    Agreed! I even boycott "POS" updates - I've witnessed them BREAK too many things (but I didn't document the breaks, I just uninstalled the "POS" and everything returned to functional). My daily driver remains XP x64 - but since I have ZERO use for "Windows Updates", there really isn't much "here" for me. But I still call it home

    I've actually always preferred Feodor2's SLOWER RELEASE PACE. NOT a fan of "weekly" updates. Feodor2's slower release has always (in my view) been MUCH better TESTED by Feodor2 before shipping to the public. I've always felt that Feodor2 tests his own releases. And Roytam just compiles them and does not test them.

    Kayako Saeki comes to mind. But can't remember what movie it was where she was walking up/down stairs with basically what looked like broken legs.

    Has to do with the number of eye muscles required to focus on visual details in light versus dark. Google it, there's a TON of documented studies. Like when you sit in the dark and somebody turns the lights on - there is a delay before your eyes can focus. That delay is NOT because you "just woke up" and are "groggy". Our eyes are wired for daylight. Our brains are literally not wired to live in the dark. We can adapt, but not all of us - ask anyone that works or has tried to work 3rd shift. And like 3rd shift, those that can adapt, they'll never work anything but 3rd shift. So there ARE people on "both sides".

    Because we all know they exist and none of us really need your help in combatting them. Those "spying connections" are PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. As is the methods to combat them.

    According to my eye doctor, avoid using them! People "think" they are easier on the eyes in dark environments, they're actually damaging to your vision. Something about rods and cones. Eye doctor tried to explain it but I kinda phased him out because I don't use them anyway. And they way I see it, if they were "better" for your eyes, then you could buy health magazines and books where the text was white but the paper was dark.

    I personally feel that Win11 is for the "gamer". I have never (and will never!) be a fan of "dark themes". It has been my experience that only "gamers" and "html/js coders" really 'like' "dark themes". They give me MIGRAINES - so yeah, I'm a bit "biased" against "dark themes".

    What the heck is a "UOC patch" ? Disregard - found it -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/178306-the-uoc-patch-optimize-firefox-and-derivatives-for-old-hardware/ Did you alter any of the home PC fonts? ie, experiment with "emoji's" ?

    But you don't need an "updated" XP to perform these tasks.
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    Agreed.

    I think the bigger point is whether they should be within "spoiler" tags or not. Would reduce a TON of scrolling and make the thread more "efficient". But on the other hand, I have seen the "spoiler" tag not really work correctly over the years (but the forum software has been updated at least twice since then, that I'm aware of).

    It's that one. And sure enough, v11 will now try to log in but that wasn't the case a few months ago - the blue login button would turn gray but nothing would happen after that. It used to require v13 or higher just to turn the blue login button to gray while it tried to log in even with a fake username/password. But what I'm seeing today is that ANY browser can turn the blue login button to gray and get a "Invalid User ID or Password" but only something higher than v13 will actually log in.
  14. NotHereToPlayGames
    Not really! You can put in FAKE username/password and still witness the non-working aspect of the web site in anything less than 360Chrome v13. But only folks that HAVE an account (just under 50% of the entire USA has their water supplied by American Water or its subsidiaries) have the vested interest to track it down. But 99% of those only use the latest-and-greatest OS with the latest-and-greatest web browser.

    86 F Us in the States don't "know" 30 C
  16. NotHereToPlayGames
    I know. I don't read them. 99% of them make ZERO sense to me. I wish they were in a "hide/show" toggle-box because I kinda see them as a pain to scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll

    Whenever I hear people claim how "safe and secure" Firefox is, I just turn and walk away.

    Not really "mad", lol. I guess I was hoping to return to NM28 because I only abandoned it roughly two years ago and it was because my water bill web site stopped funtioning using NM28. I kind of assumed that it is optional chaining / nullish coalescing, but I don't know for sure. I'm "happy" with 360Chrome - but I still keep an eye out on NM28 (not a fan of St52 or St55).
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    Bummer. American Water billpay website still requires 360Chrome v13 or higher.
  20. NotHereToPlayGames
    Great answer. (I was aware of upstream workings, but unaware that they made it into St52 and NM28 - will be testing, woot woot.) But I would prefer the forum software to replace "M$" with "**". Since it is meant as "derogatory", then it should be "censored" with asterisks. I just "hate" reading "M$" when what you really mean is MICROSOFT.

    I certainly am. Since I had to do a lookup -- https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ootl

    Regarding Win7 - is there some trick for the USB to be POWERED OFF when you eject a flash drive? XP and 10 both power the flash drive OFF when it says safe to remove.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    That's what this does -- https://www.plop.at/en/pbm6/bios.html You boot from CD/DVD. But then select USB. My BIOS doesn't have a USB option so I have to skip BIOS, boot from CD, then boot from USB.

    You could always download ALL of the drivers and slipstream ALL of them - https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/3-series/ideapad-3-14iml05/81wa/downloads/driver-list/ Then when you install, it only uses the drivers that are needed. Once up and running, I prefer to use "DriverGrabber" ( https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/drivergrabber.html ) and slipstream what it collects.

    I'm kind of liking Win11. It's not for me as far as my Daily Driver (an XPS 8700 i7-4770 at 3.4 GHz with 16 GB RAM, roughly 10 years old, it remains on XP x64). But to be truly open-minded and give Win11 a true shot, I would have to compare it directly to Win10 on this XPS 8700 - which will never happen so long as I have bank account access from XP.
