Ne jetez pas votre vieux PC : VLC est à la recherche de vieilles machines sous Windows XP/Vista

Si vous avez un vieux PC ou un ancien Mac dans vos tiroirs, les développeurs de VideoLAN peuvent être intéressés. Sur X, l'équipe de VLC fait un appel aux dons et explique cibler quelques cartes graphiques en priorité. La demande peut surprendre dans un monde où les derniers GPU de Nvidia s'arrachent comme des pièces

Ho trovato la famigerata collina usata per lo sfondo di #windowsxp E dire che è sempre stata a due passi da casa.

If Microsoft and communities made Windows themes for Windows 10 and 11, the #WindowsXP theme would mostly be the 1 popular theme that would be more nostalgic than Windows 11's controversial design state.
Windows 98 would be second.

Since activation by phone isn't supported anymore, and I couldn't get internet access working on my VM, I ended up using the Windows registry hack (method 3), which completely disables activation. Works like a charm! #WheelOutTheDigitalDarkAgeKlaxon 📯 #WindowsXP #QEMU

New blog post, which covers how I emulated an old (2004) version of the #Inmagic DB/TextWorks software, running on #WindowsXP in #QEmu.

This might be useful even if you're not interested in this particular format, since I also included details on how I created and configured the VM, and how I used a "virtual thumb drive" to exchange data between the VM and the host, which is useful for lots of other situations.

Emulating Inmagic DB/TextWorks databases with QEMU

This post explains how I used QEMU to emulate an old (2004) version of the Inmagic DB/TextWorks software, and how I used the emulation to export a legacy database to a a comma-delimited text file that is readable in modern software. I also give an overview of the general structure of a DB/TextWorks 7.0 database, and provide two openly-licensed example databases.

If #Microsoft made this by keeping #WindowsXP, then we don't really need Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1; most of them would join XP, and the OS would live longer to the 2020s.
New UI Design, new features, and others that Vista to Windows 11 have all stay with XP.
