Not much point posting mine, you'd just have to go to Bing to see it. I have Bing Desktop running.

Not big into picking wallpapers myself. Used the default Win 7 one for many years. nAnd for quite some time I used one that was similar, but had the newer style MS logo in the middle. Supposedly from Windows 8, but with the actual colors in the flag, not just all blue or all white. I liked it, but kinda got bored with it.

Probably not much point in posting either, but I like coming here to look at others desktops.

The Computer icon is from a set of Token icons I got on Deviantart: Devine Icons. If you do a search for Devine Icons in the Customization > Icons > Dock Icons section, you'll be able to snag the whole collection (black also).

Trash bin is from Token Icon set but I can't remember what the name was. Moded I think, but the blue ones. You can do a similar search for them also on Deviantart

The Rainmeter Skin is called 'My Skin' and it has all kinds of different widgets to put up. The clock I'm using is from the My Skin\Computer\Clock\12hr\clock_small.ini. I think I changed the font though to Segoe Semilight. I also got it from Deviantart.com

devHead you wouldn't by chance have a link for that 'My Skin' Rainmeter skin would you? I searched through DeviantArt and couldn't find it.

Thanks!

This is sort of an ongoing thing for me, I can't decide how to organize everything really.

I've been wanting a white start screen for ages, looks as nice as I imagined :D

That looks really nice as it is now. :) Did you use decor8 to remove the text from the tiles?

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By KMilenkoski1202 · Posted

      Carol, Windows XP is still being used today only in a small capacity. It is still the best OS there is due to its backwards compatibility with other older software, the customization features, and friendly UI, and people often feel that upgrading to newer OSes is cost prohibitive in specialized Industries or developing countries, so the market share as of now is around 0.2%-0.3%

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
