Hello everybody.

I have submited this as a main news, but anyway here I go again:

There are a few secret parameters hidden in googletalk.exe.

The most important I think it is /nomutex which allows to open more than one instance. You can signin twice with the same user too!.

There are many others like /mailto, /factoryreset, /autostart, /forcestart and others.

I have patched the exe to force /nomutex too. If anyone wants more info, just say it.

Enjoy!

I've changed this:

004536FD . 3BC6 CMP EAX,ESI

004536FF . 75 05 JNZ SHORT googleta.00453706

to this:

004536FD . 8BC1 MOV EAX,ECX

004536FF . EB 05 JMP SHORT googleta.00453706

But you always can create a shortcut to "c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex

Please, delete this message if it isn't legal

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
