TIL about DirectX12 offline. An important util when you run your win64 ENV on an airgapped simulation station. I download only from Linux or *BSD

Its simple

`
git clone https://github.com/naxl/directx12offline.git
cd directx12offline
`
>>
git clone https://github.com/naxl/directx12offline.git

Due to lack of funds and a need to edit #video (#Kdenlive), I #hacked my old non-#TPM #PC to run #Win11 (boo, hiss!)

For #retro #Win16 apps, I use #OTVDM.

And (#DOScember) to run even more ancient #MSDOS progs like they are #Win64 native (and because #NTVDMx86 is sterling, but can be a faff), I use #DosBox with this #commandline:

start /min DOSBox.exe z:\EXAMPLE.EXE -exit

This video is amazing, sad, hopeful, all at the same time, twisted like that great spaghetti your great aunt made, when you were a four year old kid.

Bullet points

* Near the year 2009 Firefox had a staggering 350 million users! 35% of the browsing user base!

* It was impossible to scale up the Mozilla infrastructure to meet Open Source user demand

* Chrome was secretly started when Mozilla got funding from Google {Alphabet}

* Mozilla advocate of privacy, depends on Google who hates privacy

* Mozilla Foundation dependency on Google funding is a contradiction so absurd it borders on parody

* Alphabet pays 450 million at the last deal where search is default to Google bad search engine

* A staggering 81% from Mozilla financial dependency comes from Google search agreement!

You should look at the whole video

This is a wonderful development. When you buy a fully assembled Computing system chances are high that you are also paying for a license for an operating system which is closed 🔒 source.

It often happens that people buy the hardware without thinking about the steep amount of money they pay for the license, when they don't even use it since they will run either a free GNU / GPL Open Source Operating System or an Operating System from the Berkeley side of Open Source.

Regardless paying for a license which you will not use is never a good thing.

When you go to this site you will be able to get a refund for that license you never ever used nor ever shall use.

It starts out in Italy but shall be expanded to other countries soon.

When Mozilla Thunderbird starts hammering on the CPU cores of your computer you configure it in this way.

>>Quote

... configuration editor. Type idle into the search box, and look for mail.db.idle_limit. According to that bug report, the correct value is 30000000. Check the number of zeros you have; if you only have 300000, that could be causing your CPU problems.
