    Can you use MOS Authenticator for this? It is a small program that I used on WinXP to access a bank. But it may be a different format of password. http://www.maxoutput.com/authenticator/

    Can't you use DLP directly in place of it? I think the basic command-line is compatible. Recently YouTube figured out to return 403 Forbidden in the middle of a download, necessitating a manual check for completeness. Recent DLP seems to have a workaround for it.

    No I actually visit the Old Reddit where the issue happens. I selected it in the preferences.

    Why does this page cause massive CPU usage in New Moon 28? The Skyrim forum features a scrolling blurred background that is barely visible. Detached backgrounds should be a bit more heavy. But why so much? The performance is better in Serpent. https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/15ogxfp/marker_stuck_on_void_teleportation_room/

    People can just install Server if they want to use a system like that, with less trouble than transplanting individual files, and fewer nonsense features.

    I hear that is no longer possible to add file associations in the registry on Windows 10. And that you need to obtain a secret hash. To what extent is this true? What happens if you open Registry Editor and try to add keys under HKCR, or try to merge a REG file with Registry Editor? Do other registry editors like Registry Workshop have been prevented from acessing parts of the registry? To me this is an important disadvantage of Windows 10 because I need to put 5 to 10 programs on the right-click menu to open a file in different programs depending on the situation.

    Can you connect your disk directly to the motherboard to eliminate the USB adapter? Use a controller driver that supports large disks, and create normal GPT partitions. The limit isn't impacted by the cluster size selected in the file system because it happens on the physical sector level. If you want to change the sector size of your partitions, then you must create new partitions and copy files onto them individually. Do you have some complex licensed software onto these partitions that requires them to be preserved verbatim? Would that software be happy to run/boot from a dodgy USB adapter? You could try to copy the entire source disk starting from sector 0, including its partition table, and don't employ any partitioning tools whatsoever, but that would keep the old aligment of 63 obviously. Then add another partition to the end or extend the last one to fill up the remaining space. When you created "placeholders" for the old partitions, did their size match down to the sector? If you specified their size in megabytes, they might not be the exact same size.

    What is the performance of the Bear Windows driver? Is it similar to Windows XP without any driver and very slow? In the standard deviaton list it days that you can't use resolutions higher than 800*600 on either Intel 7/8 or GeForce 5xxx and newer ones, and even less on Intel 845/915, which significantly limits the driver's usefulness with the most common video adapters. I do remember that ATi had a limited DOS memory on the X550, but GeForce 6200 was still good.

    I don't have that. Is it stable? Last time I read about it people mentioned that it crashed.

    My bank has an old website that works in these Firefox, and it mostly works in Opera 12. Recently they've began offering a "modern" version as an option in parallel. But it doesn't need to be used. However, they required that I update my personal data such as phone number, address, and expected turnover, or I get booted out if I do not do it. Turns out that interface requires Chromium or maybe Quantum. In New Moon and Serpent it showed a white page. Turns out the only changes needed were a country code for the phone number. I'd be royally screwed if I didn't have Windows NT 6 and Opera (Opium).

    Maybe we can draw some conclusions from the collective experience of several members, if more than one reports similar findings.

    People often say that lab-grown meat can be more efficient by not growing parts of the animal that we don't eat like skin and bones. But I don't see how it could become sustainable. The producers still have to replicate most other parts of the real animal: The digestion and waste removal systems and an equivalent for blood vessels that would reach all portions of the growth vessel. The tank must also be kept completely sterile because there is no immune system. An animal takes in raw plant material, often what we would regard as too low greade to eat. But now we must chemically break it down to produce nutrients that the meat cells can accept directly. They must be refined to an extremely high degree, more so than any protein powder, and kept free of microorganisms.

    Yes, once sectors start to be reallocated, the drive will likely fail even if the sectors later seem fixed. Ultra DMA errors can be caused by a bad connection, and can also be generated in software. An old verson of HDAT2 would try to access the disk in DMA mode that didn't work and rapidly generated errors. High Fly Writes seem to be slowly accumulating on my VX000 drive without notable events, currenly at 1104 and the manufacturer's rating of 1%, really bad. The drive works. This parameter is present on VN000 where it is at 50, and VX007 where it remains at 0.

    If I need to produce a single file, I use MkvToolNix, which can accept all common file formats without transcoding. I used this after every download before I switched to a new version of HPC-HC. Loading the 66 MB binary alone already causes a pause. I suspect they have one or two modern codecs in there consuming most space. I'm not a fan of this all in one solution. MkvToolNix also crazy large today and it has zero codecs, but I use an old version.

    For me Youtube-DL that is several months old still works. Occasionally it complains about a signature, but most of the time it is fast. I don't use Ffmpeg with it, because I found I out that MPC-HC can combine the video and audio into one during playback with a bit slower seeking. Why has Ffmpeg grown to be 66 MB? I remember they were proud to share core functions across related codecs and of elegant code.

    Yes, disks is fast now as they should be. I wonder why Microsoft would return to a more conservative caching method after XP, in a server system in particular, which has to be fast and expected to powered on all the time. I don't have an UPS. It cooked last summer. I didn't realize how hot the device gets inside as the battery ages.

    Drinking anything because the government or big corporations told you to is not a good idea. People in America seem to religously follow authorities when it comes to food choices: eat margarine, don't eat margarine, eat eggs, don't eat eggs, throw out your food, be scared botulism... Now Johnny Harris comes back from a Fantastic Odyssey with a revelation and everyone is supposed to rebound and follow him. The race card is also sometimes played when they that asians or africans don't drink milk. It's the choice of these people to have it or not. We've been having dairy products for hundreds of years before these lies had been told. Immitation milks concentrate on recreating the appearance of liquid milk. But the function of milk and cream in food is to mellow sharp, bitter tastes of grain products, roasted beverages, occasionally meat when you add sour cream. I never drink milk straight to wash down my food or to quench thirst on a hot day.

    Unchecking "Enable write caching on the device" didn't change the speed appreciably. I expect the speed to be even slower. Checking "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" sped the disk up dramatically! There is a strong warning under the option. Is there an additional risk of data loss on top of Windows XP, which doesn't have a comparable option?

    The OS doesn't read from the disk excessively during times when I'm using it. The system disk is separate and an SSD and the data disks are separate. The disk cache seems to be less effective. The disks are the same under both operating systems.

    Has anybody noticed that Windows NT 6.1 (2008 R2 x64) has a slower hard disk access compared to Windows 2003 (XP)? I have a dual boot configuration on the same computer and I notice a curious difference. When I open an image in IrfanView for the first time there is a short pause. But there is an even bigger pause when updating tags of FLAC files in Foobar2000. FLAC files contain a reserved space and only one or two disk clusters need to be written to update a tag. But if I queue an update to a hundred files, it takes around 2 seconds. On Windows 2003 the operation completes almost instantly. The difference reminds me when back in DOS SmartDrv wasn't loaded. Not as dramatic, but significant. Does Windows 2003 (XP) do the disk writes in the background after returning immediately, and Windows 2008 does not do it for some safety reason? The settings in Device Manager are default: Removal policy: Better performance (default) Enable write caching on the device: Yes. Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on this device: No (this is new)

    1024*768. I can't find a different context menu on the corners. The menu on my Serpent looks different. It's plain grey with big Forward, Back, Refresh and Star items. Until recently the "View Background Image" worked. This pulls image that is linked as a fill via CSS. When I want to open in a new tab, I want the image directly. A middle-click on a thumbnail spawns a copy of the current page.

    Do you know what Discogs has done that makes it impossible to right-click on images in New Moon to open them in a new tab or save? https://www.discogs.com/release/2872133-London-Starlight-Orchestra-Once-Upon-A-Time-In-The-West Click on the cover artwork, a slow overlay image browser appears, it's not possible to view them on a small screen in 100%.

    Fakes have a higher chance of being accepted because we are accustomed to seeing pictures and voice reading significantly affected by digital processing. We have pop music that sounds like robots. Speech is often denoised or sped up and sounds similar to a speech synthesizer where pauses are skipped. Pictures on social mediums are usually posted in poor resolution.

    Do you mean Serpent by sp52? There are two configuration setting for moving the disk cache in Serpent. I would still want the rest of my profile to be on disk. browser.cache.disk.parent_directory browser.cache.offline.parent_directory I think 360Chrome accepts a command-line parameter for this. But I don't use 360Chome. --disk-cache-dir

    How can you be certain that the swap file is working if most of your tools show that there is no swap file and it only appears in some unsual situations? The file has to be on the ramdisk. The quickest way of filling memory with normal programs is by creating a large 1.5G image in IrfanView. Do you get a larger commit charge limit in normal task manager? For me a swap file works with Gavotte ramdisk if I use the automatic disk size without a mini image. It appears everywhere it should. But the disk seems slow, and there is a constant activity of copying to and from the swap file when minimizing large games. The memory "whistles" and sometimes I get a pause, which looks like two operations trying to access the ram disk and waiting for each other. If you don't have a Creative Labs sound card, then normal PAE memory in Server 2003 works better.
