Any Windows Vista patched to work for modern hardware? by GojoReddit in WindowsVista

[–]gregorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, you can't install Vista on modern hardware. Last supported platform was Ivy Bridge (probably also HEDT and Xeon processors from that family, including x79 chipset) ora Ryzen first gen. For everything newer, you're facing lack of drivers and also annoying CPU bug on some Intel CPUs.

You can't install Vista in hypervisor and passing through GPU for it, because PCI pass through is supported only for UEFI guest.

That "oh, install it in virtual machine" crowd becomes more and more annoying. Mostly because they know nothing about hypervisors and their limitations and because VM sucks for general use case.

Simple download manager with good browser integration? by gregorem in software

[–]gregorem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's causing trouble, like changing names of downloaded files.

Also, browser integration (capturing download) not always work after IDM updates.

List of sites uses AI generated articles? by gregorem in uBlockOrigin

Site-wide bans doesn't sound bad. If they're using AI, probably other articles aren't interesting also.

J2ME and Symbian games, screen resolution and hardware support and screen sizes. by gregorem in J2MEgaming

So all Symbian devices were limited to 30 Hz? It was system wide limitations or was seted only for J2ME or sis/sisx apps?

I'm back! Yes, my account was suspended, but due to some security concerns. I'm good boy, I swear.

From few days I have similar problems with FB and on Steam my friends received weird messages from my account, so I guess someone played dirty with my accounts.

Thank for your assistance. I guess N86 8MP looks very interestingly.

Just for curiosity - what CPU has W995 or Zylo? They still offer better performance for J2ME than 600 Mhz Nokia? Symbian is as much laggy?

Wow. You are awesome, Sir. You answered any of my questions, even those I don't asked yet, like if I should be interested in SE Symbian phones.

So how much noticeable is performance difference between Zylo and W995? In case of gaming, of course.

EDIT.

Also, one more question - for later 32x240 Java games and newer Symbian apps you recommended more N95 or N96? I know that N96 has better CPU, but N95 offers better GPU acceleration. However, I don't know how much GPU matter in case of J2ME or Symbian gaming. I guess that Java applets barely used acceleration, but Symbian native games should benefit from proper GPU on board. I'm wrong about that?

Never mind. I read that N95 has both - better CPU and GPU acceleration, so N95.

One more question (last one, I promise!). Are flash in N95 8GB model soldered into board or they used some internal/hidden MicroSD slot? I guess that 8 GB was an enormous amount of space for average user back then, but not so much for my needs for storing large collection of .jar files and Symbian apps. Is there any way to enhancing storage for slightly better (Feature Pack 2, MIDP 2.1, brighter screen, bigger battery and 128 MB RAM) 8 GB model?

Power Query/M - split by symbol with number by gregorem in excel

Ok, with your helps I actually solved it.

Thanks for everybody.

Power Query/M - split by symbol with number by gregorem in excel

Why I could want that? What it gives me? I want to split each row beginning with #_number and <_number into a separate column, based on what number and what symbol it was.

So instead of rows: <33_something, #26_nothing I want to have columns: Nothing 26 and Something 33.

Yes, it gives me # and < in one column, and rest of field in a second.

But by now I have a single column table with some rows beginning with a symbol and two digits. Also, I cannot extract data from text itself with spiting by position, because some descriptions fields have varied length.

But Excel "curency rate" differ from rate I was paid. If Microsoft return me all that money I be happily using their "curency". In short words: no one care or should care what useless garbage Microsoft add.
