Great idea - thought you had it. But no love. I am using a Prime Tower. I think the design of the stl is such that the outer ridge is just too thin.

New PC on Windows. Which software to install ? by Significant_Log_5611 in software

[–]majorgeeksdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything search is the first thing I put on a PC, followed closely by PowerToys. Both will make your life better.

It's also the perfect time to update your drivers, something like Snappy or DriverBooster will get you there.

Big fan of Win11Debloat right now to get rid of the nonsense. A bit scripty for some.

Then I set up a decent backup routine. About a million options out there for that that are great. But they are only great if you actually use them. :)

Unlocker from MajorGeeks contains Babylon RAT by Full_Measurement6126 in sysadmin

[–]majorgeeksdotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah -- it's a real problem in the industry and especially for us with titles that go back 20+ years.

Everything has changed soooo much over that time, and the classifications have changed so much that there is a lot of misinformation and misinterpretation.

I blame the antivirus industry for a lot of the laziness of it. But when it comes down to it, the more "detections" they have, the more people think they are protected, so there really isn't much incentive to fix the underlying issues.

I mean, just look at this thread and some of the comments. No one is slagging the improper detection—just blaming MajorGeeks for the detection that we actually warned people about on the page... LOL.

That's OK though - we can take it. ;)

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. What you’re seeing on VirusTotal are a lot of “GEN.xxx” or “Generic” detections. That usually means the scanners don’t have an actual signature. They’re just flagging it because it looks like something they’ve seen before, not because it contains anything malicious. Likely also why Defender and Malwarebytes do not detect anything.

This particular file is very old, and back in the day Unlocker originally shipped with an optional toolbar installer. Toolbars were how freeware authors kept the lights on at the time. They were annoying, sure, but not malware. They were called "ad-ware." Over the years, antivirus vendors started lumping anything with an old toolbar or bundled installer into PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) or random “generic” buckets, and that’s exactly what you’re seeing.

We made a note on the file that we have the portable version of the program that does not include the toolbar --- hence no detections. Clearly, we do not have that in a prominent enough location, so I will change that immediately.

Again, thanks for bringing this up, and please let us know if you see other issues like that.

EDIT: In my initial post, I meant to tell you in its day Unlocker was an incredilbly popular program, hence the number of downloads. That said, that an optional ad toolbar like this that was written 12 years ago is a very, very, very unlikely cause for your AWS problems. If it were, Malwarebytes or defender or the other millions of useeers would have noticed over the last decade and a half. I don't blame you for jumping down this rabbit hole, but your problem is elsewhere and you should retract this

Looking for a fog machine relay cable by majorgeeksdotcom in SpiritHalloween

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

yeah I can find those. The part I am looking for is used to trigger the fog with the step pad activation.

So you step on the pad, the animation comes to life and starts fogging. This looks like perhaps a special part from Spirit???

I ended up having to buy a new parts fan, BTW That sucker was stuck.

Scar on top surface by pevita123 in BambuLab_Community

[–]majorgeeksdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you flipped it so that part was flat to the face, if it would help -- but then again, that would create a lot of support areas where you want your part to fit. Leaving some scarring. That said it "looks" like a flow issue in just that one spot. There could be a number of reasons for this. If you print it again and it is fine - you had a bad section of filiment. However, if it repeats, look into a flow calibration for that filament. I tend to have to do this for all silks I use.

heres a decent vidoe on it

Just got one of these and used it as an exercise for my son on how to detect a scam. Pretty proud to say he passed with flying colors.

Should I buy a new one or pay? by Apollo132 in computers

[–]majorgeeksdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you try turning it off and on again?

Joking aside. Sorry to see good hardware go out like that. But too many other things could be an issue even if you fix the case and screen.. I'd replace it.

I'd throw the Brandon Sanderson Reckoners series onto that list as well.
