  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Did you forget add context? It is not offically supported or what?
  7. 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
  8. 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).
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. Also registaration is broken and board seems randomly drop or double post sent post
  14. 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
  15. what do you mean online? While connected to internet? Or when logged in to ms account
  16. good I am not last person on earth who think browser is application that download html documents over internet and renders them to screen not application platform I have blocked javascript on old browsers for good reason. I have heard and used wiby.me engine. How does it different from it? I have not had time setting my own site but when will it will use XHTML that is working with almost everything. It XHTML sites can even render on old PDA/other mobile device browsers usually
  17. What os? Windows 10 x64.? Also tell build number of windows and office. Then what config on second second system?. Did you do fresh install of office on both or other had it already? sounds like server may not be up or office is outdated. Can you manually update it?
  18. It is likely related to google and Yahoo server side things. Both treat third party clients as insecure. Good to know it is also on thunderbird and that deleting imapmail helps usually
  19. there is bug with DHCP on some cards. Try set static IP. I had hang on boot on my Pentium 3 since it
  20. Lenovo business grade equipments are good. Thinkpads are still tank for example. Just avoid cheap consumer grade plastic things. Those wont last over warranty period. That applies both desktops and laptops. I got experience from them
  21. I use my cell phone and computer (even laptop) together. Hooked to pc using nokia pc suite can send sms, send flash messages, share internet off mobile when need send email on road. Phone is mostly to call and sms. I do not see why some say choose cell phone or desktop/laptop not both. thinclients that mostly got VIA cpu. If you do not care about grafic performance they are good. Some of them allow hook external gpu
  22. I got 6 of those bulky desktops and few sff systems. Indeed they can cheap. I got cooler master ammo 533 chassis with asus m2n sli deluxe mainboard, Amd Phenom 2 x4 945 cpu, 2x2gb ram, nvidia 8800gts and 8800gts 512 gpu 4 years ago for 35 euros. That rig mainboard however had bug related to Windows XP where it would randomly freeze. It was nforce bug. Was able to find replacement easily to it and most of old parts are usable still to other rainy day project. I have one of these (Hp elitedesk 800 G1) between my main machines that are hooked to KVM. For size it is very good on performance, I can run virtualisation with it. and it is silent and can have any 2.5" hdd and got swappable low power desktop cpu. It runs devuan linux now but can handle Windows too. Companies sell those away here (yes most stuff I got is used from companies or invaludals). Lenovo and asus got similar too. You can also find ones that can run XP with 4th gen intel cpu
  23. if you plan use it on desk why not get desktop pc. There is good used parts market and I am running 2014 parts on my XP rig usually usb c and need have dongles to everything ^ This. I got Digital venturis desktop from 1994 still working. Also got working commondore 64 even that is very old.
  24. i got Pihole that does it better but could try it. Did not it even think it could be that causing issue. I will try it
  25. I had same issue and this helped: of course replace nbcnews.com with whatever site
