Just another ping that the code itself is not OSS.  I like OSS, and this kind of thing as far as projects based on code that wasn't released under that licence gives the whole community a bad name, IMO.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: BUG? Second Past Always As Plain Text
« Last post by wraith808 on January 17, 2020, 09:11 AM »
In a perfect world:
  • source formatting would be retained always.
  • pasting with source formatting would be the default always (because that was what was actually copied).
  • alternative paste formats would be available via hot key and/or right-click options.


imho.

You could also have it as an option to scrub pastes or not.  Many might like the default to be plain text.  That's the way a few other clipboard managers handle it.

I'm hesitant to think about having a fundraiser unless I feel we deserved one and I don't feel like we've created enough new good things lately.

Though it is our 15th anniversary this march.  Something to chew on..


If we had smaller fundraisers periodically, then it wouldn't make having them such a burden... just a thought :)

Uphold handles the payments from BAT.  As I'm a content creator, I verified my account with Uphold for the BAT that I receive.

Today, I received the following e-mail:

You’re invited to join the closed beta program for our revolutionary new debit card that pays 3% CryptoBack and 1% CashBack* on all purchases.

The Uphold Card is a world-first allowing you to instantly toggle between 50+ funding sources, including cryptocurrencies, such as BTC or XRP, national currencies such as USD or GBP, as well as precious metals. With the Uphold Card, you have the freedom to spend what you want, when you want, wherever you want at nearly 50 million merchants and ATMs worldwide.

As a member of our closed beta program, you’ll receive a FREE Uphold Card before the public launch. All we ask in return is that you use the card regularly and send us feedback so that we can refine the card experience before we introduce it to the public.

As a thank you, beta cardholders will receive 3% CryptoBack and 1% CashBack during the beta program. You earn what you spend: spend BTC, earn BTC; spend USD, earn USD.

Did anyone else receive this?

Not entirely sure on the legalities, but maybe it would be easier to buy the track you want and then just torrent a high-quality version of the track to use as you wish? (If you're bothered about legalities, then you should probably check that haha).


Just because it might be legal, finding the torrent can be fraught with other problems, not least of these is the fact that others don't know that it's legal, and dealing with lawyers if you're unfortunate enough to be caught up in something related to downloading the torrent isn't the most pleasant thing.

(Oh, I wasn't pirating.  I was just downloading an archive track of something that I purchased off of X store...)

Yeah... I know I wouldn't use that as an alternative.

Living Room / Google Chrome Will Support Windows 7 After End of Life
« Last post by wraith808 on January 10, 2020, 12:27 PM »
Google has officially stated that they will continue to support the Chrome browser in Windows 7 to give businesses more time to migrate to Windows 10.

On January 14th, 2020, Windows 7 will reach End of Life, which means that unless you purchased Extended Security Updates licenses, Microsoft will no longer provide vulnerability or bug fixes for the operating system.

For businesses, migrating to a new operating system can be a long and arduous task and while some may argue that organizations have had enough time to do so, many factors could come into play that delays this migration.

This means that many businesses will continue to utilize Windows 7 even after it has reached End of Life and no longer receives critical security updates.

For organizations that rely on Google Chrome for their web applications or SaaS apps, Google has stated that they will continue to fully support Chrome on Windows 7 through at least July 15th, 2021.

Google Removed Over 1.7K Joker Malware Infected Apps from Play Store

Roughly 1,700 applications infected with the Joker Android malware (also known as Bread) have been detected and removed by Google's Play Protect from the Play Store since the company started tracking it in early 2017.

At least one series of such malicious apps did manage to get into the Play Store as discovered by CSIS Security Group security researchers who found 24 apps with over 472,000 downloads in total during September 2019.

"Sheer volume appears to be the preferred approach for Bread developers," says Google. "At different times, we have seen three or more active variants using different approaches or targeting different carriers. [..] At peak times of activity, we have seen up to 23 different apps from this family submitted to Play in one day."

Or I could just leave it and folks will just have to trust me.

For the record, I gave up caring about false positives in my own software years ago.  If my own software body of work or reputation isn't enough to convince somebody to use my software, I'm perfectly fine with said person not using it.  IMO, it's not worth wasting the cycles on.


Quoted for Truth.  When I started getting FP in tools that I created for myself, I realized that the AV tools had lost their way.  (Actually before then... but that just sealed it).

I have a piece of diagnostic software that downloads a file, then runs an xslt transformation on it- pretty bog standard stuff.  Got flagged as a trojan.   :-\

Do you know in advance the names that you want to delete?  Or are you going through the rows anyway to find them.  Just wondering the use case, as if you already have to page through to select, you can delete a word/line pretty easily in many editors.

N.A.N.Y. 2020 / N.A.N.Y. 2020 Release: Mass JSON Editor

NANY 2020 Entry Information

Application Name Mass JSON Editor
Version 1.0.0
Short Description A follow on to last year's NANY project Mass JSON Viewer, I've updated it and added the ability to edit.
Web Page in progress
Download Link https://my.pcloud.co...HrpTgNH3tapGe0smPxW7

Description
A follow on to last year's NANY project Mass JSON Viewer, I've updated it and added the ability to edit. Well, it's more like an overhaul, using some techniques and controls as a starting point for the features.  I haven't had as much time as usual, so there's still features that I can add, though the ones that are there are the ones that I needed to begin with, i.e. the ability to see what Newtonsoft did with the JSON, and cut and paste nodes and replace them.  I wanted to add the ability to edit in place, but that one fell by the wayside in the interest of getting it completed for what it was needed.

Features

Select a folder, and the application will iterate the folder, showing the json files contained within.  You can add objects, add arrays, remove any node, and copy and paste the nodes elsewhere - even replacing them.  ou can also edit the values in the area to the side where the type is shown. You can also save the changed file- overwriting your original file, or as a different file.

Screenshots

Installation

Just copy it where you want and run it!

Uninstallation
Just delete the folder.  It creates nothing anywhere else.

Other Notes

It's not very user friendly- if you switch to a different file before saving your changes, it will not warn you.  There is no undo.  It is slower than I'd like, so after you open a folder, there is a bit of a wait for very large JSON files.  I unfortunately haven't found anything with a similar featureset.

Phishing.jpg

from https://www.bleeping...ts-using-oauth-apps/

A phishing campaign has been discovered that doesn't target a recipient's username and password, but rather uses the novel approach of gaining access to a recipient's Office 365 account and its data through the Microsoft OAuth API.

Almost all Microsoft Office 365 phishing attacks that we see are designed to steal a user's login name and password by impersonating a Microsoft login landing page.

In a phishing campaign discovered by threat intelligence and mitigation firm PhishLabs, attackers are no longer targeting a user's login credentials, but are now using Microsoft Office 365 OAuth apps to hijack a recipient's account.

"This attack method is unique in that it's effectively malware targeting a victim's Office 365 account.  It's highly persistent, will completely bypass most traditional defensive measures, and is difficult to detect and remove unless you know what you're looking for.  It's really quite clever, and extremely dangerous," PhishLabs' Michael Tyler told BleepingComputer in conversations.

General Software Discussion / And another Google Service is biting the dust...
« Last post by wraith808 on November 22, 2019, 04:42 PM »
From: https://arstechnica....-google-cloud-print/

Google is killing Google Cloud Print
After a decade of making printing easy, Google just isn't interested anymore.

Cloud Print is—well, was—pretty cool. Printers are some of the dumbest, most archaic "tech" devices on Earth, but Cloud Print was the missing link, allowing your dumb printer to work with more modern devices. You could print from Chrome and Chrome OS, or print from a phone, or even print remotely over the Internet. The idea was that the Cloud Print server was built into every copy of the Chrome browser, and your printer probably connected to a computer running Chrome at some point, either over a local network or USB cable. Once your printer hit a computer running Chrome and you registered it to your Google account, Google took care of the rest. The printer was accessible from pretty much anywhere via your Google account, as long as the local computer was turned on. Chrome OS and Chrome on the desktop would automatically list Cloud Print printers alongside your local ones. Android supported cloud print throughout the operating system, and on iOS, Cloud Print was built into Gmail, Chrome, and the whole Google Docs suite.


Cloud Print was a huge success, as far as printing services go, and it even ended up being built-in to traditional printers. Google has a list of hundreds of cloud-ready printer models that connect directly to Google's service, no intermediate computer needed. So much for that.

Living Room / Re: Migrating from Ymail to Gmail
« Last post by wraith808 on November 16, 2019, 12:25 PM »
GMail has a feature to automatically forward messages being received at GMail to a different mail account. I make use of that feature. You should check if Yahoo has a similar feature. If it does (and chances are high, because it is a basic feature that almost all mail server software have built in), that would solve your problem of people stubbornly sending mails to your Yahoo mail account.


This is what I did to migrate from one GMail account to another, and it worked like aces.
