  1. Isn't windows NT 4.0 better for such machine :F But seriously, You can find a list of latest possible updates for systems without SSE2 somewhere in this thread, but without SSE and MMX? I don't remember anyone in this board mentioned that, sorry :/
  2. Longer than MorphOS support Amiga, certainly This is a discussion you start when anything regarding XP or FF 52 ESR pops up, so I don't think we should roll out another progress vs tradition debate here. The case is here, that there are still many XP users rolling around the net normally, and according to NetMarket share XP users are still greater piece of cake than Linux desktop :) If we have a way to try to group again once more and try to reach to decision people with our voice, then why not. However, I think such petition will not have great impact. First of all, anyone can sign it and there is no user verification, so it gives no certainty for the receiver about the real power behind it. Secondly, because it's too late - decisions have been taken in Mozilla in high management level, and already implemented. No Firefox for XP plan was done and rollback will be costly on their end. Such petition, if getting enough signatures, could have been impactful before the deadline was published, or slightly after. So, I signed, but I totally doubt the worth of our effort here :)
  3. Well, not that I didn't expect that, I just wished the world is not only greed driven Thanks again for explanation, I got enough
  4. Thanks. Now I understand... and I don't. I mean I get your explanation, but I cannot compile all the back-logic behind this kind of legislation. What about the 1st amendment? But jokes aside, I've read somewhere that one is allowed to publish information, even describing illegal activity in details, as long as it is not convincing anyone to do real harm, and here you cannot inform others how to do things they can legally do o.O There is some major thing, some thinking paradigm I don't get in here. Sometimes i'm happy to live in a country that tries to catch up west and still fails, so I can do whatever I want with my own hardware and software for my personal use.
  5. Probably not. Assuming that I found correct model: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/no/nn/products/desktops-and-all-in-ones/300-series/310s-08iap/90ga/downloads Lenovo never provided drivers for other system than Windows 10. Without drivers, bets that you can get is 'bare' windows XP, which will be totally unusable for daily use :/ I tried to find out which motherboard model/chipset is used, but Lenovo seems to have had hidden this one. So even if I find XP-compatible drivers for other components, I cannot easily get the one needed for this component. Summary: Better stay with Windows 10 on this computer.
  6. Please provide a screenshot of an error message. On Windows 10, if you press Windows button and print screen button simultaneously, it will create a screenshot in your documents\pictures\screenshots folder. They you can edit it the way you want in paint (right click on image file -> edit). Please provide exact computer model. Lenovo has hundreds of models, so without exact model, we cannot say.
  7. from Motherboard via Sekurak tl;dr - maybe soon you will not be breaking EULA, intellectual property and other lawyerese bulldung by breaking embedded DRM or security measurements, if your intent is to simply fix your own device. Feels like a move in the right direction. My personal question is, could it potentially affect the legal status of our POSReady updates installed on regular XP, or sharing installers of the files that are no longer published by their owners, like Windows Live Essentials. Do we have a lawyer here to wake me up from this blissful dream?
  8. Knew all that before. I just vaguely remember another topic with link to this one, Cert_Updater one and a few others regarding POSReady updates... It was once pinned, now I can't see it... and it would be useful now, as plenty of other related topics appear (f.e. oleauth related one).
  9. Yes, it appeared, thanks :) As for calling Ms resident supermegaüberhyper-ultraparanoid - I thought the topic that gathered all links to topics related to post-April 2014 XP updates would be better place, as you linked me to another topic, but can't find it - possibly it got unpinned and lost in a tons of others. Which I don't understand, while topic about Aircraft carries, that's just for fun, is pinned, but anyway... thanks :)
  10. Well, I did, let's see what happens Guess this gets added to some addon like Privacy Badger soon...
  11. From me today, Polish foxtrot from, as far as I could have found, 1929: Can't find the exact recording date though. This song seem to be quite popular in the circles that refer to ya old Warsaw culture, referring to the number of YT recordings that try to keep up with the traditional style. But I personally got to know it via the band that did quite, uh, modern version (psychobilly, for those who are zealous about tagging everything with precise subgenre ;)) https://bombatbelus.bandcamp.com/track/chod-napragie
  12. To sum up: Looking for updates using Microsoft update website i taking less time than taking a p*** now (I experimentally proved that!) Installing updates takes only a few minutes now. Additional update suggested by heinoganda also installed. We, who have Office 2007 and compatibility pack, all got offered update for Microsoft Word Viewer, despite all of this is EOL for a few months... strange, but I do not complain. I used new Cert-updater from Heinoganda, it all went fine and no erros like those reported by Dave-H appeared. All good, but one minor flaw... I should disable TLS 1.0 in internet options for the sake of security, but while I do, M$ update in unavailable... So it's either M$ doing something wrong, or I do not know how to disable TLS 1.0, but not 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 respectively :) Regarding post-EOL updates for Win 7, maybe should be split some posts and move them as new topic to Win 7 board? Mods, are you into that?
  13. And it's not a bug, but a feature, or, by Microsoft's best monopolists standards, shut up and do it OUR way. Or maybe this is a way they're trying to take own competition, hoping sum important e-mails will get swallowed by this monster? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/oemail-ofolders/how-to-turn-off-junk-mail-filter-in-office-365/d9e9bb7d-6a93-492b-840e-839773736e20 If you want, like me, to have a false sense of influence, press "I have the same question" and spread the word! Let them choke with complains! Or maybe you like the way they designed it? Feel invited to discuss
  14. Bu does it mean it works until 10th December or until 12th of October? US middle-endian date style harms my brain :P
  15. It still surprises me how this approach is still widespread. Talking to my tech-interested friends I still hear comments like "Windows XP has to be reinstalled every few months in order to work". No to mention these are habbits they learned on warez-delivered unpatched systems with tons of warez-delivered software and diplomats, politicians, marketing people, salespeople, and...
  16. For the sake of history - KB4074852 broke down copying files in between partitions/disks.
  17. How to reach PATH variable? From https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm Works, I checked. Please, do not change contents of this variable, or you'll break your system
  18. And someone badly lies in the mentioned article: This one: https://support.microsoft.com/pl-pl/help/971286/winusb-version-1-9-update-for-windows-xp-for-windows-vista-and-for-win For comparison, pl-pl version shows last update in 2013
  19. Yep, It took my PC BELOW TWO MINUTES to look for updates, and about 50 minutes to install 'em all with no error on the way. I'm glad it's fixed, I'm sad that just as POSReady updates are about to end. Good what ends well
  20. Which probably, again, may be different depending on the jurisdiction
  21. Or, to be precise, abandonware exist as a word, a colloquial term, with more-or-less agreed upon definition, but up to my knowledge, abandonware does not exist as a legal term. In this case, we are not speaking of 'piracy', which is also broad and colloquial, but copyright infringement.
  22. Please, describe which program settings did you use for the backup and where did you store the backup (another partition, internal/external HDD, cloud). I don't have personal experience with Acronis, but this kind of programs usually have separate 'system backup' mode that does everything automagically, it should use native Windows APIs to backup the files (including the ones in use) and recognize boot partition and system partition.
  23. I'd ask them to call me if they plan to get rid of this IBM thingy...
  24. So, I looked up again, and what I initially thought is applicable in Polish law (and in Most European Union countries, as per EU directive) - 70 years since the publication, if the author is not a person (so, for example, corporations). So we can host Altair Basic on Bahrain Servers? Together with source code, if we obtain it somehow?
  25. Good Lord, I don't wanna think when M$ will set windows 2000 free... I thought that it's actually 70 years, while it's 70 years after the copyright holder's death, right were owned by a person. Thanks for unintentionally correcting my 'bad knowledge' anyway
