What are /r/softwaregore's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Haha gotta love it when programmers design something because it's obvious they just want something that works without really bothering much with how it looks!

On a related note I've been using Ant Renamer for a long time and it is slightly more user-friendly. But I guess there is some merit to having all the options in one place like this if you prefer that!

It's not a paywall, it's the Privacy.com browser extension misbehaving. Usually that icon will appear on a checkout page for an online store, you can click it and it will autogenerate a virtual debit card number for you, I have no idea why it's appearing in a checkbox though.

There's a way to block those ads if you know from where they are coming.

Since Skype has an ads endpoint you can simply block them with the hosts file or inside the internet options menu: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/block-advertisements-skype-customize-chat-interface/

While using the free browser extension Ghostery, my browser only made 31 requests and loaded in 828 ms.

Not bad.

Uninstallers for this kind of app scare me. They can say that button "X" does whatever, but they can make it do whatever they want it to. And since installers often legitimately need admin privs, there's no limit to what can happen after that mouse click.

EDIT: Since this comment's getting some attention, I'll add what I do to try to avoid using such uninstallers and ask if anyone has better suggestions.

I don't uninstall with Windows control panel either since this will usually just run the same uninstaller. I'll search the web for tools recommended on reputable sites. An example is AdwCleaner (which I found via bleepingcomputer). It tries to remove various adware and toolbars (though the interface can be a bit "software gory" IMO).

If I can't find a decent tool, I delete the folders I can find for the app and run CCleaner to try to clean out the registry.

Of course all this assumes the installer didn't do something bad. I figure a lot of these apps just get upset when you uninstall.

Plus, I always select custom install when installing. Sometimes crapware deselection is hidden in there.

When a company has to bring out a "Lite" version, you know there's a reason not to use the adshovel full version.

Er... you should seriously look into that and see if cmd isn't executing malicious code. Living off the Land viruses are definitely the new rage. In fact, emotet Ultra Popular Malware at the moment hops through cmd.exe first to launch powershell. Honestly, I'd check C:/Windows/Prefetch/) and see if Powershell didn't get fired recently

No. The username and discriminator are both required to identify a user; the only reason it exists, as far as I can tell, is to allow at most 9999 people to share a username (and even then, popular/short names have already started to become unavailable). If you try to change your username, and the combination of your current username and your discriminator is already in use, the number will have to change as well.

The ACTUAL user ID is a 64-bit number that you can get by turning on developer mode and selecting Copy ID (but it can't be used to send friend requests, so that doesn't help either.)

If you Need help you can find a Hotline here: http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html If you are thinking of Suicide right now you can also call your local emergency number, such as 911 in the US or 112 in the EU.

Remember when Mythic overcharged people for Warhammer Online subscription a few years back?

For the few people where the banks didn't catch it, it was a complete shitshow. I remember reading their forums, someone was literally panicking because the resulting overdraft had left his family nothing to live on and he had a newborn to take care of.

make sure you have minidumps turned on, then feed them into BsodView once a new bluescreen shows up. The application can then tell exactly what driver caused the exception. If it is a 3rd party driver, it is time to update that.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

If you morbidly enjoy stories like this, this book is super interesting, it's about how minor design flaws and human error can lead to huge disasters that seem really obvious in hindsight.

I used this years ago in conjunction with autoit to automate my SOE software deployment job as the place I worked for let staff choose their own laptop specs and finding drivers etc after pushing the enterprise image became a pain.

So all laptops stayed on their oem windows install and I just ran my special DVD to get the SOE deployed.

Worked so well the tool saved me about 4 hours on each device sitting around clicking next, inputting keys and customising settings for software that didn't let you script silent instals.

You just need to install SwitchResX(http://www.madrau.com) and it's pretty straight forward with setting up lower resolution(may need to disable SIP temporarily but they may have found a work around to this). Only downside is this software isn't compatible with Mojave currently but I doubt that's one of your main concerns

Don't they use bing?

Bing has some very interesting auto detection and translations.

Such as "lul rekt lul", a bastardization of the english language brought to you by teenage gamers nationwide. And while it might be similar to some Dutch, I find it hard to believe it actually means what Bing thinks it means

uh, I can't find that ublock.org referenced anywhere in the ublock addon or it's actual websites. It actually might be a malware/scam site

so, the addon and blocklist working as intended.

Honestly you should have stopped using Bittorrent ages ago, use qBittorrent instead. It's ad free, works much better, and gives you more control in terms of options and settings than most other torrent clients (except maybe Deluge, which I can't get to work right without lagging to shit for the life of me but other people praise like it's Jesus himself). It's also open source on github so they won't do anything shady like uTorrent and use your PC to bitcoin mine or sell your info (and if they do you'll find out about it right away).

The hell you say. I've been using Really Slick Screensavers since 2001 or so. I've had Helios running on rigs ranging from an AMD K6-III/GeForce3 64MB to a Pentium IV/6800XT 256MB to a Haswell i7 4770K/7970 3GB and it's looked good on all them. :P

new NIST password guidelines say that software should check if the password entered has been in any public breach (using for example https://haveibeenpwned.com/). This is why "third party data breach" stands in there, it refers to a data breach on another site, not affecting you at all. It's intentional and not software gore, although the wording might be a bit confusing especially for people who don't know the NIST password guidelines

I can think of a few reasons. Flux has these benefits over night light in my experience:

• Ability to set the daytime color temperature.
• Works on all systems I've tried, night light doesn't work on my desktop with CU, options are grayed out (Others have also reported this issue).
• Safe mode which doesn't interrupt full-screen apps, night light doesn't let you set this behavior yourself.
• Global hotkeys for dimming the display (Alt+PgUp/Dn), I use this feature all the time.
• Disable for an hour/until sunrise options when you right click on the tray icon, night light only lets you turn it off completely.
• It seems like flux has more color range. Flux also actually tells you the color temperature in K.
• Movie mode which has a slightly different color shift so movies don't look so orange.
• Lets you set the transition speed yourself.

On the other hand, Night light allows you to just set a time you want to color shift instead of using sunrise/sunset, which flux does not allow. Night light is also integrated which is nice.

Edit: Note that I'm talking about the version from https://justgetflux.com, not the beta version or the windows store version. The normal version does not have notifications.

Sure, it's called Dailydo, it's still very much in beta. (I'm the developer) Just to reassure, I believe the stupid OK message came from the system, and not the app :)

True. Full RAM uses the same amount of power than low RAM, and since RAM is a lot faster than the phone's flash memory, the OS and apps will try to use it to store information that they need to access regularly (a.k.a. "caching"). As soon as an app needs more RAM than what's available, the OS will automatically remove some of the cached data to make room for the app, so it doesn't harm the phone's functionality.

If you manually clear your RAM, then the cached data dissappears and apps will have to load everything from the slower flash memory, so it basically just slows down your phone.

Here are 2 articles about it, in case anyone is interested:

Incidentally I have had 'good-ish' results with an app aptly named "DriverBackup"

It's a dotNet app (with source available) that does an OKish job of extracting installed drivers from a running system... I used it a couple weeks ago to rip the drivers from the factory 8.1 image of one of those generic 'Made in China' tablet things before I threw my 8.1E image on.

I'm here before the inevitable flood of brainlets thinking they're smart and saying to use Windows Defender, or even worse, Le Common Sense 2018 xDdd.

Windows Defender has the worst performance impact.

It also has relatively high false positives and is vulnerable to any malware that runs as administrator as it doesn't have a proper self defence module. Before you say some shit like just don't run shit as admin, think about installers. CCleaner once was compromised and had a malware infected installer on their official site. Obviously you'd run that as administrator as it's expected and trusted.

If you want a good, free option, use Bitdefender or pirate Avast (it's stupidly simple and completely safe to do). If you're looking for something paid, get Kaspersky or Emsisoft.

I personally use Keepass2Android.

There's better QoL features than Keepass Droid.

• Resync the database file from your cloud provider automatically.
• Use the Password Manager API of the recent Android versions. (So you have a Fill with password manager that pop up on login prompts (Even in native apps)
• Restrict the app to work with internal cache only.
• Quick Unlock (Keep the database unlocked in BG and require your fingerprint / password to unlock it without having to wait for the key rotation.) Technically less secure but QoL toggleable feature.
• Fingerprint unlock.

I really like it now and can't go back to Keepass Droid.

Both are opensource too.

It's not hard, but it might happen at an inconvenient time (e.g. in the middle of a rush or something). The other benefit is that, since they're Raspberry Pis, you don't really need an expensive UPS (you probably don't need to UPS the TVs), so something like this will probably cover all three of them just fine.

OH I had this same thing happen to me too last month on my brand new GS9+. I thought it was just me

Interesting, I didn't know that CompileBot existed. Let me try to compile right now a simplified version of some code I once wrote here:

+/u/CompileBot JavaScript

var d = new Date(); var yr = d.getUTCFullYear() - 1970, mt = d.getUTCMonth() + 1, fd = d.getUTCDate() - 1; var hr = d.getUTCHours(), mn = d.getUTCMinutes(), sc = d.getUTCSeconds(), ms = d.getUTCMilliseconds(); if (mt >= 2 && (yr % 4 === 0 && (yr % 100 !== 0 || yr % 400 === 0))) {fd += 1;} switch (mt) { case 1: fd += 0; break; case 2: fd += 31; break; case 3: fd += 59; break; case 4: fd += 90; break; case 5: fd += 120; break; case 6: fd += 151; break; case 7: fd += 181; break; case 8: fd += 212; break; case 9: fd += 243; break; case 10: fd += 273; break; case 11: fd += 304; break; case 12: fd += 334; break; } var ft = (hr / 24) + (mn / (24 * 60)) + (sc / (24 * 60 * 60))+ (ms / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); var dt = (fd + ft).toFixed(5); var output = yr + "T" + dt + "M"; print(output);

I actually tried that, but I really want a desktop app to be supported. Having to use a browser bugs me, especially when I close a window just to have the tunes stop playing. There are workarounds to this problem, and I know of the open-source wrappers people have developed for the desktop, but when I tried the latter I experienced a whole host of bugs.

I actually went and downloaded this and it's way, way different from when I last tried it out...

If I pay can I go to artist pages and play specific songs? I seem to only have radio and playlist access right now

Hmm. After thinking about it. I don't agree. Don't store phone numbers as integers, even if it is only a supporting column for indexing. If you need to index on it for reverse lookup of customers you are far better off stripping the special characters and store it as a string and index the result. This way the like operator and other fuzzy logic in the DB still work and you can implement a much more flexible solution for revers lookup. Your data isn't so big that you need the performance boost of using integers for indecies.

If you aren't planning on doing mathematical operations on a field then don't make it numeric. ID's aren't special cases either; we increment those, thus they are arithmetic in nature.

If it were a generic stock android calculator then it would look like this.

This calculator is clearly made by an OEM, both of Google's Product Sans and Roboto font isn't there, which is entirely a significant part of their design language especially in stock android.

EDIT: Essentially, it is obviously an HTC-designed calculator.

Apparently you can. But, hey, shipping is at least free on it!

This sounds like you have bad VRAM. I had a similar problem a few years back.

Weird thing was, the red dots were showing up when I took a software screenshot, which meant the computer actually thought it was part of the 2D canvas.

Do yourself a favor and install this version of ES, none of that bullshit from the developer change.

It’s definitely not Product Sans.

To me, it looks like a geometric sans serif made by Hanken Design Co, possibly their font called “Now”. That font is available in the app TypeFace where you can choose your own open source font and the app will build an APK to be applied in Substratum.

There should be a website where you can just continuously give datas to the AI. You know, in case you're bored and also want to help robots do their revolution.

EDIT: There's an app for that!

EDIT 2: And a website!

They had an update about that today, I wonder if it was in response to this Reddit post?

I have never gotten those notifications though, /u/TwistedSorrow said they are only in the windows store version so that might be why.

Dude.... You forget. No Relay user should:

Play store link: Relay for reddit

Relay for reddit. Used to be called reddit news. I like this one the most because everything is swipeable. It also has little pop-up galleries for imgur so you just tap the thumbnail and swipe through the pics.

Definitely - if there's any mission-critical information on that drive, you should use a program like Macrium Reflect to back it up at the block level, then perform any necessary repairs.

Google Opinion Rewards

It looks like what it gives is Play Store Credit.

If you're looking for a way to make a little bit of extra money from small tasks, maybe look into Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

Should be "I love spring!" instead of "I love spring\x21" (hex 21 referring to the ASCII "!" character, which it should have displayed).

Assuming they haven't fixed the bug yet, this link below should trigger the bug:

https://www.bing.com/translator/?text=I%20love%20spring!&from=en&to=es&FORM=ML13HI

[https://searchcode.com/?q=if\(version%2Cstartswith("windows+9"\)](https://searchcode.com/?q=if\(version%2Cstartswith("windows+9"\))

This one looks for "windows 9", because looking for just 9 doesn't appear to be too reliable.

EDIT: That link could have worked better. It does now!

How did anyone think this was a good idea?

I did actually. I wrote the MuseScore and the MuseScore Songbook app. I'm also one of the main developer of the free and open source music notation software https://musescore.org

I read this article https://www.nngroup.com/articles/stop-password-masking/ long time ago. I still agree with a large part of this article.

Of course, the password is not transmitted or stored as plaintext! And, if one can see your password in a glance, you probably need a stronger password ;)

> The UTF-8 encoding might contain bytes that are interpreted by the remote terminal as control codes, such that trying to enter a smart quote into the terminal moves the cursor around and corrupts the entire data record.

That...that one is especially terrifying. I'd say, oh sure, backups, but...unlike old computer hobbyists, they aren't going to be using SD card/CF/HDD replacements. They'd be using original equipment, I bet. Reel to reels, 5" HDDs, old proprietary tape storage (ex. 3M DC 2000)...

Side note: Holy fuck there's those 3M tapes being fucking sold on Amazon.

I missed command line bootup screens so I found an app that does that for Android (root only), it changes your boot logo to a live view of the logcat like when you boot up a Linux distro:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.liveboot&hl=en

1. I don't visit adult sites
2. They use the Google 404 error image
3. I'm using safari, never even used the google search engine that day
4. Why would I need to download an app to remove a virus
5. How do you know EXACTLY how long it is until the payload activates?? (Edit) 6. After looking at reviews of the app it needs you to download (Hotspot Shield Free VPN Proxy & Wi-Fi Privacy) so many people were tricked by this scam...

You really shouldn't use the same password for different things.

Get a password manager, and create a unique password for each website/service. I use Keepass on Windows, Keepass2Android on my phone/tablet, and store the database in a Dropbox folder on all devices so they're all automatically synced.

Just make sure to use a secure password to your Keepass database and don't forget it - write it on a piece of paper and store it somewhere safe if you must.

That may because Chrome just implements more standards that other browsers don't. If you take a look at http://caniuse.com you can see Chrome implements more standards.

It could also very well be Google being assholes and add Chrome-only features, I'm just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Lets be generous here. Say you get 50mpg. From Charlotte to Denver, you will pay $79.50 in gas. Double that, cause we have to get back home, so now we are at $159. (Using 2.65 for gas price from here)

Thats a 22hr drive, so we need one break. If we get a hotel for $30 a night, thats still $60 for a total of $219. Let's just forget food for simplicity.

Now here's a flight from Charlotte to Denver and back for $200

Most emulator writers actually strive for this; this article from the perspective of Game Boy emulation discusses it in more detail, as well as highlighting games that will bug out if ran on technically "perfect" emulators.

A dying GPU could also cause it, unless of course you have further determined it to be the slot.

KeePass is no online service, it's a regular program that creates an encrypted file with your passwords. Then you can if you want put that file on say dropbox or onedrive to access it anywhere.

That way you are in control of how you distribute and access your passwords. KeePass is also open source if you wish to inspect the code.

I completely agree with you regarding online password services, but KeePass is good stuff.

Is this actually GTA SA, or a rip-off version from another publisher? For the record, this is the only legitimate version on the play store.

Nova laucher : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher Flatty Icon Pack : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryersondesigns.flatty.iconpack However the Icon pack is old and was last updated in 2015, but it can automaticly crop Icons into hexagons.

It's a GIF which was somehow disguised as a JPG. I'm not sure why it happens, but its not just Steam.

There's a Stack Overflow thread about it.

To make VLC open songs in the same window, tick the "Use only one instance when started from file manager" box in the Interface section of Preferences.
I don't know what VLC version you have, but you should be able to right click a selection of files and add them to the current playlist (if you installed it a long time ago, consider a re-install - the registry keys that affect this will probably be updated).

As for the media hotkeys, they're not bound by default (which is a pain). Add them as global hotkeys to get them to work.

I put this app on all my phones, it replaces the Android booting logo with a live logcat to make it look like a Linux console on boot.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.liveboot&hl=en_US&gl=US

One day I cracked my screen and took it in to get it replaced, screen repair man didn't know I had that installed. Freaked him out, he thought he had broken my phone somehow.

I actually use a set of programs called 3DPNet and 3DPChip for that - 3DPNet has close to a GB of Network Drivers, and it auto detects the correct one for you to install, and 3DPChip is for once you are connected - It handles Video, Sound, Chipset, etc.

http://www.3dpchip.com/index_3dpchip_pre.html - No idea what 3DP Cleaner is though, that's new.

Edit: On a related note, I have a PC that will fail during Windows Install, unless you open the F10 console and manually run msoobe.

When you force close a process, windows justs politely asks the process to close iirc. The process can say "fuk u" and just keep hanging on. This is where Super F4 comes in. Ctrl + Alt + F4 takes no shit from no process!! There's even a Windows + F4 for targeted assassinations.

I would assume it happens because some of the characters coming from random result in valid command sequences. Pretty sure there are things there to change the text encoding values for your terminal.

I install unchecky on all machines I come across because of this. It tries to remove/uncheck unwanted software offers for you and warns you if you are about to click the wrong option

You probably wouldn't be happy to know that AVAST wants to buy ESET, so they might control the market even further. They already bought AVG. Last fun fact, both AVAST and AVG are Czech companies, and ESET is Slovak. So former Czechoslovakia would by biggest AV player on the planet by far.

They're business so I understand them pushing subscriptions, but this just shows how much extra you will get. The anti-malware protection is 100% same for free and premium users and rest of tools are mostly gimmicks. But I don't feel bad for them - free users build gigantic early warning network. Besides money lies in a corporate licencing. So I don't think CCleaner will become worse than it is now. Glary Utilities are solid and offer probably most tools for free, but if you want to reclaim most space, try Wise Disk Cleaner (portable). I run them both on my current system, GU offers to free up 1.37GB and WDC 1.9GB + 1.7GB (windows installation files and backup).

You can get Transmission for Macs. Or this Transmission, but it doesn't torrent anything. Or you can take out the transmission system from your car, but that also won't torrent anything.

The big problem with languages like C++ , java , for newbies is overhead to get to something you want to do.

So for that reason i'm going to recommend Python, it has a large tool kit in it's standard library so you can do anything you want with it very fast. And it should give you a better feel for how to code and think about solutions to problems (https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) along with Pycharm community addition as an

IDE(www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/).

Or Freebasic (http://freebasic.net/get) .. The reason i'm recommend this is that language is based heavy on Quickbasic45 syntax. But it's also sort of a hybridized with C/C++ elements as well. So it gives you things like pointer, function pointer , constructors etc. But it's standard library gives you everything you need.

I was thinking it was SVN's merge conflict blocks, but I guess SVN's format is slightly different (but looks similar). (SVN vs. Perforce)

What's is the gore?

From the documentation #MaxHotkeysPerInterval is valid. The # says it is only in a certain context.

nope. this is also Smart keyboard Pro

Google keyboard was quite fine. Swapped to it.. and it worked flawlessly. Swapped back to SKP and it did this again. So very strange.

>Where I live, it never drops below 30°C

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and call bullshit on that one.

Edit: Hyperbole is hard.

When it's installing it looks to the bios for the key. It has nothing to do with your hard drive at all. If you put a win 7 cd in it wouldn't know to look in the bios and you'd have to manually enter the key. You could put literally ANY hard drive in there. Since it's the OS program looking for the key during installation not the hard drive itself.

When they came out with win 8 they started "tattooing" or embedding the key into the bios. Since Bios starts up before (almost) anything else It should be able to get that information before even starting up the OS theoretically (if it's checking each time that is which I don't know if it is). And I could be wrong (I'm no expert as to the inner workings of the bios and operating systems so I'm just taking pot shots in a way as to exactly how it's working) but it could have something to do with the fact that most computers utilize the UEFI bios now and not legacy? That's how it's accessing it?

Basically you can install any OS you want and install any hard drive you want. But if you don't want to have to pay for another key then you'll have to install win 8 on a win 8 machine and win 8.1 on a win 8.1 machine those programs will be checking for keys related to them in the bios before asking for one from you.

article on it so you can see I didn't make it up

If anyone knows more about how it works though I'd love to hear as it seems interesting.

If you have a mac, you can run this with in the "Terminal" application by installing homebrew then

brew install md5sha1sum

enter, then

date -u +%F| sha1sum | head -c8; echo

There's also an ubuntu shell available on Windows 10 but I don't have experience with that.

Happening right now. With the quantity of servers they have I suppose not everyone is affected. I'm in North America though so it can't be good.

EDIT: according to http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/facebook.com.html Facebook seems to be down for everyone.

EDIT2: According to the comments it seems to have been down for a while for a lot of people.

EDIT3: Seems to be back up now (for me). It was down for about 30 minutes here.

It's true, Everything by Voidtools is now one of the pieces of software I will always install on any new Windows system I run, ahead of anything else. I might use a different browser here and there but I don't honestly think I can go back to the builtin Windows search now that I've so thoroughly spoiled by Everything.

Although it has a rather high false positive count, the protection seems adequate. It also has a high "user-dependent" percentage at av-comparatives. This basically means defender pop-ups with a warning window, allowing you to quarantine or close a program vs allowing it to execute and do whatever action its blocking.

My guess is that the inclusion of exploit mitigation has caused this improvement. I'd say that its good enough if you're a power user, but kinda falls short when you're not. A average user might not know what to do with false positives or securty alerts.

Once I found out my school's website was using a crappy email suite's webserver, googled it, found an exploit, and was able to get a directory listing. It actually had all the teacher's emails, but I didn't check that, because I saw surveillance.htm. Clicked it, link to every camera in the school. They didn't password it at all. I checked it one day in programming class after I was done, other people saw it, next day EVERYONE in the school knew. day after, I get called in to the office "not to do anything I wasn't supposed to.". I told him to put passwords on the cameras. He ignored me. Before I left, on my last day, I checked and they still didn't have passwords.

I also used to play a standalone copy of team fortress classic with 3 other guys during lunch. about a week after a school shooting threat, some new teacher said we weren't allowed to play violent games. We told her we've never had anyone say anything about it before, and as far as we knew there were no rules in the school handbook nor the computer usage agreement about restricting content like this, and pointed out that the principal had seen us playing it before with no issues. She went and whined to him and he said that some parents might get offended if they come in the school. We told him we'd tell them off for him, but he declined the offer.

My college's wifi blocks a lot of stuff, including the website for SoftEther, a proxy software, but strangely not ssh clients. It also blocks steam client logins, but not the steam website.

Have you tried Apollo? I totally agree with everything you're saying - I went through every Reddit app and returned to the official every time. Apollo is the only one I stuck with - frankly, I find it better than the official now. Lots of customization in swipes, gestures, etc. and packed with intuitive features. I think it's a choose-your-own-price to get the premium features, minimum $0.99usd. Totally worth it.

Thanks, I digged a bit on Amazon. The linked one is the later model of the one I own. Amazon names the one you linked as newer model, when I open up "my orders" and check it up.

However, I own mine since ~ 2010 and I'm pretty confident, the "gore" shown by OP can be "reproduced" on mine.

I'm pinning this thread and can hopefully upload a short clip today evening (about 10 hours ... currently at work and have a bit stuff to do afterwards)

Tip from a fellow first time Samsung user: you can use a package disabler application to disable the Samsung keyboard (granted you have the one you want to use installed and in-use). This app seems to be the best choice at this time.

I'm on Android, so I use reddit is fun, but I've heard good things about Narwhal

%1 is the first parameter passed but "open with" runs another program with the file selected as the first parameter. The script being run as %0 is "%1"... It's a big old recursive nightmare.

Where did a zero-width no-break space come from?

Here's what I get:

echo '' | ~/bin/utfinfo.pl Got 3 uchars Char: 'ï' u: 239 [0x00EF] b: 195,175 [0xC3,0xAF] n: LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS [Latin-1 Supplement] Char: '»' u: 187 [0x00BB] b: 194,187 [0xC2,0xBB] n: RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK [Latin-1 Supplement] Char: '¿' u: 191 [0x00BF] b: 194,191 [0xC2,0xBF] n: INVERTED QUESTION MARK [Latin-1 Supplement]

(I used this script: utfinfo.pl)

The 10MB limit is probably because of a setting on the server. The text could do with some rework, but not gore really.

Try using SkyTube or NewPipe, neither has ads but both are FOSS frontends for YouTube.

Or both actually; newpipe downloads or streams while skytube gets the video and plays it in your preferred resolution for you.

As far as I know, it's something AHCI allows.

EDIT: If you want to remove the option to eject C:, see this.

EDIT II - Return of the Edit: More specifically, it may be something the MSACHI driver allows, as I'm not sure all ACHI implementations allow for it.

if anyone thinks that this isnt software gore or that I should blur these people's faces please know that this image was made using thispersondoesnotexist.com and these people do infact not exist

I used the word corrupt because while it is within reason, it undermines the whole purpose of the extension, and does not inform users that this is a thing.

If they made this "feature" more obvious to the end user I'd probably use a different term (although they might've improved the visibility on this matter since I've stopped using abp).

nah, just pop in the installation dvd for your operating system (or make a usb-stick version from a dvd-image) and restart the machine while holding in the "alt" button... then, select the dvd (or usb), select language, and then choose "Disk Utility" and then "repair".

I think it's legit, it seems that the ELPDCBM.exe is a button manager for EPSON document camera.
