So you aren't gonna share with people here?
-
The dev needs proper motivation, I fully support it. Is there a comparison somewhere with and without the "plus" (paid) package. Thanks.
-
Thank you! Very interesting facts from a fellow MSFNer! It's no wonder that spyware replaces those original Windows files. wzcsvc.dll (Wireless Zero Configuration Service) - convenient to send additional hidden data via side channels (a well known way of stealing data). shimgvw.dll (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) convenient to view and make screengrabs of what you do on your PC. There are multiple official governmental warnings against using that software. -
Oh, how could I forget to tell?!? I even saved a bricked GPU that wasn't recognized as a GPU anymore, I had to short the dedicated pins (while it was booting up), it cleared out the chip off the remnants of the invalid BIOS someone stupidly flashed on it, so I was able to re-flash with the original. Probably it will work for the router, too.
-
The original BIOS was nowhere to be found, and the one I used was meant as an "update", so I used it. I had nothing to lose anyways.
-
I once had a case where the lightning bricked the device's BIOS, and I was able to resurrect it with magic flashing a new BIOS version from within DOS environment.

Chrome 110-based Opera - I ported it to Vista.
D.Draker replied to D.Draker's topic in Windows Vista
And yeah, if win32 wishes to know what I fixed, please get in touch via PM. The information is not be shared with 3rd parties. The result is good, but I still want to improve it more, As of now, it still feels heavy on a low end PC with 4GB of RAM. 8GB and more - very good. -
Chrome 110-based Opera - I ported it to Vista.
D.Draker replied to D.Draker's topic in Windows Vista
Some two weeks ago, I fixed the awful memory leak in Rabinovitcsh's Opera "cr+ck". I was willing to hesitate posting about it due to the fact it needed to be tested properly, and I only use Opera on occasion. -
I'm seeing it as a pattern, 85 was very light and fast, 86 a bit heavier, then a long row of heavy versions followed, starting from 108 it got better again. As of now, I only see some improvement in 122. But it's too new for valve.
-
Looks more like the real reason to choose 109 is simply because it's lighter on system resources, not that they actually care about Win8, just my opinion.

I'm sorry, I only used XP for no more than a month in 2006, but the below solution should actually work for older OS, even 32bit ones. This is what I sometimes use for my own custom drivers' signing. The procedure is described in details, Seeing you, Dave, have an Win 10 installation, it shouldn't be a problem to do it there, and then use the signed driver on your XP. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs/blob/staging/windows-driver-docs-pr/devtest/tools-for-signing-drivers.md

What happens if you sign the driver with my solution? System level signing is, like explained in this topic... Install the driver. Sign before reboot! "permanently bypass driver signature verification" https://msfn.org/board/topic/185975-got-vista-to-run-on-nvme-with-one-of-george-kings-drivers-but-its-unsigned-any-way-to-permanently-bypass-driver-signature-verification-at-boot/

Enter the BIOS, Switch off "Attempt to fix sporadic PCI errors" , or whatever they call it in your BIOS. It helped me when my sound card was conflicting with my LAN card. It too hanged up on the BIOS title screen.
-
It works with Vista x64, x86, I checked myself. Though, it can't boot from it. I have a classic BIOS from 2009 (without films and games in it).

Here's a fully working ASM1061 PCI-E Cards to SATA 3.0 with two internal ports, works with Vista without any additional drivers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355467151767 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126046738088 Manufacturer claims full support. https://www.asmedia.com.tw/product/77BYq58SX3HyepH7/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5

Well, I think I was the first one to point out to that questionable connections, and yes, I remember you checked them. but what puzzles me, I have the same card, I can post pictures (in case of doubts). I use it on a similar to your motherboard (Siemens with Xeon), the same year of manufacturing I guess, I have almost zero troubles with it, apart from it overloading, my PCI express when I copy the files and play a game, all at once, I wrote about it. I use it in conjunction with 6TB drivers. No errors at all. But I'm on Vista.
-
I totally agree with jaclaz, I had numerous troubles, and not only with those chinocrap cables, but also with their poorly soldered fittings. Those may be oxidized, degraded, and even faulty right from the start.

Hi, I'm curios, do you use the below function, as a die-hard Firefox user. Preferably better to reply there, thanks. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186026-further-encrypting-firefox-traffic-with-hybrid-kyber-kem-which-they-claim-to-be-more-secure/ Please don't forget to vote.

Need USB drivers for Nokia 7 Plus - Win10 x32/64; WinXP x32/64

You're welcome, don't hesitate to write again! -
Replace capacitors. Use only good ones like Philips, Rubycon (be aware that Ebay is flooded with fakes). I had a similar problem with my monitor (weird response to commands from the front panel). Replaced caps - all went back to normal.
-
The trend goes on, unfortunately. All ports I've seen so far - all are not Ungoogled. Supermium still has lots of connections to Google, despite the flags that had been introduced. Probably a good idea to block such IPs in batches.
-
Thanks for the advice! No need (at least as of now), I live off my military pension, but it's quite enough (we have them high in France), I also have private contracts, but in that case it would be easier to just move to github then. Like win32 already did. Easy to add payment options, etc.

What about people who work for MSFN for free? Creating content for MSFN for free. Couple a days ago I gave a modded driver to a fella for free, so, in other words, probably also a good idea to start charging MSFN? Or charge the users that get our direct help?

Personally I think we should actually get rid of the crap/fake posters/reposers/copy pasters. More specifically, I think we need to have some sort of approval before posting, he's just angry because I caught him several times with his misleading information and errors, but instead of saying thank you, he just insults and reports me. For example, it would be wise to have @jaclaz among the posts' inspection commission.
