These are the Samurize configs I've been using lately. You may have seen them in my July and August desktop thread posts. I've been getting several requests to share them, so here they are.

There are three Samurize packages. If you have trouble installing them, you can rename them to *.zip and unzip them.

Black Dashboard

Deskband

Now Playin'

:cool:

Here are the two configs in action:

:yes:

*UPDATE...

Nforce.nl changed their site a bit, and so the scripts need to be updated for the NFO News portion of the config to display properly. I've attached a zip file with the updates. Put them into your Samurize\Scripts folder.

Thanks for the comments.

To can change the options for the CD covers, follow these steps:

- open the config editor

- select the album cover meter ("meter 24")

- under Source, click on Global Settings, and the AMPI Plugin Configuration dialog box should pop up

The AMPI plugin has a few methods of finding album covers. Firstly, it can be set to search online to download the covers as you play songs. Second, using the version of the plugin I have, you can use embedded cover art (in the tags). Thirdly, you can have it look for a cover in the same directory as the song you are playing. Choose your method, and set the options accordingly.

I have AMPI set up to NOT download covers from the internet, because I have my music stored in one location, with different folders for each artist and album (iTunes takes care of this). I have a cover file in each folder called folder.jpg or folder.png, and AMPI finds these and uses them for the display.

      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.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

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

      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.
