General Software Discussion / Overstepping the invalid certicate
« on: August 09, 2022, 10:47 AM »
Hello everyone.
I no longer follow this website because its certificate is no longer valid for my browser. I'm here out of curiosity after I overstepped the block that my browser signaled to me.
Who is the new "owner" of this website? What do I risk staying here?

General Software Discussion / A double visualization
« on: June 04, 2015, 11:45 AM »
Hi all,
in my PC I see everything fine but in three cases I see a rather dark window: most of video by Youtube, most of video by the player, the windows of certain programs that show a bad combination of colors (for example gray characters on a black background).
To see correctly those windows I must increase the brightness of the monitor and of course I must decrease it when I have finished.

I don't understand why such double behaviour of my system.

Is my graphic card (Intel G41) or its driver a horrid product?

Living Room / Audio clipping in MP4 and MP3
« on: May 30, 2015, 01:48 AM »
Hi all.

I downloaded a video by YTD, I got a MP4 file, and then I opened it by Audacity. The sound was almost all clipped. Almost all the spectrum was cutted/flattened at its edges.

Then, using YTD again, I converted the file in MP3 lowering the volume. Then I was going to open the MP3 by Audacity again.
It was only an extreme try, a curiosity, no hope to see a different result. In fact it's impossible that a clipped sound can magically turn into a regular sound, right?

Well, when I opened the MP3 by Audacity, I realized that the sound was no longer clipped. It was fine, it was whole.

How may it be explained?

General Software Discussion / Code into image files
« on: September 08, 2014, 08:01 AM »
Hi all.
As far as I know, image files (Jpg, Bmp, etc...) may include some code. Is there a simple way to find out if an image includes a program?

To control a suspicious image I have tried some software, the best was JPEGsnoop, but no result. I would try with other software too.

Living Room / A precious nail polish (temporary only)
« on: August 28, 2014, 03:28 AM »
A precious nail polish, an idea to be honoured:
http://www.undercovercolors.com/

From their Facebook page:

"Nail Polish that Changes Color in the Presence of Date Rape Drugs from the First Fashion Company Working to Prevent Sexual Assault.

In the U.S., 18% of women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. That's almost one out of every five women in our country. We may not know who they are, but these women are not faceless. They are our daughters, they are our girlfriends, and they are our friends.

While date rape drugs are often used to facilitate sexual assault, very little science exists for their detection. Our goal is to invent technologies that empower women to protect themselves from this heinous and quietly pervasive crime.

For our first product, we are developing a nail polish that changes color when it comes in contact with date rape drugs such as Rohypnol, Xanax, and GHB. With our nail polish, any woman will be empowered to discreetly ensure her safety by simply stirring her drink with her finger. If her nail polish changes color, she'll know that something is wrong.

Through this nail polish and similar technologies, we hope to make potential perpetrators afraid to spike a woman’s drink because there’s now a risk that they can get caught. In effect, we want to shift the fear from the victims to the perpetrators. We are Undercover Colors and we are the first fashion company empowering women to prevent sexual assault.

Living Room / An interesting marriage
« on: June 05, 2014, 12:22 PM »
Sometimes a very rich person marries a very modest person. It has happened again.

The newlyweds: a Lamborghini V12 engine (6200 cc, 580 HP) and an old Fiat 500.

The result:

General Software Discussion / Another browser: WhiteHat Aviator
« on: May 28, 2014, 10:55 AM »
Hi all.

Today I have found out and I have tried the browser WhiteHat Aviator: https://www.whitehatsec.com/aviator
It seems interesting with regard to security. For example: there is the full block of Javascript and the possiblity of a "whitelist" of exclusions, the websites are put into a sandbox, it's possible to use the extensions of Chrome.

Did you already know this browser? Any deeper judgment about it?

Hi all.

I use the browser Opera 12.16 and my Internet works fine, as usual, but in the last weeks Facebook is a disaster. Sometimes it is almost frozen.
When I enter in a Facebook page, the browser shows the usual messages like "Request sent to... Receiving data from... Sending to..." but those messages don't appear once only, they appear again and again, many times, cyclically, almost endlessly.
Sometimes the page doesn't appear, the screen is blank, sometimes I see everything but images. The little "wheel" of the browser sometimes turns turns turns endlessly...
All the messages refer to servers of Facebook, therefore the culprit should not be a malware/spyware that tries to bring me elsewhere.

I have done every kind of control, even by Hijackthis and OTL, and my PC is clean.

Some days ago I emptied the cache of the browser (I never needed to do it) and the situation seemed solved, but within a few time the issue appeared again.

What's happened?




P.S.= I have tried other browsers and Facebook works fine. Therefore the matter really concerns Opera 12.16 and Facebook
