Oh, just found this. "I do not believe you can. In October 2021 Nvidia dropped support for Win 7, 8, and 8.1 and the 3050 was released recently so that is why the older drivers will not recognize it." https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-RTX-3050-on-Windows-7-m3532944.aspx

And to be on topic again, VPN is an abbreviation for Virtual Private Network. The emphasis is therefore on Private. I don't think I need to say any more at this point.

AFAIK, government-approved VPNs are allowed. "Goverment"-approved VPNs are no VPNs in that country. ? NotHereToPlayGames is either using a government-sanctioned VPN, is a scofflaw, or is not posting from Russia. Struggle to see how this is relevant to the thread, explain? You misquoted Saxon. The quoted statement Using VPN is illegal in Russia, let me ask you, what are you doing here in the first place? According to the Russian laws, you're here illegally and you will be prosecuted. was not addressed to @NotHereToPlayGames, but to someone else. See my quote! And TBH, something like this shouldn't really happen. And certainly not to a native speaker if you are one.

How MSFN prohibition is relevant? Read the topic title again, please. 1 - MSFN board is not available in Russia without VPN! 2 - VPN is illegal in Russia. 3 - Checkmate. So - we shouldn't see any Russians here at all. But they are here, so - they break their own law and going towards criminal prosecution (with FSB at their doors, according to their own law cited by Saxon).

People say what nVidia declares on their site is not true. "RTX 3060 will work under W7 but newest RTX 3050 will not." (despite what nVidia claims) https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/nvidias-rtx-drivers-support-windows-7-but-blacklist-8-1-install.293507/post-4730081

Sometimes, jokes need to be explained. At such times, i thank Google. Governments should be political organisations but some of them are organisations only, who are nevertheless responsible for their citizens, but their citizens are also responsible for such "governments".

Oh, that explains it then! Government is a political organisation, therefore - the member's postings, and even the account presence, are violating the forum rules.

But you're very wrong. Google is nobody's friend.

Everything is possible, we don't see who's on the other end of the cable.But NotHereToPlayGames never complained about the VPN problems. Struggle to see how this is relevant to the thread, explain?

When I talk about data protection and internet security, it's always about privacy. I belong to neither the one nor the other school you mentioned. And people who spread all sorts of ill-considered stuff on the Internet or are willing to give away unlimited data can't be helped anyway.

That depends on which country you live in and how data protection is organised there. Your statement certainly applies to the USA, but not to Germany, for example. Here is a link to a provider with no-logging policy that I would trust and whose server can be used even as a normal DNS resolver: Freifunk München I would use this service if I didn't trust my local provider. But in my country, data protection is a valuable asset. So I just use my local provider with own DNS resolver. But I could increase safety considerably if I wanted to. All inside my country. And if I were also to use one of my paid VPN services with a no log strategy outside my country, then ...

As the last resort, try to edit nvlddmkm.sys to skip the OS_VER checks, but gotta have at least some experience with it.

Well, that's the question for nVidia, I guess. nVidia swears it should work, officially. Look under the supported products. https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/197673/en-us/ Probably you need to contact the laptop manufacturer. There's a well known fact when manufacturers implement artificial blocks against certain OS.

You don't have to, facts tell for themselves! Besides, it'd be boring because you all tell the same. Regarding VPN, the administration of MSFN had their right reserved to block whatever they want, it's written in the rules. When (and if) they allow Russia to be whitelisted again, they will notify you, stay tuned. I hope politics wasn't the reason you joined MSFN, seeing it's your first post.

v8 was a very od one. The new one that was added is v11.0.0.175 https://www.mediafire.com/file/gj2i59pdix1o180/Windows_XP_-_Integral_Edition_-_Paragon_GPT_Loader_v11.0.0.175.zip/file

YES, We will hope ...

So I tested the much-vaunted Start11 and I will not allow SAB. There is nothing better. Start 11 does not reach the SAB even to the ankles. So much for my opinion

I have made only 2 posts referring to @XPerceniol. You, on the other hand, certainly wrote more posts than I did even in response to other MSFN members who did not have MyPal 68 as their topic. So try to be more sympathetic to the answers other MSFN members give to help others. P.S. Discussion closed. If you post anything OT in any thread from now on I will be there to point out this rule of yours broken by yourself.

Right. This OT you wrote doesn't seem to me to be relevant to MyPal68,and moreover you intruded on a reply that N. was giving to a fellow countryman. So your rules apply to everyone but yourself?

ECH is not available in MyPal. But this is not important because 99.99% of websites do not use it. And that's what I wrote to @XPerceniol No misleading or dangerous advice as usual the multiple acconts would have you believe (who are clueless as usual).

I did not start in this thread to discuss the Cloudflare test. I just wrote (between the lines) that it doesn't matter if the last test is failed. Moreover, I quoted another user,so my assistance is directed exclusively to this user. You guys can also ignore my interventions. Try you and the multiple account (which I don't even respond to because it is useless now) to call others out as well when they go OT in a topic. Avoid replying because I will not respond to other interventions.

@XPerceniol As I used to tell my students, a picture is worth more than 100 words. In my ECH browser it is always on. In the website below ECH is active. Sites like this are in the minority. In the website below, ECH is not active. 99.9% of websites are in this situation.

Well ... I don't know, I guess I subscribe to this school of thinking, I mean, I'm certain my ISP knows pretty much everything about me, but I do nothing wrong. When I gave up all addictive substance/behaviors in 2017 porn also had to go FOR GOOD and never since. I have a very addictive personality so I need be careful of even forum addiction ... which is partly why I don't post as much as I used to. Thank you @Sampei.Nihira for that explanation, I think I get it, but I don't know, I haven't been doing very well as of late and sometimes the simplest of instructions escapes me. Thank you guys for everything. Maybe time to just use my ISP's dns resolver going forward since I'm not on a VPN anyway so I'm not hiding. I mean if anybody wants to come see me that badly just let me know so I can put on a pot of coffee ... I can't cook but I can at least do that much but be warned I'm terrible company nowadays. Take good care.

Again a lie. In Russia, VPN is not prohibited, and access (in one way or another, as best as possible) to resources blocked by government agencies is also not prohibited. In Russia, only propaganda and dissemination of ways to bypass blocking are prohibited. Nothing more. So you still have to see the presence of russians on this resource. Fight with the Russian government or your own government, but not with the russians, we haven’t done anything bad to you (specifically to you!).

Not exactly true. There are publicly known ways of modern encryption to avoid that. Therefore, at best - they will know only the sites you connect to, but not traffic.

I have a similar Xeon Board from 2009. It was sold with the first edition of Server 2008. Server 2008 was issued to OEM sales on January 2008. Server 2003 and XP64 had some odd behaviour with the C-states of Xeon CPUs. I had to force C1 state only, and the issues were gone.
