An interesting (or annoying) thing started happening on 12/20/2021 (as best I can tell) is that if I try to visit any page on twitter (an individual tweet or just twitter.com) then the tab will crash. Some twitter embeds (that aren't being blocked by extensions, such as those that appear on substack or some other pages) do appear inline on non-twitter sites and cause no problem, but i never tried to click on any of those embeds. There doesn't seem to be any way I can determine as to why the crash is happening. Having inspector open then trying to go to twitter doesn't show anything useful unless I am not looking at the right things. Now this is Firefox Quantum 69.0.3 (64-bit) and these extensions: - DDGo Privacy Essentials - HTTPS Everywhere - NoScript - uBlock Origin - Web Developer If I go into about:crashes, I can see a list of the crashes. All are listed under Unsubmitted. If I try to submit one it says failed. I know I can find these actual crash files, is there a program that I can open the dump files in or are they usable in windbg? It is not critical to fix this issue with twitter, as I can use another browser to look at those links. I just don't like having an error occuring and not knowing why it is happening.

KB895961 looks to be in KB900325 ref: https://msfn.org/board/topic/73305-rollup-and-hotfix-solution/ cat: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB900325 KB954920 seems very specific, are you sure you need it? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/8aa4ef7e-a9b3-4137-1457-4327c68bba48 For the others, try searching this forum, or if on the web try something besides google.

I fully expect to have to change to a "Windows 10" at some point but I hope there is still going to be many years (or never) before Steam artificially blocks Windows 7 like they did with XP.

You certainly would have gotten a warning for 7a had this post got reported. This isn't a free-for-all section, we will have no issue with shutting this thread if things get too carried away.

Javascript is just a language. I think the article is written poorly with this exception: In order to remove liability for the state systems, they would obviously want to halt the use of third-party or cross-site includes. Which (of course) had been the motto of web development over 20 years ago. But anyways, if an entity with a website were to be sued or involved in a legal matter, they would have no control over scripts from other websites but do have control on putting them on their website. If they cannot provide documentation or the source of those includes (they would need to get permission from the site it is linked to) then they would be in violation of that particular provision. So to me, I do not think it would mean that they couldn't use javascript anymore, but rather not be using javascript made by someone else.

It would not be my first guess, no. Having previously worked in large networking environments and seeing the behaviours of people/corporations, these things just happen. Certainly they happen for the wrong reasons... aka we should have all learned by now that blocking IP addresses is a waste of time and should only be used as a last resort*. Yet companies still do it. The reasons why things get blocked is for various reasons. Sometimes there are automated systems involved that get overzealous. One example that I am sure you are aware is instances where emails from x domain either get blocked or filtered into spam for no apparent reason. Like the multitude of times that people with hotmail emails could not send or receive to other emails because hotmail was also being used by spammers, and poorly designed security products would block the domain. Having had worked in an ISP I had seen multiple times the automated anti-spam system blocking entire domains. Now whether an IP is being blocked or a domain is unknown to the user. It is also unknown to the user what is actually doing the blocking, especially with the overly bloated websites of today with 20+ external scripts, some of which are required for rendering a page properly. Any one of those could be blocking an IP range, a domain or any other various thing for a multitude of reasons. * There does not seem to be any public post besides some anecdotes regarding the time we blocked the entirety of Poland over 10 years ago due to relentless spam.

Be aware of forum rules against politics. Your post and title has been edited.

A mole hill would be a better metaphor rather than an exploding building.

Hmm think about looking at SATA DOM instead or even SATA SSD on M2 socket. Both of those are typically faster spec than regular SATA on SSD port.

Changed topic title, deleted the dupe/blank posts. Split the "Dude" conversation into Funny farm. https://msfn.org/board/topic/183264-dude/

Best to just be nice to everyone here to be safe. The forum rules are for direct talking but Vistapocalypse didn't use it that way. The word dude has some different types of meaning to different people. In general in the US it is just used towards everyone and no one cares about it. How it can be used in other countries and which of the historical "definitions" or connotations it is associated with I don't know. Such as if the word became known in x country to relate to one of the old meanings such as "person from city/out of their element" and then that country did not go through the word progression that happened in the US, then many TV and movies from US use the term, there may be a different understanding in that country. But in general "dude" is casual speak and can work everywhere but in a professional or corporate environment. As such, there are some people who take offense to the word dude, typically professionals and those in corporate environments, doctors or government people. But no issue for anyone to call anyone dude on the forum.

To be clear, what you are looking for are likely NKRO (No Keyboard Roll Over) keyboards, although likely a 6KRO would be enough. The issue is that this was a feature that isn't documented and it seems the only reason why there is a list of known KRO keyboard capabilities is because people have been testing various models themselves. https://member.keymusician.com/Help/KeyboardsSupportingMultipleKeys.html Also according to a post on stackexchange, the IBM Model M is 2KRO as opposed to the IBM Model F which is NKRO. https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/6669/how-do-i-remove-the-limit-on-pc-keyboard-button-presses

It looks like I will finally get started to make some Windows 11 images after getting a few more things from Microsoft. Apparently the Windows 10 National Academic version has reached EOL (End of License) so it cannot be purchased, and if someone wants the NA product they need to get the Windows 11 version.

Floaters are normal. When asked by eye doctor in the past if I had them, the answer of yes that relates to the two quotes you put are not of a concern. Now there is a concern if they are impairing your vision or you can seem them all of the time. That is how it is explained to me the difference. I had first noticed them when I was a kid when I was sick a lot, laying on the couch or bed and staring at random things. You can have flashing of lights for various reasons also but again it is only a problem if it is happening constantly or for extended periods of time. But an eye doctor can tell what the dark spot is, something like that should not stay for more than 10 minutes or so. You could have a burn, the same thing that can happen if you look at the sun.

Posts in Funny Farm section does not increase post count. PS: I'm a member of a forum that uses badges and they had badges for "posts in a day" such as 10, 100, 250, 500 and 1000. I think on that forum no one got to 1000 posts in a day but I did manage to get 500 posts in a day. But since multiple members attempted the 500 posts in a day badge on the same day, the Admin decided that giving a badge for 500 (or 1000) posts in a day was a bad idea.

We can't all be everywhere and we all have our own favorite sections or threads to read. If you mean Xper, he can be summoned when there is a big problem to solve and he would fall into the category of "web site admin" as you put it. But he is not active in the forum as you can tell and also he is not active in being a hobbyist anymore either. So there may be little reason for him to decide to put in the time and effort to make a change for an older OS or "obscure" browser version.

Done

@Win10-Hater The forum is not a blog so your post was merged here. The only other place you can post something like this is in your intro thread (if you have one) or as a status update on your profile.

The (relative) Extensions I have on this are: - DDG Privacy Essentials - HTTPS Everywhere - NoScript - UBO

Love these tests. My results. Iron 77.0.4000.0 x64: 24/38 red Iron with UBO installed: 23/38 red Firefox 69.0.3 x64: test doesn't run with js disabled (my default state) Firefox (same) with js enabled for xsinator.com only: 3/38 red (with 10 gray/loading state)

Log4j might be another issue entirely. One in which the vulnerability was known years ago, but the fixes seem to have been to fix the particular attack vectors that have been published. It seems that the 3 people who work on that particular portion only really lept into action once the exploit was made (in)famous on Minecraft especially server instances. It seems all of these are relevant to the current CVE as they are all about doing the same thing but using different vectors. But who knew you could just paste a string into the Minecraft console and get it to work. https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-16/materials/us-16-Munoz-A-Journey-From-JNDI-LDAP-Manipulation-To-RCE.pdf https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-5645 https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-17531/ But auto updates is always a bad thing, especially those programs that update to incompatible versions. In regards to modern Windows where disabling updates is more of a pain, I've recently been experimenting with blocking all Microsoft IPs/domains on a firewall and it seems to work alright. The obvious issue is that some websites can no longer be used, but I am doing this for 10 interfaces.

Just to play old flash content. There are some CDs that use Flash so archivists would still need it, or people who are just going through old CDs.

One would think that a good art thief or forger would be one that doesn't get caught immediately. The art thief analogy would be closer to one where the thief goes up to the painting, at the busy time of the museum's day, with no concern for hiding themselves from security or other people, just walks up and tries to take it from the wall.

The topic title is incorrect. As far as I can tell, they just removed the amount of dislikes that a video has received. The dislike button is still present and usable and presumably the uploader can still see how many dislikes there are.
