Is there any way to set the sample rate for my microphone lower than 44.1 kHz? In the windows control panel I can only set it to 44.1, can I somehow re-encode it and then use a virtual sound device?
But y tho?
It's something I want to try but it needs to be a live audio source so it can be used on voip. I might have found something but I need to read through the documentation to see how it works.
What a steal

Yesterday i've bought a Razer Blackwidow Elite keyboard for just 120€, original price was 150€
I seem to have gotten Windows Defender really fucking confused.
So a scan actually flagged something on my laptop as a hazard - one of the bundled programs, a little utility that I think makes the Fn+Arrow keys work as media buttons. It's been on this computer for like seven years now, MalwareBytes doesn't detect it as anything, so it's probably a false positive (which is why I'm just quarantining it instead of nuking the whole partition and reinstalling). But it's gotten Windows Defender completely confused.
When I got the notice, I immediately did two things: hit the "quarantine" button, and kicked off a full-disk scan to see if it missed anything else. I don't know if it's the 300+ tabs I had open at that exact moment, but it lagged out while doing that... and now Defender thinks there's two copies, one that's been quarantined, and one that hasn't. It can't actually do anything to the second one, because that file no longer exists (moved to quarantine), but it thinks there was a malware detection that it hasn't dealt with, so it keeps alerting me. I hit an action, it tries to do it, silently fails, then falls into "we've dealt with all threats and should re-scan"... re-running the scan brings it back up.
Tried rebooting - it persists. Tried whitelisting the file, then unwhitelisting it - it persists (it doesn't actually seem to un-quarantine it?). Tried every variant of scans (even the offline one), to try to flush it from the system - no dice. Tried clearing threat history - that purged the one it thought was quarantined, but not the active one. Tried just deleting the ".original" file it had left behind, no change. Tried taking that suffix off, it still can't actually remove it.
Right now, every time I run a scan, a notification pops up saying "no threats found"... but the icon stays red, with a "current threat" listed. I tell it to deal with the threat, it says it now needs to run another scan to see if anything was left behind... it's a real GOTO 10 situation going on.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that there's seven year's worth of carefully configured programs, I'd probably have thrown this thing out already. The battery life is measured in seconds, it's a bulky ugly "gaming" laptop that can't run recent games (2FPS in Doom 2016 main menu!), plus there was that whole ordeal when I first got it (long-time denizens of these threads might remember me threatening to destroy Taiwan over the incident)... it's pretty close to useless except that it's got a full-size keyboard but doesn't make me sit at a desk. And, it's got fucking every programming system I've used in my entire professional career set up, that's kind of useful at least in theory.
What if you create a new file with the exact same name (and extension) as the original file? Could you trick Defender into quarantining that file instead?

The October update landed on my laptop yesterday when I hit the "check for updates" button. Now I've FINALLY got the dark themed explorer. I've been waiting for that for ages.
As a .NET developer I would take nginx any day.
nginx can do no wrong.
asp.net core works with nginx at least, reverse proxies
This is gonna be a long shot but I've been tasked with finding software that connects to 3rd party IMAP mail boxes and wipes them between specific dates. Doesn't matter the cost, as the budget is big and the company needs something quick due of GDPR compliance. I've attempted to write a batch script to basically log into a mailbox and send requests via curl to just wipe the stuff, but it always fails with unknown reason at setting the /Deleted flag on multiple emails.
We already figured out how to archive the stuff to cold storage backups, but we still have to figure out how to wipe old mails.
Do you have access to the IMAP database specifically or are you trying to manually delete emails via like, some email client?
I'm not sure of any off the shelf software to do it but I'm curious what exactly you're trying to do as I may be able to help.
The latter. I need to batch wipe emails inboxes before a specific account on over 100 accounts on a 3rd party server after archiving them. For archiving the emails directly into PST I found Zinkuba, as it's easy to operate for whoever it gets handed to. Already got someone to modify it so that you can feed it a CSV file and automatically populate the fields.
Basically the situation is that the company we do additional offsourcing support for, got internally audited by the parent company. After the audit, the management ordered us to archive all email addresses for each employee in PST files and then to wipe all emails before a specific date for all employees. They don't own the mail server and the 3rd party company refused the request for dumping all data from the mail server.
After not finding anything, I tried to basically write a bash script, that would query the IMAP server with a SEARCH SINCE * BEFORE * request, grab the mail IDs it listed, process the IDs to a readable format, throw the IDs into a query that would set the emails for deletion with the "STORE xx +FLAGS \Deleted" query and then just send EXPUNGE query to delete all flagged email IDs. Problem is that I have to manually define the folders it searches in, and I have to get it to wipe emails even in user made folders.
It's a clusterfuck really. I was only informed today that it needs to wipe emails too.
If you can access the IMAP server then you could use the imap library provided by Chilkat. It's a $300 license for one developer.
You'd connect and login to the imap server then you'd do a search for before and then since, then setflags for delete and then actually tell the imap server to expunge.
It'd be pretty easy to do in c++ or really any language of your choice. I'd offer to write said program but I don't own a license for the library and it's probably unlikely your company would contract out to some internet random.
Yeah I don't think I'll have any external developers approved. Like, they weren't even happy that I tried to write something myself after I couldn't find anything.
I guess I should brace myself for an awkward meeting.
What they want isn't something that you'll just be able to buy a copy off the shelf anyway. This is something that the people who are actually managing the IMAP database and stuff should know anyway...
Turns out Microsoft reissued the Intellimouse Explorer 3 in China, not to be confused with the shitty Bluetrack one they released stateside:
https://youtu.be/aZ2N-JCFVAA
And I immediately want to buy this.
It’s the Intellimouse Pro. Not the Classic.
Buy two of em, keep one in storage and you’ll be set for the next 15 years of computing.
No red glow on the bottom. 0/10.
Really, though, given that it's for the PRC market I have concerns about stuff like build and materials quality. It's a market where standards are low and consumer protection is next to non-existent and we know what companies like MS are like.
It's RGB
There's also the Logitech G MX518.
That's coming back too.

Had a long ass meeting at work today (around 6 hours) and my suggestion to write documentation for all the processes we do was greenlit, as well my suggestion to hire a new person was taken into consideration. I can't believe we went this long without zero god damn documentation other than random word documents in nextcloud.
Now I won't have to feel bad when I leave the company because the new person will have material to work with and learn quickly.
Damn, six hour meeting? Surely most of that wasn't useful discussion? Meetings tend to last hours on end in my company when there isn't a clear agenda.
It was a meeting with a ton of excel spreadsheets on the projector and discussion of profits, changes, possible relocation areas and office spaces and general crap like that for the most part. Last 2 hours were just full on brainstorming. Each employee got a turn basically and the ideas that got greenlit or put under consideration are gonna be discussed at the next meeting on monday with each person suggesting it having some proof of concept to show or just generally having some materials to show how the company can make profit from it, or how it would benefit the employees.
Jokes on them, I have Amazon interview scheduled for next week and will be possibly moving out of the country soon.
Good luck with the interview.
GTX 1660 Ti came out, looking to upgrade my 950. Should I wait for bit to see if any issues crop up with it? How future-proof do y'all think it would be?

Software development subforum seems like a wasteland rn so I figured i'd drop this here.
