  1. They ALWAYS do! Not sure what "forum rule" we are up to, but add one - NEVER announce your departure, JUST LEAVE, that way you're not a "liar" when or if you do return. We had somebody publicly announce his departure in the XP antivirus forum, three days later he was still here and still claiming to "leave". Not the first incident, there's been at least half a dozen of these in the last six months or so alone. Public cry for attention?
  2. I haven't had a phone since 2001 !!! No land line !!! No mobile !!! I've been using Google Voice ever since, my "phone" needs are free (okay, I obviously have to have internet access). It's also why I cannot use anything but Chromium Forks. Google Voice used to work in BNav and Mypal - it hasn't for over two or three years and I don't see functionality EVER returning to BNav, Mypal, NM27, NM28, St52, or St55. EVER. Around here, you can't so much as get your hair cut without the salon asking for a phone number. I tell them that my phone number is "zero". They pause and wait for me to ramble off more numbers, I tell them "I don't own a phone, that makes my phone number ZERO." I've had auto parts stores claim they cannot sell me auto parts or accept used oil recycling without a phone number, I ask to speak with the manager to show me that policy IN WRITING. The manager some how miraculously finds a way to get the cash register system to "work" without entering a PHONE NUMBER. If you think telemetry in a web browser is something to be concerned about, just think of all the DATA linked to your PHONE NUMBER, which in turn is linked to YOU. Don't get me wrong, I don't NOT (double negative, lol) own a phone on account of "privacy rights" and that telemetry/data, I just have ZERO use for the d#mn thing to be "tied to my hip" all day. Mobile phones are an ADDICTION, plane and simple. Those of you ADDICTED to your phone, I bet you hear it ringing in your sleep, don't you, lol. Or can't so much as go 10 minutes without reaching for it. People often CONFUSE my reasons for NOT owning a phone. They ASSUME that I cannot afford one - I can. They make all sorts of ASSUMPTIONS - sure, I guess some are sort of correct. But the biggest reason I don't own a phone? Because I find them to be the RUDEST invention ever made! And I guarantee you that you just made an ASSUMPTION when reading that! Sure, mobile phone users standing in the checkout lane while talking on their phone is RUDE BEHAVIOR - but that is not what I am referring to. When people call you, if you don't answer within three rings, they accuse you of "screening your calls" - RUDE on the part of the caller making that ASSUMPTION, a real LIFE is not glued to a phone. If you don't respond to a text within "minutes", the ONE-SIDED conversation escalates into ASSUMING you are "mad at them and ignoring their texts" - RUDE on the part of the person sending the text for making that ASSUMPTION. When a phone rings, the caller expects the callee to drop EVERYTHING, that NOTHING the callee is doing is EVER more "important" than the MEANINGLESS conversation about to take place! I could go on. Phones are RUDE. And more often than not, it's the person doing the calling that is being RUDE, not the person LIVING A LIFE and delaying a response until a time that is CONVENIENT for them. I haven't had a phone since 2001 !!! It's the singlemost important decision I have ever made as far as IMPROVING the Quality of Life that I live.
  3. Hmm. I cannot get Widevine to play any videos either. I've never actually tried until today so I may have to spend a few days researching.
  4. Can you .zip these and PM me with the .zip file? My Widevine here at work is version 4.10.2652.0 and does not work in 360Chrome v13.5 (I can get test pages to indicate I have Widevine installed, but the demo page video will not play).
  5. My versions disable Widevine but can be enabled. I'd have to review to indicate that process. For your Humming Own version, can you update Widevine via: chrome://plugins/
  6. Mee two. Wee're nott riting boooks hear. Eye four won willl nott loose iny sleeep overseaing typohs ear hat MSFN.
  7. If I counted correctly, we need 15 more to make it to 10 pages.
  8. We will add one after recent posts elsewhere on MSFN - New Rule - Never revive posts older than 1 month unless the new post will be useful to members other than yourself. Basically ask yourself before posting, "Is this post me talking to myself or will others gain knowledge from this post?"
  9. Agreed. I myself dislike old threads being "hoarded" on the server and revived later. But it would be a full time job to keep track of which ones should stay and which ones should go and which one was just revived with "nothing". It's all over the place here at MSFN. Here's one to kind of laugh at -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/66361-what-not-to-remove-for-some-programs/page/13/ 1 month between consecutive posts. Then 2 weeks. Then 4 weeks. Then 1 month. Then 5 months. Then 1 year. Then 1 year. Then 1 year. Then 3 years. And that's just on Page 13. But who is to say that this nLite topic is no longer useful to new arrivals? Here's one with a 2 month gap, a 7 month gap, another 2 month gap, a 1 year gap, then a 3 year gap -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/24563-what-is-wihu/ Granted, those are some VERY OLD posts. I didn't want to hunt all day to find if one or two MSFN Members are reviving old posts. All I did was a Google "site:msfn.org" search for "1yr later".
  10. It's kind of a self-comparing benchmark. What do you get with NM27 or NM28 or St52 or St55 or BNav, for example? On Win10, I run Marmaduke Ungoogled v113 and it scores twice as high with the same network speeds as 360Chrome v13.5. It doesn't "feel" twice as fast, but I prefer to run whatever browser can quantitatively score the highest and take "feelings" out of the equation.
  11. Forum Rule #9 - 9. Do not bash old topics when a member has made it active again; it's been made active for a good reason: to answer an unanswered question, or to bring up new information. It does not need to be closed or deleted. I'm not really a "fan" of old topics being made new again, but there is nothing coherently "wrong" with making old topics active again.
  12. Corporate Policy strictly forbids Win11 so I can only test this in Win10. Open "Settings" and go to the "Storage" section. About half way down, you will see a link in blue - "Change where new content is saved". Click that link and see if this dialog helps your issue.
  13. The whole "bells and whistles" approach to automotive design in my opinion is all just MARKETING. You "sell" to the Soccer Mom and you can ask a much MUCH higher MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). When the SEAT BELT was first introduced, NOBODY BOUGHT THEM, "why would we buy that car, it's not a SAFE CAR if they need to resort to adding something called a 'seat belt'..." Society no longer thinks that way, if Car A has "20 safety features" and Car B has "22 safety features", they will buy Car B and pay the HIGHER price. Look into the Peltzman Effect. The "safer" we make our vehicles, the more RECKLESS our driving habits become. When vehicles had drum brakes, people would follow at a "safe distance". Add anti-lock disc brakes and now they TAILGATE. The RECKLESS driving habit completely OFFSETS the technological advancement of ant-lock disc versus drum. If you want to make the roads SAFE TO DRIVE, then every steering wheel should be equipped with a ten inch spike pointed directly at the heart of the driver. How safe would your "driving habits" be if you knew than any wrong move would embed that ten inch spike directly into your chest cavity?
  14. I once dreamt that I was go-cart racing on the rings of Saturn. The next day, a lady turned out in front of me, I swirved to miss her, then swerved again to not get hit by an oncoming truck. The two quick swerves caused my car to fishtail. I rolled down a 30-degree embankment roughly 14-feet deep. The insurance estimates were that I rolled three times bumper over bumper and four times door over door. Luckiest day of my entire life! A police officer WITNESSED the entire thing and had the lady that pulled out in front of me already pulled over and escorted back to the scene. I swerved to MISS HER and she was thinking she could just KEEP ON DRIVING and NEVER STOP. Walked away with nothing but a BROKEN NOSE. Two witnesses saw the whole thing, one of them was a police officer or the "female driver" would have never so much as looked back! LUCKIEST day of my ENTIRE LIFE.
  15. It's one of my favorite accounts. I log in every 30 days to create a Mail Hold - every 30 datys! I literally only walk out to the mailbox and retrieve mail TWELVE times per YEAR. I get ZERO "junk mail" because flyers and advertisements and all sorts of JUNK are not "held" by the Post Office to deliver on my Mail Hold end-date.
  16. Hmmm... Tested with and without 'use strict'; and doesn't seem to make a difference so I'm unsure if that should be kept or not. But did discover that the login breaks with or without my polyfills enabled, so I guess that's reassuring that it isn't the polyfills causing the break but it's just the USPS web site. I think I'll label the USPS as a False Alarm.
  17. Is it principal or principle? Don't care, lol. My point is still conveyed.
  18. No meds here. Just a multi-vitamin in the morning. Along that note. In the 3rd grade, maybe 4th, my teacher handed me an envelope to take home to my parents. I did not know the contents and mom did volunteer work at the school so nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The next morning, DAD drove us to school. Dad NEVER drove us to school! But DAD drove us on this day. Dad sat me down in the lunch room and proceeded to the principal's office just around the corner. I could hear dad YELLING at he principal, behind closed door. Mind you, I went to a CATHOLIC school, my principal was a NUN. Turns out, the envelope contained a letter where my teachers were recommending me be put on Prozac or Ritalin or whatever Tic-Tac the doctors were handing out at the time. I can still, 40-some years later, hear dad YELLING at a NUN, "We have learned to handle his energetic spirit, you better find a way also because we WILL NOT drug our son and you WILL NOT tell us how to raise our children!" Still to this day, my peers cannot keep up with me. And that energetic spirit has served me well! Luv Ya, Dad. R.I.P.
  19. I think I'm going to start tackling these this way -- https://github.com/barbushin/javascript-errors-notifier/releases I was hoping to just keep ALL of my polyfill usercripts enabled ALL THE TIME but I suspect that's just gonna cause of lot of web sites to break. By using this extension instead, I won't have to open my console every time a web site requries a polyfill, I just need to pull down the icon because it turned red to indicate the page has javascript errors then enable the appropriate polyfill and reload.
  20. This version breaks USPS login. Previous version breaks MS Teams login.
  21. I've always had that delay. I wouldn't swap .dll's between 1030 and 2036, the index numbers for several translation strings do not match. If you navigate through the settings, you may see text in spots they never used to be at. Did you check for that delay with and without the site isolation flag disabled?
  22. The results are always good for per-computer comparisons (different browsers on the SAME COMPUTER). But the results have never been good for computer-to-computer (my computer versus your computer). Speedometer is great (IMO) for desktop/laptop comparisons but essentially worthless (I am told) as a mobile phone benchmark.
  23. I doubt I even have it anymore. I'd have to recreate it from scratch.
  24. Run in Incognito. I suspect your uBO (which always sounds to me like something somebody would say walking out of the gym) is interfering.
