  3. Es #viernesdeescritorio y como sigo en plan de publicar cosas del año de la pera, toca mostrar otra captura añeja, pero ahora no de Linux.

    El mes era junio del 2005. Recién había conseguido PC nueva, y aunque ya conocía la palabra "Linux", todavía no lo usaba para nada. Tenía #WindowsXP y acababa de aprender sobre los temas y cómo parchar el uxtheme.dll para aplicarlos. Y era fan de las Mac, así que era obvio a dónde iría eso. Lo cierto es que quedé muy contento con el resultado :nc_aww: .

  5. Jetzt überarbeitet #Microsoft auch den uralten Autoplay-Dialog in #Windows11. Das #Design des Menüs stammt im Kern noch aus Zeiten von #WindowsXP und wird nun endlich modernisiert. winfuture.de/news,160467.html?

  9. Ah yes, nothing screams "cutting edge" like Windows XP on an #Itanium from 2002 🤯. Because, who doesn't love resurrecting ancient tech to watch it crawl in agony on your modern machine? 🐢💨 Spoiler alert: it's about as fun as watching paint dry, but with more crashes! 💥

  11. I spent more time than I care to admit doing dual-stack IP detection in a way that works on modern browsers and all the way back to Internet Explorer 6.

    I learned that IE6 will refuse to do XHR unless the host+port are identical to the current URL, and it doesn't support CORS. So, the workaround was using JSONP.

    I wonder how many other people in the world have IE6 running with IPv6 support...

  13. The big bagpack that Windows users have to carry since... 2001?

    Windows needs a complete rewrite and stop supporting software from the paleolithic.

  15. Here are four very different subreddits that I created.

    1.
    Old Opera
    This is a subreddit for those who love, or are even curious about, opera and its singers from the 1950's and earlier. Feel free to ask questions, share reviews and links, and discuss this wonderful genre of music and the singers and composers who brought it to life. Everyone, from beginners to experts, is welcome.

    reddit.com/r/OldOpera/

    2.
    Blind and Fine
    If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well, and we welcome questions about blindness if they are genuine, requests for feedback on surveys or technology about/for the blind, etc. However, I do ask that you join only if you are eighteen or older. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you. I am not an administrator there, only of Blind and Fine.

    reddit.com/r/BlindAndFine/

    3.
    FrozenDinnerReviews
    This is the place to talk about tv dinners and other frozen foods. Share opinions and recipes, ask questions, etc. If you must post pictures, please describe them or write a post containing text so that those of us who cannot see will know what it's about. Even something like "box of X brand pizza) is fine.

    reddit.com/r/FrozenDinnerRevie

    4.
    EscargotFamily
    This subreddit is for those who use the Escargot client to access Windows Live/MSN Messenger. This is a place where we can get to know each other and share contact information strictly for adding each other to Messenger (no real addresses, phone numbers, etc.). Please only join if you're over eighteen.

  17. Got into the #retropc stuff to make a #3dfx demo on some old #3dfxvoodoo2 and Athlon X2 3800+ I had still lying around.
    Just booted #windowsxp from a SATA SSD and boy is it fast. Imagining the #windows kernel isn’t complete crap, I do not get, how they could f**k up #windows10 and #windows11 so bad.
    OK there might be some more essential services running, but we have GPU accelerated rendering, x-time CPU performance and x-hundred times storage transfer speeds, which should offset any new essential features… #windows #3dfx #demoscene #retropc

  20. Oh, look! Someone resurrected the fossilized remains of Windows XP and put it in a browser. 🎉 Because, obviously, the world was desperately in need of a new way to relive the glory days of dial-up and Solitaire. 🙄 Bravo, Kimi K3, for reinventing the wheel... from 2005. 🕰️💾

  22. I have made a new release of the Principia builds for Windows XP, with SDL3 and all the newly implemented Dear Imgui dialogs included. Now that all dialogs are implemented the XP builds have become a lot more usable - you can do a lot more in the sandbox and publish levels to the community site too.

    github.com/rollerozxa/principi

    I myself also managed to find some better graphics drivers for my XP machine without broken OpenGL support... so now everything looks like it should in my screenshots!

  26. Works well and very speedy as you’d expect. No browser, no email, no WiFi - just Office XP (thanks to the Internet Archive) which I’ll use for writing. #WindowsXP #WriterDeck #Thinkpad

  28. Ah, the #nostalgia of trying to resurrect a game for an OS that should be fossilized by now! 😂 Dig out your floppies and dial-up #modems, because someone's determined to make "retro" synonymous with "unnecessary pain." Who cares that it's 2026 and XP is about as relevant as a fax machine? 🤷‍♂️

  30. Finally, new blog post out! It details the journey of me building Principia for Windows XP. Starting out with building the toolchain, then moving onto dependencies before building Principia itself. Then I install Windows XP on an old machine to test my produced binaries on real hardware.

  32. Сегодня окончательно день основания сборки WinXTended XP, основанной на Windows XP Pro SP3 с доп. софтом и обоями.

    У этой сборки появилась ветка дискуссии на Реддит, Гитхаб страница и на блюскай тоже может вестись дискусия про проект. При желании каждый может присоедениться к разработке и внести свой вклад, например, предложить свои идеи, указать на баги и способы их решения и так далее.

    Команда разработки называется XTended Team (типа WinXTended Team, часть семейства ведь). В скором времени будут расширяться места обсуждения сборки.

  33. Latest update on this saga: a dead GPU forced upgrade plans ahead of schedule. No problem at all as this GTX 960 slotted in nicely and runs like a dream! Pushed Unreal Tournament 2004 to 300-400FPS at max settings last night.

    Also cloned my Windows 10 drive which I use to review games on my 4:3 #Steam Curator page to an SSD and configured a reliable dual boot setup. Drive letters were removed from each opposite OS to avoid activating CHKDSK on every boot.
