well i got it and there are a few things i should say about it. wrote the same in the feedback but i guess would be a good thing to point the problems out here too...

u have to do something about the font, this one's really ugly, or maybe it's just how my pc displays it, but the words are hardly readable, maybe you should provide an option to change the font, i prefer kroeger 05_53 for example, i think it would look much better..

the other thing is that i can't change the positions of the items, cos i'd like the clock to go on top but i can't put it there... the msn addin would be a good thing, also you should make a way to add/remove items or panels form the bar... and there's something wrong with the slideshow, it stretches the images very much and they have a very low quality.

but at least exp goes well on resources

Come on people. If you were to lazzy to sign up for the beta that is your problem. The beta sign up was posted for a month. I am sure the beta signup is now closed as he has his core group of testers. The main release will most likely be free but who knows. I am testing and have found a few problems with it. For me I just can't use it at all in my main Windows XP environment. It seems to have a problem staying docked to the side of my screen. It just keeps bouncing off the side. It does work in an XP install under Virtual PC just fine.

The font issue mentioned above I don't have. I can see everything just fiine. The slide show for me is slighty streched verticaly but acceptable in a beta/alpha build. Remember this is a beta/alpha and probably very far from an open circulartion release.

My biggest grip Is the clock. Yes I would like to be able to move it to the top as well. And joejoe really needs to rework the code for the clock. I guess he was using a flash version before and in the earlier screenshots it looked quite good, but what we have in the beta is barely usable. The hands are the same size, they are not positioned right, and they are all differnt colors. The hour hand is white, the minute hand is dark gray, and the second is babyblue, He rreally needs to fix this.

I will keep using it under my VPC XP install but I will not try and run it in my main XP environment again till another beta becomes available.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
