  1. The first piece of potential incompatibility I see in the specs is the presence of an NVMe.
  2. So far in my experience, Windows 11 is way worse than Windows 10. Mostly from a usability standpoint. While I have changed to Windows 10 on 2 computers now, I don't see myself changing to Windows 11 unless they fix some issues. First of all, 100% of my Win11 experience so far has been in offline or segregated networks. The UX is extremely slow and some portions do not even work. For example if I were to open an Explorer window (in any way you can think of doing it, like putting c: in the run box, doesn't matter) it will open a blank white window for about 3-4 minutes before it actually will show you the contents of the thing you are looking at. Be is c: or Libraries, doesn't seem to matter. I've considered running a trace on explorer to see what it is trying to do.
  3. Many times, the compatibility or requirements text on a peripheral speaks directly to any particular software that the vendor has for the device, either packaged with it or from their website. And the OSes listed also tie directly to their support policy. As we know, not supported doesn't mean it doesn't work.
  4. This forum is English only. Edit your post to translate to English. I have already renamed the topic title.
  5. Now will be the time to revisit and validate any archiving that needs to be done.
  6. Not sure where this topic was supposed to go (it was posted into GD), if it is wrong, we can move it again later.
  7. I had used KB2868725, KB4474419 v3 and KB4490628 The system is completely isolated on the network so it can't do things like update the root certificate list. Which I did download but there is no instruction on how to use it. I had gotten the link from Event Viewer as a log was made every time I looked at the cert on the file in question. These updates made that event log go away also.
  8. I suppose it depends on what they mean by "less secure technology" If you are using POP3 or IMAP I have doubts that their servers can tell what client you are using.
  9. Don't post about politics or wars on MSFN, do that on other forums.
  10. A little from both, I have now resolved this issue. It is weird because I'm certain I had previously installed some SHA2 support on that system already. I can read the certs now on the driver but still having an issue using them, it must be unrelated.
  11. I am having some difficulty working with a driver because the countersignature cannot be read, and that uses SHA384. I read one various sites, such as this: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/44f02720-ec1d-4ddd-a985-b1d1f23488ea/needed-2-ciphers-in-windows-7 That Windows 7 does not support SHA384 officially, but I was wondering if there is any known way of being able to read these types of certificates.
  12. At home, I only use 2 browsers (well IE is ever present) and they are Palemoon and Chrome. And that is a 32bit PC with 4 GB RAM, and it has been for a couple years now I can say that 4 GB on 32bit is not ideal for using the web for long periods of time. The two main examples I can give is that Chrome on Facebook will work for about 5-10 minutes before a tab crashes because it runs out of memory. The other sites I use don't have that issue but they do not use a continuous feed like Facebook does. As a result, I have dropped my Facebook usage down considerably, now to the point of not being aware of events that are occuring. (It happened to me that I happened to have gone to a place that had an event I was invited to but didn't know, and the event was occuring then. But of course I was late.) Palemoon never had a tab crash but I don't use a continuous site on it like FB. Instead over long periods of time, a memory leak or memory issue still will occur, but the result is that the browser will stop loading images after a period of time. In either of the cases of the browsers having memory issues, they go away once I close the browser. Sometimes I have to kill the process in Task Manager. This 32bit PC is the one that is never rebooted. I will have to change the configuration of that computer eventually, I'm just not sure how I want to go about doing it.
  13. There is way too much propaganda and lies about this conflict to know what is real and what isn't. Even the so-called truths, the tactics used by Russia make no sense. I have severe doubts that Putin and/or all of the Russian military are incompetant so there must be some reason things are working out this way that we may never know.
  14. The markup validator works properly on your site so I can't point out an example of what I mean. Validator will ignore the presence of duplicate singular tags such as Doctype, HTML, Body, Head. The browsers do this also, but they didn't use to. These tags which are only supposed to appear once happen because includes (especially from external source) will have them. For the CSS validator, it should be tripping up on duplicate selectors that occur when sites use multiple external linked CSS and/or inline CSS within html but it doesn't. As soon as it became apparent that the rigidity of browsers went away was when I stopped writing webpages. I had come from a time when the browsers actually expected correct code and no shortcuts and if you did something wrong, it wouldn't work.
  15. For Civ V, are you trying to open the launcher or the game directly? If my timeline is correct, the game used to open to a Civ V game menu, but after some update it opens a launcher which connects to the internet and shows ads, etc.
  16. There is nothing more to be said here.
  17. Added Windows 11 and the 3 main Server OS (2016, 2019, 2022). There was a clear effort in the past to have many different editions of previous OS, but I do not know whether it should be added for the newer versions. When Windows 10 was added, it was just x86 and x64, no Core or Pro options. I don't know how crazy people want to get, whether we should be adding things like Windows 10 Pro for Workstations or Windows 10 Pro National Academic High End or Windows 11 Home Advanced options.
  18. Don't really care about market share. We don't need to organise the forum based on real world events. And also try not to make changes just for the sake of making changes. For a design standpoint, the primary portion of a forum index should reside within 1 screens worth of space on a standard system, and MS Software Products section fits into that space. If we had to add another section, such as if a Windows 12 comes out or something, then we will think about moving a section into a sub-section.
  19. Tables being used for tabular data was always the best practice and something that was in every learning HTML or web design book you'd ever find. Well back when books were the go-to way to learn these things. Obviously we should be aware that the modern web developer is not using the best practices of making a website. It is hard to find an actual good website these days, and why should people feel obligated to make them? The browsers still allow bad code and even the online validators are not good either.
  20. The forum is not bound by what is and isn't supported. Windows 7 is a top-level sub-forum due to the activity. It has come up in private discussion to move it, the question was then: why? There is no harm to keep it the way it is.
  21. Well the measures that were undertaken in the US (and are still ongoing in some places) are the unorthodox responses, not what you have posted. Also there is a misnomer in regards to the term "natural immunity" which is not being used appropriately. It is the same type of situation where people misuse the term retro to mean anything old rather than being something new designed to look or feel old. Natural immunity is an immunity granted through passing down genetic traits through generations, you can't achieve it during your lifetime but it is something your children or further down can "acquire" when they are born. Natural immunity for any new disease exists but is extremely rare, it is where you have an innate immunity and the disease does not effect you. You can still be a carrier. In fact look into disease carriers in the animal world for examples of natural immunity whereas a rat can spread a disease but not get sick from it. What people are talking about when they misuse the term natural immunity is acquired immunity, which is natural, but could be said to be naturally acquired immunity. That is where your immune system fights off a disease and is able to recognise it. And sure, we could have gotten to that point much earlier if nothing was done but there is a large amount of social pressure put upon "leaders" by people who do not understand the laws of nature and macro level of society. The idea that any one person can be responsible for death due to a disease or that all people can be saved are extreme viewpoints but are a common theme in talks by government, media or on social media. The "if you do/do not do x, then people will die and you are a bad person" whereas humans do not have the ability to actually control these types of things at the macro level and we cannot (yet) defy the law of nature. You can't save everyone and it is natural (and normal) for some people to die if they get sick. And then the "logical" rebuttal to your proposal would have to be then how many more or less people would have died if there was no extraordinary response to the discovery of the disease? For people who think you can save everyone, there is no answer that is acceptable to them.
  22. Why delete when we can move!
  23. Doing that, and now I can get to Twitter without it crashing. I did see there was some twitter URLs in there, you think there was just something that was cached that was causing the issue, or that there is still something left that must be done?
  24. I did other testing, when using the Private Browsing window I can go to twitter without a problem, and it uses the same extensions I listed above except for HTTPS Everywhere. Regular browsing with HTTPS Everywhere disabled doesn't stop it from crashing so it doesn't seem like it is caused by that.
