Hello, my name is Tyler.

I am 14, but don't let that discourage you and think I have no idea about anything. I strive to learn as much about Science, Math, Technology, and Politics as I can. My school doesn't teach me very much, especially about what I would love to know, so I instead use the internet to help me learn. I talk on a regular basis to several professors at the University of Nottingham about scientific research, including Phillip Moriarty, a physics teacher, and Martyn Poliakoff.

I try to be as helpful as possible, whenever and wherever I can, such as at School and in Internet communities. For example, at School I teach students in my CTE Drafting class whatever they don't understand, and teach my teacher plenty of things he doesn't know, I also do this in my Science class.

When it comes to learning outside of School, I have easy access to the areas they get their information from usually, so I do fact checking. This especially helps me learn about politics, because I can check what I learn about it in official documents. From this, I know what is actually true, and not just what the news wants me to believe.

I don't get what all the hate about Windows 8 is, and if you want to learn my stance on why there not very much proof backing up that Windows 8 was a failure, its just opinion being disguised as proof, then message me.

I hope I get to know you all, and hope I stay active in this community.

Welcome. You might want to take your 'phone number out of your profile, unless you want some nut jobs calling you :) Most people use the 'phone field to list their device(s).

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
