  1. That's not the latest, the latest has a 360chrome.exe dated 10/28/2023 which if I'm following date format correctly (other country date formats "confuse me") would be 28.10.2023 since no country has 15 months in a year so that first number has to be the day.
  2. Mr. Bean is always good for a laugh!
  3. Ah, right you are. I like to watch movies but I seldom memorize anything about them, including actors/actresses. Movies exist as a form of entertainment and to "waste time". I allocate "memory" for job-related functions, not for movies, actors, actresses.
  4. May just be a slight bit of ADHD setting in (they called it ADD when I was a kid, loved it because math was my favorite subject), but I had to stop watching as soon as I saw it was going to take 23 minutes. Which usually just means I'll watch it at some time I know at the start that I have 23 minutes to kill. I'm thinking they had similar "commentary" regarding one of the lawyers in Boston Legal ???
  5. I watched Wednesday, loved it! Looking forward to Season 2! Christina Ricci is 43 years old, if she can play the role of a teenager, then I don't mind watching a "teenage comedy"
  6. Never heard of it! I technically don't watch "TV". I have a few paid subscription streaming services and the Roku has hundreds of free apps. I stopped paying for TV when rampant "reverse prejudice" and blatant "agenda pushing" became mainstream in *ALL* commercials. May just be my portion of the US, but yeah, it CHURNS MY STOMACH that *ALL* dentist commercials use FEMALE ACTRESSES to portray the "dentist" - REVERSE PREJUDICE, as if my SON isn't allowed to become a dentist. NOTHING against female dentists !!! But if (making up a number) 50% of dentists in the industry are female, then why are 100% of them females in tv commercials? Sorry, it's just little things like that that literally CHURNS MY STOMACH. And why do tv commercials always always ALWAYS have to portray an LBGTQ "couple"? </end rant>
  7. I'm basically the same way. But that is what growing up is supposed to be like, in my opinion. If you do the same "social scene" in your 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s that you did when you were in your 20s, then you "stopped growing" in your 20s. To each their own, of course. I do know a lot of people that "party" like they were still 20 and those people will never retire and have any form of "golden years". I've been told I have aspergers, decades ago when that's what they called it, so be it, look up the famous people that have had it, I'll take their company any day. No brain scan verification, just "social cues" and people in the field say I should get the brain scan. I *refuse to*. Social cues aside, I am "high functioning" and do quite well for myself. So call me anything you want, if you feel you have to put a label on everything, including the label maker, just don't call me late for dinner - 'cause I never turn down a free meal. What was the question again? Oooh, look, a squirrel!
  8. How much will you pay me if I can find a list of TEN cities where their temperature DECREASED for 2009 versus 2023? Again, I'm not a denier. But this IS a topic where EVERYBODY throws out "half truths" and "statistical bias" to present "their side". This most certainly is NOT a topic that MSFN is going to solve.
  9. I did not choose to ignore, btw, I'm not going to be baited into political discussions that have no merit and are forbidden at MSFN. Heck, as far as that goes, this topic itself probably toes that line as close as you can get but it is General Stuff -> General Discussion and we don't need the forum to be 100% about web browsers and Start Menu apps and graphics cards.
  10. You lost me. Does not the link above (this page, not previous page) fully indicate a case to be made for Global Warming? My neutrality is that Global Warming is *NOT* caused be ENGINE HEAT, it's caused by EMISSIONS not "heat transfer".
  11. Here's a better "window" -- https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-temperature
  12. Using a 14yr window presents a statistical bias. Every statistician knows how to define their window to make their case instead of break their case.
  13. This is not a very smart comment and contributes to the "neither side is 100% correct". I am not a "denier" but nor am I a "zero footprinter" (is that a word?). Falsehoods and mistruths exist on BOTH sides of this argument. Period. https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/22647/have-there-been-any-studies-on-how-vehicles-directly-contribute-to-a-rising-glob Not sure if that's the best link to springboard a SCIENTIFIC APPROACH or not, but look at gas burning stoves versus electric stoves and how some wish to abolish one versus the other, it is NOT about the HEAT that they produce. Generating "heat" (such as touching the engine of that car) is NOT what causes Global Warming. If it were that simple, we would have no such thing as a "catalytic converter" (touch one of those and feel how hot it is!). We can't solve Global Warming by wearing extra layers of clothing and abolishing furnaces to warm our homes. It's about CO2 emissions. "Heat" is a byproduct of a car engine. "Heat" is a byproduct of an electric stove, of a gas burning stove, of a lawnmower. Not to over-simplify in equivalence (sp?) to the over-simplification of "touch the engine", but generally speaking, the "heat" is not the issue. Exothermic reaction. Endothermic reaction. Thermodynamics. etc. It's the emissions, not the "heat". </end rant>
  14. I'm the same way. Technically, I only use the St52 browser of this thread, but I have a long history with NM27 and NM28 and revisit them every once in a while just to witness "progress" with them. The St52 that I use (daily, btw, I don't own a mobile phone and St52 is my texting/emailing/voicemailing browser, but it's not my "web browser" for actual web-browsing) is 2023-07-31. Though I do get the feeling (can't prove it) that we are the MINORITY in this regard. I have always felt that most here update EVERY WEEKEND - but we need them, they're the one's finding any issues and just where would we (and some times even Official Pale Moon!) "be without them"?
  15. Technically, if we are truly honest here, one of MC's comments is dead-on accurate, whether we like to "admit" it or not. The builds/forks here can and do crash/corrupt at any time. Some have taken MONTHS to discover and isolate, these are RARE but they DO exist. We have all seen them, reports of "last known working version" and we have to go back MONTHS. There is no such thing as a "stable branch" of these builds/forks. We are guinea pigs, whether we want to be or not, whether we think we are or not. We are beta testers, whether we want to be or not, whether we think we are or not. However, what MC fails to see, in my humble opinion, is that we all feel "a part of something" here at MSFN. We cite these findings and discuss them as a community and the developer interacts with those of us that are "a part of something" and fixes are rolled out. How is that any different than Official Pale Moon development channels? Don't they also do the same? But, I submit, to a larger scale (we here at MSFN often thinks we are much larger than we actually are - but that can be our Pro or our Con, arguments exist on "both sides"). Long Live MSFN. Long Live "Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes".
  16. A fourth position - "Neither side is 100% correct."
  17. Whenever you encounter anything "map-related", that always suggests WebGL to me. Many folks disable WebGL and my releases used to disable it also. But 9 out of 10 "this web site does not work" was pretty much always WebGL so my releases now enable it by default and leaves it to the end-user to disable it if they so choose. Perhaps Mypal has WebGL disabled by default?
  18. Agreed! I haven't allowed third-party cookies in well over two decades. My ONLY exception is strictly work-related where I need the following three exceptions in order for Teams to work (I use web-based Teams and not the Desktop App). But even these delete themselves when I close my browser.
  19. Win95 on a '87 computer - that would be like getting a Speak & Spell to tell you what time it is. For some good history - https://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/computers/
  20. Q: What is a Cheerleader’s favorite food? A: Cheerios
  21. I no longer have a Chase account (and yep, Chase gets discussed here quite often), but when I did, I witnessed Chase load over 130 scripts on their login page alone! But to me, that's also why I continue to use Proxomitron. I was always able to log in and do everything needed with roughly only TWENTY of those 130+. No bank account web site should be loading FACEBOOK script files, for example.
  22. Same here. I use full hibernate and not the hybrid sleep that newer OSs use as default.
