Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA password to permit formatting

« Last post by anandcoral on September 02, 2019, 04:22 AM »

from malware that would format them

-Arthur Menu (September 01, 2019, 10:26 PM)

AFAIK, malware do not format hdd nowadays. They encrypt the sectors, rendering it useless and demand money.
Any good antivirus should prevent them.

Alright then, if French language isn't an issue, there's http://gratilog.net

-ConstanceJill (July 25, 2019, 05:02 AM)

Thanks for the link.
Though the page is in French, the listed freewares are in English, mostly.

And yes I can read it, after translation

[Select]

Gratilog.net, nothing but freewares

Passionate about the Web and computing, I have selected for you more than 2000 freewares for personal use (and sometimes even professional to check in the license). I based the classification of these free software on the language (French / English) because I want to simplify the lives of those who do not speak English. English is still too often a brake on the use of computers by the general public. I myself have translated some software and I specify it in this case.

I want this site to prove that one can have a fully functional and protected Windows computer without buying expensive software. We find almost everything in free software. In this way, IT can become a tool or pleasure for everyone. And since the purpose of this site is only to share my discoveries and help others, no ads appear on this site. My only reward is your emails of encouragement.

In case of problems, read the FAQ or ask your questions on the forum . The forum is also the perfect place to talk about the freewares you like. New free software is regularly presented in addition to those presented in the database of the site. Have a good visit on Gratilog.net, the free software catalog. These software are only for Windows.

I sincerely thank the authors of all these free programs for all the time they have spent developing these software and giving us these great gifts.

And it also mentions my app, Overlap Wallpaper

Living Room / Re: Fingerprint sensor under screen: does it work well?

« Last post by anandcoral on July 04, 2019, 05:48 AM »

Whole screen can not act as a finger print scanner, still now. A defined area, normally below, is used as finger print scanner. Since there is no visible mark on the screen, it takes time to scan the finger print successfully.

The back panel finger print scanner works faster, comparatively.

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Why do people keep requesting DonationCoder license keys for Pokemon Go??

« Last post by anandcoral on May 11, 2019, 04:28 AM »

My calculation is, it is google search for "Get a License Key" text. Since the exact text is in our page "https://www.donation...ng/get-a-license-key" it is given high score and shows on top.

Changing text in our page will be wrong. As we do not know what next app will do a search on text and it may show Skrommel's page as top !

So we just have to reply politely that the license available here is for DC apps.

Had beta installed and with "Firefox Data Collection and Use" re-checked, all came back to normal the next day after the hick.

Wonder if it's not a Mozilla tactic to get users to leave these options on?
Conspiracy? oh! oh!

All fixed now.
FF 66.0.4 (32-bit)

Mozilla did worked on their fault and fixed it, but the last two days were dark, just like Fani blew all our extensions !!
I was never so happy as I felt today in getting all my extensions back active.

even Beyond compare is reporting at least 45 minutes to complete the comparison run

-questorfla (April 16, 2019, 01:28 PM)

You're doing it the hard way, set BeyondCompare to display differences only, don't have it automatically compare contents, load the folder trees into it, (one a side), then just look for folders that are tinted red or blue, expand those folders until the file differences are displayed.

Takes less than a minute because you can do it while it's running through the basic folder comparison.

Tinted blue: an item doesn't exist in the other tree (name)
Tinted red: an item in one tree differs from the same item in the other tree (date/time, size)

eg. Less than 10 seconds on my netbook for a simple folder difference highlight:

Yes. This is the correct way and I do it frequently, while synchronizing backups from office and home.

they both have a piece of tile on top of them for easy cleaning.

I have tried many offline tools, 4kdown.., 3dyou.. etc. but they all fail as and when youtube makes changes.

Recently when I search for 'youtube to mp3' for my son, I found https://www.onlinevi...er.com/mp3-converter
The best I must say. No fuss, direct mp4 or mp3 and many more, see screen shots.



It is in my bookmark now and I did not faced any problem till date. You may give it a try.

Hi chashnniel,

Thanks for the appreciation.

Quicknote is different that it is has same set of text for all windows. I use it to quickly jot down some points, when working on one job and refer to it on another job.

One important feature I use "Quicknote" is to record keyboard, when i create passwords for a site, so that I know what password I typed. Many sites reject my simple password and insist on different ones and in the melee I forget what I typed finally.

The many programs I use and can not be without them, some of which I feel are lesser known, are below,

http://www.quicknote.de/ - I use for : quick note popup small window with hotkey

http://www.resoph.co...phNotes/Welcome.html - I use for : note with tree and sync with simple note

http://www.ukrebs-software.de/ - I use for : calendar with reminder and execute programs and recurring events

And my own developed NANY programs, but they are well known, to be in this list, I think
