Nokiamies

I am one few who despite using and liking cell phone are fine for someone not having one. It is more distract free life and if someone said had landline I called them instead of sending sms. I do not understand why some think person cannot live without one. It is user choice. I choose use one since advantages on a road or on move where I am mostly and I can always mute it only letting trough most important calls. You in other hand do not want distraction at all while on move which is understandable and person own choice

was it due short circuit or overheating that caused it? I rarely see melted pcb on mobile devices does it also have programmable contacts like one comsys landline phone I got? It got internal phonebook and option to program speed dial ever feel like despite being younger than many others you still got oldest phone out of them? Some wonder how I can work on computer industry without smartphone.

Since nobody else had started thread about it, I decided to start one. What type of phone everyone are using here? Smartphone, dumbphone or still been able to stick with landline phone or something else? Also what brand and what model and is there any special reason why that exactly? I am currently rocking on Nokia 6110 from 1997. I use it because durable body, it fits well to my hand, it got long battery life (1-2 weeks on single charge), and it is from era when Nokia assembled all phones in my home country. Sure they costed more but were more reliable. I have customised it a bit, got custom logo instead of operator name (old one from one tv channel) and got knight rider theme as ringtone. On pic it is sitting on desktop stand that can charge spare battery too I currently got no wired phone since operators no longer offer them to private. Been thinking getting voip, but my internet tend to drop sometimes and would miss a call for it

I do not want put you down, but there is more to it than just starting up shell. Windows system files might be missing some api calls it depends on, Windows XP shell is tied to internet explorer which is slowly dropping on win10 (only MSHTML.DLL will be left) and it may and will cause compability issues. Also control panel and others would not work proper since new control panel that is replacing old one soon. Back in late 90s there was software called 98lite for Windows 98/ME that allowed replace whole ie based explorer shell with one from windows 95, but windows 98, 95 and ME were very close each other mostly different driver model and shell (that worked mostly same on every version) while Windows XP got lot code different to windows 10 and also win10 updates could break it. And I am aware there was inexperience patcher for XP that swapped win2000 stuff to XP, but original winxp was mostly Windows 2000 with pretty look until sp2 which made it closer to Windows server 2003. I am not saying give up with your project, but that will be huge project to reprogram everything to work proper and unless you would need plenty of programming skills, time and other while not violating Microsoft software licence way they could sue you. Perhaps one day you prove me wrong (I will be amazed if someone actually does it) but in my opinion it is better keep focusing what XP community been so far, backporting software and drivers to XP. only way you can get true experience is to run Windows XP. I have had multiple peoples asking if can have win7, XP or 98 shell on Windows 10 and I explained why cannot. Everyone seems want someone magically make their Windows 10 desktop be fully like XP that is like asking Saab 900 turbo experience on Tesla Roadster. Only way is to run Windows XP and using hw and sw compatible with it to get experience..

Palemoon is slowly going firefox way due hostitle developer and recent stupid decisions example blocking addons like noscript since "security issues" or other stupid reason like mozilla, blocking XP support and trying make everyone believe palemoon cannot run on XP or vista. List would go on for miles but latest bad decision killing legacy ff addon support, for no good reason. But luckily like any foss software if someone takes undesirable path fork will appear without those issues. For Windows newmoon and also Mypal which address those issues. For linux there webbrowser that is palemoon without antifeatures. But otherwise it code is very good and it is more like what firefox used to be back in day before turning it bloat. I hope moonchild devs would stop being stupid on some decisions. it is due chrome optimised javascript. I generally browser very minimal amount of web these days mostly js blocked and if site refuses show me few text line without js I got no reason visit it. Some sites actually uses javascript to display text instead of using normal HTML I do not know from android side (nokia 6110 cannot run firefox ) but I used to have dualboot on my machine too. What I did was using profile manager made shared drive with custom profile accessible by both operating systems. That way I was able "sync" data between profiles. Of course that means need same browser on both sides, but that is one option. Not sure if can sync between New Moon and firefox somehow due code different.

any from 28. I do not like have sync on menus even if I wont use it. Sadly is is hard coded to palemoon so it is hard coded to newmoon too. Been trying find about about:config entry to it

Is there any way to disable Palemoon sync on newmoon so menus and options will disappear from it? It is annyoing since exist on toolbar, about:home and setting menu. On firefox had fxaccounts.sync.enabled but seems not find similar option

Dosbox on win98 sounds strange to me unless mean dos prompt aka dosbox. I remember nt and 2000 users having it but not 98. What is issue running dos games under Windows 98? Sound? Many ac97 cards had sound blaster emulator for sound. If mouse just make cutemouse load at dos mode. long ago I had 2.80ghz Pentium 4 478 and it ran dos games just fine on dosbox svn daum. It had Windows XP though and not 98 and dosbox was highly tweaked to use all cpu power

I have been able run few titles additional to those from steam Original Farcry runs out of box GTA San Andreas works without issue on XP My Summer car runs BUT default one is 64bit one and you need beta code (look current one at steam forum). Then right click game inside client go to beta tab, enter code then select 32bit version and let it download. After it launch game like normal. I have tested it on AMD Phenom X4 945 and nvidia 8800GTS 512mb before got current rig at 1080p and run 30-70fps on golden eye mode

Most of Microsoft store apps are just ie shell and ie no longer works nicely with sites since we moved from MS broken standards to google even more broken standards. You usually get better experience by using them on browser. If you want it work like app create seperate browser profile with fullscreen by default and site you want as your homepage. I never used spotify but as far as I know it got desktop software to Windows (non appx). Seen on on friend computer with Windows 7

I have mostly dropped using of noscript in favor of ematrix (umatrix fork for palemoon). It gives much greater control over scripts and and anything else and also works per site basis

it was something related games defaulting vga before going which I wanted or directx/opengl/directdraw forcing it own refresh rate on any game. Also can be that it drops to 16bit colors that reduced refresh rate since use 32bit on desktop. I guess forcing refresh rate using util made it work despite color depht I do have both offical steam release on Windows 7 and also original cd copies of Half-Life GOTY. I like play original on my older systems. noticed that which was nice to see old game recieving fixes still

Thank you this fixed my issue! I applied 100hz to resolutions I wanted and now when run half-life or any other game it is running 100hz according my CRT OSD display I have been trying find utility for while that can do it but trying find info today can be hard so was nice that someone knew util to do it

Yeah last time used crt was about 10 years ago and wanted one back. Flicker is bad first but I will get used to it. Also on refresh rates over 75 you wont see flicker as much. Biggest flicker was on cheap analog crt that did 56hz max. Crt do have few advantages over LCD or other flat panel. One is it can do much more resolutions and got softer image on older and even newer games.

do you have any idea what could control it on driver? On Windowed mode games run at 100hz, but not all games run Windowed On default pnp driver it allows max 85hz (tested with tnt2, ati 9200). And according crt manufacture site monitor can do following: oddly enough I had no eye strain on screen on 100hz. And I still wish to get 100hz out of it

I have annoying issue with my Windows 98 setup. Last week I got new CRT monitor to it (Mitsubishi Diamond View 1772ie) to replace flatscreen I had before. I installed monitor driver to use 100hz refresh rate at 800x600 resolution (offically supported by crt) and all been working fine expect one issue, When I launch any game that uses fullscreen (on resolution 640x480 or 800x600) refresh rate drops to 85hz. When to I close the game screen refresh rate is back to 100hz. I verified that using crt OSD. Here is specs of system that I use Gigabyte GA-60MM7 motherboard Intel Pentium 3 EB 800mhz Nvidia TNT2 M64 32mb (29.42 driver) 512mb RAM Mitsubishi Diamond View 1772ie CRT monitor So far have been trying drivers up to 41.09 without success. Also tried advanced forceware options but they had no help. NVRefreshTool would fix it but it works only works XP and upwards. Anyone knows soluction to lock it 100hz? Either Windows 98 setting tweak or third party utility. I want keep using crt and have max refresh rate on games to reduce flicker

Did you forget add context? It is not offically supported or what?

setup page specific override (general.useragent.override.discord.com) with following: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 7.0; Mobile; rv:54.0) Gecko/54.0 Firefox/54.0

That depends on personal preference and nobody can answer it. If you want to be guinea pig for Microsoft and do QA team work without payment on production system then go ahead and use Windows 11. If you want stable OS without constant changes use anything but Windows 10 or 11 (unless LTSB).

have you tried force old firefox mobile user agent? That helped on me discord desktop app uses electron and web client just uses too much js. Electron is basically Chromium wrapper to webpage to ship it as app that soydevs really loves to use instead of making native well optimised low ram consuming client.

I understood the point. Meant under hood there has been minimal different to many os. Windows nt 3.51 and nt4 were similar expect nt4 had nicer ui, Windows 95-ME was mostly same, Windows 2000 and xp were similar, Vista and 7 were similar. Windows 8 and early windows 10 were close expect win8 lacked most of telemetry and windows 10 and 11 are same spyware thing

wonder why could not have all options to chosable by end user. Linux allows you have different de and layout for example. technically it wont but I like have some eye candy (xp themes, 9x-2k custom colors, win7 aero on systems I work daily). Also UI that makes sense Microsoft own page admits it is only win10 with new look and few tools. Take look it faq. It says following. At end of day windows been same on kernel level since Windows NT

Another old nokia user . I am getting 3330 (3310 with csd) soon and was able find multiple brand spare batteries from multiple local stores still which amazes me. Same applies siemens and samsung phones from late 1990-early 2000 found spare batteries to all. Good luck trying find half decent non oem replacement to modern anti repair smart phone. I can swap battery in seconds with only using hands from every phone I own. I hope same here too. Elisa will kill 3g here soon. It is shame but not end of world as long as 2g remains. It will atleast over 2023. I assume coverage issues with 4g and amount of users still on 2g wont cause it go away. I do not want world with only smartphones, smart cars etc. ^This. I got no smartphone but can still talk to my friends even some have moved other side of planet. There was communication methods before smartphones. And if your friends are real friends they do not put you smartphone as requiment to talk They have. They have proved to hijack smart cars, hacking smartlocks, smart fridges, disabling power lines etc. to show weaknesses of them but peoples are willing to ignore all those issues because "why would someone attack me I have nothing to hide and never done anything wrong". Bot that is trying find attack surface does not care what who you are, they will try every address on range. I have had some port scanning my firewall and wonder how long smart car or other would stand it.

Also registaration is broken and board seems randomly drop or double post sent post

it is likely since office 2013 was partially cloud based and MS has closed down part of it servers. Or it is outdated. I recommend manually fully update
