UCyborg

This functionality was removed years ago in Chromium 33 (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=347016). The path is written as would appear in Linux and similar systems following XDG Base Directory Specification. So change the beginning to translate to Windows equivalent leading to Default folder, default with this browser relatively from 360chrome.exe would be ..\User Data\Default. Probably won't work even if created manually unless Chinese added it back.

LOL, Libre Franklin is not supposed to look like anywhere near like that. This seems to be a bug in how GDI rendering works in 360EE 11 specifically, also effects italic text @Dave-H noticed. At least it works correctly in Russian repack version 13 build 2206. This is the best that I can get with Edge with my favorite Enhance text contrast flag (currently on Win8.1, which renders as good as Win10). Slightly worse (blurier) than Firefox. A step worse is removing that flag, GDIChromium looks the same as the latter as far as web sites go, just browser UI fonts look different (so much for GDI being so much better than DirectWrite!), the final step down seems to be 360EE 11 with GDI.

@Dave-H Either way, don't expect greatness when it comes to font rendering in Chromium browsers. It's just poor, at least on Windows. And certainly don't expect miracles from the backported browser with the only quality standard being "It compiles and kinda runs on Windows XP".

Yes, though JPEG doesn't necessarily have to look that bad if you modify the settings used to save the image, assuming your program doesn't have them hardcoded. https://undsgn.com/jpg-vs-png/ It boils down to different formats being better suited for different use cases. Indeed.

I assume he posted that on XP. DirectWrite is Vista+. His screenshots are 75% quality JPEG with 2x2 subsampling enabled though. I never use JPEG for screenshots (mostly). JPEGs are for photos. Period.

It seems Windows XP periodically reads raw RTC clock every hour without applying timezone adjustment, which it should if RealTimeIsUniversal is enabled. Same happens after resuming from standby / hibernation. The clock is correctly displayed only for 1 hour after boot, assuming PC doesn't go to standby / hibernation. I suppose no real fix exists for this problem if using UTC specifically is desired, which does strike me as more sensical. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/mswish/ut-rtc.html https://oofhours.com/2020/10/07/windows-10-and-a-pcs-real-time-clock/ There's no problem with RealTimeIsUniversal setting on recent builds of Windows 10 (1809 at least) as far as I can tell. It was supposed to be corrected by Windows Vista SP2, though some sources indicate RealTimeIsUniversal value type had to be set to QWORD on 64-bit Windows builds rather than DWORD. It can vary between distros with same desktop environment, eg. Manjaro with KDE5 has it, but KUbuntu doesn't. This exists on most common distros, at least those that use systemd. Some think systemd is an abomination and choose to use a systemdless distro, so there the procedure must be different. It'd be nice if we could get old Windows to work with UTC properly somehow, though I imagine it would take some binary hacking.

Your system certificate store is fubared. Don't ask me how to fix it though 'cause I've no idea. The site is identifying with certificate made for domains *.go-vip.co, go-vip.co. Think of it as a scumbag in real-life showing you fake ID.

Great strides have been in recent years in that area. Few years back when DXVK was brand new, I could run one of my favorite Win9x era games - Drakan: Order of the Flame on Linux through WINE with almost the same performance as on Windows, only few frames off, but that's to be expected with 2 chained wrappers, dgVoodoo2 was translating DirectDraw/Direct3D 6 to Direct3D 11 and DXVK was translating Direct3D 11 to Vulkan. Note that on Windows with graphics hardware having good Direct3D 11.1 support, using dgVoodoo2 alone often speeds up rendering compared to using native old Direct3D libraries. Performance is quite a big deal if you're also pushing old games beyond their limits, like increasing drawing distance since they may not be as good at it so a boost in other areas help and you can't really influence much how well engine renders a lots of things unless you're very smart with a lot of time on your hands and manage to re-implement its engine that can do it better than the old one. Before that, with WINE default Direct3D to OpenGL library, performance was always poor. New development obviously requires recent enough GPU with Vulkan support. That was an example of old game being improved, you can also find videos of people running graphically rich games with decent performance such as GTA V. WineHQ might be misleading for some titles as it happens that people who contribute don't note all details or don't have the knowledge of certain technicalities, I remember Call of Duty 1, which is supposed to run great, being an old OpenGL game, had a weird problem that mouse started lagging badly when there were slight frame fluctuations and people discussing the problem were talking about DirectInput, even though the game doesn't use it. DOS is a special case since things were done radically different back then so I'd say any software that allows those programs/games to run on different platforms is a gift, eg. you just can't have SoundBlaster 16 on majority of hardware platforms in use today any other way than to emulate it in software. Steam itself seemed OK to me when I tried it few years back. Proton wasn't a thing back then, today you can apparently install even Windows games through Linux Steam client besides native Linux ones, that's new to me. I have the impression that old graphics hardware doesn't play well with compositors, which is required for Wayland. You also need a sort of X Server under Wayland for old stuff and applications that aren't ready for Wayland yet (they call it XWayland). Found a quite lengthy discussion on the Wayland. Tweaker is likely to end up eventually using terminal, even if just for a few small things.

Judging by autoscrolling smoothness, my slower screen at 59 Hz still seems to be slowing down the faster one at 75 Hz. If only faster one is enabled, it's OK. That's on Win10 20H2. AFAIK, the mentioned DWM updated landed in 20H1.

I can only say my Basilisk also has network.dns.disablePrefetch user set to true and network.prefetch-next user set to false without me changing them explicitly. Prefs with "worker" in the name are all at default here. "Proper" might be subjective depending on how you want particular parts of the browser to behave or if certain by-default disabled functionalities work as they should. Some sites might make good uses of service workers, though I suppose judging by recent experiences they don't work as they should, at least compared to mainstream browsers.

This requires new enough GPU I presume supporting GPU scheduling or whatever? There's no difference on newer Win10 when having 59 Hz screen and 75 Hz screen on my end, running the second screen at 75 Hz rather than 60 Hz is still weird, so I keep it at 60 Hz, closest to the other screen that doesn't go any higher.

They're all at default. Let me know if any relevant pref is missing from those screens. It's something to do with my config or addons. Need to investigate when the time permits. Edit: found the culprit, a left-over from the time when I had dom.serviceworkers.enabled. There was serviceworker.txt file with the following content in the profile folder: 4 https://msfn.org/board/ https://msfn.org/board/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=serviceworker&v=2a962fc5181638719336&type=front {dbf85245-ef53-4136-ba23-fca6bf5b581b} # Deleted it and now navigation on MSFN works correctly.

It's really weird that yewtu.be acts like that. The site with instances says it currently has a version from 2022, but it's been acting like that with older versions as well. But those versions act OK on the other instances. It's supposed to be the same software after all. I've tried that video on yewtu.be on current versions of Firefox and Vivaldi and it works fine there out-of-the-box as well.

There's a thread somewhere on this forum about how many computers people got - https://msfn.org/board/topic/182536-how-many-computers-do-you-own/ - cannot relate, most that posted have shitload of computers. I'd go nuts with that many computers, the only reason I own a laptop besides a desktop is because I needed a portable computer for total 3 months of my life. It's part of the power management, CPU multiplier may be dynamically adjusted depending on workload. I'd be a bit lost without it since it does speed up some things in life and with jobs taking most of our time, every minute is welcome. I also use it to pay for fuel, almost the only thing I have to get out for which I'd need an official negative COVID test otherwise or look for another gas station. Also comes in handy if you only need to lookup something really quick on the internet, for which alone at least to me seems kinda pointless to turn the computer on.

Huh, what planet do you live on?

This week flew by way too fast, I'll miss being able to get some proper sleep and not having to stare at computer 8 hours a day. Regarding the virus, of course it'll spread, people are never staying put... I live in a stupid tourist town, lots of traffic, full parking spaces, a bunch of people waiting in front of COVID testing container. Horrible. There was one nice time here, the lockdown in 2020 when this mess started, the place was a ghost town, peaceful and quiet, simply wunderbar. I've been sober my entire life! I deal with people for the living, fortunately only remotely. I'm naturally more on the asocial side, though I've slipped a bit further in that direction since I started working. I guess that's not too uncommon due to different mechanics.

Invidious has options to download a video. Can't help with Invidious quirks...try pasting it manually... List of Invidious instances

Invidious isn't all that great IMO. Also yewtu.be instance is particularly glitchy (bugs with playback interruptions, download interruptions), try https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=YGqCGD4uqVE.

They're all at default. Let me know if any relevant pref is missing from those screens. This is rather new issue to me since I had browser.privatebrowsing.autostart pref enabled for the longest time. I used to have dom.serviceworkers.enabled turned on just in case, turned it off in recent times, but re-enabling this one doesn't help neither. The console indicates the error supposedly comes from index.php.

Does New Moon also have a problem with navigating this forum and the following error in the console when trying to go back/forward? Failed to load ‘https://msfn.org/board/’. A ServiceWorker passed a promise to FetchEvent.respondWith() that rejected with ‘TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.’. It always happens after logging in or restoring the session if MSFN was opened regardless of being logged in or not. It never happens in private windows.

Yeah, also painful when you need to pull the status bar which you easily do with a thumb on a smaller one. Do you only work in the office? Would make sense if they provided you a normal phone in this case. At least where I work we still have normal stationary phones. Terrain folks use smartphones. I agree specialized equipment is always better, now these phones try to be a swiss knife for everything. I only use camera once in a blue moon, it almost slipped out of my active memory that I even have a dedicated one over years, from the times when my family wasn't home ALL the time. Yes, and go hunt Pokémons with it!

Anyone read about some people proposing invermectine for treating the infection and how they were silenced? Either way, regardless of whether it works for this case, I think generally finding correct information is the art and the regular mortal is quite helpless in the matter. So you're not too smart yourself and supposedly educated people have biases as well, so what will you do? I tend to think the truth often hides somewhere in-between.

SMS auth also seems to be the bare minimum you'll be required to use any online bank here these days. One maybe still offers the special terminal thingy for the job if they haven't cancelled it already since everyone have smartphones. And it seems everyone have RECENT smartphones. Any time you see someone with a smartphone it's always a big brick with multiple cameras. What happened to the likes of Samsung Galaxy Mini?

@Dixel Changing countries? I don't think that's viable for me. I'd rather just drop dead if things go too dystopian. Definitely don't wanna live just to survive, though circumstances may lead one to such path. @D.Draker BTW, Christmas decorations came a bit late here, so there was that. It's been years since this time of the year felt magical to me, guess I'm too old. About the world, something caught my attention in the news in recent times. Some people make accusations towards medical students that they're just in for the money and not to help people or something along those lines. So the student that was in front of camera that made that statement was obviously a bit upset about haring such things despite students working hard at it, specifically helping with COVID patients these days. OK, so I won't deny that they work hard, but really, at the end of the day, who isn't in for the money? All this pretending, sheesh. I wonder what the world would like with significantly less optimism bias.

Mine appears simpler, has a bit of JavaScript, they don't use it to render the whole site and still works with Pale Moon. Seems usable with CPU downclocked to 800 MHz (the lowest it can go) and affinity for the web browser set to one core, it adds extra delay for things to load, 4 seconds at least. But you need an authenticator app to get in that works either on Android 6+ or Windows 10+, so older Windows versions alone are out. Wasn't very long ago when you could do everything digital with that bank on Windows XP.
