Update frequency is better now :D

I'm guessing smoothscroll probably won't make a comeback till 8.0.xxx

Only thing I'm really missing now (don't like the extensions).

Oh, I guess there's a time limit to post edits.

Anyway, I clear all my user data (all 1 gig of it O.O) and all the tests on the IE test drive run soooo much better. I don't know why it would affect the performance, but it did tremendously. However, the HTML5 Videos like the Video Kaleidescope or YouTube videos still only play the sound with no video....Not only do they not show, when you try to leave the page, it either locks up or crashes.

I'd recommend backing up your bookmarks etc., and then go about reinstalling Chrome. It's possible that one of the updates got scrambled somehow..

Ahha! I scored 1699 points on that one! But I don't get it. Speed Reading works, Flying Images works, Canvas Pinball works! But when I go and try the IEFish tank, I still have 1fps... is it normal?

Yep it's the same here, perhaps that page simply doesn't enable the acceleration options? Also am I the only one to get pretty regular tab crashes with acceleration enabled? Not the entire browser but that little unhappy puzzle piece thing :p

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
