  1. what do you mean online? While connected to internet? Or when logged in to ms account
  2. 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
  3. 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 sounds like server may not be up or office is outdated.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?
  4. 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
  5. there is bug with DHCP on some cards. Try set static IP. I had hang on boot on my Pentium 3 since it
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. I had same issue and this helped: of course replace nbcnews.com with whatever site
  12. this would be nice. MSFN basic function works without enabling javascript on nmatrix which is nice. Only file upload need js. Some forums that look and claim to be classic compatible refuses even shows posts unless allow js. Still could be smaller what is stupid is they wont offer rss even to paid users. I pay from few magazines and got access their web as bonus. Like said I wont have internet acess 24/7 and is nice read news offline on computer I have not browsed without nMatrix and noscript for long time for security and privacy. Iltalehti works without js but for example karjalainen (local news paper I pay) wont anymore after layout upgrade This is all you see when js disabled even if you are logged in with customer account. Article needs 4 sites worth of js to work after layout upgrade and when I contacted their feedback nothing happened. I guess will stick with paper version. but there is still some somewhat decent feeds left from Yleisradio (Public radio company funded by taxes). They got RSS feeds to multiple topics. Also YLE got teletext (with flight timetables, radiation, emergency alerts, news weather etc.) on tv and accessible over their website when I got no TV to use. It is tax funded so likely wont never pull plugs
  13. I am playing IFSCL (Simulated Fictional Interfaces Of Code Lyoko) on PC
  14. german seems not have hopped in to social media bangwagon yet luckily iltalehti rss like most rss feeds now (expect Finnish Meteorological Institute) need access to bloated website to read news article fully. I prefer read it inside newsboat or other viewer without loading anything off web. Also rss can be fecthed offline with few clicks that is useful to me when I am on move and want see day news. I know that trick. Have not yet tried way on Windows but on linux newsboat+mpv allows also watch video without distraction using rss feeds
  15. I have been having issues finding good rss feeds to read news.
  16. I will likely setup my own since like to be able control server *BZZ* I think is is *BZZ* ba*BZZ*eath*bzz* dropping*bzz*ignal . That is what I mean with NMT (analog wireless phone) call at thunder
  17. Internet downfall started with HTML5 and forcing too much of javascript and dropping many good standards. Standards started changing all the time by google resulting browsers not to work properly on sites. RSS is dead and you need use newspaper bloated webpage that needs 5 domains worth of javascript allowed to view news unless disable css that makes it look horrible. Back in old days RSS (real simple syndication) was everywhere. It is feed that had articles from site. Every news site and other had it. Even blogs did. I liked since was able load it to laptop or pda with rss viewer and read day news even when was away from internet connection. Also was able easily multiple news feeds and blogs and delete what ever articles liked (promotional or old articles. It was like social media news feed but single user, user was on full control, not controlled by single company, worked offline. Nowadays every possible Nowadays RSS feeds got only headlines when cannot read artcile with reader or feed wont exist at all. One local newspaper killed RSS feed and tells download their mobile app (basically website wrapped to electron) to read news now. Everyone uses social media now and smartphone. When I said one I got no whatsapp and should call me or text or email it to me, that person started asking why not and how much I need use them. People feels sometimes be unable be without their social media and phones even for minute. When I was young I had nokia brick that could run snake and had even built in video and audio player (whopping 128mb mmc card to files ). Thanks to price of cellular data it kept me away from it and spent actual time with friends which feels hard now. Was thinking making phone park to my house so peoples would not look their phone every third second since it beeps when visiting me since it is very annyoing. Also I miss p2p based instant messaging. Best you can do to find new simple sites is use Wiby search engine (I am not affiliated with it just found it) that only indexes simple and mostly personal sites. I found lot of sites I did not knew existed trough it. Also not to use Chromium based browsers since they are mostly made by google. I am using mypal trough all my Windows systems (since palemoon dropped classic addon support and main developer is anti XP) Yeah MSFN is pretty much best out there that is still left. I like board way of doing it, no need own name or profile picture plus can have signatures which is nice to have. Can talk with peoples all around the globe without needing have all personal data on profile. Just like in old days
  18. did they stop providing source code to client? Atleast interlink site lacks it. I am worried addon may break on future Few months ago I reported bug on mailnews and finally been able to find when happens. If I leave any IMAP folder open from either of my emails (inbox as expection) and close the client, next time it will cause something corrupt, all folders disappear and creates junk folder to server like on picture. Same also happen if try read any folder before IMAP connection intialises after start. Only way fix is restore profile backup or delete appdata. I am tired for needing to worry if forgot change view to local folder when closing client. So far tried reinstall, new profile, no addons and none helped. @roytam1 I know you lack access to source but is there any way for you to trace this bug on code
  19. here same but on winter and begins with negative digit. It causes issues on winter when moving laptop. Mostly risk to moisture and need wait until reaches room temp before can power on. Had that struggle on college. Had to bicycle to school at extreme cold with laptop. Tried best to protect it but year after college ended had multiple technical issues. Cpu was locked to max clock speed and voltage all the time for example all it needs is one important chip to fail that kills everything else
  20. I am mostly using custom desktop computers now. They are not foolproof and can have failure but can fix many of them easily. Bad cpu fan: replace fan or cooler with ones you can find from everywhere. Bad power supply: Just go to store (may not be soon thanks to ATX12V insanity to kill old hw) and buy one, bad gpu: replace it. I had constant freezing and crashing on old XP system (Phenom X4, 4GB RAM, 8800GTS) due Nvidia nForce crashed all the time making computer freeze and was able swap parts to same old chassis for new rig. Also can extend lifespan by increasing cooling or even running open chassis
  21. sounds like bad hdd and bad power brick.
  22. what failed on it? Ram, cpu or what? Old laptops had swappable cpu and you can find old processors with 10 euros or less on ebay I recommend looking refurb laptops. Can get older better quality business laptop cheaper even with XP compatible hw. Here one store sells some that can run XP mostly 2nd or 3rd gen intel
  23. On latest MailNews (Roytam 1 fork) Enigmail (used to PGP encrypt emails) plugin glitches and shows menu twice. It works but menus show twice unlike with offical mailnews
  24. I think need to have TS2 compatible server since new one just errors out and refuses to connect on old version anything that sounds more clear than NMT phone during thunderstorm is good quality to me. And older codecs were more cpu friendly
  25. you can make grub work with secure boot and can use grub to load Windows. Of course that is not easy task and will need lot of work unless will also run linux. Manually doing it requires to have secure boot keys
