anymore. Freshly installed, it's most recent database is from 2017, and thus 6 years old. No option! @VistaLover has investigated this in detail and presented it in this post: Therefore, we need a replacement for this program in Windows XP to get rid especially of adware, spyware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and browser hijackers. Of course, most more recent antimalware programs already provide these features such as Malwarebytes Free or Premium. But a specialized tool would not be bad either, and many people like to use those tools, like for example me. I did a research as I always do and found an interesting tool. In my next post, I will present an alternative to Malwarebytes AdwCleaner which is up-to-date. And the winner is Ultra Adware Killer.

I wonder what will happen if I vote here, will I be automatically added to the "multiple" fake list, too? Probably I shouldn't anyway, as I don't use Firefox at all.

I guess the reason for the public vote was intentional, so your fake accounts wouldn't be able to downvote D.Draker's excellent research, like you were begging to implement before. But hey, saying that Jaguarek62 is D.Draker's fake is especially funny, thanks for the laugh.

With your testing, you have wonderfully refuted your own statement. And that means the following rule applies: the proof is in the pudding.

Hi, better edit out that edition name from the post, it's considered to be non-legitimate here.

You're welcome! That is of course to be expected. And I mentioned that several times. Here is a quotation from my main article: BTW, I usually performed this kind of update process even with the old, original versions of uBlock Origin. For me, installing on top never worked really properly and caused every now and then problems in the case of uBO in the past. Cheers, AstroSkipper

Interested members can find needed files on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/files/WinSCP/6.1.2/ The "WinSCP-6.1.2-Portable.zip" is the one you need under WinXP (unpack and launch the .exe file); the problem arises if you want the app localised , because that zip archive ONLY comes with the default, en-US, locale (embedded into the .exe) . The installer, "WinSCP-6.1.2-Setup.exe" comes with multi-language support, but it's built with an InnoSetup version that requires at least Win7 . To get the localisation files out of it you need use a tool capable of extracting Innosetup installers; my two "loved-ones" are just CLIs, innounp (at v0.50) and innoextract (at v1.9) ; however, if you are a GUI type, you can use the much larger app UniExtract2, which contains those two above CLIs as internal components (this extracting "suite" has been mentioned and linked before by AstroSkipper). Once you have successfully unpacked "WinSCP-6.1.2-Setup.exe", you should have access to a "Translations" dir, with numerous "WinSCP.*" files; pick the one that has a file extension denoting your desired locale (e.g., for German it should be "WinSCP.de") and place that adjacent to the WinSCP.exe main executable inside your originally unzipped "portable" archive; launch the app (it'll still be in English) and through the app's configuration (Options -> Preferences -> Environment -> Languages) you can now select your preferred locale: An app restart is then required for the change to take effect ... If you don't mind your "portable" app being in the much acclaimed PAF format, the people over at "portableapps.com" have prepared a "special package just for XP users", who have now been deprived of future WinSCP updates: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/WinSCP Portable/WinSCPPortableLegacyWinXP_6.1.2.paf.exe/download That package has all available localisation embedded ... PS (and OT): This time, the WinSCP devs did not put Vista SP2 32-bit in the same boat as WinXP - the latest release as of writing this, 6.3.1, again via the "portable" distribution, launches and runs fine there () ... Just as a FYI...

XP (and its server equivalent, Server 2003) is already written as a supported operating system here on their page: https://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo41.html

Update of uBlock Origin Legacy to version 1.16.4.33 I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.32 to version 1.16.4.33. I fixed the loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" which only occur from time to time. Furthermore, I found some further strings which I edited according to the extension's name change performed in version 1.16.4.32. And I added new filter lists to different groups. The "StevenBlack/hosts" filter lists are very strong and restrictive. So in some cases, you have to set exclusions when using them. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.33 in New Moon 28: The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added in this release. A detailed changelog and the download link of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.33 can be found in my main article uBlock Origin Legacy - A special mod by @AstroSkipper.

... Well, Win7 is certainly "On Topic" here, because the roytam1 forks (browsers and other apps) do work under that OS; after all, despite its users not wanting to admit it, Win7 is by now an "Older NT-Family OS" ... However, and this is just me , "extensive" references to the Chromium forks (compatible with said "older NT-family OSes") should be better posted in the dedicated threads (we have enough already...) ; I don't exclude myself here , I've often fallen foul of this before ...

That structuredclone polyfill is very limited and was only discussed as a fix for Chase. That is not the structuredclone polyfill that I used and even screencap'd as WORKING for the pdf viewer. Use this one instead: <test - issues with posting at MSFN>

https://msfn.org/board/topic/183194-windows-7-on-the-intel-alder-lakez690-platform/page/2/#comment-1214533 ThrottleStop may help Well, the modern standby actually leaves the CPU in a working state and on Windows 10/11 the computer would install updates in the background and do other random stuff that heavily drains the battery. The true standby is not there regardless of your operating system.

I'm kind of astonished by the design of this Web site. Am I correct in concluding that, rather than using the .pdf viewer built into every major Web browser, they coded their own? In Javascript? Why would anyone do this? It can't have been done to support very old browsers that might lack a built-in .pdf viewer, because the Javascript relies on new constructs that require polyfills even on Chrome 86. Older browsers don't stand a chance. P.S.: Per Google Translate, that line in German above translates to "An error occurred when loading the PDF file." So I'd guess that this Javascript PDF viewer was written by a German. (I realize that doesn't tell us much.) P.P.S.: Maybe the German thing is a red herring. I just tried to open the .pdf in Acrobat 9 and was told that I need a newer Acrobat version! So perhaps, to answer my original question, the .pdf is a very new format, and the Javascript .pdf viewer actually does allow (slightly) older browsers to view the .pdf. Like Chrome 98 or so. Except - that doesn't make sense; @VistaLover was able to view it with the .pdf viewer built into Kafan MiniBrowser (Chromium 87). So I guess I still don't understand the purpose of this thing.

Most post 2017 made hardware doesn't support windows 7. Someone gave me a new motherboard made in 2018, the CPU is always at 1800MHz, doesn't go fully idle. Standby doesn't work either.

That's how I've been doing it so far. But I thought it might be easy to get around this. One other approach I use myself is to let the browser handle itself the online PDF files (without a prior download to disk and then drag-n-drop ) and display them via its native PDF viewer; however, in the case discussed, https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf the file has an "attachment" content-disposition and loading that URI will generate a "Save File" download prompt; that's why I have also installed: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/undisposition-racle-fork/bbppejejjfancffmhncgkhjdaikdgagc and I enable it as needed - you want the older v0.0.4, which is still at MV2, for 360EE... Below is KafanMiniBrowser loading the referenced PDF URI in its default viewer, via "undisposition" extension :

Congratulations @SEDANEH! Now you may consider to get a nice GTX 980 to substitute the 710 in your rig and try to break the 24.000 Points record in 3Dmark2001 of these guys here (with a i9-12900K @ 6.9 GHz. ;)

I totally agree with jaclaz, I had numerous troubles, and not only with those chinocrap cables, but also with their poorly soldered fittings. Those may be oxidized, degraded, and even faulty right from the start.

These reports seem to lead to issues with some form of cache (or rather missing cache) and/or de-synchronization between device (and/or its driver) and application. It seems like the Quickmirror is attempting to send more data than the system can bear or the system cannot tell to Quickmirror that it should slow down the sending of data. The problem might be in any point of the chain, but it still smells of something software related more than hardware. On the other hand the chkdsk slowness and controller errors seem a lot like "pure hardware" error (flaky SATA cable or connectors?[1]). jaclaz [1] in the (good?) ol' SCSI times there was a saying - if I remember correctly originally proposed by Jerry Pournelle - to the effect of "when you have a disk problem check everything, but the problem is always the cable", with IDE those issues were rare (with the exception of the madness that was - for a period of time - the cable select often problematic implementation) with SATA they are far less common than SCSI in my experience, still I would try different cables.

Not everyone reads the issues on github, so let it be here as well .

Hi everyone Good day and good night. The mission was successfully completed. Finally Windows XP was run on Asus Z790 with super heavy hardware. The drivers were not installed properly. For the need to run, the same graphic and sound card is enough. Although I could not mount the hard drive and external hard drive on Windows XP. The 4090 graphics card does not have a driver. Because Windows XP does not support Nvidia graphics above 1000 series. So I put a GT 710 graphics card next to the 4090 and it was installed, and the sound card was already installed. The 4090 graphics, which were present and not present in XP, do not cause any problems, but in Windows 10, I disabled the 710 graphics so as not to cause any disturbance. In short, I was able to run the games I wanted on XP and I achieved my wish that it has been a year since the launch of this heavy hardware. I thank Mr. Dietmar again for providing me with this Windows.

Yes, it fixed the first problem, thank you! The font used in that dialog is very bizarre, though. I wish it could be changed to a different font, for example, Tahoma, as the current font used in that dialog, unnecessarily takes up much space.

No, the proof isn't in the pudding. Apache OpenOffice actually still runs on XP. Look, Writer, for example, runs (and other programs of the OpenOffice suite as well): So yeah, OpenOffice developers are not like the other developers, which intentionally mislead readers into thinking their software is compatible with Windows XP. (when in fact, not the case sometimes) See this page: https://www.openoffice.org/product/windows.html#windows-version-support They even wrote that they tested OpenOffice on Windows XP: "Tested, stable, no platform-specific problems known.". If OpenOffice wasn't compatible with Windows XP, the text would be similar to what they wrote about Windows 2000 support.

That's because that is only one half, one third, one fourth of the problem. Only after you resolve array.at does structuredclone error show up. Then after you resolve that, you're likely to encounter even more errors. You do not need an online viewer to view .pdf's - download it then drag and drop into 360Chrome, bypass that "viewer" -- https://storage.enganchesaragon.com/public-websites/ecommerce/Inst/C0801E.pdf

My opinion you just want more scandals on the site, that's why you insist. Basically, all those who ignite scandals are only a few, all well known.

You confuse opinions with facts from developers. It's not up for arguments when the information comes from developers themselves. That person @Sampei.Nihira simply can't support grown up people discussions, he insulted me many times. I explained to he super politely. What exactly is not polite in this explanation? Now he's simply furious and revengeful. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186019-protecting-chromium-traffic-with-hybrid-kyber-kem/?do=findComment&comment=1260148

Personally I think we should actually get rid of the crap/fake posters/reposers/copy pasters. More specifically, I think we need to have some sort of approval before posting, he's just angry because I caught him several times with his misleading information and errors, but instead of saying thank you, he just insults and reports me. For example, it would be wise to have @jaclaz among the posts' inspection commission.

I'm up for it with both hands! Finally, I'll downvote all of your erroneous, offensive posts, which are so many. I'll make sure to attach screenshots with proof, like I always do, all very honest, with articles, real expert analyses, all in a very polite form, all according to the forum rules. So yeah, I'd say - go for it! Just one example of proof. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185910-resuming-the-transition-to-manifest-v3/?do=findComment&comment=1255843 Just one example of how you tell people to "shut up".

Yep, same for me. Maybe our hardware sucks?

Restart & Purge - A custom button for restarting the browser and, if necessary, purging the startup cache, created by AstroSkipper As I have already reported in @roytam1's browser thread, I have been investigating the restart behaviour of New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 (and also Mypal 68, but this is off-topic here) for some time with a focus on the startup cache. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find much useful information or documentation on this topic on the internet. Even my request in @roytam1's browser thread also went unanswered (addendum: in the meanwhile, @VistaLover has replied here. Thanks again for that! ). It seems that detailed information or knowledge about the startup cache and how the browser restart affects this cache is practically non-existent. The startup cache seems to be a replacement for the former Fastload. It resides in the profile directory to store continuous chunks of data in it. In my New Moon 28 installation, without using the custom folder chrome for scripts and CSS stylesheets, only one file resides there with the name startupCache.4.little. As both, the folder and file name, contain the string startupcache, one can conclude that data is stored inside this file to accelerate the startup of the browser. Which data exactly I really don't know. I didn't find any meaningful documentation. I noticed that very often or in most cases the startup cache was cleared or reorganised automatically without any additional commands when restarting the browser. Sometimes, however, it remained unchanged after a restart. At least, I could find the code responsible for purging the startup cache. Anyway! One thing is clear. If the data in the startup cache is corrupted, then starting problems can occur which only can be solved by deleting its content. This can be done, for example, manually or by the commandline option -purgecaches. But there is no button or item to start this purge of the startup cache in a convenient way from within the UXP browsers. That's why I created a custom button for this purpose in JavaScript (rather a variant of JavaSript), the programming language used for creating new custom buttons by the extension Custom Buttons. I branded this custom button Restart & Purge. It performes a normal restart when left-clicked and additionally purges the startup cache when middle-clicked. After creation I have tested this custom button over a longer period of time, and it works for me as it should. Here is a small screenshot of my custom button Restart & Purge and its tooltip taken from New Moon 28: As the code of Restart & Purge has to be initialised, you won't find it in the tab "Code" but in the tab "Initialization code" of this custom button. Here is a screenshot of its code: The former download links unfortunately contained an XML backup file of the Restart & Purge custom button which either couldn't be installed without additional editing or some characters were not transferred correctly. The problem has to do with the conversion of custom buttons into XML format, where the tool I had used did not work correctly. This time I therefore provide a custom button link for direct install (when the extension Custom Buttons is already installed, of course ). Copy the quoted link below and open it in a new browser tab: I can't insert the code of the link in this post! The MSFN forum editor is totally broken and hasn't been working properly for months especially when it comes to inserting of links. This has already reported multiple times! Well done, who is responsible for it! Due to the shortcomings of the MSFN forum editor, I uploaded the custom button link of Restart & Purge as an HTML file. Here is the download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/nrqim7ek9s6gp07/CB_button_Restart_%26_Purge.html/file Simply open this HTML file in a browser tab and click the embedded custom button link for Restart & Purge! For the installation of this button, the extension Custom Buttons is required which you can get from this post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226328 And since the legacy Custom Buttons extension runs in the UXP browsers, my custom button Restart & Purge can be used in New Moon 28, Serpent 52, Pale Moon and some other browsers. Greetings, AstroSkipper

Why would comparing it to something of relatively close versions be off-topic? Win32 declared officially, he started following the Ungoogled path. It's not when someone compares it to Firefox or 360.

Looks good! That's what I'd like to achieve with Supermium, thanks.

And so that you don't get the impression that everything in the Pale Moon forum is hostile and unfair, here's a post from back2themoon, the creator of the thread "New uBlock Origin version released (Special mod by @AstroSkipper)", who has something positive and factual to say about my mod uBlock Origin Legacy: Source: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=30787&sid=feea3eb912a653ba49c1fb3c2bc447f3&start=60#p248386 Many thanks to back2themoon for this fair and factual contribution!
