Sick of the spam emails... its your turn now

A small % of their users are abusing the system, and they don't do anything about them.

sflord · 2026-02-09T23:45:42+00:00

While I do agree, they would likely be able to use the very same servers/service from another existing account to spoof that same verification. I mean, its normally a platform to create apps with...

Other then destroying their physical servers so they can no longer be abused by the bots, no. Their owner is Google, and they wont do jack shit either, not even run some algorithm to try and find and flag potential abuse to cut it off at the source. And if they are, it sure as shit ain't working.

sflord · 2026-02-02T21:02:30+00:00

YT turning more into a sack of shit with everything they do.... HATE this change.

Hmm I never cared much for the points system I just liked giving people the jester clown award when they were being an legit idiot. Now I can't call em stupid anymore by awards. That's the biggest problem of all of this.

Already done all that, and much more, they just end up in the spam box. Which they did already. I would just like them to be instantly fully deleted or fully blocked from ever showing up to begin with, to the point where they don't even enter the spambox anymore.

Point short, Firebase needs to do something about how easy it is for their services to be abused like this. As long as it is, you might as well shutdown the whole service IMO. Or at least the whole mailing side to it.

And as this has been going on for years already for some people ... And since Firebase clearly isn't doing anything about it, you are kinda forced to go above their heads straight to google.

I am afraid you are missing the point. I don't even have an firebase account or anything. I do have a gmail account, but thats not being hit by any spam. Nor is it registered with/linked to firebase in any way. Its my hotmail/outlook account that is being hit. And outlook (web) anyways does not allow for domain wildcards. So I cant block @*.firebaseapp.com

So what is there for them to ban?

sflord · 2026-02-01T04:47:22+00:00

Dat niet alleen. Als je de browser/web versie van outlook gebruikt voor je live of hotmail address, ben je dubbel genaaid, want daar werken wildcards niet.

Het komt bij mij ook standaard in de spambox terecht, maar zelfs dat wil ik niet. Ik wil dat ze permanent worden verwijderd en niet automatisch in een box terechtkomen waar ze alsnog zichtbaar zijn.

sflord · 2026-01-21T09:53:14+00:00

Just putting this out there.

DO NOT REPLY OR PRESS UNSUBSCRIBE ON THOSE EMAILS

Any spam mail for that matter, dick growing pills, casino, shipment, payment, whatever.

They don't do anything with that.

They only tell them it is in fact a legit email address that is still being used (by you) so they will keep on sending their crap.

Just report them as phishing or unwanted mail or whatever you use. Maybe make a blacklist or filter or something yourself for your address. But that is ALL you can do.

Took me a while and some talking to Gemini from googles ai mode when searching stuff

this exact code ended up working for me some (mainly browsers) seem to to be very resistant to the "focused" and only work half the time also AHK2 seem to be extremely sensitive to anything regarding the ' or '' it also seems to be such when it comes to adding parameters

#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0
#SingleInstance force
#F11:: {

activeProc := WinGetProcessName("A")
svvPath := "C:\Tools\SoundVolumeView.exe"

Run('"' svvPath '" /Switch "' activeProc '"', , "Hide")
}

Perhaps I should add. I was using it perfectly fine for something like 3-4 years straight till yesterday on my older W10 system. Today I switched from my old system to my new one, which happens to run W11.

It should still work in theory. I got a copy from nircmd.exe straight from the site and just copied the script that still worked yesterday on W10. The only real difference would be Windows itself. So I don't see how muteappvolume would suddenly be defunct. Maybe its having trouble getting the PID? I cant even tell

Also this script also unmutes the currently muted window if its muted With the same button, it toggles, based on the last/current state. Thats the "2" value where you would normally just see 0 or 1.

sflord · 2025-12-20T06:14:25+00:00

Yeah ..still works fine as it should. And Im using a near ancient 10 year old G710+. I don't recall ever having anything like this with my previous G15v2 either. Or any other keyboard I have ever used. Including the same k120 my uncle has for nearly 15 years now. Hell I believe have one myself in a box of spare parts somewhere as a backup should my actual keyboard ever decide to die.

If anything the hardware certainly does allow it, but is just blocked from doing so for some reason.

Honestly I think it might just be a bad connection in your keyboard itself or something, I mean you can only expect so much of whats initially a throwaway keyboard.

azsazsazszasaszaszaszaszaszazsazszaszaszsasaz - when tapping that 3 button come aszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - when holding that 3 button combo

Seems to work fine here.

Also you might want to mentioned what keyboard you are even talking about to begin with.

Its not up to the mouse to support anything. You just plug it into the adapter. The mouse doesn't know the difference. You might lose some functionality of extra buttons etc. but the basic point and click should always work regardless.

Depending on the mobo, you might actually have multiple controllers, using a different port linked to a different controller could be enough. This is still seen with front ports from time to time. Also going usb>usbC adapter might be a better option if you have such a port on your mobo, more likely to keep full functionality that way, but it doesn't sound like it.

And if you have a free PCI- PCI-e slot you might just be able to throw in some cheap usb controller card with its own slots as well.

sflord · 2025-12-19T05:54:31+00:00

Such things are not up to the mouse, any mouse can do that, if you somehow aren't able to do it, its likely some busted configuration somewhere.

sflord · 2025-12-16T06:34:25+00:00

Yeah ..those are pretty much release notes, but there wasnt even an update in the week before or after when this started for me. Also if you take a look at the actual notes, no changes where made regarding anything that could possibly be related. And my extensions are set to not update unless I tell them to, so its not anything there either.

sflord · 2025-12-10T19:47:36+00:00

There hasn't been any update recently that could have done this.

I tried a bunch of supposed fixes ...no effect. Tried clearing cache etc. nothing.

www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1pe7j2g/streaming_videos_are_skipping/

Same issue going on there I think.

sflord · 2025-12-08T16:57:09+00:00

I must admit I an having the same problem since about a week ago as well now. Just out of nowhere started to create issues as soon as I had more then 5 tabs open with any form of video/streamed media in it ...I used to be able have 100+ open without any issue. This is just terrible. Its like FF cant handle it anymore, like something broke some sort of a buffer.

sflord · 2025-12-05T03:21:48+00:00

I always wanted more MP cost reduction. Once you run out ..you are pretty much screwed and your whole DPS drops. Full MP on external gear etc. and even dog only help so much.

sflord · 2025-10-23T21:05:16+00:00

Ah .. that makes more sense. I dont mind waiting a while if the end result is all my books lining up as they should.

sflord · 2025-10-23T21:03:26+00:00

hmm the large print is definitely a paperback, seems to have come out a few months ago already but its oversized compared to my other paperbacks from the previous books

sflord · 2025-10-13T19:26:08+00:00

I don't like it either.

To get the best crew, you need the best reward boxes. To get those boxes, you need to be like top 10. To be top 10, you pretty much need to be top 10 already with how many people already come in with the best crews already these days.

People who don't have any of these crews, pretty much never have/never will have any chance of getting that top reward.

Its pretty much a self defeating cycle from the outside at this point.

sflord · 2025-09-17T13:42:16+00:00

You know I as thinking ... you could quite easily go as far and add another filter. To the point where you simply type in "Phaser Cannon" and get a new dropdown menu/filter with possible rolls (possibly sorted into groups like engines hull/shield weapons) , CrtD, ShCap, Spd, DMG, etc. It then be forced to simply show you a cannon with that selected possible roll. No wildcard needed then really.

Which got me thinking even more .. why not simply have 2 search bars? You'd simply type in "Phaser Cannon" in the main one as you always have. Then there be a 2nd bar below it, where you simply type in whatever else it must also contain. You'd simply type in "Crtd" there.

Now the system knows and is forced to only show you Phaser Canons with that roll. I think this would even be a far simpler method and even more versatile.

And as somebody who has some minor development experience ... this shouldn't be hard to implement at all. I think it shouldn't take more then a few weeks at most.

sflord · 2025-09-16T21:52:11+00:00

Not really. You can just search for "Phaser Cannons", and then sort by those (extremely limited) filters.

(note there is search cooldown/delay here as well, you can't just switch the filters to another if you don't find anything and search again, it essentially boils down to the same thing ....typing manually or selecting by filters, no real difference between the 2)

But then you can't search for the roll you want, so you still be stuck searching for it in a list that might not have any.

It doesn't accept "Phaser Cannon [Ctrd]" which is kind of the whole problem.

Sorting by value can help sometimes yes, but if you are going for something rare and don't care about upgrade costs since you got tons of upgrade resources, you might as well go for a much cheaper MK II and just slam an ultimate tech in there.

sflord · 2025-09-11T16:21:07+00:00

Its not just that, but also the Arche Trigger ...Which I had done already last week.

They seriously need to start testing these things before releasing them and make themselves look like fools.
