Hello Folks!

 

My Country is celebrating - "VIGILANCE AWARENESS WEEK" these days, & when I went to report something to the "Vigilance Ombudsman" website - the following anomaly caught my attention.

 

I wish to understand if it has entirely to do with the destination Web server? OR, my ISP is to be equally blamed for this?

 

Help me gain an Insight to its intricacy.

 

Thanks.

Says the cert date expired... Either your clock is off on your PC, or it really expired.. So yeah your going to get warnings..  That your connection is not private or someone is stealing something is a bad wording if you ask me..

 

Since it says your clock is correct for the date, then yeah the cert is OLD...

Getting the warning too.. But my browser doesn't try to scare the ###### out of me with saying stuff like my connection is not private or someone is spying on me..  Doesn't surprise me at all ;)  Not like governments are efficient at doing ###### ;)

 

Its a SHA-1 cert anyway, its good that its expired.. If not you should of been getting a warning about that ;)

Hello BudMan!

 

You are one amongst my favorite pals on this forum.:rolleyes:

 

So please suggest should I still go ahead & report everything I want to on this platform?

 

Your response clearly implies that the issue has nothing to do with my ISP spying over my activities..or anything like that.

 

Update ::: Our Government do not wants its Citizens to report over the matters of Corruption! The site in itself is reporting --Server down or a lookalike! Check out!

Well they have cert that is WELL expired, your talking months not days or hours.  I wouldn't use that site for anything, clearly nobody is monitoring it or they would know their freaking cert is expired.. You are prob the 1 user on the planet trying to go there ;) hehehe

 

Report the site is down to some other gov site that does work ;)

Very True!

 

It turns out as if this "Vigilance Awareness Week" is nothing but a Sham!

 

Central Vigilance Commission website is very much accessible at http://cvc.nic.in/.

 

However, the relevant Hyperlink through which we can lodge a Corruption complaint is......probably deliberately made Dysfunctional to truly 'celebrate' this occasion! Observation of such 'Awareness weeks' generally remain restricted to Photo-Ops & nothing more!:(

      It seems these features are for Business Profiles

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!

      Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
