The modern web is increasingly not built with HTML. Yes, it's always there under the hood. But many modern websites are just big Javascript programs, where the HTML is just added dynamically. Yup. I can see when some sites are like this. But I believe that, at least half of my preferred websites, …

I have a dream... where jQuery is dead, buried together with Flash & Internet Explorer, and we all go back to vanilla JavaScript, and HTML5 & CSS are both reworked to be even simpler for retro compatibility. Blame it on Google for pushing the boundaries of the web with their stupid vendor CSS …

In this flame war, I was always on Intel side. I always used Intel CPUs for my entire life so far, and never used anything else. Okay, that's almost a lie, I used the PowerPC Macintoshes at some point. But at least I never used AMD...

Me and my great dad repaired this last weekend two damn big noteboks... a Sony Vaio from around 2009, i7 and 4GB ram with Windows 7; and a HP Pavillion with what I believe to be a Core 2 Duo from around 2007, and running Vista. Since both harddisks were corrupted, and the Vaio wasn't booting for …

YT 2 Player (Redirect videos to VLC) Greasemonkey + Viewtube script to replace HTML5 video with a VLC window. How did you do that? I have a Win98 VM and I can't for the life of me find a greasemonkey version or YT2Player version to install on Retrozilla for that to work. I've spent two nights …

Nice idea! I thought about doing a key ring with an old processor, just for my dad. I asked him if he has any malfunctioning processor so I could make one (ofc I didn't tell him what I am going to do).

After days fighting to get Windows 98SE to do all the things I wanted it to do (including web browsing and youtube access), I gave up and decided instead to do a shootout between Windows 2000 and Windows XP to choose one OS for my basic tasks and some gaming. I'm right now in the process of doing …

As far as I can see, Chrome 76 on XP has some few problems still after he fixed a big list of them. GDI font rendering is one of them. But looking from the screenshots, it looks almost ready for prime time. That's good news for XP fans. A modern browser on XP can make the OS last longer.
