[Is SL finished for win7 users ?]

Just as a test, I logged in to SL with a 3rd gen intel with ONBOARD 2500 hd graphics, using ubuntu linux, (the current desktop version) and the current firestorm linux viewer. The pc is around 12 years old.

Because i had onboard graphics, it lagged like crazy, and the actual view was pretty shocking, but it logged in, so I would suggest radegast viewer could work for shop models or bots. (although I haven't tried yet)

The picture is shocking quality, but it wasn't good to start with, and i had to size reduce it for here.

Incorrect - you can still get updates. I do, every month. There's one due in six days.

Doh! you must have windows 7 extended support.. Normal updates finished Jan 14 2020 afaik.

[Is SL finished for win7 users ?]

If you can run a 64bit OS, you could try a linux distro like ubuntu, firestorm viewer has a linux viewer..

But getting back on to the topic, win 7 is currently "sunsetting".

You can still use it, you just won't get updates or support anymore.

Yep, get over it peeps...

[Sims tracking your IP adress and with it no longer allowing alts. Is this legal?]

I wouldn't be at all surprised that SL is monitored and they can see what I am typing in, my isp certainly has the option to monitor and filter my connection, if they NEED to.

[Sims tracking your IP adress and with it no longer allowing alts. Is this legal?]

I'm not sure this has much to do with someone in SL knowing your IP address (which really has never worried me personally) but this is a vid about how to internet and vpn's work. 

Note.. has a paid advert in the vid, I have no connection with the company, or even use the product.

(its only a dummies vid actually, most peeps already know this)

This link may help, although I do not know if you have tried this self help option yet.

Just an rather odd question here.

What if you had dynamic IP, instead of static? Dynamic IP changes each time you restart your device.

Also websites know your IP address, even if you are on a proxy lol.

[profile pics new Firestorm]

Hmm, just an addition to my comment above. I actually have 2 pcs that can go on secondlife,  the one in question that had no group tab in the chat tab ( actually didn't have the group tab there at all), I did a full uninstall/reinstall of the viewer, and now it is ok. Strangely enough, the other pc just did an upgrade and it was ok. well anyway its all going well now.

Groups have gone missing from the chat tab, too, I mean just saying.

Anyway, it seem my SL fps has remarkably improved with this newest FS viewer, but I will have to test that on a busy sim to properly find out.

Good internet does help though, my speed on the laptop is 516Mbps

Gees, you must have the expensive interwebs, mines about 95 mpbs .

Just a note here, from what I have read, it doesn't seem to matter too much if your pc has ddr4 or ddr5 ram presently. (based on 4800 mhz ddr5 ram compared to the fastest ddr4 ram sticks, but this will soon change as technology inceases.)

Also consider going to pink cloud mode during clothing changes

I suggest a pink cloud for girls, a blue cloud for boys, and a rainbow cloud for everyone else.

Umm, apart from a reduced price blouse and jacket from TORI TORRICELLI, and jeans from BLUEBERY which Im not sure were on sale or not...

Gees, I already found one place where their prices are not any cheaper, even though their sale has started.

I mean just saying.. they didn't get my custom.

I might look into it because I'm starting to cut back on my time and spending in here..

ETA: I'm gonna take a guess and  say it's probably gonna be mainland kind of deal rather than free linden home if it's even free land at all..

Thanks for the heads up on this.. I will be checking this basic premium out too, I hope it stays around for a bit, I only reinstated my premium account a few months ago.
