Quick idea - can you add the ability to create a reoccuring option... like Monday, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri - at 7:30 - play ALARM.MP3.... also can you add a adjustable snoose???

Done! Added an option for events to happen regularly and the clock updates itself as such :p

hey thats awesome! I got it counting down until my B-day:) but umm, if you try to move an icon behind the counter (when its transparent on the desktop) the icon gets stuck. That may be something hard to fix, but I thought I'd let you know.

The CPU usage used to be really low, then I added milliseconds. Would anyone really miss it if I pulled them out again??

Latest version has the option of having just floating text, and no background.

I'll upload the source after this round of updates/fixes.

Well, if your like me and NEVER turn your computer off, you just need 4 varibles, VB, and a timer that tinks every one seconds.

Have a SEC, MIN, HR, DAY varibles and the tiemr control. Hell, here would eb the code.

Dim SEC, MN, HR, DAY as Integer

SEC = 0

MN = 0

HR = 0

DAY = 0

-------------------------------------

(on the timer set for 1000)

SEC = SEC + 1

If SEC >= 60 then

MN = MN + 1

SEC = 0

End if

If MN >= 60 then

HR = HR + 1

MN = 0

End if

If HR >= 24 then

DAY = DAY + 1

HR = 0

End if

If DAY >= 21 then

Label1.Caption = "PICK YOUR DAMN GIRLFRIEND UP!"

DAY = 0

End if

There ya go, its a hard coded 3 week count down. For the record, i use military time.

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Just checked for updates on my Windows 11  machines and my Windows 10 machines. Windows 10 is getting the June cumulative but my Windows 11 machines aren't finding a June cumulative.  Odd.

    • Microsoft to default-block more files in New Outlook and Outlook Web

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft to default-block more files in New Outlook and Outlook Web by Sayan Sen Back in 2019, Microsoft announced a big change to its list of blocked file types for attachments. At the time, Microsoft stated that it was doing so to improve security by adding "file extensions to the BlockedFileTypes property of existing OwaMailboxPolicy objects." The tech giant deems such file types as no longer secure for attachments and is a good way to protect customers from potentially malicious attacks from threat actors. Over time the company has expanded the block list for Outlook for the Web and also the New Outlook for Windows app. In a new message via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, the company has announced that two more such file types will be added. However, the tech giant feels this should not affect most users, as these "newly blocked file types are rarely used." It writes: "As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security in Outlook Web and the New Outlook for Windows, we’re updating the default list of blocked file types in OwaMailboxPolicy. Starting in early July 2025, the following file types will be added to the BlockedFileTypes list: .library-ms .search-ms" For admins, Microsoft says that no action is required if their respective organisations do not rely on the aforementioned file attachments. However, if they are still in use, then admins can "add them to the AllowedFileTypes property of your users’ OwaMailboxPolicy objects before the rollout." Speaking of which, this is set as a "major change" with the rollout expected to start in early July 2025. You can find information on how to do that in the official documentation on Microsoft's website here. For those wondering, the following file types are allowed by default: ".avi, .bmp, .doc, .docm, .docx, .gif, .jpg, .mp3, .one, .pdf, .png, .ppsm, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptm, .pptx, .pub, .rpmsg, .rtf, .tif, .tiff, .txt, .vsd, .wav, .wma, .wmv, .xls, .xlsb, .xlsm, .xlsx, .zip" You can find the list of blocked file types here on this Microsoft support article on the company's official website. If you are a system admin, you can view the message on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center under ID MC1090702.
    • TB Header / JTBT1 - MSI MAG Tomahawk

      By aclarke_31 · Posted

      Thanks Nik. This card is kinda what I'm looking for. Do you know if this connects to the motherboard via the TB Header / JTBT1 Header or if this is via the PCI Express slot? I was wondering if there was just a cable I could purchase that would give me a TB connection, since the header is already on the mainboard. Thanks
