General Software Discussion / Gizmo's Tech Support Alert freeware site shutting down
« Last post by mouser on July 03, 2021, 10:21 PM »
Gizmo's Freeware (Tech Support Alert) website put up a blog post today announcing they are shutting down.

https://www.techsupp...ime-say-farewell.htm

Screenshot - 7_3_2021 , 10_16_04 PM.png


I've told this story before, but when I put up the DonationCoder website 16 years ago to ask for donations for a couple of programs I had written, Gizmo's was one of the 2 or 3 websites that were just immediately supportive and friendly, and the community around gizmo's was so encouraging of the idea.

Ian Richards (Gizmo) was always super supportive and friendly and encouraging of independent freeware developers, and gizmo's site has remained *THE* site to send people for recommendations of what freeware to use.

If Gizmo's is really shuttering up shop it will be a major loss to the freeware community, and the site will be sorely missed.

I think npcap might be the way to go.

It's not been abandoned it's just not got much work done on it lately.
But with windows 10 there have been some developments win winpcap and npcap, that make them still compatible but a bit confusing.
I know there are some posts here on the forum for how to make them work.

Try customizing some of the hotkeys in SC -- do they work?
The most likely culprit is another program grabbing those hotkeys.  For example Microsoft's OneDrive application is the most notorious one for grabbing PrtScr key without warning.

It was really fun to be involved in the feedback loop but my feedback to ayryq must have been very frustrating for him as my comments were like "make it sadder and also happier" or "Can you make the drums sound more like shh shshshts sksksksk".. :)
But somehow it kept getting better.
The only difficult thing for me was each new version had something new i liked and something from the previous one that i missed losing.. Too bad it wasn't a 10 minute song..

Ayryq might agree that the hardest part was getting it all to fit in EXACTLY 22 seconds with a suitably paced start and end...

General Software Discussion / Re: Which Windows 10 Updates should be avoided?
« Last post by mouser on June 10, 2021, 11:12 AM »
My approach has generally been as follows: MS will force an update if it's a very important security update, so i don't worry about updating the minute a new update comes out.
After an update has been out for a week or so I assume any catastrophic kinks have been worked out and let it update.
If you have concerns, I think maybe addressing them by doing a full drive image backup regularly and before major updates is the best way to address that, and skip worrying about updates.

Again, I think of it this way -- of all the things that can go wrong on the pc, windows updates are at the very bottom of the list below a hardware failure and a virus.  Having a good backup system in place addresses everything at once.

ayryq has made something amazing!

Here's two versions, which are similar but different, and both of which I love:



Which one is your favorite?

I find it kind of infuriating that this was enabled by default.  And how inconvenient it is to disable.

22s is the ideal time from my perspective, since that's how long the video of the intro lasts and i don't think i want to go any longer in the future.
I can imagine in the future trying to aim for a shorter intro video like 15 seconds.  And I can tweak video length down a bit.  But for now 22 seconds.

ill find it for you.. or happy to purchase it if there is a good place to get it.
It's "The Odd Couple" by Neal Hefti.

And remember I only need (can only use) about 22 seconds worth.

But obviously none capture the emotional attachment I have to the Odd Couple theme, so I'd still love someone making a cover of that, or something inspired by it, that I could use.
Or just having some variety of music by friends that I could swap around would be fun..
