Been using the new MySpace for awhile now. I like it. Looks like it's changed a bit more lately though. Kinda neat really. Would be nice on a tablet for sure.

Don't really go to the new site or main much, since I really only go to MySpace to listen to an artists music to see what they sound like before I download.

I got access a month ago or so, I logged in, looked around for a bit and never went back. No point in it.

That depends I guess. There's no point in having your own start page/logged in page, really.

But MySpace does serve a very useful purpose, that's where all the music artist have there info and music at.

I use MySpace on a regular basis. Probably around 25 to 50 times a day.

Like I mentioned, I go there to preview a particular bands music and info about them, etc. etc.

99% of bands in the world are listed there, and as far as I can tell, MySpace is pretty much the only place.

Besides, on blogs I go to, when they have info/downloads of bands, they provide a link to MySpace, some link to Facebook, but bands don't have much material wise on their Facebook pages... yet. MySpace is the best for listening to their music anyways. YouTube for vids, but ya need the band info first.

It still exists???

Hey Grandpa, I've found your old SN Site!!!! :p

You still exist?

MySpace was designed for musicians, and is used by them still,

I don't recall any other sites they use, other than posting stuff that going on with them, on Facebook.

Surely they'll probably migrate fully to Facebook in the future.

People hold on to the past toooo much.

MySpace is about entertainment now. They bought one of the best sites for musicians awhile back and focused on it.

Even though they didn't bring one of the MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES OVER, WHICH WAS EASILY BUILDING/COMMUNICATING WITH A FAN BASE AND COLLABORATING WITH ARTIST. They still built a whole new monster that's awesome.

I hope to see more features from IMEEM come to MySpace. Targeting mainstream is great in all, but don't kill a community and force IMEEM users to MySpace to only shove mainstream down our throat and take away independent artist ways to grow and community with their fan base. I miss having LOTS of fans waiting on my music online to give their opinion on it. Also, I miss the 100 people a day list where people will join the site looking for new music. It was so easy to get fans and now only the mainstream gets this opportunity at the moment.

it was? I thought it was designed for annoying teen girls that put a thousand animated gif's on a page and crappy music loading automatically in the background....

now MP3.com was designed for musicians

I remember back when MySpace was cool. You could post pure HTML in the comments and have it display. There was things where you could post <title> as the comment and it would delete the entire page.

For the most part though, my buddies and I would post gay porn all over our friends pages (we are all 100% straight and in no way enjoy looking at gay man on man porn), so yea.. MySpace.. it's all about the defacing.

I remember I spent a good day coding my own overlay for Myspace, it looked amazing in IE

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware by Sayan Sen When Windows 11 was first released, one of the most complained-about issues with the new desktop Microsoft OS was its higher system requirements, which pushed many relatively modern and powerful processors and devices onto the officially unsupported list. Thankfully, they have not been updated again for the base OS, though systems require four times the memory and storage if they want to run AI-powered apps and features. As such, Windows 11 technically runs on 4GB of memory, and there is no imposed restriction on the generation of memory it supports. Speaking of memory, prices are extremely high nowadays for hardware, especially DDR5 and DDR4 kits due to the current silicon shortage, and there are also reports of it affecting DDR2 as well, and it might only be a matter of time before even DDR1 gets affected. Before that could happen, an enthusiast took an ancient DDR1-based system and decided to try out Windows 11 on it to see how well the modern OS would fare on such hardware. The system runs an outdated graphics card interface standard based on AGP, or Advanced Graphics Port, called AGP 3.0 or AGP8x. AGP was essentially succeeded by the modern PCI Express (PCIe) bus standard. The user behind the experiment is retro hardware enthusiast Omores, who built the system around an ASRock ConRoe865PE motherboard based on Intel's i865PE chipset from way back in 2003, around the time when AGP was still in fashion. What made this board special back in the day was its unusual support for newer Core 2 Duo and even Core 2 Quad processors while still retaining older DDR1 memory support and an AGP8X graphics slot, making it an ideal bridge or link between two vastly different generations. Powering the machine was Intel's Core 2 Quad Q6600 alongside 3GB of DDR1 RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4650 AGP graphics card, one of the final and most capable GPUs released for the aging AGP interface. While installing Windows 11 itself was relatively easy by bypassing Microsoft's hardware checks, getting the graphics card fully functional proved to be some challenge. Microsoft had quietly dropped native AGP support after the earliest releases of Windows 10, meaning newer versions of Windows no longer include the necessary Graphics Address Remapping Table (GART) drivers required for proper AGP acceleration. Without them, AGP graphics cards typically boot up, though with limited functionality, and can often throw a Code 43 error in Device Manager. To work around the limitation, Omores extracted Intel's legacy AGP440 SYS driver from an early Windows 10 release and paired it with a modified INF file so Windows 11 would correctly recognize the chipset. Following this and combined with AMD's final 64-bit Catalyst AGP drivers from 2012, the Radeon HD 4650 was able to operate with full AGP 8X acceleration intact. The result was said to be surprisingly usable for hardware that is over two decades old. Hardware-accelerated H.264 video playback worked correctly and benefited apps like Firefox, while legacy applications and games ran without major graphical issues. The system also successfully completed the 3DMark 2001 benchmark, although performance naturally lagged behind what the same hardware achieves under Windows 7, which is significantly lighter than Windows 11. There was, however, one unavoidable limitation as Microsoft's Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a mandatory SSE4.2 CPU instruction requirement that cannot be bypassed through installer modifications or registry tweaks. Since no AGP-era processor supports SSE4.2, Windows 11 version 23H2 effectively becomes the final release capable of running on such systems. Regardless, it is still a very cool feat and quite fascinating to see just how stable Windows 11 turned out to be on such unfamiliar hardware. Source: Omores (Patreon) via O_MORES (Reddit)

      That will only really help other players that are also responsible for creating the problem.

      Well, it's good to know that they have found a workaround to a problem that they helped create, I guess...
