Of course you can expect new errors. It is because not all programs will use the environment variables in order to path to files. The safest place for known files that end up in the "wrong" place is to keep those files in the working or source dir of the exe. For example, if there is some program built for x86 that wants to use files in "system32" (but would hit up against some unsupported 64bit file) OR you want to say... run a program that requires an old version of a file (or a file from an older OS) then put it in the working dir. If the program is launched from a shortcut, and has a specified working dir, you can use that. You can use process monitor, attached to an .exe to see the search path for files on startup. Usually you will see an .exe look for files in the same dir that the .exe is in, but not be found. But again, this is only if the program is using relative paths. If it is using absolute paths, then it may be difficult to workaround.

Another thing on the horizon of compatibility nightmares, programs or games being developed using Windows 10 specific APIs. While a program or game may list Windows 7 in the minimum system requriements, not everything will work correctly. Let us take for example, Borderlands 3, which runs fine on Windows 7. For audio it supports two mode: Stereo or Spatial Sound. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/spatial-sound Essentially Atmos or headphones only. There is some patch history concerning Borderlands 3. Using an actual Dolby 5.1 soundcard, when the game launched it played some sounds in the wrong speakers. After this first patch, the surround worked properly. After the most recent patch, it runs in "surround" mode but utilizing stereo (front left, front right) only. Is there any known wrappers to allow Spatial Sound (or emulated Atmos) to work on SoundBlaster 5.1 cards?

Sorry, by EOS I meant end of sale... which is the "Extended" period that included OEM Facilitated Downgrade Rights (Buy Win 10, get Win 7 installed). I do not remember exactly how long ago it was, I wanted to say 2 years but that seems to be too long.

There had been numerous reports of Win7s automatically upgrading to Windows 10 ever since it became a thing. I haven't seen any reports of it since Windows 7 went EOS.

I actually have one of those RAM packs, the 16K equivalent for the Timex Sinclair 1000... A system before my time, and even with the advancements available for it today, a system I decided not to bother doing anything with.

Someone else has been trying this path it seems https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/b698865f-f17a-4379-866f-833f6567320d/msdn-broken-download-link-where-to-find-the-quotmicrosoft-internationalized-domain-name-idn?forum=libraryfeedback BUT, we at least know a filename: idndlpackage.EXE It is not in the Update Catalog. It is not in MSDN that I can find.

Even with a default "full" install, the Embedded OSes often leave some piece out, and then again there are SKU specific add-ons required in some instances.

My first computer was an Apple IIc. My second was (I think) an IBM PS/2 Model 80.

Remember that this is not XP, it is POSReady 2009. There are differences and it cannot be expected that programs (or even MS updates) for XP will work properly with it.

We don't really have a collector section, probably due to no transactions being allowed. Although I'm sure many of us collect hardware as well. It seems to me that it is easier to collect than use, since the time required to use is so high.

Low footprint on system is the main selling point to me. They stayed true to the roots of GIANT, which I was using for the same reasons before MS bought them.

If by "unportable" you are meaning that if a portable exe is on a computer, if it is copied to a different location or onto another drive or computer then it won't function... then yes. There are multiple ways to approach it, one would involve modifying the portable program itself, which may not be allowed under license. Another option is to write a wrapper. This wrapper would do the following: 1. Check against some data on the local system (look for a file, contents of a file, WMI/DMI, etc) before execution. 2. If pass, then extract the portable exe into memory. 3. Execute exe from memory. In this scenario, the wrapper contains the portable exe within itself and the original program does not exist separately. There would have to be some work to determine how to get the exe into memory and/or whether or not to make use of temp files as installers do. NOTE: this is a theory post. I have not made a wrapper like this before, and this is just one example of how it could be accomplished.

It is possible. Recently, gfycat had announced it was deleting large portions of posts and the Archive team took to the task of backing up the site. Whatever their methods, it ended up causing bandwidth issues for them and they got their lawyers involved. https://twitter.com/textfiles/status/1192518085997137920

Welcome to the MSFN!

Discord is the de-facto chat replacement of the modern age. Other similar programs still exist, such as Arrow Chat, but they are usually used as site-specific chat rooms.

It is just an emergency check-in thread. We could look into getting a thread at Reboot or in the AutoIT forum (two I can think of with some existing membership crossover).

I haven't seen it yet.

I'd say that I am rather attached to noscript (as well as not updating) so, after finding out that current versions of Palemoon do not work with noscript, it means eventually I will be finding a new browser at home. I had tried to use palemoon on my rebuilt work computer, and found out the plugin incompatibility, so I am using regular old Firefox.

That is just a video, why not post a link to the site? https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 Any computer with a properly configured firewall can pass this test. I don't see why the OS matters.

In my experience, it was the low level courses you could use the calculator but not the high level ones. Its a bit backwards in my opinion. Then again most yuthhhs aren't taking Technical Physics anyways.

In my collegiate and professional experience, the math that is taught is not necessarily required. It highly depends on what job you'll end up taking up after getting out of college. However, the school has no control over where a person may end up. I believe that the emphasis that is put upon math, at least in the way that it is taught, does not line up with the real world even when I had gone. There is no reason why a student should need to have to memorize formulas, or have to take a test without a calculator, penalize people for ditching fractions and/or using a brand of calculator other than Texas Instruments. Then again, you have to also remember that the math courses you are taking in college are not specific to your major. They are general purposes courses that people from multiple majors can take. Those who end up in math heavy professions will gain more from those classes than those who do not. I can only speak for the college that I had gone to, but their CS courses did not include the digital logic courses and labs that were part of the electronics majors. While I ended up going to college for something I ended up not doing professionally, those digital logic courses helped me way more in my programming life than any of the math courses.

It may be XP Embedded Enterprise.
