All you whiners. Just do it and keep it to yourself. No one really cares.
For instance no one cares that I am sticking with FF.-nickodemos (May 05, 2019, 07:33 PM)
Ghacks is a good site, but a bunch of people in the comments section there tend to be weirdly, toxically negative against all things Mozilla/Firefox.-Nod5 (May 05, 2019, 03:22 AM)
I currently have the Sennheiser RS 185 RF Wireless Headphone System and a Blue Yeti. The headphones are good enough to roam the entire house with the added benefit that I don't have to remember to mute when I walk away as the mic doesn't travel with me. But it's good enough to be heard in my whole office even when I'm at one of my other computers or the whiteboard.-wraith808 (May 03, 2019, 03:34 PM)
Wow, those look very nice! I wish I had $500 to spend on headphones and a microphone.
Maybe I'll go for one of the lower model Blue microphones, such as the Snowball iCE and just use my CozyPhones. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.-Deozaan (May 03, 2019, 04:20 PM)
Technically that's still 2 ports. It's just that the charging cable comes with a mini, 1-port USB hub for the dongle.-Deozaan (May 03, 2019, 03:09 PM)
I also have the Logitech G930 headset. But it frequently disconnects and reconnects, even though the dongle is a mere 2-3 feet away, with an unobstructed line of sight. And every time it does that (which can be every few seconds), it seems to forget that the microphone should be muted while it's in the up position. And the battery has bit the dust, so I'm basically tethered to my desk anyway because it only lasts a minute or two when it's not plugged into the charging cable. And, like mouser said, the pleather earphone covers have been disintegrating for the past couple of years, covering the area around my ears, and my clothes and chair, in tiny black flakes.-Deozaan (May 03, 2019, 03:09 PM)
My front doorbell is just out (think there's an electrical problem) so I want to put another bell out front that can ring inside and downstairs. As I'm currently in a rental (always best IMO to rent when you first move), I don't really want to deal with the landlord or an electrician over this...-wraith808 (May 01, 2019, 09:18 AM)
Understood... I've heard good things about the Ring devices (that's the one with the 6 month battery IIRC), and they will push the video to/through Alexa or dump it on an onboard SSD.-Stoic Joker (May 01, 2019, 09:27 AM)
Hello and thanks to all who read and take time to respond. My question is about the DPI: setting. What setting should this be to get a good quality screen capture? Most screen capture software gives a result that is difficult to read and I would like to have a screen capture that is easily read without any blurring of text, images, or numbers. What setting in Screenshot Capture should be adjusted to provide a good quality PNG or JPEG. So far I have only found the DPI Setting. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Captured images I paste on Word, Excel, or PDF files are usually fuzzy when I increase the size in the document.
An unauthorized person gained access to a Docker Hub database that exposed sensitive information for approximately 190,000 users. This information included some usernames and hashed passwords, as well as tokens for GitHub and Bitbucket repositories.
According to a security notice sent late Friday night, Docker became aware of unauthorized access to a Docker Hub database on April 25th, 2019.
After performing an investigation it was determined that the database contained information for approximately 190,000 users. This information included access tokens for GitHub and Bitbucket repositories used for Docker autobuilds as well usernames and passwords for a small percentage of users.
On Thursday, April 25th, 2019, we discovered unauthorized access to a single Hub database storing a subset of non-financial user data. Upon discovery, we acted quickly to intervene and secure the site.
We want to update you on what we've learned from our ongoing investigation, including which Hub accounts are impacted, and what actions users should take.
Here is what we’ve learned:
During a brief period of unauthorized access to a Docker Hub database, sensitive data from approximately 190,000 accounts may have been exposed (less than 5% of Hub users). Data includes usernames and hashed passwords for a small percentage of these users, as well as Github and Bitbucket tokens for Docker autobuilds.
Actions to Take:
- We are asking users to change their password on Docker Hub and any other accounts that shared this password.
- For users with autobuilds that may have been impacted, we have revoked GitHub tokens and access keys, and ask that you reconnect to your repositories and check security logs to see if any unexpected actions have taken place.
- You may view security actions on your GitHub or BitBucket accounts to see if any unexpected access has occurred over the past 24 hours -see https://help.github....ng-your-security-log and https://bitbucket.or...-what-when-and-where
- This may affect your ongoing builds from our Automated build service. You may need to unlink and then relink your Github and Bitbucket source provider as described in https://docs.docker..../builds/link-source/
We are enhancing our overall security processes and reviewing our policies. Additional monitoring tools are now in place.
Our investigation is still ongoing, and we will share more information as it becomes available.
Thank you,
Kent Lamb Director of Docker Support [email protected]
"This service does not increase the speed of any traffic, nor prioritize gaming traffic ahead of other traffic on our network," a Cox spokesperson told Ars. "Cox Elite Gamer solves a problem with deficiencies in the public Internet, not our network. No customer's experience is degraded as a result of any customers purchasing Cox Elite Gamer service as an add-on to their Internet service... the Cox Elite Gamer service selects an optimized Internet path with each gaming session initiated by the customers."
Who wants to pay more for your internet connection to make sure you can play games on it? Because that’s what Cox Communications is now offering with its Elite Gamer package, an extra $15 charge to ensure that your online game experience has minimal lag and ping. You know, exactly the sort of “fast lane” connection that net neutrality rules prevented and that various companies (including Cox) assured people wouldn’t be created.

But strangely, a recent bug with its Origin game client might be one of the company’s most serious issues yet.
That’s because due to a security flaw in the Windows version of Origin, it was possible for hackers to essentially run or install any application on a user’s computer through something as innocuous as a hyperlink.
Discovered by Daley Bee and Dominik Penner of Underdog Security (via TechCrunch), the source of the flaw came from EA’s use of a custom URL protocol that allowed gamers to access a game’s web store from a browser instead of using the Origin client. Unfortunately, because those “origin://” links could also be tricked into launching malicious software, it essentially gave hackers free rein to install almost any program onto an end user’s machine.
According to Bee, by combining a malicious code with a cross-site scripting exploit, malware could be sent and automatically installed on vulnerable systems simply by clicking a link. And to prove the existence of the flaw, the team at Underdog security even created a demo exploit that opened up the Windows Calculator app instead of a link in Origin that appeared to be an EA sales offer.
And it's down again for me.
It never works when I need it.-Deozaan (April 17, 2019, 04:06 PM)
