Thorium
NotHereToPlayGames replied to mockingbird's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Is it base Thorium crashing? Or Thorium "plus" a handful of extensions? My only Thorium is "base", no extensions, no flags, just ran directly from the portable .bat. Until it becomes truly "ungoogled", it's really just something I follow the development of and see if it matures into something of use to me - it's not technically there yet, but I do have high hopes. Higher than Supermium, at least "so far". -

What is RAM utilization at time of crash? Over 80%? -

NotHereToPlayGames replied to mockingbird's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Not that I'm aware of. But I know that it runs in my XP VM with zero runtimes installed - no .NET, no DirectX, no Java, no Visual C++, no runtimes of any kind. I install runtimes in my real XP machines, but I want my VM to be as tiny as possible. -

Since you edited to add bold and underline. You may want to consider that I am very likely the ONLY member of MSFN that runs XP (both x86 and x64), both in VM and real era-correct hardware (slower performance than yours, as I recall), that does NOT install POSReady. -

Yes. Thorium works great for me in XP x86 SP3, fully updated, without POSReady (you already know my "view" on POSReady, wink wink, it "killed" a past XP machine with several CAD programs, forced a complete reinstall, have never touched POSReady since). On all three of the following -- Single-core VM. Dual-core real hardware. Single-core Intel Atom. Also works great in XP x64 SP2, fully updated, unsure if POSReady is even "for" x64 (never tried POSReady in x64, never will). I actually have the exact opposite experience with Supermium. Crashes or won't even launch for me. Only tried it on my single-core Intel Atom and in single-core VM. -
Password Myths - Change Passwords Every 90 Days
NotHereToPlayGames replied to Monroe's topic in Technology News
SOLVED IT !!! Once you "bold" all the vowels, the password 'catches on fire' and all the rules go from green to red as the letter or number is turned into a "flame" and that rule is no longer met. -

Password Myths - Change Passwords Every 90 Days

Getting closer. -
All I know is "keep doing what you are doing". Three or four of you will be over 10k in no time! All the power to you! I agree with the moderators that keep saying it is a meaningless number. But ask any newcomer and they'll disagree. They see mod or admin next to a user's name, that means something. They see a huge "reputation" score and that means something. I literally just laugh each and every time I see one person post ten likes in a row when I launch my MSFN shortcut - https://msfn.org/board/discover/ I just see it as some sort of CONTEST on who will hit 10k first.

May not have a solution. The chess move violation of c8 is only there to pass Rule 10 captcha. -

Password Myths - Change Passwords Every 90 Days
NotHereToPlayGames replied to Monroe's topic in Technology News
Changing passwords every 90 days is a SECURITY RISK in my opinion. It "creates" a work environment where people WRITE THEIR PASSWORD on a post-it note and that post-it note is usually quite easy to find! I can show you two dozen offices here at work where there is a post-it note "hidden" on the underside of the cubicle shelf that contains the desk lighting. -
Password Myths - Change Passwords Every 90 Days
NotHereToPlayGames replied to Monroe's topic in Technology News
Shhh. Don't tell my IT Department! My work computer "forces" us all to change our password every 90 days. And the "system" will not let us change to any of our last TWELVE passwords. So you asked what I do - my password has technically been IDENTICAL for the last TWENTY YEARS !!! Every 90 days, I change my password thirteen times in roughly 4 minutes with that 13th password being the same EXACT password I've been using when I first started working for this company! -
I've had better luck with Thorium. Not such luck with Supermium. Both are early in development so time will tell. My remaining XP machines are either dual-core without hyperthreading or Intel Atom processors. Supermium crashes for me on these XP machines.

Have you tried that one? If so - good, bad, or indifferent? I thought I tried it on XP x64 and it DID NOT LAUNCH. Do not recall offhand.

You will notice that an admin stopped by and "took care of it" (many thanks, btw). *ALL* of this BOTS posts have been deleted/hidden. His "Introduce Yourself" bot-post = gone. His "Vista games" bot-post [over 1yr old] = gone. His vote for Athlon over Pentium in the Poll Center [over 1yr old] = gone. That *IS* what "bots" do. They reply to a DEAD THREAD with a MEANINGLESS post that says NOTHING. Replying to a DEAD THREAD is not against forum rules (it's just a tell-tale sign that the person doing the posting just might not be a "real person"). 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. In the case above (already deleted/hidden by an admin, thanks again!), an OLD TOPIC was made active again, but it was NOT by a "member". It was by some computerized BOT with a HISTORY of replying to OLD THREADS with MEANINGLESS posts that say NOTHING. No "person" is doing the typing/posting. It's all computerized/automated. Carry on, my dear MSFN Friend. I think I made my point and this "conversation" has ran its course. No need for either one of us to continue this "discussion" at this point. Though yeah, it gives your "gang" OFF-TOPIC posts to throw their "likes" at. Gives the rest of us something to laugh at. You are all correct! You all have very HIGH "reputations" now. All because of these "likes". Some say they don't mean anything, but NEWBIES to the forum see them, you guys are doing great, "you win".

You may be right. But I still stand by my view that modifying/repacking something based on Chrome v87 is still a "waste of time".

Right. I was considering modifying/repacking as a tribute of sorts to Humming Owl. But I have since reconsidered and see it as essentially a "waste of time".

Easy. Look at ALL of his posts. They violate MSFN Forum Rules: 2.a Use some common sense. Do not create identical topics or make identical posts in more than one forum. Think before posting and choose the right topic for your question or answer. Do not "bump" newly created topics until at least 24 hours have passed. If a topic has been "bumped" three times without any new replies, please consider reviewing and editing your original post and adding any information which you think may help other members in answering your question(s) or concern(s). When posting, have something to say, not just "My First post!" or "Cool site!!!" We sort of have the idea by now. :-) 4.a Spamming will not be tolerated. We have provided a section for those who wish to share your personal websites, not commercial ones; use these sections only. We do keep a log of all IP traffic that comes in and out of this site. We will report spamming to your ISP! AND furthermore - LOOK AGAIN at the post herein. HE EDITED YESTERDAY'S POST AND IT NOW CONTAINS A SPAM LINK! THIS IS NOT A "REAL PERSON", IT'S A "BOT", plain and simple. I have reported his EDITED SPAM POST.

Umm... You replied to a guy's one and only post in a thread over a year old. That was clearly a BOT POST.

You really have to read ALL posts EVERY day. We have members that "pick fights" then carry those over to other threads. Somebody started it, I could care less who started it. The Bigger Man moves on.

If you follow the forum daily as I do, that attack is a two-way street from a third-party perspective. I have no clue which side of the street attacked first. Nor care, if you want me to be perfectly honest. It's just one of those "it is what it is" things. I do not use CentBrowser. Therefore NOPE, I will not be creating a github account just to intervene. My OPINION is that this is just another FALSE POSITIVE. I really have NO TRUST in anti-virus "tests".

Not to "poke the bear", but I kind of AGREE. And DISAGREE. Both at the same time! If one publicly claims that a virus detection in r3dfox should be addressed with the author (this post), then that should be true for CentBrowser also. Don't forget, we had to go through this also with Supermium (here and here). Personally, I hate hate HATE anti-virus programs! I have never, and I literally mean NEVER, witnessed a "real" positive in nearly FORTY YEARS of being on computers! (I don't hunt for them in dark corners of the internet though either.) I have witnessed hundreds and hundreds and HUNDREDS of FALSE POSITIVES where one of my former job roles was to REPORT the FALSE POSITIVES to Malwarebytes (ENTERPRISE) and McAfee (ENTERPRISE). So YES!!! A resounding YES!!! When I see the question asked, "Is this a false positive?", my answer is basically, "Not my problem, but if I had to GUESS, then YES, it's a FALSE POSITIVE, because I've never seen a "real" positive!" But again, I don't hunt or browse or fratenize with the dark corners of the internet! We basically all have the computing skills to know what is meant by "dark corners of the internet". My two cents...
