  1. Please switch to another provider. It's the embodiment of modern web design hell. Requires a recent version of Chrome to work properly, downloads the entire file into RAM, and evidently y'know, isn't going to be nice on legacy systems. At all. JDownloader2 is also not the solution. It's a horribly cobbled up piece of software with a malware-esque installer, written in a language developed currently by a company that is beyond untrustable when it comes to the FOSS scene (messing up everything they've touched except VirtualBox essentially), and for some reason it won't bother to respond to half the UI options. Maybe it's just me. Sorry, this is absolutely necessary it's something that's really been bugging me for ages, hence the whole thing originally being in capitals... It's also worth noting MEGA is really popular in the software piracy community because its owner basically doesn't care, it offers a lot of storage for a free platform that doesn't bother to monitor its files and it comes from MegaUpload's owner so yeah, ethics here are 'making money off a bad user service for direct downloads of pirated content' once again. Like its predecessor it's equally garbage, it seems, I remember MegaUpload years and years ago back when the main 3 were it, RapidShare and MediaFire, only the last of which still exists and is actually a pretty viable alternative upload site these days since it still works over HTTP, isn't too horrible ad-wise compared to the likes of its old ilk from back then, etc. Alternatives I can think of MediaFire (this one works over HTTP in fact); Dropbox (remember to link with the parameter ?dl=1 as older browsers would just break); Yandex.Disk (using a HTTP web proxy will let you DL files even in IE8 really easily); Google Drive (not a fan because Google monopolises everything but hey); zz.ht (for smaller files ~100MiB as the owner messed stuff up, is based off pomf software)
  2. They're also the only browser that can do quoting in Discord correctly. Every other browser inserts random line breaks between the usernames in compact mode, which is highly annoying and something that won't be fixed because of the 90% market share Chrome has. A lot of other modern websites of such tend to hate optimising for anything but Chrome for the same reason. It's IE6 all over again.
  3. I've got a slipstreamed ISO with all updates up to April 2017, Replaced the DLLs in question with those of your extended kernel using a live Linux distro and it says something about an ordinal not found error in shell32.dll (899 I think) Also where's osloader.efi and such supposed to go? There's no equivalent to a few of these in system32
  4. LOL relatable, usually everything is broken in Gecko browsers these days and you're (more politely than the way I'm putting it) told to fuсk off and use Chrome if something isn't working.
  5. Well thank goodness the site has a noJS fallback either way, just go and disable it. The mere fact this hasn't been looked into is kinda dumb regardless, is the site's administration sitting around drinking while we keep F5'ing their site with more requests?
  6. I can't tell if this is good advice or not given how irritating their drivers are but I mean at least they tend to work seeing as they're a Taiwanese company that seem to have a good track record for supporting old OSes for years and years.
  7. I nearly thought this was a spambot. Could be an external asset being loaded over current TLS 1.3 specification that's failing to load, or using JS tricks not present in any current browser. Mypal and NewMoon-RT probably won't be too much different btw, same browser engine ultimately which is effectively a fork of Firefox 38's and isn't honestly much of an improvement over Gecko 52 most of the time even on more modern hardware
  8. They might be referring to BobPony's WSUSOffline backup from April 2017 but I'm really not sure, I'm not linking directly to it because there's other stuff on it but I used it and it works fine I guess it's useful for avoiding that 6003 crаp
  9. my writing style is 'pad pad pad' and I hate it, delete this post
  10. is it bad I'm laughing because of the way you wrote this and that I would have responded the same in your position
  11. Well, looks like I'll have to get out of here then. (Having whatever weird mental stuff that goes on to give me identity ambiguity and the tendency to run away and come back to sites regardless of what I've done over offsite things is... more than a pain to deal with, it's a genuine nightmare for everyone else) As for why I don't want to specifically detail anything, there's really not much point raking up loads and loads of old, irrelevant drama in public in great detail because it's just opening up for worse things to spiral around I guess.
  12. This this this this this. I cannot stress how much this matters as new equipment is such a pain to get a hold of for lesser developed countries and donated hardware/etc isn't going to be top notch so in the case of countries where the average user doesn't have access to lots of money or needs money for more important stuff in life than a new PC, or for people who just don't need to be spending on new things all the time (also don't forget, people living on benefits alone for instance who are not fit to work in more developed countries or in some other bad financial situation, which kind of applies to myself because I live in shared accomodation). As arrogant as the upstream developers are being about these type of projects I see no problem with you @roytam1 forking their stuff, backporting it to run on older hardware and essentially in turn possibly doing the world a favour with that too. Also @Gansangriff I love how meticulously cropped that computer photo is lol.
  13. All those accounts are the same person, it's not a conspiracy. I should know, I made them all in the first place (me and the accounts I linked in the last post are all the same person); as for the 'user harrassments' those happened off site anyways but involve multiple people in surrounding circles mostly pertaining to customisation of Windows XP/Vista. It's not as big of a deal as I'm making out, I could just ask for the accounts to be merged by an administrator I guess which at least lets me re-edit anything I messed up on, dunno if that messes stuff up though. Not really in the mood to ask for a ban or anything even despite the rule-breaking behaviour, the offsite activity I displayed elsewhere is sort of irrelevant anyways.
  14. That's the same one I had lol, the AOA150 ZG5 in blue!
  15. I genuinely wonder what was written here. The OP's identity is very very obvious from their choice of username (the name of a song that person likes), they've got multiple accounts spread across the forums: @Chociu @IceFairyAmy @ScarletWavez @CosmoDreamy @MintChocAero @Jeyneko @digzu @pinkmoon89 @SRainharp also possibly some other aliases they used? There's multiple outside reports of user harassment from this individual and they have a long history of being unable to stick to one account presumably due to this so be careful. (Unfortunately I have to admit I'm also even the same person, so...)
  16. And how damn well glad I am that someone like you exists in this world of paltry-paid, mostly South Asian and Eastern European based 'webdevs' that make up so much of the modern web's horrible design since big countries can treat developing ones and ones with messed up politics like even more crap in the guise of getting them a job.
  17. Oh, a dude from Northern Ireland? Hey, I'm from England (southeast) with ROI heritage... your website is interesting, to say the least lmfao. For a future page put the intro of this song on it on loop: m6-MBmTBfKg (best song ever xdd)
  18. Yeah, this is a good resource. Mind telling me your netbook model (most of those had the exact same specs, so no need to say them)? I wonder if we owned the same one back then, honestly nowadays they genuinely make pretty decent XP machines given their support for SSE2, even if their graphics support is beyond lacking to say the least lol (Graphics Media Decelerator heh)
  19. I mean is most of the modern web even worth reading though, which is more fat than function? I saw one idea from someone here who ran a web browser on another machine and connected to it remotely, which was pretty damn smart of an idea :P
  20. Shame... I was just grabbing at straws since I don't really know this stuff myself, heh - I mess with NT 6.0 more.
  21. Firefox tends to work more reliably from what I can tell. Besides, real ESR versions actually exist for it unlike Chrome, and I'd prefer not to support the Chrome monopoly regardless.
  22. I never got that one working properly (albeit that was ages ago), was there anything specific you did?
  23. You'd need to create a batch script of some sort from the exe's you have already, I've never done this before however, so can't really give you any advice. I imagine it would be relatively trivial of a task to generate new lines to install silently every 'windowsxp-kbWHATEVER-x86' update executable in the folder with some kind of regex to fill in the info more easily. On a side note I'm quite sure you can slipstream individual update files into an XP image using nLite. Presuming you still have original install media that isn't damaged or hacked about with, you could try that as well and save time after install too Always test things like that in a VM or secondary partition though first to save hassling on real hardware or your main partition :p
  24. Yeah, happens in a lot of scenarios, for example also in the car industry (Renault Avantime anyone?) and how nowadays in music we don't get the likes of B-sides normally from most Western bands... heck even the idea of bands is going as social media wants it all to be about one person at the spotlight of a creation, I feel. Grant Nicholas from Feeder has mentioned this a few times, about how deep down we do want to be united like a band, but society basically tells us to show off only individually, especially nowadays. Went offtopic there but yeah, self-held and generally-held attitudes to things changing over time, good/bad memories, etc. can really greatly affect others' opinions, aggression on beliefs with certain subjects, and experiences.
  25. I forgot about that one. And yeah, I noticed that trend creeping in on software, to not bother drawing using the native UI format. One of the reasons GUI-based Linux bugs me is that things can get pretty horribly inconsistent without a lot of fiddling about (no idea why buttons/dialogue boxes/colours and such annoy me so much when they don't align right)
