iOS bug warning Setting this date on your iPhone or iPad will kill your device permanently




According to Ars Technica, this happens because January 1st, 1970 is the first day of the Unix epoch, and that allowing the phone’s battery to go completely dead (or disconnecting the battery) will reset the date.

I am beginning to suspect these are just arbitrary code numbers assigned by winpatrol to make me buy the pro version.

Also, considering the fact that many of us that are looking at the page already have plus, that seems unlikely.

Living Room / Re: Do we have any musical people on DC?
« Last post by wraith808 on February 08, 2016, 08:37 PM »
Hmm, I'm getting double notifications from DC at the moment  :huh:

I did Chords 101 with no problem but Chords 102 was baffling; I just couldn't keep up. And the easiest songs just expect you to play chords that you've never "learned." I guess some out-of the-game practice is needed.

But for now I've moved it aside as I'm currently trying to learn violin (!) with my 7-year-old. If you thought listening to someone learn to play violin was painful, you should hear two people trying at once  :o

In my personal play, I sorted by difficulty, and started at the top.  The lessons needed for the particular song seemed to come up in the Rocksmith Recommends area.  I haven't even done any of the 102 courses yet, though I probably should.   I've learned from that point organically, and from the games and the score attack.  As far as playing chords you haven't learned, they do recommend that you look at chords outside of their suggestions, though most of those have come in the Rocksmith Recommends area also.

I'd recommend when going back, just jump into the songs and follow the Rocksmith Recommends curriculum.  It's pretty good, I've found, about picking up what you don't know, and making it simpler, without doing that immediately.

I've been playing Rocksmith 2014 lately to improve my guitar skills- I highly recommend it!  Some people talk about it not being conducive to good guitar habits- but all I know is that I've been playing regularly daily and keeping with it- which I haven't successfully done with my other forays into the instrument, and I can feel myself getting better.  (As far as background for comparison, I'm more of a keyboard/vocals guy)

Well, I unlocked this bonus song by a band I'd not heard before, and I love it!

Why not just write to [email protected] and ask?  I suppose you could refer to this page, just to let the current developer (no longer BillP) know that this issue is getting some attention.  That might provide some encouragement for him to reply quickly.

When I've had to contact him, he's responded just as quickly as Bill did.

Probably not a bad thing, because who knows how long g+ is going to last anyways...

Hopefully a while.  There's quite a bit of activity on there, no matter what all of the pundits who are waiting for it to fail say.  And their communities are better than boards in the format of them, and definitely better than facebook.

General Software Discussion / Re: OSX - Replace Finder as default file browser?
« Last post by wraith808 on February 06, 2016, 07:22 PM »
I used TotalFinder when I was using OSX.  There's also Path Finder, XtraFinder, and CRAX Commander, though I've never used them.  The largest impediment to Finder replacements (especially today) is System Integrity Protection.  I posted about this a while ago.  With that there, Finder replacement could be more of a dying breed than it was before.

I also used Default Folder X, and Forklift, but I don't really consider those Finder replacements (though some do).

« Last post by wraith808 on February 03, 2016, 10:37 AM »
^ Have you installed dropbox on both machines?

I'm not 100% clear what you mean by 'target folder' -- as I said above Dropbox will sync the contents of the chosen 'dropbox' folder from one machine to another.
You'll have to install it, and log in on both machines

I have Dropbox installed on both PC and Laptop and I'm signed in on both.

As the PC is new I want to transfer a lot of files from my Laptop across and then keep them synced - so I select some files from their parent folder on my Laptop and then drop them into the Dropbox folder (which I've previously named).  Now I know I can access these files from my PC (I saw them appear in the Dropbox folder on my PC) but I'd like them to be synced with a folder on the PC (target folder) but I'm not sure how to do that.

Or am I missing the point?  Are you supposed to use the files in the Dropbox folder?  Ideally I'd like to add or amend files in their parent folder (either on PC or Laptop) and they update in their parent folder on the other device???

Sorry for this confusion!!

In general, for the use of cloud sync clients like Dropbox, OneDrive, and their ilk, it is assumed that you will use the files in place.  Which is why I like Cubby.  You can turn any folder into a cubby, and have it in place where ever it is on that machine.  It does cost a bit more for a bit less space than the competitors.  But I've found it the one that I use- even though I have 1TB on OneDrive.

Developer's Corner / Re: More Git
« Last post by wraith808 on February 03, 2016, 10:33 AM »
Admittedly this is becoming harder and harder with GitKraken which is really nice.  :-*

I looked at it the other day, and it seems quite interesting. I like that it does not call out to git-on-windows. Not sure about the license agreement, which looks more like a NDA.

That is exactly how I felt when I looked at it in closed beta.  I thought it would switch once they left closed beta.  Maybe it will become clearer when they are out of beta?  It's also not clear if it will ever be a paid app.

So it's possible to sync folders from one device to another both ways with Dropbox?
Yes.  Changes are synced to all linked machines

definitely an issue we have to figure out.

one of the nice things about the new cms is that on cms pages we now have a sidebar showing recent posts on the FORUM that are related to that page. So software pages now show the most recent posts about the program from the forum section for that program.

I've seen some sites where blog posts posted create a forum thread for that post- their forum is the commenting system for the blog.  That might be a way to consolidate the conversation.

That's a lot of... what's the term for it? Corporate speak?

My thoughts too.  They want to continue forward with no doubts about their future while screwing a whole lot of people that depended on their service.  So... that.

The site is back up, now... with a blog post.

from https://blog.barracu...-from-gm-of-storage/

A message from Rod Mathews, VP & GM, Storage Business, regarding the Copy/CudaDrive EOL

Hi,

At Barracuda we have always strived to make great products that deliver ease of use and affordability. We are constantly evaluating our product portfolio in the context of our overall strategic goals. With that in mind, we have begun a process to focus our resources on our most strategic initiatives and to drive more innovation and faster growth within those products.

As such, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue our Copy and CudaDrive services. We certainly do not take this lightly, and we appreciate the millions of customers who have used the service, as well as the hard work and dedication of our product team over the past 4+ years.


While this is a big change, the path forward is an exciting one, as the CudaDrive engineering team will be joining forces with the Barracuda Backup team to accelerate the key initiatives for that product line. There is a huge amount of opportunity in Backup, Data Protection and Business Continuity features in the cloud, and adding the talented people from the CudaDrive team will allow us to more quickly and efficiently deploy new features and satisfy market and customer demands. The combined teams are a very impressive group, and we will be able to deliver much more to our backup customers and partners going forward.

We will continue to work hard to support our users through this transition, and have put together a detailed plan to ensure that we take care of all of our partners and customers in the manner for which Barracuda is known.

If you have any questions regarding this decision or Barracuda’s strategy moving forward, please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Rod Mathews

VP & GM, Storage Business

General Software Discussion / Copy Being Discontinued as of May 1, 2016
« Last post by wraith808 on February 01, 2016, 12:34 PM »
Copy, the dropbox also ran by barracuda networks, is being discontinued on May 1, 2016.

More information should be able to be found at https://techlib.barr...OPY/Copy+End-of-Life, but it is under heavy load, so not loading for me currently, so I have no further details right now, but there is a topic on reddit: https://www.reddit.c..._being_discontinued/

The largest bonus of Copy was that they had a native Linux client.  Other choices for refugees on Linux appear to be SpiderOak, Owncloud, Dropbox, and InSync.

Copied from the site:
We are announcing today that the Copy and CudaDrive services will be discontinued on May 1, 2016.
Copy and CudaDrive have provided easy-to-use cloud file services and sharing functionality to millions of users the past 4+ years. However, as our business focus has shifted, we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue the Copy and CudaDrive services and allocate those resources elsewhere. For more information on this decision, please view the blog post from Rod Mathews, our GM of Storage.
We know this comes as disappointing news to our users, but rest assured that we will do everything we can to take care of each of you in the manner for which Barracuda is known. We have created a step by step guide that walks you through the process of moving your data to a local hard drive or another cloud storage solution.
If you are on a paid subscription for either Copy or CudaDrive, please keep an eye out in the coming days for an email with more detailed information on your options. For additional information, please visit our FAQ page.
Thank you to everyone for your support.
All the best,
The Copy & CudaDrive Team
