That sounds like the problem, then.

Are your root certificates updated? That is all that is required for a normal XP installation. No proxy needed at all.

I suppose you could say I've also had an "OS Migration" lately. In December I went about halfway to using 7, and then a few weeks ago I've switched to Linux (Q4OS Trinity) full time. I think this time it is here to stay. I did or very nearly "mained" Linux (Mint, Cinnamon) in either late 2014 or early 2015 to about 2016, at which point I got more computers, one of which could even run XP which I had always wanted to do. That started the years-long XP "binge", if you will. For the first time since 2015, this year I installed Windows 10 on one of my computers. I think I've "grown up" in my thoughts and opinions about OSes, and I think that OS has matured as well. I definitely couldn't main it, but a few days used it for a school project (needed three MS office applications where the only not completely ancient (office 97) versions I had access to were Office 2022 based). The very first boot of that computer, Windows 10 definitely was dazed and confused with loads of problems, but after a reboot everything seemed to be working. Problem-free working has continued to be the case in the several times I've used that computer since. I don't have too much of a "working use" opinion of 11. I have it in a virtual machine, it runs fine, and that's about all I can really say. The "custom" context menus are the only thing I truly hate so far, and as such they got disabled using the registry editor. None of my real-hardware computers are new enough to run windows 11. I still very much like XP and probably could go back to maining it if i wanted. But I've "been meaning to" switch to Linux permanently since about 2017. I still have XP installed on a LOT of computers and these days it is probably my most-used Windows OS.

Oh yes! That certainly happens sometimes. The "shuffling" here did cause one of the "big three" stations here to become slightly harder to get for me (though yes, i still get it), so that's entirely possible that the ATSC1 could be out of range because it moved to another tower.

ATSC 2 is not in use, at all. I'd be interested to know what market you're in. Because, as someone who's followed ATSC3 from the start I know of zero markets where ATSC1 has been shut off, and cannot find even so much as plans to do so, anywhere. (Except Jamaica, but obviously that's not in the US)

No...I don't think that's right. As a user of two converter boxes I'm getting more channels (via ATSC 1) than ever these days. I do not know of a market where any channels have been cut to ATSC 3 only yet. In fact there is a mandatory 5 year period where they literally cannot make the switch, and i think that timeline might be subject to extension. ATSC 3 is still very much in its infancy and isn't replacing ATSC1 any time soon. Back around when the ATSC 3 network launched in my area, several channels got "moved around" on the RF band to make room. I think even two logical channels even moved. So you definitely need to rescan your channels if you haven't done so yet. It is *possible* that the new RF location for some channels may not be able to be received as well by your antenna, depending on what it is. ATSC 3 is so early on still... it's NOT required to be broadcast, and its still, admittedly a bit shortsightedly, NOT required to be supported by new TVs.

I don't care if DST is present or not, I just want it to stop changing...

If you are like me and aren't picky, you'll have no issue getting free or almost-free working TVs (at least in places like my area, i suppose). I got a big Zenith cabinet TV from the side of the road a couple of years ago (And passed dozens more tube TVs up because I really really didn't need any more tube TVs), and within the last week, two flat screen(!) TVs from the E-waste drop off facility in town. One is either 19" or 20", can't remember, and the other is 32". Both work perfectly. There was also considerably larger TVs there as well that I did not investigate. Additionally, most thrift stores in my area always have a stock of medium to HUGE flat screens for $15-50. You could also check stuff like craigslist or facebook marketplace for free listings. From the e-waste place, I've also gotten other stuff: a pair of powerline adapters, some monitors (including a 24" 1080p), and a computer (needed a cleaning and a new PSU, that was all). YMMV for what you can obtain from E-waste centers, some are very strict on what they allow to be taken, some don't allow anything to be. The official word is that the one local to me couldn't care less and is more than happy to see any be diverted. It's amazing what people get rid of, and it's sad because of all that does get wasted. Even if it's getting properly recycled, it still feels like a waste if it is still a working item.

They do have a point, though. People tend to forget that outside of a small percentage, nobody cares what their Windooz is like, as long as it runs what they want to run.

That's how it goes. If it's not on the list, that's a whole class of operating system they don't need to support. They can just say "i told you so". I don't think its so much a bad thing, because these days there isn't much on the OS side that can even go wrong with a flash drive. If the chip were to die, I would be surprised if the question of "what operating system" would ever really come up, but even if it did, formatting or other disk management techniques haven't changed since about 2000, so it would inconsequential to lie. It certainly isn't a "good" thing either though, but only expected as technology marches forward. But you could think of it this way: If they say it supports "Windows 7" or any other old one, they kinda have to keep people trained in the specific details of 7, and also keep machines running 7 around, just to be sure. Because in the infinitely small chance something like a flash drive were to NOT work on an OS listed as supported, it would be a mess. Another consideration, one that I do not know if is relevant to your specific case: software. Some of my flash drives have came with software packages for various things like backup, encryption, cloud service clients, etc. That would be a more significant amount of testing for sure. However, why they would drop 7 and keep 8 despite its very low market share? That I do not have an answer for.

From what i've seen, it always reset as soon as it hit $183, with no care to the passing of time. I could be wrong, but I think it went something like that

http://i430vx.net/files/98/updates/AP2007.EXE http://i430vx.net/files/98/updates/AP2008UP.EXE Edit: it seems for the moment the server is offline, probably due to bad weather in my area. It should return soon though! Edit 2: Links should work again for the forseeable future.

I know a couple of people with Google accounts whose "less secure access" was already functionally deceased since about 2020, and the only solution I ever found was to enable 2FA on those accounts, which allowed it to work (with app passwords of course). I myself have been happily using 2FA on my Google account for years, and very much like the app passwords feature.

WUMT is not a neccesary component. It is simply provided as a more convenient method of troubleshooting. If you configure the automatic updates setting (to anything other than "don't check") in control panel, you will get update notifications in your system tray/shutdown menu. I in fact recommend that one does not use wumt for normal usage, as it can be confusing for some and does not accomplish anything that the usual tray icon does not.

I do not know of any Presario 1200 laptops that were even existing in the Windows XP era, let alone designed for it or preinstalled with it. I have 2 Presario 1200XLs, and Windows ME indeed does not run very well on them, probably due to some driver instability. They should also run Windows 98 and 2000 acceptably. They aren't exactly going to be very great as XP machines, with no more than 320MB of RAM and usually a Pentium-III based Celeron. But, they should run any normal aspect of XP: there is no reason IE8 wouldn't work and I doubt it will be any slower for the very few sites that they are both capable of rendering.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean about lets encrypt certified sites being broken or the certs being from 2016, the cert updater on my site automatically fetches the latest ones. My own site uses a lets encrypt certificate and is properly validated in IE8 on XP, after using the updater. In case there is some confusion, i mean this one HERE: http://i430vx.net/files/misc/Cert_Updater_v1.6.exe Edit: (my two cents about the first post) If one wants to manually update the certs, i would run the cert updater with wireshark or tcpdump and just look at where it is downloading from... those are what you need. Edit 2: A lot easier is just to view its files. It extracts to %tmp%\certupd.tmp\ There, among other things, you will find the batch file.

PS/2 "hotplug" generally depends on the BIOS, or perhaps an even lower level thing than that. Most computers did not support that, and most still dont. The OS cannot change that. while serial and parallel usually can be plugged/unplugged from a "hot" system, The "certain devices" are probably more referring to PCMCIA cards (PC Cards) and docking stations.

Read the video description. WIndows Vista SP2 section. It is text.

I mean - why is it any more stupid then any other OS they've dropped support for? XP wasn't supported for much further past its EOS... And, at this point, most hardware already has stopped support for 7, usually long ago thanks to microsofts meddling in 2017/18. Vista was more or less lumped into XPs EOS for nvdia as it had not much market share. Windows 8 is the vista here. I see nothing going on with this that doesn't make sense.

But... Firefox 59 esr does not exist. So he wont get very far.

Climate change is a natural process but all current science points to the current trend of very, very very fast changes being directly tied to the very very very fast and large increase of carbon (and to an extent, methane) emissions. Studies show, that no, this warming would not have happened without help. The earth is capable of warming and cooling on its own, yes. But not this fast. We have already made irreversible changes because of this (greenland, antartica, etc) but it is still mostly capable of being stopped. Just stopping emissions does not do it. The carbon also needs to be removed from the atmosphere. But if we can put it there, it is possible. Expensive? Probably. Neccesary? Yes. More expensive to do nothing? Very, VERY much yes. The earth was naturally on its way to cooling again relatively soon, but now that the carbon system has been disrupted there is absolutely not a way that can happen naturally for a very very long time, short of some unprecented solar event that somehow reduces the power of the sun, or pushes the earths orbit further. And, by the way, we do have approximate records going back a long time thanks to ice core and rock sampling, among other methods. There are reasons virtually every scientist thinks climate change is pretty much squarely our own fault.

Well, you mentioned kernelex. so I figured that was acceptable. But yes, I don't beleive i know of such a program for vanilla 9x. Also worth mentioning besides monitor settings is that some display drivers may support mangling the color temperature.

Indeed it does. Try the latest version of flux 3 (you can find it on their site)... that version probably works. If not I can help find a working one. Also you may be able to just get away with making a color profile on your monitor, if it supports it.
