The proper html tags on the above link won’t display the picture. But if i type that link it takes me there and shows the picture. Iphone is the devil i hate it!
I hope you don't use it for anything more than playing Solitaire. You haven't had a security patch since January 14, 2020 unless you paid for the extended vulnerability service.

I’ll have to check that out. 20.1 is working fine for me but I don’t have a lot of software installed on it either. But thanks for the head’s up. I’ll see about getting it updated to 20.2 right now.

I blocked Microsuck, ... years ago.
All modern browsers are inferior in the scope of customization that Firefox legacy (prior to ver. 59.02 ) enabled.
Of course, there is that security issue...
Along with up-to-date browsers like Vivaldi (you can hack it to get multiple tab rows ) and Firefox Quantum portable (so you can also use legacy Firefox and Waterfox classic (most FF legacy extns work) then I use two profiles of Firefox ESR 59, all having their specific general use *forums, shopping..) Thank God for such tools to be use for good.
I’ll use Win 7 forever.
Thanks for that tip. I dual boot Win10 and Linux Mint with Linux being the primary.
It’s so frustrating to boot into windoze after a time then have to wait for the slow process of updates.
If you know a trick to turn off all the windows and app sounds other than the one under “Sounds” that doesn’t work; please let me know.
Win 7 64bit.
Had run Chrome for a long time, and had profiles for other family with their own c Desktop icons.
Been running Brave for several months.
Launched one of the kid’s Profiles in Chrome, and meet with SSL errors trying to access the core Google features (GMail,Calendar, Drive, etc).
No option to proceed anyway, just pages not loading.
But, holding shift and spamming the Reload button would eventually get me there. NO CLUE what’s going on.
Virus scan.
Nothing.
ZERO issues using Brave. None.
I do; thank you kindly for asking.
I have Norton 360 Premium and MalwareBytes Premium, running far superior detection & protection, to anything MS ever put out.
I don’t know how to do dual/multi-boot computers. Wish I did, but I run Linux Mint v18.3 occasionally from a thumb drive.
It can be a challenge, no doubt about it. Waaaaay back in the mid 2000’s I multi-booted a PC with Windows 95, 98SE, 2000, Vista and Linux. THAT was a real trick! I think I impressed the instructor with that one, and all the O/S’s worked!
Sorry, sounds from my laptop PC have not been an issue for me. So I have no clue. I do not hear any annoying sounds, and the only sounds I hear are when I connect speakers into the laptops port and play music using Windows Media player.
Those are excellent anti-virus applications and I use MalwawareBytes myself, but those don't protect against the exploitation of a bunch of insecurities inherent in the operating system itself. There are about 2000 known unpatched security vulnerabilities in Win7 by this point and those are just the publicly disclosed ones.
I have to do tall that for my wife’s Win10 machine.
Huge PITA. Odd how Win7 does not have those issues. Maybe why they tried so hard to get people to downgrade?
I deleted Edge FRom my registry, and, so far, so good!
The VERY annoying Edge popups are leaving me alone!
I use CCleaner Browser, and like it very much!
Startpage - The world’s most private search engine @ https://www.startpage.com/ - is my go-to search engine.
ALL GOOD!
“And you can bet Apple is right behind them with the same business model.”
We went to the Moon with 4KB.
These days people flinch if their 8GB Chromebook needs to open another tab.
I will go out on a limb and say that install DVDs obliterated the need for programmers to even give a crap about compact code … not like when installing Word took a stack of 40 floppies and hardly anyone was sadistic enough to make it 80.
Like that Ford Falcon that’s still accelerating to get into traffic after all these years, IE is loading … and loading….
