Can you beta testers verify the existance of ad or spywares, if any? One of the previous "back page news" threads spreaded rumors about Cydoor.

Thats what i would like to know.

Is it not just another torrent downloader?

What does it have that is SO amazing? that ppl wont stop raving about it.

It's more than a downloader since it's decentralized in the sense that everyone is a tracker, along with that you search for files from within the client, so *AA can supposedly only shut down users, not web sites. (assuming exeem doesn't connect to some host that's necessary for the whole thing to work after all; I don't know)

However, since there are public trackers that has torrents with thousands of seeds+leechers and showing no signs of being shut down whatsoever, I agree the hype is a bit big. :)

Wouldn't you rather have the sites shut dwn and users not sued? Maybe that's just me. If you going to pirate crap, and lets face it, that's what Suprnova was/is about (directly or indirectly) I would rather see them get shut down then sue who's downloading. The whole idea of this eXeem thing is over hyped crap that'sjust going to make the MPAA and RIAA go after users. If they do it with Kazaa, why not this? It's 100 times simpler to get an IP from this then it is from Kazaa, et al. All you have to do is make 2 clicks and you have a whole list of IP's for people downloading "file x".

2. How can eXeem? be free?

eXeem? is supported only by ad revenue. This allows the developers to continue making upgrades to the network and enhancing the eXeem client for you.

3. Do I have to pay for eXeem??

No, eXeem? is completely free and it can only stay free with ads. This is why, trying to remove the ads will only hurt the future development of the program.

This should prove more than anything what I have been saying. Liquid, shut down your lite version or you will ruin it for everyone.

The ops and moderators in the eXeem irc channel have been told to ban anyone who links to or mentions eXeem lite. They do NOT condone your actions to make a lite version.

By the way if you didn't already know, eXeem IS in all rights their property. Editing and distributing a closed source program is illegal, whether you have to pay for it or not. You are messing with other peoples intellectual property, and it is illegal to distribute.

For the same reasons you cannot change a taskbar on someone's theme and distribute it, you cannot distribute the lite version of eXeem. It does not have to be filed with any copyright group to be someone elses property.

You may not think anything of it now, but remember your lite version runs on their servers. If they don't get the money they need to keep those servers up, both clients will die.

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
