One good thing that you may like is when MSFN goes down, we usually post status updates there too, so it helps both ways

I have re-enabled the Task Scheduler for Windows Defender once again. I do wonder just how long ago it started working again.
-
Seems so ... for now. I'll be keeping you posted
-
Well over a year and a bit later, Windows Defender has started "updating" again. The update button in Windows Defender actually works again! Go figure ???

Now interestingly, Windows Defender has started "updating again. For the last year or so, I've been downloading and manually running definition updates. Now the update button in Windows Defender actually works again!

XP/Vista-compatible clients for modern email services?
Jody Thornton replied to Mathwiz's topic in Windows XP
It may not important be to anyone else - but Interlink WAS a native x64 application, so I can't see why no one else would want ported applications to be natively 64-bit (especially for XP x64). Anyway, I run Windows 8. I just wanted a 64-bit replacement at the time for Interlink. Doesn't matter to me what @NotHereToPlayGames thinks (he always seems to have an angry disposition for some reason). Anyway, I went elsewhere and got what I wanted. So the topic is done; after all it only came up again when Mark-XP asked why I switched to Epyrus. -

It appears that the account services from Outlook.com have been blocked by Microsoft from older mail clients that do not have Oauth2 authentication. Today, Epyrus will NOT receive mail from my Outlook account. -
My Browser Builds (Part 5)
Jody Thornton replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
I saw it - I guess I thought it would be more front an centre since it's the more "modern" New Moon build. All good! -
My Browser Builds (Part 5)
Jody Thornton replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Just out of morbid curiosity. Why aren't New Moon 28x builds listed here anymore. I see on the https://o.rthost.win site that they're still built. -

Jody Thornton replied to Mathwiz's topic in Windows XP
Oh, I wanted an x64 build and Roytam1 wouldn't compile one (even though Interlink was an x64 application). Epyrus was, and I nearly mimicked the look of Interlink. -

Jody Thornton replied to Mathwiz's topic in Windows XP
I was using Roytam1's MailNews, and switched over to Epyrus recently. I'm in the same spot as you are @BAW30s with an Outlook account, so I am intrigued to see what comes about. I am considering forwarding all of my Outlook mail to one of my other providers. -
Could the Next Firefox ESR Version Be Supported on Windows 7/8x ?

Outstanding! Thank you so much! -

Thanks Dixel. It does work in Supermium so at least I'm covered on the Vista notebook. -

Could the Next Firefox ESR Version Be Supported on Windows 7/8x ?
Jody Thornton replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows 8
I'm divided on how I feel about that. I like the idea of extending a browser that still works the way I like, however some sites I use for health benefits through work do not work on ESR 115, even when spoofing a user agent. Well, I guess we'll see. -
OK so let's can the "it's my gut feeling" nonsense. It's DEFINITELY faster. I wasn't qualifying it technically in any way at all. I'm just saying that compared to the v122x release version on a notebook with a measly 2 GB of RAM and a Centrino Duo CPU, the pre-release made major gains in rendering, loading the application, and responsiveness. I'll tell ya, I remember taking all sorts of flack back in the day about dissing those sticking with XP, and standing up to all the anti-FUD crowd. The only reason I mention this is that here on MSFN, everyone now just seems so angry, contentious, disagreeable (different from disagreeing by the way) and just plain bitter, and I just get nicer and more easy going. I've become more "live and let live". Just accept what I said at face value, and move the heck along. Who cares about whether I credited win32 or not, or who cares if I tested with my gut or facts. It's Faster! We're done here. Sheesh! Everybody just relax. Of course, I just know I'll be the one made to appear "out of line" here. Sigh!

I'm running Supermium on Vista Home Basic, as aforementioned. I moved to the v124x Pre-Release. Holy Smokes! The speed increase of loading the browser and rendering is phenomenal. I'm really enjoying it on this old Inspiron 1420 Notebook. Yes I wish I had something more with the UI of one of @Notheretoplaygames 360-ish builds, so I could place tabs under the address bar. But that's really small potatoes. I tip my hat to @win32 for a job well done. Supermium performs outstandingly, especially on this pre-release build.

Hey Folks! Is the a way to have square tabs (like Edge did when they first went Chromium)? I saw a way to do it, but there are weird gaps between the tabs. No hurry at all. Using Supermium on an old Vista Basic Dell Notebook that I keep at my girlfriend's. It's quite nice.

My Browser Builds (Part 5)
Jody Thornton replied to roytam1's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Meh! Some have thanked me for exposing it. That's fine though. I'll leave it be. I think many people feel that once Tobin left, all the toxicity was gone from the Moonie Forum. However people like moonbat are the most toxic, and Moonchild is very disingenuous. I take pride in point stuff like that out. But again, I'll refrain from posting this stuff any more. -

Wow! The Pale Moon team has to be so nasty (especially Moonbat) towards New Moon users. https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=31168 -

Unfortunately, Tobin abandoned the Interlink project. To be honest, I can't make heads or tails of what he's doing with BinOC. -

Jody Thornton replied to Mathwiz's topic in Windows XP
Just to revisit DreamMial Pro. Is it still available? And is it free? There seem to be a lot of shadier looking download sites for it, but I'm weary of those. The previous link for the latest version seems to error out on me.
