    Might be hidden beneath the plastic. I'll take a better look when it runs out. I didn't even bother replacing the one in desktop, only removed it when it ran out, every once in a while when I unplug PC during the bad weather, I just put the clock and rest of the BIOS settings back in order afterwards.

    I haven't visited Reddit in a while, but what I like about the new one is seeing beginning of the text of each post without having to open it. But opening it while using a new layout in current tab is very clunky as when you go back, you don't land where you were due to lack of pagination, so opening in a new tab works better, though using single tab with old layout is more responsive and intuitive. It seems memory usage jumps as soon as more posts load beyond the ones visible initially.

    No issue on Pale Moon (the original, of course) either.

    Memory usage of UXP based browser really explodes on certain websites, eg. new Reddit. The base memory usage of other browsers doesn't increase as much. Difference between 150 - 300 MB and a whooping gigabyte or more is not so negligible. I'm wondering what's a technical explanation for such difference.

    I don't know what to think about the future, all I read/hear about are wars and microplastics everywhere. Not that long ago I watched the documentary, didn't pick on title or just forgot, but it basically said something along the lines that sources of drinking water are being depleted at alarming rate, faster than they can be replenished. And we're just going about our daily lives like automatons. Tomorrow's just another work day. It's all so absurd.

    Windows 11 has severe identity crisis. I don't mind non-tweaked Win10 as much, but Win11 is seriously annoying. The context menus, the crippled taskbar...

    I've not seen any browser on XP able to do it. Probably the last time it worked was with Flash Player. Not sure your card even does H.264, the writeup on Wikipedia suggests model 6600 is the minimum and hints at only partial decoding of H.264, judging by the text about 2nd generation PureVideo HD. Maybe official specs can still be found somewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo

    Try resetting the "disabled" one. I suspect it will disappear. Edit: tried the linked NM build, it definitely should disappear.

    Pale Moon only has layers.acceleration.enabled AFAIK, which is a master switch for webpage compositing to use GPU and is also exposed as a checkbox in browser's settings. I assumed roytam1's version could be different, so I didn't say anything as his releases tend to deviate from upstream in random ways. Mozilla still uses layers.acceleration.disabled, so works the other way around, though newer versions have a bunch of related or not so related (depends on how you look at it) WebRender prefs, the traditional layers acceleration in considered legacy. The *prefer* prefs, these always made automatic selection of D3D9 on XP in UXP browsers in my experience, although I remember when I was messing with Mypal68 last time, you had to explicitly enable the D3D9 one. layers.acceleration.force can be used in addition to layers.acceleration.enabled to try force-enable it for unsupported configurations.

    Does any MSFNer even use Win10+ version? xD

    It might have been mandatory school reading at some point, I really don't remember anymore. Maybe I didn't hate it back then, just found it didn't make much sense. The older me is definitely a bit grumpy and hateful, perhaps I'm projecting it in the past. Maybe that's what certain jobs do to the mind? I'll shut up now since I sadly don't have anything positive to write about Supermium.

    Just watched 100 Awesome Minutes to Help Fix the Planet.

    I don't know about AI in search engines, but AI in general seems like one of those things that will corrupt already too corrupted mankind even further.

    @mockingbird Just a kind gentle nudge, you've @mentioned Fedor instead of feodor2.
  17. UCyborg
    That doesn't really help me. Also, I read one of those books in the past and hated it.

    So what exactly did you do? BTW, my previous computer had more ancient graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440, Direct3D 7 level, I doubt any browser acceleration would work on it. What increased the performance of that computer was overclocking, Celeron could be overclocked by a whooping half gigahertz before serious stability issues were noticed. Similar for graphics card, but I don't remember the numbers, except that they were in megahertz. I just remember putting those sliders in RivaTuner near the red line and it still worked. xD I don't think it was literally red, but the limit was color coded somehow on the slider. Although I'm not sure even that was truly stable, the computer would emit beeps while playing games. Or was that only with 2,6 GHz CPU overclock, I really don't remember anymore, it was over half my life ago.

    Can someone enlighten me on what this thread is about? I have ACPI 2.0 enabled in BIOS and XP x64 runs on this machine, which has old 2008 ASUS M3N78 motherboard. Except if you set XP in a way so the mouse can wake up computer from standby, then fans keep running in "standby" mode.

    I feel like I've come to the point where I've already seen everything that was there to see on Windows XP. So even if this hardware acceleration thingy works, what would be the point? That and I think Chromium and their spawns have no soul and are just produced so people working on them have something to show off to get their paycheck. In any case, none of this really helps in my search for the meaning of life.

    I believe the correct term is "programmers" for the former group. I do wonder if it has to do with prolonged staring at the screen, maybe also using dark mode as substitute for simply adjusting brightness. There are programmers where I work, yeah, a bunch of vampires. xD

    So no future in the world of ChromeZilla?

    I forgot to mention, when I said it still takes 10 seconds for browser to startup for the first time, that was actually on the faster side. It takes over 15 seconds with win32's DLL.
  24. UCyborg
    Possible, who knows where they put it. It's been many since years since the one in my desktop was depleted, I forgot which year it was, but I'm not sure that it lasted 10 years. Just a passing thought: "Hey, the clock is still going in 2024!".

    It's just a DIY temporary fix, easiest way to use it is by using a user style manager like Stylem, which you should be able to download from either https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/stylem/ or https://addons.basilisk-browser.org/addon/stylem/, after installing it and restarting the browser, it will add another section on the page with Add-ons, where you can add a new style, give it a name, paste the code and save it. Add one for Google and another one for PixAI. Extension's commands are also accessible from its toolbar button.
