On behalf of xper, an explanation for MSFN being offline for the last few days. An ingress of water at the location of the server caused damage, fortunately not to the server itself, but to the room's UPS system batteries, which necessitated the removal of power and a physical move of the server to another location. This obviously took some time to do. Hopefully there will now be no further issues relating to this.

OK everyone, take a deep breath and calm down. All new members of MSFN, or any other forum for that matter, should be treated with respect, and not have their initial contributions considered to be ignorant or naive. People come to forums like this to learn. As the strap line says here, "Where People Go To Know". As to whether this forum is 'obscure', I would venture that all technical forums are 'obscure' by their very nature, compared with the mass market options of social media. That does not make them any less valuable for those who choose to use them.

People reported success by re-registering these dlls: softpub.dll, wintrust.dll, initpki.dll, dssenh.dll, rsaenh.dll, gpkcsp.dll, sccbase.dll, slbcsp.dll, mssip32.dll, cryptdlg.dll And reboot, of course, to apply changes.

First of all, I think it's right and good that someone other than myself is also working on the great and very important extension uBlock Origin Legacy and developing it further. Since nothing has happened for years, I see my efforts here in relation to uBlock Origin Legacy as a kind of initial spark to maintain this extension again and bring it up to date. Based on the way a well-known American moron speaks I would say: "Make uBlock Origin Legacy great again!" @UCyborg has started a promising project on GitHub. I already had a look at it. An indirect collaboration has already taken place, as he has used my internal list of all standard filter lists, i.e. the assets.json file, as the basis for his one. But I cannot and will not comment on direct collaboration at this point. In any case, I will continue to maintain my version here for a while. The next version is coming up very soon. This means that the user now has the option of choosing their preferred version. As I have already said between the lines, a wider range of products generally stimulates "business". Cheers, AstroSkipper

The obvious always speaks for itself. Things that are such self-explanatory and clear do not need any longer to be explained in detail. Apart from that, a more in-depth consideration would be inadmissible due to our forum rules and of no use in certain cases anyway.

Thanks! People had been doing that for decades! Of course it's always a risk, warnings are everywhere, including the dedicated topics about the flashing (the only place where one can obtain a modded bios). "the 8600GTS I flashed for him to the Quadro performed a lot better than the 8600GTS before the flash" https://www.overclock.net/threads/8600gt-flash-to-quadro-fx-1700.355437/ Flashing old (only very old generations!) of cards to Quadro is no "lie". Why only old? Because later nVidia made moves against it and issued a physical block. (need to solder some resistors off) Considering the current price of 5 bucks , in my opinion, the risk is worth it.

Yes, this is very unfortunate. They would be more secure otherwise.

I don't buy Windows in any form anymore. It will drive them to bankruptcy. And I'm still waiting for nVidia to drive off the cliff since I don't buy anything from them since 2013.

I asked the director of our big PC store about the sales, he said: "it's the same, basically". People still buy lots of PCs with the OS already preinstalled, esp. laptops. German Fujitsu Notebook LIFEBOOK U7613, their ultra-light LIFEBOOK U9413, LIFEBOOK U9313X (ultra-light, silver-white convertible) are very popular here, they come Windows 11 Pro already installed.

News about my mod uBlock Origin Legacy! I have of course noticed that there is considerable interest in my mod uBlock Origin Legacy. I have therefore addressed the problem of updating an existing installation of my mod. With the upcoming release of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.34, it will then also be possible to install over an existing installation of my mod (1.16.4.34 and higher). The internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) will then finally be automatically updated, too. I am still in the testing phase, but everything looks good and seems to work so far. Cheers, AstroSkipper

It was a joke. Clearly, the title is misspelled, not to mention the overall misleading, clickbait style name of the topic and improper, poor English grammar. No articles to support that "theory", nothing.

You mean it's in the hands of Shakey's Pizza? Shakey's Pizza bought Microsoft?

On the other hand, FX 1700 is a direct copy of a very common 8600GS. I personally reflashed it in 2007. GT version should have a different VRAM though. So maybe a good BIOS for 1800 exists. If flashed properly, not drivers editing would be needed. I'm still afraid the 9 series is too new. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-8600-gs.c1767

AOMEI Partition Assistant can copy or clone partitions or disks. Here is a versions comparison in German: https://www.aomei.de/partition-manager/comparison.html I personally have installed the Professional Edition of AOMEI Partition Assistant and AOMEI Backupper.

I'm not surprised at all. As you know, complex postings with special links and code are currently very problematic due to the new life of the MSFN post editor. The longer the post, the sooner the well-known error message appears. BTW, any news for us about your obviously changed update policy in terms of UXP browsers and email clients or did I miss something?

Looking at the quotation from the version history on their homepage, the support for Windows XP seems to have been restored in WINSCP 6.3.2 and that completely unexpected. Unbelievable and great! WinSCP is the FTP client I am using to connect my Android devices with my Windows XP computer via WLAN. I thought support for Windows XP had been discontinued for good. BTW, the most recent version 6.4 is already announced but not released yet. But it will probably not be long in coming.

Please, don't try to start a fight! The sanctions which our governments applied are the result of what your country does. Those are facts, there's no "hatred" in that. MSFN is located in France, thus has to obey. The time will come, and one day you all will be ashamed of your behaviour! Though, I don't believe in that.

Dave, be on your guard with that "Thorium". Recently, there was a scandal with the author of "Thorium," something involving child abuse, and the files were inside that browser. The author had to acknowledge and came out with with a confession, all that after numerous attempts of denying it. I shan't post links, I don't want to get MSFN involved in that drama. And who knows what else is stuffed in that browser! All is easily googleable.

Some of those Acers I came across were locked to Win8 only in their BIOS.

About: Menu - A custom button for accessing all about: pages via a toolbar menu The About: Menu custom button, created by the well-known developer LouCypher long time ago, is another useful one. It gives the user the opportunity to access any desired about: page by clicking onto the corresponding entry inside a toolbar button menu. This menu contains all entries which are listed on the about:about page, but it is more convenient to access via a toolbar button. Here is a screenshot: I only changed the tool tip text and replaced the image of the toolbar button icon by the one from the Add-ons Manager. I should mention at this point that the button does not work in Serpent 52, but in New Moon 28. Thanks to @dmiranda for reporting! I uploaded the About: Menu custom button as an HTML file for an offline installation. Here is the download link of my modded custom button About: Menu, credits, of course, to its great developer LouCypher: https://www.mediafire.com/file/o931jc1a3e7l9zj/About-_Menu_4-7-24__021410.htm/file Simply open this HTML file in a browser tab and click the embedded custom button link for About: Menu! For the installation of this button, as for all others too, the extension Custom Buttons is required and has to be installed first.

Creating this thread was complex and very time-consuming. Right from the start, I paid attention to a good and clear structure. In the first three posts of this thread, I made a clear differentiation between extensions and custom buttons: Introductory post: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226243 Extensions: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226244 Custom buttons and other articles: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183923-extensions-and-custom-buttons-for-uxp-browsers-corrections-modifications-adjustments-and-special-recommendations/?do=findComment&comment=1226245 All listed entries there have been linked to their corresponding posts. Thus, all is easy to find. In my opinion, that will have to suffice. BTW, such kind of structure is rather rare to find here in this or other forums (actually fora), if I may say so. But thanks for your opinion!

Registry corruption, like I suspected, did you use un-installers, maybe?

You're welcome! Glad to be of help!

That's why I assumed the registry corruption and/or missing MS Authority certs, this was the first logical thing to think of. If only we had a programme similar to DDU (graphics drivers cleanup), the programme which would reinstall the Asmedia driver cleanly, restoring the original windows registry entries before it.

I don't rely on "user allowed" settings as they come back to default each time when a new profile is made, so I use it via cmd --disable-quic , without quotes of course.

This topic is about Google's QUIC implementation, which is clearly shown in the title, yet it obviously doesn't prevent you from posting off-topic and insulting, all as usual with your posts.

Yep! Got the same loooongish pause before the post finally came through! Probably it checks the words? Anyway, please report there, more reports, probably it gets fixed. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185994-cant-edit-my-first-post-in-thread-error-when-posting-links/

GTX 750 is a rare, odd beast. It belongs to a different (newer) gen., despite being among the old Kepler 700 series, it explains the lower temps and better seeking perfectly fine. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-750.c1986

@Felipefpl Use the filter list "AdGuard Base" from the group "Ads"! This will prevent the detection of uBlock Origin Legacy on the website www.ovagames.com. I have just tested it successfully.

Oh, sorry, indeed, how could I?!

It's the latest "gaming trend". They reissue old games with artificially bumped up reqs. Probably deserves a dedicated topic on how to deal with it. I don't know how many gamers we have here,

Businesses will continue to use Windows, consumers will continue to use smartphones, and MSFN members will continue to use old hardware as long as possible.

Yes, absolutely fine, I also did that BIOS mod by reflashing to 3700. There was (still is?) a ready made BIOS file from the original Quadro card circulating the internet.

Hello @NojusK! I am using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 on one of my Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit partitions. Unfortunately, I have to make the same observation here. The update works, but the last update of the virus definition is v2024.03.13.12. Nothing more up-to-date is currently available. Here is a screenshot: However, we should wait some days to see if this is really the end. You know hope dies last. In any case, I totally agree Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro 1.75.0.1300 was and is the lightest antimalware programme ever.

Save this last definition update to recover it for whatever reasons in the case it is no longer available via online update! Greetings, AstroSkipper

That's a very personal insult to everyone involved with MSFN. I don't agree with your offensive statement.

@XPerceniolmade his "triple-posting" in a row because each film belongs to a different genre. 1 2 3 And no, @XPerceniol doesn't look like one of "only half of your accounts", in my opinion, but several others unnamed profiles are.

Whom exactly do you call "young"? Princess Irulan. Original - Virginia Gayle Madsen (born September 11, 1961), 21 years old at the moment of filming in 1983. Remake (weakest cast ever) - Princess Irulan. Florence Pugh (/ p j uː / " PEW "; born 3 January 1996) - 28 years old! But probably still "young" for Christopher Walken, in his 80s.
