A lossless format can be opened and saved any number of times without degradation. The file is smaller because of compression, which exploits similarities between successive samples to extract a trend in them. The remaining error can then be saved with fewer bits. A lossy codec differs here that it would only use X number of bits and no more, while a lossless codec will use as many as needed. Note that some editors will apply dithering when saving an open file, including wav files. This is under assumption that that you actually made some edits. Some other software might reduce the bit depth. This is why you need to be familiar with the chosen software and its advanced options. Appending is complicated by the fact that the last block is shorter. In the simplest FLAC stream all blocks are the same length. This is why the splice might not be seamless. Medieval Cue Splitter attempted this and has polluted the internet with albums that are not gapless. For appending I would use Foobar2000 converter, selecting in the advanced options, bit depth: auto (default) and destination: Merge all tracks into one output file.

There is not much reason not to re-encode a FLAC. One of the main benefits from lossless is to give you freedom to edit. Just use any visual editor you are comfortable with, or use Foobar2000 to produce a single file output. If you have an old PC, there is a CUDA (FLACCL) encoder for 16-bit that is very fast. MkvToolNix throws a big warnings on appending multiple files that are in the same format. You can then extract it, but it is a hassle. Some strict or simple players might not like the transition point or not play it gapless. With lossy formats you would avoid transcoding to maintain the quality, and editing this way was very limited. This is not needed with lossless.

Jesus you got some ultra strict banks. We have one bank like that here, but only one that I know of. Is there an equivalent to the Open With menu in New Moon, where you can launch a media player or youtube-dl on a hyperlink? Without that, New Moon must still be the main browser.

There is some kind of glitchy memory effect with this site. Sometimes it allows me to get to the image in New Moon. Like right now after some time has passed and the browser had been closed. But before it didn't and persistently put me on the /media link. On the browser's Media tab it showed that the image was 0 px, and on saving it downloaded another file from the server instead of saving what he should have had in memory. I solved this problem by copying the link and pasting into Opera (which wasn't used to read the linked thread). To clarify, the blame is mostly on the website who instructs the browser and it blindly obeys. They don't want to waste 12 MB of traffic because some entusiast decided to upload an oversized photo. I think there should be tools in the browser to pick out content that is restricted.

There appears to be no way of viewing this image in New Moon or any other modern browser. https://i.redd.it/v1bl283zwn6e1.png When I want to get it, to break it out of the frame by choosing View Image or pasting the URL into the address bar, I am redirected to reddit.com/media and view it inside a frame again. The problem is that the picture is really big and I need to zoom in to see anything, which the /media page doesn't allow. In New Moon it only gets as big as the screen. It seems to have a similar "scripting redirect hook" as Rate Your Music covers artwork to prevent the image freom being gotten. It also cannot be saved from the Media dialog.

The lamp has all the colors in one unit on the phosphors. It can't lose one of them. I've had a pin on the VGA connector getting bent and two colors combining. If it is the display panel that is faulty, I've never seen it repaired, only swapped out. It is probably too hard to deal with the microscopic components. At best you could probably try to clean and reseat all connections inside. If it was the power supply, the display would probably not turn on. Maybe the fault is on the video board where the input is.

Downloads still working for me with a build from 2024-05-22. I'm addicted to watching web videos every day while eating. But I'll be damned if I watch them in the browser with advertisements every 5 minutes and fans spinning and dropped frames.

I get about 20 seconds in New Moon and 4 seconds in Supermium. That's just how modern sites are. At least it finished loading. Even if they made their website look like MSDOS with eyesore colors, I bet they'd have stretching and squeezing in the background. People are afraid to be left behind on the web and judged for poor security and standards. Look at all the pixelated retro games that have come out recently and require a 64-bit computer with Direct3D. Out of all that GOG has, I have www.googletagmanager.com blocked.

For me the GOG page loads fine. Maybe it was an issue with the network, not specific to any browser. I see now that the default browser is set using a separate program: uninstall\helper.exe /SetAsDefaultAppUser At some point I deleted this when I cleaned up the Palemoon directory because I didn't actually "install" the browser (it comes in a zip file). HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a merged view of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes { usually empty } and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes ; so adding something to HKCR just works and puts it under machine or sometimes user if it can't put it under machine. This is where everything would go on old OS and still does for me. There is some new-OS specific override, but on my system I couldn't find it. Maybe it is never created if user doesn't chooses a browser. You can witness a "ghost key" if you create two keys with the same name under both machine and user. Then go under HKCR and delete it and think it is gone. It gets deleted from user. Then it "respawns" and is read from machine. One of the surprised that came with XP where user began to be used more. Windows, without setting another browser, seems do something strange. It looks if any browser is already open and then uses that to open a HTTP link. Normally I have Opera 8 open to receive e-mails. It doesn't seem to actually be in the registry. I wonder how it knows that it is a browser.

I see now where those buttons can be disabled. I went over the Flags, but got lost in that long list. Some Cookies don't seem to get transferred when I copy the browser into new Windows. When I open Google there, I always need to accept cookies. He forgets that I did that.

How is the "Make New Moon the Default Browser" button supposed to work? It didn't do anything to me on Windows 2008 R2 and kept asking on startup to make default. I am Administrator with all rights, UAC off. I used to have Opera 8 as default. But it couldn't open anything anymore, so I tried to make New Moon the default. Since then either Internet Explorer would open, or sometimes Opera 12 would open if it was open already. It seems to be guessed and helped by Windows (of course). There is some complexity with this feature, which has gotten worse since in Windows 7. If I did it by the book, in Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> Set Associations, only Internet Explorer would presented as the choice, and I can't browse. So I opened HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell and created an open command with Palemoon replacing the old command with Internet Explorer, which seems to work. I scoured the registry and couldn't find any references to Opera.

Would the result of fixing Chrome be much different than Supermium, which has already been fixed? There is not much difference between vairous Chrome-variants.

Look inside user32.dll. You will need a second installed operating system or a boot CD to replace operating system files. Keep backups of previously working files. Be careful if you use the original version of Resource Hacker as it can sometimes produce corrupted files if you repeatedly save to the same file. You probably need to defeat the System File Protection in the dllcache directory.

I stumbled upon a couple posts of people complaining about too much RAM being used on their Windows 11 computer. One says 39 GB was in use and another says 19 GB, with 1.7 GB of driver pool. Feels like Mυsk losing a few million. Then the responses are "ram exists to be used" which was voted up by 1400 people. "It's just smart use of resources to make things work with less but scale with more when available." - No one's talking about disk cache after you've read an ISO or similar, that is never reflected as used RAM. And "it's normal for PCs to use around half of the RAM when in idle mode, even when nothing is currently running. That's because Windows uses Superfetch..." - Imagine sitting and waiting while it loads 15 gigs from the disk.

Supermium seems to work well and stable. It will complement New Moon for me. I wish the author can implement a normal Settings window with checkboxes because scrolling through those flags on a white hospital wall is overwhelming. There is a lot of stuff to disable, all the security crap and bypassing of my DNS. Can we customize the interface to get rid useless toolbar buttons like Enable Experiments and You? How do you get certificates into Supermium? There is no import button like in old browsers. Do you need to reinstall a new version? It seems I can disable most of the Secure Preferences to share a profile between two Windows "Disable machine ID". So far I have noticed settings disappearing like in Opera when not in portable mode. How do you prevent the Translation prompt from popping up all the time when the page is in English already? I want to have the option to translate when I click a button, but not the floating toolbar pestering me about it. The Ungoogled mode is not useful because then I can't access search from anywhere on the UI, nor add Google myself in the UI.

I got a Core 2 Duo from them and some DDR2 RAM. The prices for higher processors have since come down. I think they must have "recycled" old professionally used computers. Xeon processors are common. There were false listings of Pentium 4s, but they were obvious by the etchings. They can't do anything to fake the CPU like flash a "BIOS," and they are really not worth more than that.

NVidia and/or Microsoft Windows have overhauled this behavior in Windows NT 6. This explains to me why game modders hadn't addressed this. You could't possible talk about WinXP to them without being laughed back to the stone age like a hopeless git. Here is memory use under 2008 R2 after one loop on the highway in Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Nothing in the paged pool for NVidia. MmSt is some kind of file cache, and CM31 is probably the registry. At some point I've had full 8 GB of commit (out of 8 GB of RAM without a swap file) playing with PhotoPea, system uptime is about one and a half months. When alt-tabbing, video memory use remains 209 MB. Here is memory use under 2003 SP2 after launching the game: about 38 MB for NV_x, Dh 2, Gh05. After one loop around the Rosewood Highway 99 the memory use is about 59 MB for NV_x, Dh 2, Gh05. After alt-tabbing to the desktop, memory use drops to 19 MB. But I can still re-enter the game. NFS:MW is a reasonably well-behaved game, expected to work fine on an old PC, but probably not WinXP SP1 anymore. The driver in both cases is 368.81, but it acts differently depending on the Windows. Process Explorer with symbols reports that the maximum paged pool is 354 MB on 32-bit Windows 2003. https://imgur.com/a/qofoSUc But there is a saying that the coffin cannot remain empty. People on modern Windows report gigs of RAM being lost for another reason: https://www.google.com/search?q=nvidia+paged+pool

What I was saying is buy a Pentium-66 and a board that can take an upgrade. Then swap in a Pentium-133 or whatever is the highest for that socket, when nobody wants those processors anymore. The best at the given time CPU has an astronomical price. Now look how you can get capable processors on Ali for €5 or €10, same things that used to cost €250. If you bought a 486, then you'd be locked into that.

What does OnlyOffice do that old versions of Microsoft Office don't? It's online and therefore inefficient with resources, and not isolated from the browser crashing. I don't think high end hardware is ever a good deal. Look what happened to great flagship processors a few years later, how their value dropped. There are diminishing returns from paying more money: you don't get double the speed for paying 2x. I would buy a good board with open slots for memory, and a processor one level higher than than the basic one. Then upgrade the PC a few years later cheaply. Always use software that is a generation or more older than the PC and it will fly. My bank recently updated to a flat and white design, but I can still connect with New Moon.

Polymer capacitors were added on most boards around the CPU. Gigabyte and soon others added them all over the board. But the Ultra Durable™ was presented as a big deal. Pentium 4, one of the word CPUs of all time, on Socket 478 boards often could be seen cooking old style capacitors. But that is not the topic. There was another issue with cheap computer cases where the shield of the connector was not connected to the metal case because the whole front was plastic. It has a ground in one of those 4 wires and the a fifth that is the shield. That caused the PC to lock up when a device was plugged in (not removed like in my case) because static was discharged into the connector.

One of the things I really love about the New Moon browser is how easy it is to transfer everything to another computer. All cookies and settings still work. I don't need to log in to all the sites, the search toolbar and bookmarks are there. Losing the cookies is a disaster when some of the passwords have been forgotten. Opera (Opium) is deliberately giving me a hard time with a concept called "secure preferences", which make them tied to the Windows user account.

That comment was not constructive. I put together this system new and love it. It boots fast, and the BIOS is nice looking, and navigable with the keyboard like in old days. I've been a fan of the Gigabyte brand and bought into their ultra durable marketing (even though other boards soon had the same parts). It was my mom's PC and wasn't driven hard. It may have been "broken" years ago. I put XP on it because if familiarity, and accepted that USB didn't work. All boards have a bunch of extra unused USB headers. But the brackets never come with anything and must be ordered by mail.

They don't work in Windows and can't be used to boot the computer in BIOS. When plug in a mouse, the mouse lights up, but Windows doesn't see it. The LED on a storage device initially comes on and goes out immediately. The motherboards are: GA-B75M-D3H (American Megatrends EFI BIOS) and DH77KC (Intel Visual BIOS / grey AMI). I fear that I may have damaged the B75M now. The Kingston DataTraveller 111 now doesn't connect to the USB 3.0 port at all even when the computer has been just turned on. It works in the USB 2 ports; but it can also disable them. (Mouse is powered on but not seen by computer.) It still works in DH77KC. The speed is increased to 70 MB/s from 32 MB/s in USB 3.0 mode. This DataTraveller might be a cancer and somehow shorting the port when unplugged. In the BIOS I have the following settings: XHCI Pre-Boot Driver: Enabled XHCI Mode: Smart Auto HS Port {1..4} Switchable: Enabled XHCI Streams: Enabled

Well, New Moon won't win any special olympics. I use it because I like the traditional GUI. Hardware acceleration in New Moon has problems for me: 1) font weight increases, 2) it seems to require new video adapter and drivers, 3) vsync for some reason gets disabled in other programs. Outputting a text doesn't require acceleration, nor should it need particularly new hardware. The bottleneck is the javascript almost always. Very big and simple pages like old reddit with 100 posts feel a tad slower. It's a bit strange that print screen doesn't work. In media players it tends to always work nowadays, since we no longer use Overlay Mixer. Maybe it is crippled intentionaly for those movie playback sites.

I have made the following observation. I have two computers with the Panther Point chipset that have some blue USB 3.0 ports. They have no drivers and work in USB 2.0 mode for booting and in Win 2003. (I only found a driver recently.) If I pull out a USB drive without using Safely Remove Hardware, the port stops working until the machine is powered down. A reboot is not enough. It feels like there is something like a resettable fuse. They are normally grounded to the case. One set is on the front_panel cable and another is on the i/o shield. Initially I thought that the USB 3.0 ports wouldn't work at all because of no drivers, which would suck because of only 2 or 4 ports remaining, until observed the pattern. If I use Safely Remove, there is no problem. I was told by another person that he has not encountered this. But he is the kind of person who would not admit that any item he owns has any kind of flaw. Have you seen this behavior?
