Hi guys, so I did notice that YT did change some age verification and tools like YT-DLP & Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass aren't working anymore what is pretty bad. YT uses many age checks even for videos which don't need that. I don't know whether the video channel owner set age check ON or whether YT does it by itself. So the problem is I have to login to goog account to bypass the age check what is some detour so I don't wanna login every time when any video has enabled the age check so this sucks. Even I don't wanna stay logged in all the time on YT / Goog account because of that. I also just don't understand the sense of those age checks on YT. Seems t…

Hi guys, got a new small problem. I would like to assign a app XY version (newer) with specific file types (all images for example). Problem is its still open all image files with the OLD version of my app. Why? How to change that? The image app I'm using is a portable app and even when I choose the newer version of that portable app via path / app select it still opens it with the old version. Otherwise I can't select the app itself (path) when trying to assign it from Standard Apps setting window. Look... ...when I choose that other app it opens the files with the old version 7.8. Also when trying to choose the app itself via single file type assign etc …

Hi guys, I got a new question. Today I was checking my services in Windows task manager and by random I have seen that this NlaSvc service is changing the status from running to stopped all the time without to stop. Why? What is that and how to stop that? It should keep on OR off like all other services too. Does anyone know how to do that? Otherwise I think its not normal that the service is switching from On to Off all the time or? Maybe you know it and can help to stop that loop. greetz

So Microsoft has quietly been integrating all sorts of preparation including by having Windows File Explorer depend on Copilot so it cannot be removed https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/pull/2853/files . At least it can be disabled after installation. Some privacy geared projects like this which is download able from its main page https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil It seems Microsoft is trying to figure out a way to collect more data to monetize it inevitably. Having AI highly bound in the Windows UI is inevitable. Recall is particularly invasive as it takes screenshot every 5 minutes and OCRs them and saves them. I would not mind if it was opt…

Winamp is a multimedia player launched in 1997, iconic for its flexibility and wide compatibility with audio formats. Originally developed by Nullsoft, it gained massive popularity with still millions of users. Its development slowed down, but now, its source code was opened to the community, allowing developers to improve and modernize the player to meet current user needs. It really whips the llama's ass. https://github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp

Hi guys, I found a strange problem today. Somehow my icons (ico extension) aren't displaying anymore in Windows Explorer when using the middle listed View options (small symbols, list view & detailed view). All other views showing the icons correctly. So I'm always using the detailed view. Does anyone know what the problem is and how fix that? I made a image where you can see the problem showing a folder with few icons with all view options. As you can see the three view methods at first on image do not displaying the real icons but all other views displaying the right one. Why? Any ideas how to fix it? greetz

Hi guys, I wanted to update Firefox but it hangs. Never happen before! Do you have same problem? Its showing 0 Bytes all the time. greetz

Hi guys, so few day's ago I found this browser called ZEN and gave it a try. Somehow I like the GUI / View / Vertical Tabs style and it looks cozy. The bad thing is the browser has some issues like lagging / slowness / not saving all settings and other things Firefox itself does not have. So my question is why using ZEN instead of Firefox? When is the vertical tab view coming for Firefox (standard version)? Did you try this browser already and if yes what do you think about it? greetz

Hi guys, can anyone tell me how do inspect anything on website or browser UI itself like MENU whats getting displayed when clicking on it? So the element picker works fine for all what I can see but what about the elements I don't see? At the moment I want to inspect a browser bookmark menu where I just see the button I need to click on it to see the entire menu. How to manage that? Also same with other elements, how to manage that at all? Do you have hints? Is there any kind of PAUSE function / button / shortcut I could use / hold to keep the element visible so long till I can select it with element picker etc? greetz

Hi guys, quick question. After latest update I did notice that the Chrome / Brave guys changed the menu padding sizes and now everything is pretty large and I have to scroll endless thru my bookmark menus etc. I really don't know why they always changing that like they want. Even for this menu padding I can't find any option in settings to change it like I want. That's also annoying. My question now is how I can change it back as it was before? So I know in Firefox I can create a custom chrome folder and userChrome.css file to customize styles but how to make it in Chrome? Maybe you know it and can tell me. greetz

Hi guys, just wanted to check out this website to find anything interesting channels etc and I did notice that there aren't any previews working when you hover with mouse on any channel or search results to have a quick look / action to check this out quickly. Instead of that I have to load the stream in new tab (waiting, waiting, waiting ..). I really hate those website do not offer any quick live preview whats just a total time waste to load any channel for its own. Uhhmm! Not very advanced you twitch guys for 2024. So unfortunately there are still other live website NOT doing a live preview on thumbnails (YT too!) and forcing us to load every single channel.…

This is context to the recent blasts that happened in lebanon where multiple pagers simultaneously blasted, now afaik pagers have encrypted channel for communication . So how can they pull it off ? Is this some kind of very very sophisticated wireless attack ? link to news : https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/17/world/israel-hamas-war-news

Hi guys, after a short while Chrome / Brave was updated and I did recognized that some websites aren't working anymore with extensions like IDM. I tried to debug that problem using HTTP Debugger to log all requests (in Firefox everything is working 1A) of Chrome / Brave & IDM extension and now I see that the cookies aren't logged (nothing there) what's also a reason why IDM does fail. For some sites I get that problem only when using private window mode but for some the normal window mode does also fail with IDM but Firefox works in same situation. Seems that the goog guys did fu*ked up anything because I have same issues with reset Chrome / Brave / Ungoogled Chr…

Hi guys, so in the past when using yt-dlp I did download videos by choosing number for audio & video, Now I would like to create a more complex format selection template to pick my desired formats (first / second / third etc) with specific conditions. I did check out those example templates called "Format Selection examples" and somehow I would like to know how to specify different types of the frame rate for example. So I can use < > = / syntax but I think the OR "/" syntax I can only use when adding another optional rule what I want to prevent. So at the moment I'm using that template... -f "bv[ext=mp4][fps<=60][height<=1080]+ba[ext=m4a]" -S vcod…

Hi guys, I have a specific question again and need some help. So mostly when using Brave browser it happens that sometimes the current tab just get closed right away after clicking on a link (any) or choosing a bookmark from my list to load in same tab. I thought the problem could be related with using uBO extension but I'm not sure because the problem just happens sometimes and also just randomly. I can't reproduce that problem if I want. Using uBO logger (keep open all the time till problem happens) did not help to see anything about that logged etc. My question is whether there would be an other method to log everything in browser about closing the tabs and w…

Hi guys, just have a small RegEx question. So want to create a uBlockOrigin rule for some random website names using RegEx and in this case I would like to check for the entire URL length itself. Lets say the URL length of the URL I want to block has a length / size of 100 chars or more then I want to block it but how to specify the length check? Example URL: 112 length in this case. https://random_name.random/seven/one?raondom_query_names=random&suda=172322121&something=something&blabla=supsup Here I just want to check the complete URL length (112) whether its 100 or higher and if so then I want to block this URLs. I don't remember or get it w…
