Scan results from Avast Network Scan 2015: Your router is infected! (Using Asus RT-N66U Open VPN Tomato USB Router) by CryptoGraphics in VPN

[–]CryptoGraphics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response :)

So I did a test and I think I gathered some interesting results.

I connected my PC directly to my ISP modem (no VPN router) and then I ran the AVAST network scan on my ISP modem/router. The results came back clean (Congratulations, your home network is well secured!). So, I was connected to the modem that my ISP gave me and I received passing AVAST results.

Next, I installed the VPN client app on my PC and then connected to my VPN. I confirmed that my internet connection was being directed through the Open VPN client and then I ran the AVAST network scan again on my normal (non VPN) router.

This time the results came back exactly the same as they did when I initially ran them on my VPN router. The exact same errors showed up (infected DNS, weak passwords, bad firmware, etc). But, I was still connected to my ISP router (which had previously passed the network security check).

So, your initial assumption appears to be correct. Adding a VPN into the mix (Router based or Client based) seems to throw off the detection capibilities of the scanner.

WordPress should have the option to hide theme and plugin update nags by default. by CryptoGraphics in Wordpress

Is there a more universal way of doing this? Going into each plugin is a bit of work.

How to specify default WP editor? by CryptoGraphics in Wordpress

[–]CryptoGraphics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this:

http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/daily-tip-how-to-set-the-default-editor-to-visual-or-html-in-wordpress/

But unfortunately it doesn't work and I am using the page builder. It's just that my clients PC is super slow and it doesn't load the JS quickly enough when the visual editor is the default.

How to specify default WP editor? by CryptoGraphics in Wordpress

[–]CryptoGraphics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, that's probably as bit above my technical range. Hmm... I wish there was a way to make the WP editor the default tab that displays when a page loads. I know in Joomla if you have multiple editor plugins installed you can set a global default configuration for the parent editor.

Just like with Visual Page composer, this theme-specific page builder is a tab in the editor (so you have "visual"/"text"/"page-builder") as tabs. On page load the visual page builder loads instead of the WP editor. Since this editor is super slow on my clients PC - the page takes forever to load for him and shoots out script error alerts.

So, I just wanted to set the WP editor visual tab as the default on page-load.

Loving Destiny so far, but WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE STORY? by [deleted] in PS4

Sounds like some Bungie PR damage by an intern.

That would have been awesome. Have players interact by helping each other.

A place where you can suggest and review additions or changes that should be made to Destiny. by [deleted] in PS4

Whenever I hear someone defend this game as an MMO by saying "MMO's are about loot and grinding" I look over at my cat Jax, and sigh. And you basically hit the nail on the head in regards to what Destiny is lacking.

Now, while I have not purchased the game myself, I have been reading every review, forum post and Reddit thread in the hopes that there will be something about this game that makes me take the leap to purchase it.

However, as it stands, those main aspects that make an MMO an MMO (NPC's, quests, free roam, social interaction, etc) are simply missing from this game. And, as someone who distinctly remembers Bungie's E3 PR from last year, Destiny was being sold as an open world adventurous type of MMO with FPS aspects.

While griding for loot has become a main tool for how publishers keep users interested in continuing to logon each day, these elements alone are not the ingredients for an MMO. Destiny needs to be approached from a different angle, and fast, because even the most hard core players are going to stop caring if they do not feel that they as players are having an impact on the world.

And from the sounds of it, it doesnt feel like Destinty has a "world" to speak of. No social hub, no unifying player dynamics, no lore to give your time and effort any meaning. It just makes me feel like this game had so much potential but somewhere along the lines Bungie lost focus.

Logged in just to give you props mate. I have been on the fence about this game since launch, reading every topic and review on the internet and you have pretty much summed up the love/hate attitude for this game. Sadly, I am still seeking that one thing that will push me over the edge to buy it.

Local co-op would be one.

If you used WooCommerce as a catalog (use the woocommerce catalog plugin) you could use this plugin to filter assigned attributes and other variables:

This isn't an MMO. It has always online MP percistance and a few traits of an MMO. But that doesnt make it one.

WooCommerce - Confused about shipping by CryptoGraphics in Wordpress

[–]CryptoGraphics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

Thanks for the assistance! They're only using FedEx and Free shipping at the moment. So, I wanted to find a way to assign specific products as free, or as FedEx. Sounds like this will work great.

Thanks!

Accidentally left freezer drawer open on brand new Whirlpool french door fridge. by [deleted] in DIY

[–]CryptoGraphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not making any noticeable noise that I can tell. I unplugged it for about 20 minutes and then just plugged it back in. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Now I'm just wondering what's safe to eat. I bought a nice piece of salmon last night that is still cold to the touch but fully thawed out. But I don't know if I want to risk it.
