	That's a great example(though your link said "nothing to see
here, move along)

<https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp>

	Is a yt-dlp fork built specifically for XP.
	I always update using

	yt-dlp_winXP -U

	And that works. There was an update today, probably because of
the "official" crappy Devil-signed yt-dlp updated yesterday.

	But the updated file checksum NEVER matches the offers on
github, which strangely enough don't even mention Windows XP in their
download section
	Probably against github (M$)policy to support XP.
	It's a bit upsetting....
	[]'s

	PS Can anyone find a link on nicolaasjan's page to
yt-dlp_winXP.exe so I can check I'm not downloading malware from the
US? TIA
