Afterall, they are almost up my butt. Im very sorry for posting here but i am completely out of ideas!! I have a question, is it legal for a comcast internet tech to tell me i have to install something on my computer that in turn erased all my bookmarked pages that i use for reference for work? Well, as soon as it was finished installing I imediatly opened google crome to start my work writing ebooks on political topics.
To my dismay, ALL of my reference matirial I had spent months looking for and bookmarking was gone!! No bookmarks!! I called the service center, they sent out a tech guy to my place again.
He told me that he was not sure why they make people install this software because people are unhappy about it usually. He also told me that other people have had the same problem before and that there is nothing they can do about it. This is unacceptable to me!! It has ruined my focus and direction associated with my writing as I now have absolutely no references!! Please someone tell me this is illegal so i can put a stop to this kind of guided misfortune!! Thank you!
Just wanted to thank you for this simple, clear and concise post on downloading! It really helped me to understand this topic. I really appreciate it! I became instantly addicted with torrent downloading when i first found BitLord. I constantly downloaded discographies and many movies and games.
With all of this foolish downloading came the most unexpected consequence: a copyright notice. When you download via a torrent, your IP number appears in a list of uploaders and downloaders. This list shows up in the torrent program of everyone sharing the files with that torrent. The owner of the copyright or a proxy just has to download that torrent to see the IP numbers of all the people sharing that file.
They can determine which ISP you are using to share the file. They then send those IP numbers to their lawyers who get a court order to get the ISP to tell them who is downloading that file using that IP number. Quite possibly, yes. On charter or any other ISP. Illegal is illegal, regardless of whether or not you get caught. Thank you for writing a tech blog that filled in some blanks re: why my ISP has a hard-on for uTorrent and NOT being completely full of s!
Our proudest moment was watching Star Wars Episode I a few weeks before it was in the theaters. So what if the movie sucked? It saved everyone 10 bucks and it proved that if we wanted something, we could get it. And they did. If machines could get purple hearts, that box has a couple and is quite sick with adware as I write.
I thought the p2p nature of file sharing would obfuscate the origins and destination of each file. I further thought the hashing would make identification of the filename or its contents, source, destination, etc too difficult to crack for an interested 3rd party to look any further into. Again…great blog — will add it to my shortlist of "Blogs that don't suck ," to be published around yrs end. Still the popup??? I think you're above that. Also — consider mentioning that you "consulted for" Microsoft.
Do you really want tech readers, especially software engineers to know that you were on the payroll? The popup timing was coincidental. Should also show up only once every 6 months unless you clear cookies.
It was a wonderful experience. Do you think that could be triggering it? Thanks again! Sky my ISP has given my ip information to an internet troll I am now waiting on a letter from them demanding money is this legal.
Hi Leo if you get warning from your isp about downloading illegal content and you stop downloading it for a while how can you tell them to remove the warning stars that you get from them.
They should eventually go away. If not, your only option would be to contact your ISP directly by phone or email. PDF documents are notoriously hard to alter, for instance, without the necessary permissions and any changes to them can be picked up easily.
You can also set a password lock on your PDF file or even use Watermarks on them to prevent other people from changing them. PDF documents despite all their pros can and do get corrupted. Why do PDF documents get corrupted? One of the main reasons why that happen is because a sub-par PDF creator was used to generate them. Some experts also believe overuse of a PDF file causes corruption, mostly because of software glitches.
Your PDF files may also corrupt if you view them online directly instead of downloading them first. Opening a PDF file on your browser instead of a dedicated reader may also result in the corruption of the file. This may be due to the missing plug-in on your browser that enables you to view PDF files. When you send PDF files over email, there are chances of them getting damaged. Microsoft increases Windows 11 rollout pace to Windows 10 devices.
Microsoft November Patch Tuesday fixes 6 zero-days, 55 flaws. Microsoft: Old Windows updates now expire to improve speed, security. Windows Microsoft is investigating these eight problems. Microsoft fixes bug blocking Azure Virtual Desktops security updates. Hi, I didn't see a serious corruption when tested this on a VM!
After the command the file system is marked as corrupted and chkdsk run on next boot Could the serious corruption be the result of running chkdsk containing the bug reported before? That's just my uneducated guess. I am going to try to corrupt inside Windows Sandbox, then a VM to see if it does try to reboot and repair.
Were these tests done on platter drives or SSD? Upon doing so Windows managed to scan and repair the drive successfully on every attempt, usually in a matter of seconds, and have me back at the Windows login screen within a minute. I tested this multiple times on each machine, in some cases running the command in excess of ten times before restarting, and not once did the drives break in such a way that they were unrecoverable.
I'm not saying this isn't a problem or its sensationalized, however the testing I did showed no instance of the drives becoming corrupted beyond repair, or something that Windows couldn't fix in the usual way. Thank you for your Herculian effort. I think on some computers maybe the ones who already have some incosistency in the data on the disk , it can corrupt the hard drive. Iat least it triggers some procedures, that are not standard. The results seem varied. In my tests on a VM, it trashed my install as shown by the video in the article.
Other tests on the same VM were resolved easily via Chkdsk. I have no explanation as to why it was easily fixed in some tests and not in others. After reboot chkdsk will run multible times, so the machine wourd start in "automatic repair mode". Close it, it will start again in normal mode without any errors in the filsystem event 98 triggered.
Would this work on Server OS, e. Sounds to me, like you have some evil deeds : :D :. Just thinking like a student working in an RDS session during a lesson would think Tested this in Windows server version and got corrupted disk warning.
The 0x80 type attribute and 0x2b instance tag in the 0xafe0f has allocated length of 0x4cc instead of 0x4cb I was going insane trying to figure out why my system had been acting up for the past few weeks. I lost a major chunk of important data and thought a power outage had damaged all 3 of my drives. It doesn't initialize from Disk Management. Will be trying a few other solutions I've read up on.
