Have you tried adding DWORD ShowSecondsInSystemClock set to 1 in Windows registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced? Details

You're right, it does look horrible, I wanted to say it's miserable if you encounter such sites on regular basis...

Just window shopping, found out about another Chinese brand, Ulefone, Ulefone Armor X6 Pro looks interesting, not too big and IP68 rating. https://www.mobileshop.eu/, where Europeans can buy phones, also sells this brand, but not this particular model.

What am I missing? The site is readable in all my browsers, though layout is wrong on Pale Moon and there's a regex error in the console (invalid regexp group). Maybe it's a geo restriction? Wow, your browsing experience sounds miserable if you need dev tools on regular basis.

Here too, Windows take care of it natively. I wrote about my recipe in the other thread regarding the page file. You might save a bit of space if you size it right and prevent fragmentation that may be caused by auto-resizing. You might want to check after setting fixed size if it's still fragmented. Still, if I'm not mistaken, applications can still crash on low memory even with decently sized page file due to virtual address space fragmentation, at least 32-bit ones only have 2-3 GB to play with.

Some of us aren't that open and tormented by our own anxieties or having mental blocks. I did give a bit of €€€ on few occasions to those in-need on the street, so there's that. Can relate. Met very few people in my life and if that isn't challenging as it is and meeting the right ones, then there's also keeping them around. I need a lot of time on my own, then the work life came and then the COVID, so with the latter ended up from meeting one or two times a year to 0 times. They say it's much more difficult to meet people when you're out of school. My mother keeps in touch with her aunt, who is 101 years old, she lost all the hearing in recent months, but her mind remained sharp well into her 100's. They were discussing that me and my brother would need to be in some shared interest group. I wonder how some other people manage to fit these things into their schedules. I come home from work and the rest is mandatory. Weekends fly-by as if it's nothing.

My recipe is taking a look at page file peek usage after having ran one or multiple programs that consume a lot of memory, just think about what your most memory intensive workload looks like, then taking that value and rounding it up to the next gigabyte or half-gigabyte to get the appropriate fixed size to set. Process Hacker may be used to read the value (Tools->Pagefiles). Also a method for those that like to have fun with PowerShell.

4 GB kit (2x2 GB), the brand is Mushkin. It's fine as long as I pay attention to hungry web browsers. Can't believe when I still played games that I could play some with 6 GB in the requirements.

Aye, that's always the possibility.

AM2+. My only occasional issue is running out of RAM, so haven't really considered actually replacing anything else, it just crossed my mind if the whole thing was newer, I could find some RAM in a local shop. Just few months back, I found DDR2 RAM someplace else, but can't find it again. Seein' how my RAM shopping's been going, I'll probably leave everything as it is in the end until some critical component dies...

His trouble began when you advised to clean up Chrome folder to stop the updates. Sure, but we never saw his chrome://gpu page and that Vulkan as actively used for rendering and causing trouble. He also claimed he didn't notice any difference with or without --disable-gpu, which implies no GPU acceleration of any kind, so no Vulkan neither. Though the difference is very obvious on the systems where GPU acceleration works properly as far as I'm concerned, especially if you watch videos in the browser, run WebGL stuff etc.

Hi everyone, stopping by for a bit. Just another day at the office. Customers are crazy I've been thinking about purchasing extra RAM again, have to look for DDR2, otherwise would have to go into replacing the motherboard and the CPU as well. Never end up purchasing due to poor general availability of it. Was more determined back in the old days with the old computer that had DDR1 and DDR2 was current. Oh but then it was easier, found it at the nearby physical shop, was a bit pricier than DDR2 though. Getting by with 256 MB then was more difficult than with 4 GB now. 8 GB would be nice, but can't decide if I should. Some Hungarian online shop (eXtreme Digital) sells 4 GB kit for 28€, brand CSX (German). Then there's a chance the motherboard doesn't like and the question of whether should I be investing in a 13 years old computer in the first place. So I keep going in circles. If I haven't upgraded in 13 years, why now? ^This! Have to turn it off sometimes to calibrate and recompose because toxicity is poison. Today in fact, I don't' intend to speak to anybody at all if I don't' have to. People went ape-s*** last night and I'm not sure why over here, but I was in bed. People were yelling in the hall for some reason and I don't even care to know. Need to take care of myself, I don't know. Oh man, horrible people are at just about every step, can't avoid them unless you live in the woods or something. Has anyone read about this guy? The Strange & Curious Tale of the Last True Hermit Definitely not for me and many other people, but the freedom from toxicity! Which brings me to... Holy..., they dare to predict that far into the future? I kinda thought smartphones are just fashion accessory of this time and it'll pass. Aren't we degenerates enough as it is...all the toxic behavior, greed, corruption... Skimping through the posts gave me the idea to post... Klemen Slakonja as Pope Francis - Modern Pope (#SpreadLove) This is Funny Farm after all.

The flag is just an override, I'm talking about the effective state with the flag at Default and the Vulkan status on chrome://gpu page. I don't know, searching around, Vulkan backend seems to be of most interest to Chrome users on Linux at this time. Isn't this exactly what I've been saying for years ? Just in different words. I don't remember it in the context of Chrome's Vukan renderer backend, which is more or less experimental in practice. I wouldn't say Vulkan in general as a low-level graphics API is bad, but to each their own.

Tried stock Chrome version 107 on work laptop running Win10 1809 and Vulkan is disabled by default. I don't expect them to enable it by default on stable channel unless they manage to polish it and put reliable fallbacks in place for older graphics cards / GPU driver combinations. That was on Linux...don't know how broken Chrome's Vulkan backend is these days on different platforms, though it wouldn't surprise me if it's currently still more broken on Linux compared to Windows. Certainly it doesn't work as expected on Windows. One thing I learned about Linux systems (the ones that can be put on regular desktop computers) and the software running on it is to not expect greatness when it comes to anything using a GPU. IMHO, Linux is to be put on a server in the basement then forget about it, not something to be used on the desktop regularly. Though that's just me, I know it works fine as a desktop system for some people.

I just assumed an interest in Mozilla solution since it was posted in this thread. Sure, userscripts can be useful and work in different browsers, but native solution should be more direct under the hood. Chrome had backspace bound to navigation-back action in the past, but that was many versions ago and the official solution for those that want it back is Go Back With Backspace. Guess Chinese re-hardcoded backspace navigation-back while Edge users may actually have a settable flag in edge://flags, depending on the version.

@dmiranda Why not just set browser.backspace_action in about:config according to your preference rather than mess with user scripts?

Mozilla got more insistent with updates with time with their Firefox, you have to apply a group policy setting to be sure it won't update. Or never visit the about dialog, though I can't say if this alone works. Last time I checked Vivaldi, it didn't include the Chrome-like updater, but had its own mechanism. You could update it or not, your choice. I managed to keep Edge on version 94, but it's only easier on Win10 as certain extra registry keys may be respected that force it to follow group policy setting, which it normally does not. Can open the about page in settings and it'll say the browser is managed by your organization rather than update. So far, updated Pale Moon has managed to cover most of my needs, keeping fingers crossed it stays that way into the future. But in any case, never updating a web browser hasn't proved a viable long-term strategy so far. The oldest browser engine I personally use is the one from Chrome 87 on my smartphone. I'd still be on version 79 if it wasn't for optional-chaining and nullish-coalescing operators.

Mine has a button to turn it off, though it defaults back to on each time the ignition is turned on. I've seen on a video on YouTube that eg. older Audis can be recoded to remember the state. Though for newer cars of the last 2 years or so that are manufactured under one of the VAG brands, the surest thing seems to be a small memory module plugged into the wiring below the button. I don't know, not sure if official personnel around these parts would be willing to do any mods in that direction. Obviously, memorizing the setting would be the best, though default off and keeping the ability to turn it on would also be fine.

None that I'm aware of and according to this, the only way to have dynamic imports working is having it implemented in the browser's JS engine.

No XP at hand to check for certain, but at least on newer OS, that service runs inside svchost.exe instance hosting a handful of other critical services, the process itself is marked as critical, meaning its termination causes BSOD.

Thanks, and good to see you back! I'm trying to focus on the positive, though it isn't always easy. We have an extended weekend, the following week starts with 2 holidays. The second one is rather bleak though, the day of memory of the dead.

Oh, didn't know Silverlight can still be used and your post only mentioned modern Chromium / Firefox, which only support it via Widevine AFAIK. The Silverlight problem sounds like something that would have to be debugged by @win32.

It needs support for dynamic module importing and doesn't seem to care about the user agent at first glance. What about MyPal 68 or one of those Chinese Chromium variants?

There are extensions that don't work with multi-process. Mozilla eventually added a dropdown and exception list for that in their browser, Basilisk seems to be stuck in the past though.

The nice thing about the dialog, besides knowing the program just crashed, is the ability to choose whether to launch the debugger (lookup AeDebug) or just close the program. I noticed there's another dialog, presumably OS provided, that pops up if WerFault.exe isn't functional where you can also select whether to attach the debugger.
