You didn't specify software or hardware so i say Microsoft mouse from 1983. Anyone who says it is bad they do not understand how x and y axis based input devices are the future. Also can your fancy IBM PS/1 with PC-DOS and keyboard play piano on screen? No. Maybe I should not joke here but that question is super vague and kinda makes no sense. Pick one MS product to like is kinda strange . Maybe rephrase whole thing and also mods could move this to different category since this is not related to windows 11 and maybe you can get more sensible answer to more senisble question

Here we call them Viktoriankaijanen. In my experience they wont like other birds and they bit very hardly even stronger than cockatiel when they attack and for that sized bird they move quickly. Lizards don't like from other pets. I remember once there was dog visiting on house with gecko and it came to front window and tried scare dog away and dog just stared it with interest. Luckily there was glass between them. Do you keep iguana in your yard?

well I have not closely followed that sinking ship but their engine seems not allow do anything for those privacy settings on palememe based browser even when I allow js. It works on ungoogled chromium and librewolf so useless and inferior to searx, which can do ddg and google results and I can run it on my private instance And thing is violators will never change for better. For example privacy respecting Duckduckgo used to run data collection operation before was privacy respecting vendor. Always look under curtain and you see more than before. Like I said you still got lot to learn in life (so do I and everyone else) and that if something sounds too good to be true it is not true.

@Sampei.Nihiraif you want to see how Pihole log looked like after I reloaded site with all content blocking off at browser level. It seems work for basic ads.

I know that feeling. I had perfectly configured XP setup on old mainboard (asus m2n-sli deluxe) that did not want reload os when moved to new mainboard (Asus H87M-PLUS) and used lot of effort to remove old drivers, convert it to achi, install new drivers, reconfigure anything that relied on old drivers because it was less effort compared fresh install of windows and software and tweaks

there is soluction for that if you have spare linux box or VM to utilise. https://pi-hole.net/ I am using that and it with default lists works great for blocking ads in network level. Sometimes UBO might conflict with that. Also make sure you wont blacklist any CDN you may need because some lists on by default. I agree with this. In my tests on Chromium, Gecko and Goanna based browsers enabling excess amount of blocklists wont block more ads or trackers and only slows down browsing. I only use UBO for cosmetic blocking and Umatrix will handle ads and tracking blocking. Also ublock is helpful to block anything that umatrix is missing for some reason because sometimes you cant block all visual annoyances and ublock works great for it. I only use built in filters and adblock filter list for finland and my custom cosmetic filters on it.

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/ In short Chromium will be removing webRequest api and replace it with chrome.declarativeNetRequest in next month with Manifest V3 (V2 will be crippled away). This of course is done in name of security because google is worried from following to end user. Now when I said official story I can say my opinion on this. That is total lie and only purpose of that is to limit privacy add-ons like noscript, ublock origin, Umatrix etc from having higher control over your browser. New api replacing it will not allow addons directly read data and will force request trough chromium (source). Also that wont limit addons from stealing your data because malicious addons today wont need to read your browser traffic to steal passwords or or other data. But of course anything can be done with security excuse. And if you think some alternatives like Firefox or Coward I mean Brave will not do it remember that Firefox is funded by Google and it past they killed off XPCOM addons in name of security, forced addon signatures, added hard blocklist for addons and Brave gets paid from Google to use their search engine plus it uses Chromium engine as default, it includes it own spyware, it uses addons still for contect blocking. And some actually good forks like Librewolf and Ungoogled chromium are in uphill battle with mainstream decisions and developers of librewolf has admitted they have problem hand. And UXP based browsers like Palememe or Serpent suffer from compatibility issues with Chromium JS and WASM made pages so those are not so great either for all use. Feels like every day I want get more away from internet, but world forces me to use online services to do basic things because offices are closed or resisted access

I cannot fully say if this works in your configuration but I have been using these drivers to load even NT4 on newer mainboards on achi mode. You need to slipstream those with nlite http://alter.org.ua/en/soft/win/uni_ata/

I wonder what parrots you had? Cockatiels, Budgies, Lovebirds or bigger parrots? Does France have population from escaped parrots? When I was in Spain long ago I saw Quaker parrots there.

I have seen around same age laptop booting Windows 3.1. That laptop did not have any documentation with it and finding info is hard as it is Olivetti rebranded to digital. I have that laptop still but without understanding error codes I cant swap rechargable cmos battery. I installed one to it which had same voltage and laptop turned off every so often blinking heart symbol on LCD which I assume means system health warning. When I pulled battery it worked and still works great just need reconfigure bios on every boot. I also was able to salvage very rare WSOY EN-FI dictionary program (1991) from it hard drive that runs on DOS and WIN16 (it runs even on XP).

They are not too bad to run but problem is that many programs use those as unnecessary depency. For example firefox by default wont work without pulseaudio without good reason but you can make it work without. SystemD, Dbus, Pulseaudio etc are more things that power user may not want in their system but for average mortal does not have to worry about them. I recommend newbie to just get just work distro like Linux mint or Salix and not think Artix, Devuan or Gentoo and avoiding pulseaudio and others before is advanced enough (and even then is not requirement) If systemd would be my biggest worry and not worry from making enough to to pay bills or any other actual issues I would be happy

for me google vs apple vs Microsoft is same s*** with different as*****. Apple privacy thing is straight out lie to attract consumers. Apple made their tracking blocking thing to have ad monopoly that would force every ad company pay them for data. Also apple super privacy respecting setup requires you to activate device on apple servers. Also Apple uses privacy as excuse to make side loading of apps in Macos hard/Make it impossible on iOS and in name of security they try block you from maintaining your own devices. So they are no different than other violators and it is totally foolish to believe that publicly traded company would care from your privacy and would not sell your data to get more earnings for shareholders. Thing is that these days privacy is best marketing term for anything. Last time I saw honest company was Google around 2010 when their CEO said that if you do not want them to see your files do not upload files to their service and that is redpill many are not ready to swallow even today because they are not comfortable with fact that no company cares from your rights or privacy and only want to lure you believe so. I assume I will get plenty of "look this research or whitepaper that proves your FUD wrong" like always when I question their precious companies (not talking from you rather that diehard part)

All I can say is that here we go again. Lot of people around me keep saying they will never ever go to Windows 11 from Windows 10 and will boycott Microsoft for bad decisions. Same people said that they wont go to Windows 10 from Windows 8 or 7 and guess what OS they use now? Windows 10. I bet in few months most of them are running Windows 11 only. Why do everyone say things they wont stand behind? I am not saying that just give up and go all to Windows 11 and all other M$ products and give them thousands of euros, rather stick on your words or make more realistic plan like I will only use Windows 11 where I really have to and will prefer have main system with older version of Windows or go to linux like me. Currently got two Windows 8+ system I use. One is workplace laptop with Windows 10 and second is my LAB system running Windows 11 for testing purposes and it is located on isolated network that is behind separate IP and wont have access to my personal network. Currently that lab system is running Linux though. And if someone want use Windows 11 that is fine too but my point is don't say things you wont mean. I just wonder how much more consumers are able to stand? I guess they would even be fine mandatory for retina scan every time they want use their PC (facial scan exist already called Windows Hello but that is not forced for now) and even if machine would lock them out after they were looking wrong information like what is wrong with this system.

Also Nightmare on Elm Street 3 had PC/AT compatible with Windows 1.0 in background on one scene. Maybe that was real nightmare on movie . P.S I have almost that compaq laptop but it is slightly newer Compaq contura CX430 with 100mhz 486 cpu. Old compaqs are near unkillable laptops. Few years ago I found one old article from that series of notebooks and some complained they had issues running Windows 95 but luckily I never had those.

how much your iguana costed you on wall repairs ? most geckos need heated rock with uv light to rest since will simulate the natural resting in sunlight for them. They spend most of time in dark ares and temperature must be bit over normal room temp (20c) and in winter you cant ventilate that room to avoid freezing your lizard. Exotic animals are very prone to cold and right now we got -22c and dropping so that must be taken in consideration. they are very intelligent since they know to come out when they hear familiar voice and will come closer to wall when they see familiar face. Also they know when is feeding time and come out when that happens even if food is not ready. They got very good memory for that sized animal. I almost spit my morning coffee to monitor when saw this

Like I said this was not pointed to you. I meant I do not like to be called fan when you said "Windows fans" because fans are thing I hate. I know you are aware of Linux problems since wont run Ubuntu and thinking are super unhackable, rather devuan and avoid all bad things on mainstream distros but meant Linux community overall that does not like any critics or words that could be improved and any other community does same Speaking that Mozilla thread it was not to bash Mozilla rather raise awareness from doublespeak and lies they do because best way to change things is raise awareness of people who were not aware of them. Only way change problems is make everyone aware of it, but problem with that is that taking red pill and see the truth is harder than taking blue pill and believe whatever you want and internet is full of examples of that. I would not be surprised if my different opinion would have caused outrage is Mozilla diehard reddit. And I wont talk bad from things to shill some fake projects like brave unlike some do. And I am not any anti Linux user. I got Linux running network level firewall, DHCP, Content filters (Pihole to block some things I do not want in my network). I also use Linux on main workstation and all servers exposed internet are running Linux and only allow Windows powered servers work on isolated LAN behind VPN. And what are browser choices for Linux? Well GNU Librewolf which is Latest FF without most nasty stuff and secondary browser I use is SeaMonkey and then for anything that does not need "modern" browser I use Webbrowser which is Palememe based and I also use Iceape UXP. If you still think I am Linux and Gecko engine hater then it must be that way. there seems to be rule that before some thing is mainstream it is hard to use but generally has better feature set instead of having nasty stuff and whenever some thing becomes more mainstream is start turning into bad. One benefit of Linux compared to Windows is that Kernel is open source like desktop and toolkit and there is some very good distros like Salix (easiest to configure), Devuan (allow control without too much hassle), Artix Linux (for those who actually want control over OS and not just brag off like arch users) and Gentoo (for those who got no life and got plenty of free time to compile, but in other hand you get more freedom to decide what your system will have.)

Long ago I used one spare Pentium 4 machine with 512mb of RAM to run game servers with WS2003 R2. Most important thing to remember is use proper hardware firewall between server and internet and ONLY allow ports that you need and I recommend high non standard ports and block pinging of port since that will reduce change of port scan attack. Any Windows or Linux or even BSD based server will get hacked if you leave all ports open. It is like leaving door open instead of small window to get fresh air. For web server I highly recommend against using id*** Information services since back in day that was room for worms like Code Red worm long ago. Also I recommend against wordpress. Use only apache and that way you are less vurneable. Sorry that cant tell how do that firewall thing on VPS since I self host all of my servers to have better access over them and have hacker proof killswitch (pull the plug) but it control panel should allow port blocking I guess

in my experience they used equally amount of ram. Linux mint 32 and 64 bit uses around 1gb of ram and salix uses around 400mb of ram with my config on 64 and 32bit. So salix got less extra clutter by default but it also mean it wont have things like timeshift (linux version of system restore), update manager but you need to pick between which feels best. Like I said usb Live USB to see yourself which suites best. Here is downloads Salix: https://www.salixos.org/download.html Linux Mint LTS (long term support) releases since you are not bleeding edge kid and likely prefer stuff not change too rapidly: Linux Mint 19 Tara supported until 2023 https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=256 Linux Mint 20 Ulyana supported until 2025 https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=283

I got two suggestions that offers live cd to test OS fully before you start formatting drive to it. Both of them are beginner friendly and browse web wont need do any command line things. Also both can configure windows dualboot and partition automatically without lot of hassle Salix OS and Linux mint are my recommendation. Linux mint is based on Ubuntu and got wider support for software but it got some bad things like system D. If you use pick XCFE desktop as it wont need 3d acceleration. It got graphical application installer for additional software. Salix OS is Slackware based but got GUI for installing packages and softwares and got pretty decent software collection out of box but follows one program per task philosophy and most important to me lacks systemD. Why is systemD so bad? It limits freedom of choice. and should I go with Salix? No. You can test both and see which fits for best for you using livecd. And at the end things like freedom choosing init systems and others wont mean a thing when going first time to linux so pick whatever works for you out those two. You can later decide what path you want take but you cant take path if pulled off from it. And order you install them is XP first then Linux that grub loader will take over and work with both. Just keep spare linux install medium around if you accidentally hose up the bootloader

surprised that so small parrot was able to be grow without mother. That is way smaller than budgie eggs I have seen hatching. Feeding formula is important on handfeeding and keeping good hygiene. You need boil formula mix and cool it down and disinfect hands before handling baby budgie. They got no immune system and any bacteria can be lethal.

I do not like to be called fan as fans are most toxic form of community. They refuse to see problem with whatever they are using, blindly defend any decision related company or other behind project and harass and haunt anyone who suggest that even single thing could be improved. For me it is whatever work best for use case and most of time modern operating system or device fails to fulfill that task. For some modern windoze 11 PC might fulfill for some full Linux use may fulfill it and that is great if does but some (not all) are ignoring those who cant make it fullfill their tasks and insist them to use it. I am running linux on my router and servers plus use it for banking but for some things like gaming, office tasks at home, listening to music, editing older windows just works so damn well and that is why I keep it. I hate when someone insists "you need go to newer or other platform despite current one works perfectly for you" but are so insulted if someone else say their platform is bad. I can admit, 98 is stable as nitroglycerin sometimes, Windows XP is stable but has flaws like Internet Exploiter and WPA but many of things that are issues to me on older version of Windows either have not been fixed or gotten worse. And we cant just accept that there is latest and greatest Windoze, Macos and Linux as only options on market. Two of those are going fast downfall and Linux has it own flaws community refuses to admit like lack of support for some programs, lack of gui support (which by the way cannot be ignored with freedom to control excuse, not all of are skilled or willing to tweak all trough command line. Try setup bind9 with gui that are near nonexisting vs Windows server DNS, I bet you will cry for bind9 refusing to start without proper error), big corporations having too much control over features implemented with SystemD and Pulseaudio. Sure you can have SystemD and Pulseaudio free distro but that is band aid fix as companies will work on making those two depencies lets take GNOME and Firefox as example (which is owned by google by the way) and bet in future more and more will depend on it so deeply you cant run away from features they want to force down user throat. Also did you know that evil Microsoft contributes to linux kernel these days so just wait until they start add unwanted stuff there too. Linux is not community run project rather controllerd by big corpos (And I know Linux is kernel not OS before someone says so and know it is GNU/Linux unless use some custom distro, but kernel can shape OS) This turned into rant but I had to say my word on this. There is not perfect or even good solution anymore if go with new stuff and old one can be fight against windmills (but I will take that challenge to have freedom over OS I use) and fans are reason why this world turned into such mess it is now. If all would have had judged corpos as they did bad things and would have boycotted them none of this would be issue now. But sadly most are too diehard fans to admit anything being wrong with their precious products. I sh1t on everything problems, be that oldschool Nokia, Symbian, Windows 95-Windows 7, Linux, Saab, Volvo, Honda or other thing and only reason why I say against badmouthing is when I hear completely false claims from something that people without knowledge says. P.S This is nothing personal to you just that I expressed my opinion Ok enough posting stuff to this thread So it can stay on topic. Just wanted put my word here since there is rarely linux talk. Maybe someone need open thread to linux where can talk from this. This owl will be flying away and wait for other threads to talk

here we need uv lamp too and also geckos need warm rock for few hours a day that is heated with uv lamp. They go and rest there like they would in sun on nature my family member gecko used to have trait to miss it living food (it is served with moving bugs once a day to keep natural hunting up) and smash nose first to rock. Surprised she did not broke anything. Also she did not like wheel placed on cage and kept climb to rock wall until it was taken away.

meant qecko is more of night animal and mostly comes out when dark. It stays up around same time. There is artificial lights to keep it sleeping routing way it is awake with owners.

one of my family members got Leopard gecko as pet and know how lizards are. They are awake while most sleep since light. It can be controlled with lamps but sometimes blocking all natural light is hard if got no own room to it. I personally only had fishes in past. Been thinking get Budgerigar parakeet but right now got no time to spend with them so out of question. I admit at current state of world I would be bad pet owner and will wait for better time. Well it is future plans.

slow service. Took near week to get my coffee. I want my money back (what money?)
