  Runonce
Posted by: Excalibur - 31-10-2023, 07:25 AM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (2)

WinPatrol keeps capturing Runonce alerts, this one from Edge (and another from Onedrive)
What should I make of it?
I guess that if I didn't have WinPatrol istalled, programs like Edge would do stuff in behind the scenes and I'd be none the wiser?
What's known about Edge/Onedrive runonce?

Thanks

  CTers claim Gaza/Israel war 'not real'
Posted by: Lilith7 - 29-10-2023, 04:06 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (12)

You have to wonder at the idiocies some can get themselves to believe.


https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-...bfb269258e


"In the days since Hamas militants stormed into Israel early Oct. 7, a flood of videos and photos purporting to show the conflict have filled social media, making it difficult for onlookers from around the world to sort fact from fiction.
While plenty of real imagery and accounts of the ensuing carnage have emerged, they have been intermingled with users pushing false claims and misrepresenting videos from other events.
Among the fabrications, users have shared false claims that a top Israeli commander had been kidnapped, circulated a false video imitating a BBC News report, and pushed old and unrelated clips of Russian President Vladimir Putin with inaccurate English captions.

Here is a closer look at the misinformation spreading online ÔÇö and the facts.
CLAIM: A major mosque in Iran raised a black flag to call Muslims to war over IsraelÔÇÖs attacks on Gaza.

THE FACTS: The Imam Reza shrine said the flag was raised as a symbol of mourning for the lives lost in IsraelÔÇÖs strikes on Gaza. Experts on Islam and Iran confirmed the flag includes a passage from the Quran that is meant to comfort Muslims that their sacrifices will one day be rewarded.
Social media users are sharing the false claim alongside images and videos of the distinctive gold dome of┬áthe shrine┬áÔÇö a major pilgrimage site for Shiite Muslims in IranÔÇÖs northeast that includes a mosque, library and other institutions ÔÇö with a black banner flying on a flagpole.

ÔÇ£BREAKING: The Black Flag has been raised over Razavi Shrine in Mashhad, Khorasan province, Iran,ÔÇØ wrote one Facebook user who shared the image on Oct. 18, using an alternate name for the complex. ÔÇ£This is a call for war or vengeance.ÔÇØ







https://www.npr.org/2023/10/10/120475512...l-and-gaza



"One viral video claims to show a Hamas fighter shooting down an Israeli helicopter ÔÇö but it's a┬áclip from the video game Arma 3. A video purporting to show an Israeli woman being attacked in Gaza was┬áfilmed in 2015 in Guatemala. An┬áunverified voice message[b]┬á[/b]circulating on WhatsApp, along with the note "forwarded many times," says a military official has instructed Israelis to stock up on cash, fuel and groceries. Fake accounts posing as a┬áBBC journalist[b]┬á[/b]and the┬á[i]Jerusalem Post[/i]┬ánewspaper[b]┬á[/b]spread false information widely before being suspended by X (formerly known as Twitter).
In the wake of Hamas' surprise attack on Israel and the escalation into war over the weekend, social media platforms and messaging apps are awash in viral rumors, misleading images and videos, and outright falsehoods, making it hard for people in Israel, Gaza and around the world seeking information and facts about the conflict.
Many online videos are being taken out of context or┬ámischaracterized┬áÔÇö a frequent occurrence in breaking news situations where interest is high but verified information is hard to come by."

  Safely Remove Hardware query
Posted by: Neil F - 29-10-2023, 11:44 AM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (1)

Often when I have finished with using a USB I click on the icon "Safely Remove hardware".
The USB  was being used only. within Windows Explorer to copy or update file(s). I exit Windows Explorer for both my main drive and the USB drive but I still get "Device is still in use" messages.
Since I am not on the Internet nor any (known to me) other program besides Windows Explorer I am puzzled as to why I get this "device still in use" message.

Comments please
Thanks

  Olivine; can we save the planet?

Kiwi scientists have devised a way to sequester massive amounts of carbon dioxide.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/clim...on-nz-rock

"New Zealand academics have figured out a way to sequester massive amounts of carbon dioxide using a common rock.

Sequestering is a method of capturing a material, in this case the climate change gas carbon dioxide, with another material from which it cannot escape.

So far, theyÔÇÖve sequestered only a few grams of CO2 in a proof of concept exercise, but it looks theoretically possible to sequester an entire year of manmade CO2 emissions (about 40 billion tonnes in 2020) using a small percentage of the worldÔÇÖs supply of the rock, which is called ÔÇ£olivineÔÇØ.┬á ThatÔÇÖs a long way off because the scale needed to achieve anything is massive, say the academics leading this research, Allan Scott from the University of Canterbury and Christopher Oze from Occidental College, California."

  Mass murder suspect found dead
Posted by: Lilith7 - 28-10-2023, 02:57 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (4)

The man suspected of killing 18 people & wounding 13 has been found, believed to be as a result of a self inflicted gunshot wound. This probably won't be enough to get America to change iots gun laws though.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/us-canada/...found-dead


"A man suspected of fatally shooting 18 people and wounding 13 in Maine has been found dead, authorities say.

Robert Card, who was wanted in connection with the shootings at Schemengees Bar and Grille and at Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in Lewiston, is believed to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a law enforcement official tells The Associated Press.
Card, 40, of Bowdoin, Maine, was a US Army reservist who underwent a mental health evaluation in mid-July after he began acting erratically during training, a US official told The Associated Press
. Card had been sought since the Wednesday night shootings, and murder warrants were issued against him.
A bulletin sent to police across the country shortly after the attack said Card had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks this past summer after ÔÇ£hearing voices and threats to shoot upÔÇØ a military base."
A US official said Card was training with the Army ReserveÔÇÖs 3rd Battalion, 304th Infantry Regiment in West Point, New York, when commanders became concerned about him."
