That is not the world I want to live in. "To each their own", of course. Some times some of these topics are like walking into a church and being thumped over the head with a baseball bat to fork over 10%. Again, "to each their own".

This is my PC that I used until June/July 2021: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/what-is-your-security-setup-these-days.111264/page-1637#post-2979834 Then the PC died and I bought this current PC. Obviously I don't install Windows XP on it (because I liked it so much) and then I go to research the features of modern OS and browsers. I first bend W.10 to my needs. Then as you wrote to each his own. Edited November 28, 20241 yr by Sampei.Nihira
November 28, 20241 yr Author I don't know about CAD, but newer graphics cards are Win10+ only and they've only become faster since XP days. DirectX 12 with Feature Level 12_0 is listed as requirement for AutoCAD 2025 and there's .NET 8, all very far away from XP. 6 hours ago, NotHereToPlayGames said: If "we" were obsessed with "security", then NOBODY on this forum would run ANYTHING except the latest-and-greatest OS, the latest-and-greatest browser, the latest-and-greatest text editor, the latest-and-greatest file manager, et cetera. They want latest and greatest everything except the underlying OS. I never signed up for Win10 Insider Program or the like, yet you get weekly updates for some browsers on this very forum.
November 29, 20241 yr Author Guess I could run Floorp on a Raspberry, but just can't bring myself to use that as a daily driver. Speedometer numbers are meaningless to me and if the only way to get performance is to sacrifice everything else, then I'm not interested. Still, those numbers are couple of tens higher than on old desktop on these sorts of codebases. Though the difference might as well be as meaningless when comparing 2 already relatively high frame rates in 3D rendering, where the difference between 20 and 40 FPS is much more significant than the difference between 250 and 500 FPS.
December 17, 20241 yr Author I updated Floorp to the latest version on work laptop. ClearType params in about:config are still ineffective.
December 27, 20241 yr Author Tried running it using Intel Software Development Emulator on home desktop. Only found the version 8.59 at obscure link that managed to fool CPU-Z and didn't crash Floorp right away. Took over 2 min before the browser window without any content appeared, then it crashed.
