MyPal has been shut down. It was the last decent up to date FOSS browser for Windows XP + Vista. What now? Do we wait till the old systems become unreliable again, or does someone actually bother with porting modern FireFox? >inb4 you shouldn't connect them to the internet My computer, my network, my risks. You can leave the thread instead of trashing it again.

I don't think calling out security disasters count as trashing a thread, this is beyond stupidity.

If you have to run XP, run it in a VM under a modern Linux install

Why bother with getting pissed about your browser not being up to date when your entire system hasn't been for a decade? Your priorities are weird, OP.

>>787575 that was true when I was there as well! it was fun to use danger/u/ on a public one in the airport.
when I was visiting the carribean in 2019 though I visited a supermarket where the cashiers were ringing people up with DOS. that took the cake.

>>787590 My favorite book shop still uses DOS for everything, even the consumer-side barcode scanners. It's quite common in Russia, despite people having enough money for an upgrade. There's just no need for it most of the time. Those battle-hardened machines warm my heart.

To be fair, freeDOS is a thing and runs on modern hardware and as the name implied is free, and generally software for dos would be on abandonware sites so maybe it's just the best way to get a useable POS for cheap
