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.

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.
