Heads UP: this sub is unmoderated now

Hello guys. This sub has become unmoderated now. For some reason my mate Mesub abandoned Reddit, and this sub.

I don't have mod access anymore.

This is dangerous, because Reddit bots can easily ban it whenever for being unmoderated.

My advice is to adopt this sub on /r/redditrequest

This way it will be listed with active moderation.

If you want, you can start a new sub on https://scored.co

Sony WH-1000XM6 on-head detection

I've got them a few days ago,. They are brand new.

Sony WH-1000XM6 on-head detection sensor has a weird problem. The sensor is supposed to stop music and disable the noise canceling / ambient sound button when off head.

Sometimes when I put headphones back on, the sensor activates only music play, but the noise canceling / ambient button stays switched off, and sometimes activates only the noise canceling button / ambient, but the music doesn't start.

I know this is common when the head is sweating, but it happens even in a room with AC, when the head is not wet.

Is this a defect and should I return them?

Weird thing about JBL Sense Pro Bluetooth 6.0

The JBL Sense Pro have BT 6.0. When connected to my Pixel 8 with BT 5.3, the Bluetooth range was very short like with BT 4.0. It was dropping on first floor if the phone was on second floor.

I thought it was because of lack of optimization for BT 6.0.

Today I repaired the JBL, but instead of automatic pairing from the pairing pop up, I skipped it and paired on Android Bluetooth Pairing menu manually. Also when pairing I left the buds in the open case without touching them

The weird thing is, after manual pairing, Bluetooth connection works perfectly now. I can go around all my house without losing connection.

Maybe this is a coincidence. Or maybe there is a bug in the automatic pairing.

JBL Sense Pro are extremely fragile

After I dropped one earbud once, it quit working.

My JVC earbuds were dropped several times and still work.

I'm really depressed, because the JBL have audiophile sound, but due to extremely fragile design they are unusable.

Add this security option to prevent account hacking

To ensure maximum account security:

Changes to users password or email address should require email confirmation to protect against hacked accounts.

I know there are paranoid users who don't want to share their email. Making it a non mandatory option will help users who want maximum security against hackers.

Does AI powered search belong to Browsers?

I'm speechless now. I tried AI to find what I didn't know how to search, and resolved a lot of problems in one second. With just one simple question. I just said help me.

The fact that Big Tech is pushing the bubble on stock market is really wrong, even worse than the internet bubble.

But I cannot deny that search engines are basically stone age compared to AI. I mean, the search engines work based on know the question to find the answer. Now I can just say help me.

Every browser or search engine cannot compete without AI.

As simple as it gets.

Last idiotic update ruined copy & paste Chrome

These dimwits changed copy to copy with text shown in menu. Now I cannot find it without glasses anymore, because it become as long as the rest. Before there was only copy, it was short and easy to spot.

Add these security options for Reddit mods

Please introduce a subreddit deletion feature for moderators, similar to the account deletion process. This would save time for moderators looking to abandon or adopt subreddits, and resolve issues with accidental typos in subreddit names.

To ensure mods security:

Deleting a community should require confirmation from the moderator’s email address.

Changes to a moderator's password or email address should also require email confirmation to protect against hacked accounts.

Make these basic safety tools for mods on Reddit

Make possible to delete communities by mods, like you did for deleting accounts. This will save a lot of time for people who want to abandon or adopt communities. Or in case somebody makes a typo when naming a community.

For security make the delete community function by confirmation only from mod's email. Also, make change password and email possible only by confirmation from email. In case mod account gets hacked.

Beware of Droppers & Loaders

Hackers are using stealthy programs called Droppers and Loaders to avoid AV detection.

Droppers hide the actual malware inside, extracting and installing it secretly later.

Loaders are mini codes, later secretly connecting to internet to download the real malware.

They have low detection rate, from 5% to 25%.

They use fileless execution running only in system memory/RAM and encryption to look harmless and avoid detection.

AV scanners are not enough. Unlike AV, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) or behavioral monitoring tools react to what a program does, like unauthorized memory injection, rather than what it looks like.

Firefox VPN looks good

When I tried to access a site with a VPN extension, it was detected.

With Firefox VPN it worked, no detection.

Apparently, Tails OS on USB stick is best for secure browsing

Portable Tails OS on USB stick. It doesn't save any data.

All browsing data and downloads disappear after the end of session.

I don't know any browser offering the same browsing security.

Does iPhone auto switch between BT audio devices?

I was told iPhone doesn't have automatic multi switch between Bluetooth audio devices like Android does.

Is this true, or bullshit?

I asked Google AI what browser has better privacy

It's funny how Google AI is not defending Chrome. Highly likely they will fix this sooner or later.

Chrome is accused to be anti privacy. Are other browsers really better, or it's all the same?

>No, it is definitely not all the same. The anti-privacy fears surrounding Google Chrome are valid. Because Google's primary business is behavioral profiling and advertising, Chrome natively tracks your habits. Other browsers are functionally and fundamentally better because they block trackers by default and do not monetize your data.

> Brave Browser. > >Why it’s better: It blocks third-party ads, tracking cookies, and fingerprinting automatically the second you install it. > >Compatibility: It is built on the same open-source engine as Chrome (Chromium), which means you can install all the same extensions from the Chrome Web Store. > >Pros: Doesn't require hours of tweaking to be secure. > >Cons: Includes optional cryptocurrency/rewards features that some users feel clutter the experience.

>Mozilla Firefox

>Why it’s better: It is entirely independent of tech monopolies (using its own Gecko rendering engine), making it the best defense against Google controlling how the web works.

>Pros: Highly customizable. It allows you to use highly effective blocking extensions (like uBlock Origin) that are difficult or impossible to run properly on Chrome-based browsers.

>Cons: Out of the box, it is not as aggressively private as Brave; you have to adjust settings to disable telemetry.

> Tor Browser:

>Why it’s better: The absolute gold standard for true anonymity. It bounces your web traffic through a decentralized network so your browsing can never be traced back to your location.

>Pros: Maximum security.

>Cons: Because it bounces your connection globally, websites will load much slower. It is better used for specific, highly sensitive browsing rather than everyday web tasks.

ESET free trial doesn't activate

I tried ESET free trial. It's asking only the email to receive the code for activation. When I enter the email, it says error and asks if I want to buy it.

I checked the site. It's the official ESET site.

Is this a scam, or a bug?

What AV has the best customer support

Norton has a good customer support technically, by phone, chat, and remote computer connection, but the technicians are not skilled. After a lot of time the average technician was unable to fix the problem, he had to call their chief who resolved the problem in a few seconds.

AV that can scan UEFI

I just learned that only ESET and Defender can scan UEFI from the top AV available.

I wonder why nobody else can. AV is useless without UEFI scan.
