Reminds me of my departing signature that they deleted... "Welcome to Lover's Lab, a porn site as well as a kindergarten."

Looks like those threads have been deleted. What were they about?

What's this new "rank" that we're all are a newbie of? Wasn't there already a rank of some sort shown with some green number on top of the post count, what happened to it?

Relying on 3rd party applications for security is never a good idea. You should instead try to minimize the number of potential security holes and flaws in your system by minimizing the usage of 3rd party applications such as browser add-ons or anti-virus/malware software, each of which is a potential cause of a security/privacy issue. As for browser security in general, I'd first recommend using portable versions of whatever the browser you are using, which don't install anything on the system and simply runs from the directory you placed them into. If something goes wrong with the one you are currently using, you can easily extract a fresh copy of it and do a folder comparison (using WinMerge etc.) with the clean one to find out what files have changed. It would be a lot more difficult to do it with a browser you "installed" on your system as you won't be able to figure out what had changed in your system during the installation (such as registry entries). Before you install any add-ons, first, make sure your browser is configured as securely as possible. You should decide on Network/DNS (e.g. make sure you use DNSSEC, secure DNS, encrypted SNI, TLS 1.3 etc), cookie, session, anti tracking/fingerprinting, update settings etc. behaviors that suit your needs. Some of these may require advanced configuration (e.g. about:config page on FF). I'd generally recommend turning off auto-updates for EVERYTHING except perhaps one adblocker. Adblocker updates, even filter list updates, are known to break things occasionally. It's often a trade-off between convenience and security and/or privacy, so it's basically up to the individual to decide how to configure things. If you don't want to deal with these kinds of potential headaches, always remember, less is more, so try to turn off features that you'll never use. Also keep a log of all the changes you've made in your system (e.g. OS, browser) with the date of the changes as well as a short explanation of why you made them.

Windows Defender is a super useless service which slows down the system, consumes resources, wears out your drives for no good reason and it does a really poor job protecting your system. Turn it off if you can and while you're at it, turn off Windows Update as well.

I personally want my PC to remain the same and keep its current state and functionality, if I leave it on for a month or for a year. If the OS decides to update or modify something on its own and break something in the process, I don't want the headache of troubleshooting it. Operating systems should always be treated as "mission critical" software, should never be turned into a casual test ground for the sloppy work of incompetent programmers, by pushing forced, untested patches and updates like Microsoft does with Windows.

It wasn't in reply to your post, sorry if it sounded like that. Some people seem to have the mindset of "newer therefore better (or more secure)" which irritates me.

Windows 10 is a malware itself. Not to mention that considering how they broke something with every untested patch since its release it's hard to say it's a more robust operating system either and Windows 11 isn't gonna be any different. Also, windows with rounded corners? I guess retarded millennials took over the UI design at M$. I'm using Win 8 pro with classic shell and it's okay for browsing the web and playing games. I've either removed or turned off most unnecessary features of it and it's become pretty lightweight, in fact it's currently running with less processes (about 25 in total) than my Win 7. Still has some annoyances such as the "store" which you can turn off but cannot be removed entirely. As long as you know what you're doing you can even use Win 2000 or XP assuming you can find all the drivers and programs you need. In terms of functionality, even Win 95/98 would be enough for most people. I would only use Win10, if the new laptop I bought came with it or if I had to buy a new PC or hardware to play a new PC game on Windows -which is super unlikely- and it didn't have drivers for Win 7/8.

"Don't Ask Questions, Just Consume Product and Then Get Excited for Next Products!" They Live!

It's really baffling how easily people have forgotten all the crap Bethesda has pulled in the past couple of years, I mean, besides their usual. Paid mods controversy, the money grab "special" edition with the same exact bugs of "legendary", Creation Club and Atomic Shop controversies (P2W microtransactions, inflated prices, ripoffs, fake discounts), the great canvas shortage of 2018, those plastic rum bottles, to name a few. Yet, Howard and Hines still have the audacity to show their faces in a public event to promote yet another crappy product of theirs, which will most likely create a similar amount of controversies if not more. But who is to blame here? Them or their audience?

"Another star system needs your help!" Besides being buggy and outdated as any other Bugthesda game, I don't know what exactly people are expecting this game to be. It's going to be another one of those save this and that, find this and that kinda game with a lot of retarded quests and you'll have your typical quest giver NPCs telling you that you are the only hope, the only one who can do whatever it is to do while sitting on their asses, munching on the same loaf of bread, "What are you doing here? Go save the galaxy!"... and you're gonna have to pretend you're doing something important in a completely static, lifeless Bethesda game world, just like you did in Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3/4. It's nothing but a waste of time and you most likely won't have the "porn" to justify any of that.

If it remained as a Game Pass exclusive, that'd be 9.99 x 12 x 10 bucks (1200 USD) if you wanted to keep playing it for a decade, like Skyrim, assuming M$ didn't pull the plug on GP and kept the monthly subscription fee the same.

@endgameaddiction It literally wrote "XBOX Exclusive" at the end of the presentation (21:30), but before that it also said Game Pass which included Windows 10 PC, which means it's going to be "Microsoft Exclusive" at least initially. So no Steam, GOG, or any other platform, very likely no Windows 7/8 either cause Game Pass only works on 10. This is what the official page says: As there's no mention of Steam or any other PC based platform (e.g. GOG, Epic, Origin), looks like you won't be playing it on November 11th unless you have a game pass subscription on XBox or on Windows 10 PC. I saw your post on LL a moment ago and not surprisingly that dickhead 27X was again attacking three different people in one post for no reason, as he does in every single fucking useless posts of his and he gets away with it, while the other dickhead Doctasax, who considered my "don't insult us" post was "insulting", replied right under that post and completely ignored it. There are a lot of fucktards remained on LL, I'm glad I no longer post there. Post a screenshot of the video I linked if you want to reply that idiot's "reading is essential" post. By the way, for all the retards out there, PC =/= Windows 10. As for modding, how moddable is this game going to be still remains to be seen. I personally don't expect Bethesda to drop modding completely unless they switch to a completely different engine, but from what I understand certain mods as well as script extenders, mod organizers and other utilities may not work on Game Pass games. https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14503 https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/the-version-of-skyrim-on-game-pass-is-moddablewith-limits/ I personally don't care, cause I have no intention to subscribe to Game Pass or use Windows 10. As I've said before, we've already played the best games most game devs can offer, things will get shittier and shittier in the future.

Made by Bethesda, so you don't need to wait 1.5 years to find out it's shit as usual, same goes for TES 6. Considering what they've done with TES and Fallout series, it would be really naive to expect a better game or even a good game from Bethesda in the foreseeable future. In other words, you've already played the best games of these series many years ago, which can also be said for other titles as well as other studios. I literally fell asleep in front of the monitor watching all the garbage shown in this presentation, guess it was when they started talking about Forza in Mexico or something and when I woke up I found out that "Redfall" wasn't the title for TES 6 as some people have been speculating but the title of a different game published by Bethesda, which was also shit.

You shouldn't update portable FF, just stick to whatever the version you downloaded. If you want to try out a newer version, extract it into a separate folder and use it separately. Copy and paste the following into a text file and rename the file as temp.reg, then right-click on it and choose 'Merge'. Not sure if anything else needed, but this should disable updates and update notifications. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox] "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox] "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001 I'm currently using FF Portable 74.0 (always in private mode) with the tweaks I posted (plus some more config tweaks that I don't remember right now) and have no problems. Can't comment on the newer versions but this version (74) is far better than Chrome and Opera and is perfectly adequate for daily use. I try to use a minimal number of add-ons (uBlock Origin, h264ify, Auto High Quality for Youtube, Redirector, and one that I made for my own use which redirects Google searches) as every single add-on might pose a security risk and may introduce potential problems which I'd rather not deal with. Don't know what add-ons you are using but one of them might be causing the issues you're having. Also, if you can post the prefs.js file in the \FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\ folder I can compare it to mine and see if there's any problems (as long as it's version 74.0).

So that's the reason why he calls himself Dark 0ne.
