  1. I'm also looking forward to supernium. Not sure how well it will run on my machines but will try regardless.
  2. OMG ... that was sooooooooooo cute [HD] Lyonya Shilovsky - 3 Years Old Russian Drummer Leads Orchestra of Adult Musicians
  3. Haha ... WOW ... that makes my heart skip beats. Good running music NHTPG
  4. Well I don't usually do this copy/paste things from the net - but I figured I'd post this from betanews this groggy morning whilst drinking a green tea. Surely; but please don't call me Shirley ...I swear, if I read any more articles like this I'm gonna go bonkers ... wait .... I'm already bonkers (Oh ... don't be so shocked ) Thoughts? https://betanews.com/2023/12/21/windows-10-240-million-pcs-e-waste/ Experts say the end of Windows 10 support could turn 240 million PCs into e-waste The upcoming end of Windows 10 support may lead to hundreds of millions of devices becoming obsolete, potentially contributing significantly to electronic waste. The industry predicts that the end of Windows 10 support in 2024 will affect customers' refresh plans, with one in three devices expected to be replaced in the next two years. Despite the growing capabilities of partners to refurbish and resell PCs, devices not supported by Windows 11 will not be viable for reuse, exacerbating the industry's e-waste problem. SEE ALSO: Win10Privacy 5.0 gives you complete control over your privacy in Windows 10 and Windows 11 Market research firm Canalys predicts an 8 percent growth in the PC market by 2024, spurred by customers upgrading their pandemic-era PCs and the emergence of new AI-capable devices. However, the hardware requirements of Windows 11 may prevent many in-use devices from being refurbished for a second life. Canalys estimates that around 240 million PCs will become e-waste when Windows 10 support ends in October 2025. Most of these devices, if in good condition, could be recycled, but their incompatibility with Windows 11 significantly reduces their value for refurbishment and resale. While these PCs could still be usable for years, demand for devices no longer supported by Microsoft will be minimal, even among companies with tight IT budgets. Moreover, donating these devices to disadvantaged communities is not a viable or socially sustainable solution to bridging the digital divide. In response to these concerns, Microsoft has announced that Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 will be available until October 2028, albeit for an unspecified annual fee. However, the cost of these updates may deter many users, pushing them to migrate to newer, Windows 11-capable PCs. The e-waste implications of the end of Windows 10 support highlight the responsibility of device and operating system vendors to maximize the lifespan of their products. To support a circular economy, vendors must ensure their devices are durable, repairable, and recyclable, and remain usable and secure for as long as possible. However, without regulations to drive this change in the PC market, cross-industry collaboration may be the only solution to the technology sector's persistent e-waste problem.
  5. Guilty as charged But I also use Linux, too on this old broken down machine.
  6. ^^^Happy New year....
  7. Don't mind at all Thank you, I don't mind but the posting you were referring to was when I was on different medicine and now that changed. They change and I'm now on a lot (over-medicated) and hope to come off of some of it to tell you the truth. Good to hear you don't have depression but I also have Agoraphobia and GAD ... medication doesn't help too much and we learn to live with it and take the good with the (mostly) bad and accept that there is noting wrong with being indoors, so long as its not debilitating; and that is where we run into trouble when we FEAR leaving the house. I've come a long way using radical acceptance and I now don't see it as I'm trapped as I love being inside with my plant, but I do get it and try to get out for even short spots and take it slow. How are you doing now with the Agoraphobia, Rob? That's great to hear, bud, I hope they continue to help you will and you will (you will) learn to cope in healthy ways going forward with this awful disorder. Been to hell and back with that, as well, and I drank 10 years away and yes, complete disaster too. I was originally going to abandon this thread because a member felt threatened in here but I decided to return to it for you - I'll be here (should be) so if you should need any advice (you already know what you're doing) feel free to hit me up and I'll do my best. Kind Regards
  8. I might get back to you on that to which you mentioned above when I'm better able ...but for now, congratulations on being 12 years sober, Rob (I'm also a teetotal now myself after YEARS of both drug and alcohol - Now only what the doctor prescribes me; only) Thank you for your well wishes and kind words - they mean a lot to me. Sincerely, Sal
  9. Could/would someone kindly point me in the direction to those 2 (I think I recall) files needed to play youtube in NM27 and/or Arctic Fox. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Sal
  10. Thanks again @dmiranda and don't feel compelled to reply on New Years Eve - I know you're busy - whenever you get around to it is just fine All good with FontAwesome 4.7 and I DID run through your user.js and did decide for other sites to take your advice and set to true. So I'm allowing downloadable fonts, then, user_pref("gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled", false); // set *-* -change back to true user_pref("gfx.downloadable_fonts.woff2.enabled", false); // set *-* -change back to true <OT> I did a little worse surprisingly on that test given to use by the great @Sampei.Nihira (we appreciate you here my good man) and as you can see, that test site thinks I only visited the site 1 time with NM28 when of course that would be 3 times including Mypal68 as I'm now posting from NM28 and that is what the picture depicts. <OT> PS: Same IP
  11. One more day left to 2023. Any thoughts? Anybody at all with anything at all.
  12. Likewise here and I wish all a safe and happy new years eve. Looking forward to the peace and going to bed early.
  13. Hehe ... not the first time and (definitely) won't be the last time I mix something up ... Was groggy when I typed that.
  14. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/dec/30/
  15. Well ... keep up the good work and we appreciate you @roytam1 and good thing you're tireless and relentless as I started (again) using your MN28 occasionally.
  16. I've learned to set the bar low regarding people, and you're spot on with that statement, I've discovered that people like to play "mind games".
  17. So I added this to my user.js and its makes things pretty ugly so I'll revert back to my previous setup ... but thank you for your attention @dmiranda ... hehe good thing I know where they buttons are and my memory serves me well as I needed to edit.
  18. Would seem so, but then again, how does Roy afford to keep things going?
  19. I've also noticed this happening lately.
  20. With my (current) setup I get: But I don't really know what that all means I presume green would be preferred.
