Calibri was added since 2007 Office System. How does it indicate that one runs Office 365? The Half-Life references came because people saw I had a video open in a screenshot.

Removing MoveImages setting fixed the issue. I did set it some time ago. On computer B with 20 GB RAM and similar settings set by me the out of the box experience with Supermium is equally good under Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 R2 with MoveImages 0 or default. At default, everything is relocated to some random numbers. At 0, chrome.dll is at 12000000 (not relocated). However, on computer A, the setting 0 caused the problem because of an unknown other factor. I opened a great number of webpages and only used 5 GB of memory. https://imgur.com/a/mRljd3T The task managers seem to show different memories so there is not quite a parity.

Xul.dll is shown as relocated. Maybe there is a security setting that does it. There is only one copy of New Moon anyway. Those websites seemed to be a bit heavy, but that's how they are today. I have only one extension TamperMonkey. If I find that it starts a new process, I will remove it and have autoplay back because 170 MB for autoplay is silly. Shareable working set for Chrome.exe is about 12-14 MB. I will check later on other computer.

Your imagination is running wild. It is "Black Mesa," and has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Foobar2000 is playing the BBC. Realtime priority makes sure there are no interruptions. It works well. What do you think BBC is? Of course there are too many processes with 27 chromes. Without chrome, memory use was about 30%. Lots of experimentation to do. Using libase.exe didn't improve the situation. All child processes of chrome.dll are still put at 0x15360000 and the root process has it at 0x16840000. My value of "MoveImages" is 0. "MitigationOptions" doesn't seem to be a valid setting in Windows 2008 R2. I ran a full text search and found no references.

Opium is Opera built around the Chromium engine. Lol. They seem to be relocated. Opera is also relocated. Could this be a side-effect of 32-bit program running on 64-bit Windows? I can take a look tomorrow on my other computer with 32-bit Windows. But it has 20 GB of memory for the browser to expand like a gas. https://i.imgur.com/uoLDUQ5.png I have Supermium 126.0.6478.256 (Official Build) (32-bit) which was the latest when I got it a few weeks ago.

The extension works on YouTube. I see the static advertisement that I expected. I don't like the video playing by itself because it robs the CPU and often times I have already seen it. I only do simple adblock using DNS. Installing extensions and keeping them up to date is a bit daunting. They would need CPU and memory for themselves too. What is a rebase issue? In Opium 93 each process is about 35 MB. I've not edited or compressed the Supermium binaries. Is one expected to do that? Does installing the Tamper Monekey Autoplay script cause new processes to be created? I think this is too many processes. One per tab I can accept. Maybe this is a good reason for reddit fans of WinXP to finally upgrade to Server 2003 to have enough memory to run the browser.

Jesus, that is four tabs and one internal tab open, and it ate all my memory. https://i.imgur.com/FPrv0q8.png

Is there any appreciable benefit from AVX? People say AVX was created a long time ago now. But back then there was no gain from paying for an "i3" when a "Pentium" was exactly the same without AVX and hyperthreading that I always saw a bit of a gimmick.

Is it possible to set videos to not play automatically in Supermium like in New Moon? The CPU load of video playing (advertisements playing) makes the rest of the page load longer and unresponsive.

I'm so used to websites not working properly in old browsers that I not even see the tiny differences in fonts. I would go to this website to fetch a driver or check if a CPU was supported and never return to it again. With ClearType disabled, most new fonts look very thin because their weight and hinting have been adjusted for subpixel rendering in mind. But I look at the desktop and normal websites more often, which take priority.

I think you can install Win98 after booting into DOS from a floppy or similar and running oemsetup.exe located on the hard disk along with its files.

Web browsers have always done their GUI using their own web toolkit. Look at the About box of Internet Explorer and how the OK button looks when pressed. The Internet Options dialog is a separate application and looks normal. The New Moon preferences window is a good match but slightly off. The drop-down listboxes have each entry taller, and the arrow button doesn't visibly depress. Then Basilisk/Serpent replaced the settings window by a flat webpage. Black type becoming thinner with an adjustment in the monitor is likely because you are clipping some highlights off. Adjustments with the monitor's buttons always bring it further from the ideal that the computer assumes. So parts that were light grey on the edges now become fully white. The anti-aliasing has a gamma problem. When done in gamma-encoded space, the intermediate levels where the font shape covers half of the pixel will have a value of 50%, but it will map to about 21% of linear brigthness. White type will become thicker in that situation. The Windows ClearType tuner presents you with a few example boxes to compensate for this.

There might be a way to reset the usage statistics with a service cable and tools, which allow to write to hidden areas of the disk. I don't think there is any benefit of chaging the firmware to you or the seller. Power management you usually want to disable if you put it in a stationary desktop system to avoid the disk starting and stopping or parking the heads, which creates wear. I've not seen any sales of HDD on AliExpress that were attractively priced. HDD is a realatively cheap item, heavy (3.5'') and at risk of being damaged in mail. They like to sell items like an SSD in a padded envelope.

That is hard to tell for certain. I think if there was damage it would show upon an error scan, and any debris might spread across the surface causing more damage. Small laptop HDDs usually have aggressive head parking when idle for a short time. You may be able to hear this as a chirp. When you do safely remove hardware again, listen to the drive (with the case open if needed) if it parks the head immediately. It might do that on a command from the computer.

Normal is up to 2 m³. Without an ability to go outdoors, there is nothing to wash. We had water practically free up to about year 2000 when meters became mandatory. We would use it to water the garden. It was, of course, a tragedy of the commons and someone else had to foot the bill from taxes. Today, I don't think the city would entertain the idea of no water meter in a house. If I watch some online video with a demonstration at a sink where cleaning is involved, they seem to know only two positions, fully open and fully closed. and keep talking while water is getting wasted. On the BBC they often talk about some country's plight and how horribly disadvantaged they are because of the carbon emissions (usually) or conflict. One time they talked about how those people don't have water, and they pulled out some big number, like a hudred liters per day, I forgot the exact value, showing how far the news reporters are removed from practicality.

The fonts are webfonts that are downloaded from the server. Everything works without them too. I don't see that much difference in Chrome Refresh 2023. Some buttons are moved around, most noticeably the menu in the top-left corner. Well, if you enable the dark mode, then the hospital becomes a sooty chimney. Some of those Experiments are what would be normal options in past software. If people don't use then, it's because they can't find them in that list. Programmers have an excuse not to lay out a GUI and revise it to fit in new options. GUI-less software has existed before, all the CLI encoders.

Where do I put this in New Moon or Serpent? The official page says it is a Developer Extension for new browsers where YT is fast anyway. Can you comment under videos with this? I'm afraid it will be a constant cat and mouse with updating it.

Supermium is already modern. All pages are white as a hospital wall and completely flat. Preferences are an unorganized long list. Menus compacted under a master hamburger button. What's even more modern than this?

I didn't like the my prefix "My" prefix. Imagine you are instructing another person to do something, and tell him to "open my computer" or my documents (not yours but his). There are still some sybolic links to "My" folders on Windows 2008 R2. I always rename the my computer to something descriptive according to a brand of the computer itself or its owner or its curent role. I don't get why they introduced the term "This PC". Maybe Computer seemed to general. These days computers increasingly ofter are called "devices". I don't think it is called MS Computer anywhere.

A normative water consumption here is about 10 m³ per month per declared resident. That would be enough for taking two showers every day and then some. That is for an apartment without any garden. It is very expensive, especially for municipal hot water. A median or running average is only possible if there have been recent data points, and you've forgotten to hand in a reading once or twice. There are new water meters that have either reporting over radio and/or a limit to how much water they will allow. Since those need to be swapped regularly for accuracy, it can also get expensive, and apartment owners are asked to vote whether to install them or pay extra for lost or stolen water. Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken gives a numeric signature device for logging in and signing orders. Their website works in New Moon, although with a warning that the browser should be updated.

There is probably a professional Enterprise or Server version of Windows without that Copilot stuff. But we got a long time before Windows 11 is needed.

Why do you torture yourself with watching YouTube in Palemoon when youtube-dl exists, and search for screen tearing.

I discovered an unexpected behavior of the Windows NT 6.1 Notepad. I make a text file with long lines and enable word wrap to constrain it to the window width. The window can be dragged to different widths and text reflows normally. Next I save this file. At this point the Notepad window has newline symbols inserted at the word wrap points. If I were to select and copy the text, and paste it into another window, there would be hard line breaks in the text. The saved file does not have those newlines. If I drag the Notepad window wider, the text in it doesn't expand. When I save it again, it does expand to the current window width and a new set of ghost newlines are inserted. The line breaks in the pasted text are usually unwanted. I guess it could be used to create a text of some width by temporarily utilizing Notepad. Some programs paste the ghost line breaks as double.

You likely deal with compressed data without realizing it every day. Most programs sent to you from the internet are compressed and can be extracted to their exact original form, otherwise they wouldn't work. When you download a game packed with RAR, all sound in it is compressed in a broadly similar way to FLAC. Audio data contains redundancy. Neighboring samples are usually similar. This allows a program to analyze them and make a prediction. Imagine you want to record the air temperature every day. It can go between very hot in July to very cold in January. But there is not much difference between consecutive days. So instead of saving every reading in full, you save the difference from the previous day, which is a smaller number. You can still recover the full number exactly with simple arithmetic. This is how all "multimedia" compression with "delta" encoding works. It is in PNG and in 7-Zip. The differences will be even smaller if you choose to record the temperature once per hour. Then you can build an algorithm to detect a cycle in every 24 units, which now becomes similar to sound with periodic vibrations. Instead of looking only one sample backwards, you can keep a sliding memory window that is a bit longer. Another aspect that can be exploited in compression is that the entire range of values is not utilized. When the music is fading out, the top bits stay zero the entire time. Back to the temperature analogy, you might choose a scale that encompases the Sahara desert and Antarctica, but those extremes are never reached in practice. The "FLAC is not lossless" argument has been debated many times, and you can find the discussions on a web search. "Shaves off" is a figure of speech, and can't be analyzed on technical grounds.

You can use the bit-compare tool in Foobar to check if the files are identical and the magnitude of the difference. I don't trust ffmpeg. It attempts to do so many things and not any of them really well. It also goes through rapid updating and growth in size. One version might work right and another might not. If you feed it 24 bits make sure you get that out. FFMPEG compressor is really special because it can compress samples with high redundancy like classical music or dull drone to levels similar to TAK, so it has a reason for existing.
