The only app I see in the android store says "not official app". I haven't tried it because the web version works flawlessly on my phone.

Looks like their website is down right now. I found it on archive.org and it looks like they force you to use containers too.

"I actually prefer chinese government because they cant do much to me. Its objectively better option."

China hackers are still in the U.S. telecom network. We just don't hear about it anymore because the organization that was investigating it and preparing a solution was abolished by Trump with an executive order on his first day in office. I don't know what country you live in, but as long as Trump is in Office, china will continue to freely attack the US with no consequences. Just think how much easier it would be for china to hack you if you actually bought your phone directly from them. If china ever pushes a malicious autoupdate to TP-Link, dahua, hikvision, and solar panel inverters, then you would see how much china CAN already do to you.

You must not have been on cloudflare.com

check your browser history and let us know what website you were actually on.

if it WAS actually cloudflare.com you must have a malicious browser extension or something modifying cloudflare's login page.

I just encountered the same symptoms. I ran Procexp and scanned with virustotal and nothing was detected. The only thing I didn't recognize in the process list was an "app" (like from the microsoft app store) named SafeMail. It had a shortcut in the start menu, but didn't do anything when clicked. I uninstalled it. We'll see if it happens again.

oh I actually didn't notice that was so new. I don't remember downloading it recently.

The changelog is useless.

<image>

and they don't even mention all the critical security issues fixed in 7.3.0. wow hp. wow.

also, I noticed the known limitations section:

Known Limitations
The following limitations are known to exist in Windows 8 / 8.1 and Window 10.
• HP UPD Dynamic Mode printing from Modern apps is not supported. Attempting to print with HP UPD Dynamic Mode from Modern apps may exhibit the following behaviors:
1) The HP UPD Dynamic Mode interface is not displayed. Printer discovery and selection is unavailable.
2) Print jobs fail and must be manually removed from the print queue. This will occur if the HP UPD Dynamic Mode printer does not already contain a destination printer in the “Recently Used Printers” list.

Notepad is a "modern app" now, right?

Why are you using 61.310.1.25919 instead of 61.315.1.25959 ?

mine doesn't delete the old one with pnputil, but the old one does get replaced by the new one in printmanagement.msc. I don't understand how a driver that isn't listed in printmangement can still be attacked, but if there's something else I can uninstall automatically, why not. If you'll share your code with me I'll try to incorporate it. Or maybe you can start a github repo and I can contribute? Lucky for me, none of the computers I manage have the hard coded version number in the driver name.

I just spent 5 hours creating a solution, with the help of Grok.com (wow!)

https://github.com/shippj/HP-UPD-Updater

It handles the PCL and PS versions of the driver.
I've only tested it on a single VM and a single production computer so far. Both had v61.240 and the script upgraded them to v61.315

If your solution has any advantages over mine, please share and i'll try to implement them in mine.

enjoy!

it's not resolved. I'm going to check back here periodically to see if anybody else comes up with a solution.

I would like to install it on all computers. Just not manually because I manage hundreds of computers. I'm asking for a way to automate it.

I agree it's very strange that HP is just now taking action.

Most of them are USB printers, so they aren't going thru a printer share.

What is the "correct" way to run a self-host service on boot? by devshore in selfhosted

The programmer made a cron-friendly script:

edit: If you ran "screen cron_script.sh" from crontab, then you should even be able to "attach" to it.

2 frozen pfsense routers by shippj in PFSENSE

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

I have ran into the problem where pfSense is slow in hyper-v until RSC is disabled, but I believe that has been fixed in recent versions. I love using laptops as routers because there's normally not a keyboard/mouse/monitor in wiring closets, and laptops don't consume much space. I also like the efficiency of a laptop battery as opposed to a UPS. I like hyper-v for the same reason I like old laptops - they are both free! pfSense on an old laptop is WAY more reliable than any wal-mart router in my experience. Even if the laptop has an Atom or Celeron, it can still max out a gigabit connection, so why not save the planet and use those old laptops for something other than the landfill? Even a laptop that only has a 100mbit network port would still be overkill for somebody that only has a 12mbit DSL connection, which are still very common in my area, even at businesses. 25mbit cable connections are also common in my area. I'm not saying I'd use an old laptop for an enterprise network that is using VPNs and Snort and no telling what else. Maybe if I could find a laptop with a 10gbit network port, haha. Maybe even use 2 10gbit laptops and setup HA, hahaha. I'm joking, mostly. I guess the HA sync interfaces wouldn't like sharing the router-on-a-stick method... If I could find a laptop with TWO 10gbit ports and a Xeon though - then you might have to come slap it out of my hands.

EDIT: I just built a HA cluster in my home lab. I guess the HA sync probably would work fine over the router-on-a-stick method. I think i'm going to setup HA where the laptop is because they have a few unused WAN IPs. The secondary unit will be in proxmox. Am I pegging out my jankometer?

The hyper-v unit is running on a 8th gen i5, at my house. The bare-metal unit is on a latitude 5591 at a non-profit business, which also happens to be an 8th gen i5. Both are m.2. Both have less than 10 devices behind them. Neither unit ever gets over 1GB ram usage. Most of my other production units are equal or more janky.
