is running windows XP in 2023 even safe to do? I know a lot of hospitals and businesses do it, but don't they have contracts to make it safe? I run windows XP still, and am now concerned about my computer's security.
What do you even mean by safe? Any computer is safe if you aren't retarded. XP isn't getting muh updates and the only AV that supports it is Clamwin. Any piece of software you download from a strange place is pretty much guaranteed to give you a virus. Also don't even think about opening it directly to the web.
>>93294298I mean by using my computer normally like most people do, going on the internet with chrome and stuff
>>93294326Probably would be fine, but getting a browser to work is going to be an endevour on the same level as installing as strange linux distro.
>>93294065 (OP)Use TinyCore. Its faster, actually much smaller than windows xp and more modern.
>>93294454but I already have XP set up on my computer
>>93294465You dont have to remove xp. TinyCore is portable, it runs from usb or cd.That`s my tip. If you insist on using windows xp like a normal person then do it, actually is safier to use windows xp now than a few years ago, since nothing is compatible with this.
>>93294065 (OP)>>93294326what the fuck is your computer holy shit
excellent photos OP, i hope this really is your room that you grew up in and haven't changed anything in 20+ years>>93294398that pape is goat
>>93294326SOVLalso I used XP daily up until 2018-2019. Not necessarily as my main OS but I did use it a lot. I didn't do banking on it except once but I did have my VPN working on that laptop and the browsers I had still have matrix blockers and ublock origin. plus a copy of Common Sense antivirus and I never felt unsafe.
>>93294298>the only AV that supports it is ClamwinAVG/Avast does too
>>93294065 (OP)Your average device running XP isn't connected to the Internet.It's why Wannacry was such a disaster: tons of machines that shouldn't have been connected to the Internet were, with hilarious and well-documented results.
>>93294065 (OP)That computer and room is super cute OP. You're very dedicated to getting in the headspace of when you were a little boy.
>>93294065 (OP)>>93294326What compels a grown ass man to do this?
>>93294065 (OP)What do you mean by “safe”?For anyone who knows what they’re doing it’s fine, but if you know what you’re doing, you know the reasonable limitations of using an ancient operating system.Don’t put anything important on XP, it would just be careless. It’s not inherently unsafe but the safety net of modern windows, modern browsers, just isn’t there to protect you from fucking up.You go to download some shady shit on modern windows and your browser says “fuck that” to the webpage and you keep going, the browser again says “fuck that” when you try to download a file and you keep going, windows defender throws it in quarantine and you take it out, you try to run it and UAC says you shouldn’t, you run it anyway and get malware.Windows XP and XP compatible browsers don’t care, you will just go to the page, download the file, run it and get malware with no warning against your own stupidity.You can by all means use it semi functionally with the modern web if you know what you’re doing. If you don’t know what you’re doing, do not even attempt.Don’t log into your bank account, don’t use any account you aren’t willing to lose, don’t buy anything online, don’t keep anything you can’t lose on the machine, you need to treat XP like a disposable installation now because it’s simply not worth any potential risk of you fucking it up for being dumb.
>>93299310>What compels a grown ass man to do this?A coping mechanism for intense childhood trauma.

>>93299310it honestly looks pretty comfy
>>93294326where are the diapers?
>>93294398pape? pls
>>93294065 (OP)Any corporation that still uses XP has the systems locked off from internet access and only keeps it up because they're too stingy and lazy to update whatever trash legacy application can't run on contemporary windows. Any user that still uses XP and isn't a collector, old tech hobbyist, using it to play very old games, or museum is just a neuroplasticity-deprived retard.

you know what would be interesting? A initiative to make these abandonware workable again by maintaining protocols, systems, games and etc and other basic shit that only works with ityou know, like trying to continue the XP era
>>93309197See KernelEx and Roytam1's browsers. It's mostly just stinky forum dwellers, but the torch is being carried. Posted from XP kek>Verification not required
>>93309233people make native installations? or is it all VMs?
>>93309334Either I think. There's a Japanese autist who works on KernelEx for 2000 and if his blog is to be believed he does his work on real hardware. The MSFN forums are also full of people getting ancient Windows to work on new machines. I'm using XP on metal right now; the laptop was made for it anyway. I don't think I'd recommend it for more than novelty, the security will never be there.
>>93294326>reverse image search>0 matchesWh-what is this creature
>>93309375>the security will never be therewhat types of vulnerabilities it has? people using old age malware? also, they do for the lols I assume? theres nothing of value on these computers
>>93309176Are you a (biological) man or woman?
>>93309405
>>93309429It seems like everybody writing malware still targets XP. Who knows why? People like OP probably make pretty east targets. And yeah for the lols. It's no different then >tinkering
>>93294065 (OP)Windows XP is a fine and secure operating system.You're just in a constant state of being lubed up with your asshole gaping ready to get plowed if you make a mistake. Seriously. If you do something stupid, you're vulnerable, UAC may be annoying but it does help thwart some efforts.Your biggest issue with Windows XP in the modern era is finding a browser that is secure and that supports it. It's almost impossible to get a virus on Win7+ with Chrome since it sandboxes everything (that's why it's so memory inefficient and resource heavy) while most browsers back in the XP days just acted on good faith. Simply going to a site like www.google.com but adding an extra o had the potential to give your computer aids back then. It wasn't primarily the fault of the OS, just software in general and the web.>running flash>letting it do whatever it wants>be surprised when people abuse it for evil>blame XPXP didn't deserve the blame.Main reason to not use XP these days is the 4GB memory limit. You could run 64-bit, but then finding drives for some obscure things might be difficult.Better to just start using linux these days and opting out of Microsoft as a whole and just virtualizing or dualbooting for whatever you *need* Windows for.
best thread in years
>>93294065 (OP)
>>93308706>Not good with techSo you've been using the same computer for, what I'm guessing, 20+ years now?You really are stuck in time, forget a horror movie, this is the plot of a Star Trek Voyager episode.
>>93309459thanks for the info, you and >>93308434 and >>93299355 have been very helpful, but still dont know where to install linux
>>93309529>Main reason to not use XP these days is the 4GB memory limit.yeah, this is the issue I was thinking of, my hardware has everything ready for win7 at minimall, but anything before is non existent
>>93309529Also Windows XP (and 7) lack basic networking security features so things that should be encrypted will be sent in plaintext, for example sending data to a local NAS in your home network. You're limited to old protocols.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block#SMB_3.0That's something the "OS" should be easily fucking patched to resolve, but Microsoft refuses to enable such features in older versions in order to entice you to "upgrade".You literally need Windows 8 or higher just to have basic encryption (think https-like) security when sending files from one PC to another PC over your local network.Ideally, your network should be secure enough to not need in-home-network encryption but not having the ability to do that is simply a pathetic and obvious scam by Microsoft. Just like disabling dynamic disks (mirroring/striping HDDs, RAID5, etc) in Home (can't mirror/stripe) and Pro (can't raid5).
>>93309580Are you pamperchu?
>>93309580in order to install linux, you need some media to boot it, like a usb stick or CDusb stick is the easier way
>>93309580You're going to need to either start reading some documentation, or a lot of YouTube tutorials, and you're going to have to buy a new computer. You're not going to run Ubuntu very well on your Windows XP machine, you need something more powerful.After that, you're going to have to read more instructions on how to modify it to look like XP.The fact that your room doesn't have a bodypillow somehow makes it more creepy.
>>93309618if they don't care about people using winXP, they don't care what they do there which kinda makes those unnecessary imosure you could have a castle wall made of titanium but if you know you will never be invaded, does it really matter?
>>93309628where do i get a linux usb stick?>>93309623no
>>93309665>Where do I get Linux usb stickLmaoHow did you find 4chan? Genuinely curious now.
>>93309665>where do i get a linux usb stick?any usb stick that is empty serves, as the point is to copy files to it, if you don't have one, you would need to buy one or ask someone to lend it to you>>93309659there are distros made for old computers though
>>93309197Extended kernels exist. They can continue Windows 9x/ME/2000 into the XP era and XP/Vista into the Windows 7 era, and they're even working on making 8.1 and 10 programs work in Windows 7.There's also web browsers still being maintained for as far back as XP with some limited support for 9x/ME/2000, and up-to-date chromium for Windows 7.
>>93309659I've gotten Void to run on worse. It just werked too, not set up.

>>93309696sure, but I can only do that on VMs right?I only have 8gb ram sticks and I have no idea how to find drivers for x64 XP systemsI mean, sure, software rendering might be enough when you have tons of resources, but
How many bodies do you have stashed in your crawl space?
>>93308888 observed quads>radiator>CUNT
>>93309729You can still do it on bare metal and the hardware needed isn't that old, it would still be able to load modern webpages. XP supports up to a GTX 9 series graphics card and an Ivy Bridge processor.
>>93309729Your computer can run with that much ram. It will use PAE to access it and not all software (likely none you use actually) will take advantage of it though.
>>93308338Does human really taste like pork?
>>93309776hmm I use AMD, although it is a hardware that is indeed from 2015but being AMD I assume it wouldn't have the same support as intel processors seem to have>>93309795Well, as long as it boots, because I assume nothing will consume more than 4gb because of how XP is
>>93309848It's not like it's going to break anything if you just want to try. Remember to perform the special incantation if you want to boot off USB.
>>93309706No put me in the reddit r/4channel screen cap
There's a profession 64bit version of XP, idk how hard it would be to find or if it would fix the ram issues
>>93309955the issue is not necessarily finding the x64 XP version, but the drivers for it
>>93309729If you're willing to make the jump to vista, the Vista Extended kernel has support for some modern hardware and the developers have released unlocked driver packages.
>>93309803yessss>>93309659can you supply some tutorials and documentation??lol body pillows are cringe.
>>93310035Did you add the teletubbies or did they come with the room? Where do you find a place like this? Hell?
>>93310071I added the teletubbies. This is the room I grew up in, my parents let me remodel it a bit, and after they moved out they left me the house so I went all out.
>>93310143What does the rest of the house look like?
>>93310151pretty normal and boring since i haven't gotten around to remodeling the entire home to be cool like my room but i'll get around to it eventually
>>93310143how old are you?
>>93310322why do you want to know?
>>93294298>Also don't even think about opening it directly to the web.This. You can run XP offline, like most hospitals do. But you're asking for it if you show XP hole on the internet without any security precautions.>>93307752>ok so what can i use instead to get the look of old windowsA lot of shit, but here's the thing: Win10/11 is such a fucking mess that even if you skin the OS, you're going to run into the same fucking issue that everyone that doesn't do that does: control panel being two different fucking things, MS account shoving down your throat/etc.It's noble that you're trying to keep a look (as weird as that is), but you're probably better off just running XP in a VM on the host system, without Internet access (or at least sandboxing it, maybe) and making that VM full-screen for what you want.

Anything is safe as long as it isn't networked.As for xp this is even more so since the entire source code was leaked.As for the hospitals and others running outdated software I can tell you one of the reasons from my job at a research university. Some industrial equipment only works with one program that uses a new port. To upgrade the $800 windows box would also mean upgrading the $80,000 equipment to a version that can support newer systems and connectors.
its going to be rough getting everything to run correctly on xp try windows 7

There's a Japanese autist who works on KernelEx for 2000 and if his blog is to be believed he does his work on real hardware.Wait, what?If I could use 2000 forever, I would. There's actually some CAM/CNC software I'd like to use that would be easier to use in 2000. If I can get it running on a period Thinkpad, even better.
>>93309197People do, Mypal, Newmoon, and Roytam1's basilisk fork are web browsers for xp. There's a kernel extension/compatibility layer based on reactos code called one core api. Somebody ported pcsx2 to xp.

>>93308706>>93309176...which family member was it, OP?
>>93315084>Why do you want to keep using a computer and OS that are both so outdated, unsafe, slow, power-hungry and incompatible with the world that they literally belong in a museum?Those are all benefits as far as I'm concerned. The present sucks and the past was better. I want to live in the past and I can't, so I do this instead.I'm not OP btw, I think he's just a serial killer.
>>93328353There are relatively up to date forks of palemoon, basilisk, and firefox that work on XP. The basilisk fork I know can solve recaptcha.
>>93331051Some do, but most prefer to use one pc rather than using 2 seperate machines
all these posts and no one sent OP a guide on how to get linux usbs...

>>93294065 (OP)>is running windows XP in 2023 even safe to do?No>I know a lot of hospitals and businesses do it,Their machines are (or at least should be) disconnected from the internet and they are mostly used as glorified typewriters. Thats what keeps them safe to some degree> I run windows XP still, and am now concerned about my computer's security.A 13yo skid can literally pwn your trusty c2d PC without your interaction (google eternablue) and a pile of "won't fix" CVEs is still growing. Best you can do is stop being NEET, leave your basement, go to work, earn some money for new computer and install windows 11 on it. I would recommend the workstation version which you can activate without paying for the key. Getting a job will also help you manage your free time better , will give you purpose in life and will make your parents stop seeing you as a disappointment.>t.employed zoomer with windows 11
if OP isn't a child abducting serial killer then I don't know if I can trust my senses anymore
>>93294065 (OP)fuck no, windows 7, XP, Vista were built when the internet wasn't so script-based and heavy... you're asking for an exploit if you're not on Windows 10/11 or Linux, macfags are too busy getting black sperm launched down their throat to worry about viruses - besides AIDS of course.
>>93331152This message reads like brain damage. How are any of those things a benefit?
>>93294398>praire wind papei fucking love you
>>93336062I think not being a serial killer is definitely a benefit to the safety and well being of others
>>93310143[spoiler]FLUTTERSHY, GET OUT OF THERE[spoiler]
>>93294065 (OP)A simplified answer is that it is safe as long as you don't connect it to the internet or use it to browse websites and download files.A more complex answer is that it can be exploited remotely through a wide variety of attack vectors, some of which even a hardware firewall may be ineffective at stopping, furthermore if a device on your network is already compromised then windows XP is completely vulnerable; attacking windows xp machines to gain remote access on the same LAN is super easy even a child could do it If you do decide to make the terrible decision of using XP for daily use, put it on a segregated VLAN with strict (hardware) firewall rules to prevent all traffic coming and going from the system unless absolutely necessary.

>>93336062The past has a certain romanticism to it. Things then just seemed to be better. Even if they were materially worse, immaterially and aesthetically they were better. Things were freer and more aesthetically pleasing, this came at the cost of efficiency, power, and effectiveness. In 1920 you could drive to the store without a seatbelt or license in your car that ran on leaded gas, buy a case of dynamite and a machine gun, then drive home to your house that doesn't follow any building codes, and distill your own liquor. All while everything is made unnecessarily beautiful and ornate.Computers are the same. My windows 98 machine will let me install programs, run obvious malware, deltree the c drive, hell even write directly to memory without so much as a prompt, and it does it all while looking so stylish. Modern software is too bogged down with security features and accessories that I just don't want. Then you take the case ,the components, and the monitor. Yes they're objectively worse in every way, but they're just so much more interesting mechanically. Its like comparing a boring and efficient diesel electric gas turbine engine to a compound triple expansion steam engine. One is better in every way, but I like looking at the other when its running.
>>93347132>Modern software is too bogged down with security features and accessories that I just don't want. It's a matter of tech just getting worse with time for me. Windows is a great example of this. Had a few blunders here and there until Windows 8 dropped, and Windows hasn't recovered ever since, making Windows 7 the last good one.Downgraded UI, the OS spits in your face on a regular basis and you're forced to put up with it because you must updooooot.What I also miss is tech just having more aesthetic in general, nowadays stuff feels cold and sterile.
>>93294065 (OP)what in god's green earth did I just stumble upon
>>93348195I agree that nu windows is awful, but I don't much care for 7. I don't dislike it, its a fine OS. It just doesn't really do it for me the same way XP and earlier do.
Epic thread
>>93347132It's for this reason I want to see a renaissance of Z80-based computing primarily based around the Ti EZ80. I loved writing for the Z80. I loved the constraints, having to optimize everything perfectly. I loved working in PIC for the same reason.
>>93294065 (OP)This is almost as disturbing as that one guy from the battle stations thread with the hacked-up/bandaged amputee doll sitting in a glass display case
Maybe if you have some heavy network restrictions, not sure how many routers allow rules/routes to make it so a computer is only able to communicate with one service over the internet, like say an ATM, but I don't see why you couldn't make routers drop traffic for anything other than (to/from) the server providing whatever is needed to do card transactions. A packet appliance might be another thing you can throw on top of routing/rules to examine packet data directly and dump them if something unusual comes along.
>>93294065 (OP)Just get Windows 7 already, you caveman. Or man up and install Linux.
