Zlip792 - thanks for the compliments, much appreciated. Please go to the github site and create an issue entitled "Urdu Language File" and I'll work with you to get that language supported.

Boss, done, now waiting for instructions from. Monday and Tuesday are off here so will work much more in that days. I will try to post its review on some forums (not spamming - proper review) as well as for needed exposure for great handy app.

A translation issue in English (US) (in my opinion):

There was a while problem checking for updates

it should be:

There was a problem while checking for updates

I think it should be like this way.. Progressing well on Urdu translation... ~50% done.

Also I saved XML in Unicode, is it OK?

will you be taking bug reports for GNP in the windows consumer preview? I've ran into a minor issue while running it in the preview.

As a rule of thumb I don't troubleshoot apps on beta builds (which includes RCs, CTPs, etc.) of Windows. Too much changes. You can spend hours debugging some quirk in the build only to have that quick fixed in the following build.

I'm going to release a minor update this week Wednesday (Eastern Time) afternoon. Nothing major, some new language support that users have contributed and a few minor fixes for edge case issues I've been seeing on my machine. I may or may not put together an installer for this, installers tend to be a pain in the ass.

Cheers

Like a walker in the zombie apocalypse that just won't die, I've been poking at GNP again. I've been making some updates to the code, and you can follow the progress here https://github.com/shellscape/Gmail-Notifier-Plus/commits/master/ (as you can see, did quite a bit today)

I also updated http://shellscape.org/ to prominently feature GNP.

I still want to get a good update checking type thing integrated before I release. Unless you're checking back here frequently (and with the hiatus lately, that's probably not the case) or following me on twitter (@shellscape) you're not going to know theres a new update unless the app tells you. The code's been there for a while, but disabled and incomplete.

Well, I have good news today. I've finished the seamless background auto-update feature and the remaining bugs are resolved. I'm gonna run this build for a day or so to make sure nothing crazy happens and then I'll package a release. Here's a few shots of what's new:

Running for a few days with zero errors. So we're good to go. I have one sticky problem with the new installer for 3.5 (the new version) to solve with regard to setting the program shortcut in the start menu. WiX is a bitch to work with. Once I get that figured out, we're good for a release. Thanks to everyone for your patience over the last few months in waiting for your fixes to arrive in a build.

Just added 30 new languages. Managed to leverage Bing's translate service (as Google's is now pay-for) to write a small app to translate the XML for me. Mind you, it's probably not 100% correct, but will probably be enough for users that don't read English well.

hi Andrew,

i have used this nice app from the first versions. but now i have problems: i installed windows 8 release preview and now preferences can't open so i can't create an account.

i found a way i can check my mail by using an old version 2.1.2 cause it used a different way of showing preferences window. but for some reason it captures focus every time it checks mail, so current program becomes inactive and it's not convenient (like i can't continue to scroll by mouse wheel until i press somwhere in the window to make program active again).

it will be great if you could make the newest version to run on windows 8.

The 3.5 installer is ready. (I hope) I'd like a few pre-release testers to give it a shot before I release. If you'd like to help with testing the installer, please send me a private message.

    • AI Revolution or AI Bubble ? The Trillion-Dollar Question Splitting Wall Street and Silicon Valley

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  I agree with the answer to the question.
    • LibreWolf 151.0.4-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.4 Release Notes Notable changes: DRM now uses a per-site permission, instead of allowing all requested sites access, when DRM is enabled.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      Stopped using Windows as my main workflow. Migrated completed to Linux. Been happier than a clam without a single issue nor windows annoyance. Leaving Windows has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather I went through the tunnel and I'm already at the light.
    • AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179 by Taras Buria Apple's third-gen AirPods Pro 3 introduced a few important upgrades over the previous generation while retaining the old $249 price. Still, that is quite a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but the good news is that right now, you can save quite a lot of money on them, thanks to a new all-time low price. AirPods Pro 3 retain their classic look and form factor, with changes focused on the inside. These earbuds now come with five sets of foam-silicone tips, which sit much more securely in your ear, making the earbuds a perfect choice for physical activities and workouts. Additionally, new tips provide better passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, ANC is now much better at blocking outside noise, with Apple claiming the AirPods Pro mute up to two times more sound than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 3 also have heart rate sensors for activity tracking during workouts. They also support Live Translation and Hearing Aid mode. As for battery life, you get up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the case adding 20 more. The case supports wireless (Qi or Apple Watch charger) and wired charging over USB Type-C (cable not included).

      Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
