Fortunately, XP is never designed to be blockable. Meaning that, it never
has such mechanism in its design in the first place.

firstly you can disable window update with 'sc delete <servicename>
if you not sure of service use 'services.msc' in terminal, you can open by task manger , then file , you may need to click run adminsitar
xp/32bit apps
xp no issues running in vitural machine for years. find apps everywhere , chrome firefox, can use chocolat and portableapps to find software also
play on windows

accounts yes i only use local so not dependent on internet connection
on first install just unplug the internet it wont find and you'll get prompted 'don' have account' , then you can just make local , thats if on
you first run. of course just use control panel to edit accounts
Just imagine how much the problem has multiplied since Schneier wrote
this article in 2006. With Win 10, and now the advent of Win 11, an
age of the total destruction of privacy has begun - and just about
every software outfit is going to jump in and help destroy it.

XP itself is no problem. The real-world problem is with browsers and the fucking
retatrds that code web sites without any backward compatibility.
At this point, there are numerous web sites that plainly won't work on any of the
browsers that can be run on XP.
I dunno, maybe it's all a conscious choice to drive everyone into the Win10/OSX
nightmare of having zero privacy in one's daily life.

For cases of XP's browser like FFx 52.9 not working with a site, I use
Mypal. It's a simple, simple browser that works so simple with every
site that blocks my FFx, at least so far.
The version I'm using is 29.1.1 (32 bit)

Mypal works in some cases but still fails in many. It was just a few weeks ago that
Linkedin does nor work in it. Basecamp is 80% broken on all and any browsers in XP. WaPo, starting about a month ago, has ~1/3 of pages that come up blank.
Chase Online refuses to work and faking User-Agent does not help.
I'd love to stick to XP because it does everything I need but the browser issue is
becoming a serious problem. Probanly the only solution is to run some OS in VM
just to run a god damn modern browser.
Question is, what that OS should be? One of the micro Linux distros? Plain Android? ChromeOS?
