I'd like to know y’alls view on the "theft protection". This was introduced long ago with the new releases of Lolipop from OEMs.

The reason I'd like to bring it up is that recently I found a HTC Desire 626s on the streets. (Mind you, it was already deactivated from the start, with the device remote wiped). It had the "theft protection" on like this:

Apart from stealing this picture, lol.

 

You could practically do nothing, it was a lightweight paper holder. The reason why is that I have seemed to found a loophole/bypass unintentionally. For something, to be considered as simple as I did it, how secure do you think this system is (at least pertaining to the OEM) while others can simply bypass with simple On-The-Go Card Reader Methods? Would you have other software (if any) than the native's to help prevent this?

Quote:I did this by using the HTC software update's ability to make the device turn on Developer Mode. From there I was able to ADB into the device, and force the screen to go into any of the System Menus. After killing all of the Setup programs, I was able to wipe the device within the menu therefore removing the software lock it had before hand. All in 3 mins, and possibly could be animated/scripted. A lot harder than those OTG methods.

Hello,

Have you ever tested to make 'for example' an blog system written in ".HTML" files?
This tutorial will let some of your website visitors to be amazed that's you have login,register,logout,etc... system written in .html
CAUTION: I know! a lot of people will understand this thread incorrectly... please be careful this thread let you know how to make .html files execute PHP

---

So let's start! it's super simple.

• Edit ".htaccess"; or ... create a new file named ".htaccess" (if it doesn't exists)
  
• Add this line at the first line of ".htaccess"
  

---

That's all for the steps

will this disallow .php? No! it will allow PHP to be executed with ".php" ".html" ".htm"
BUT! in some Nginx servers it will disallow ".php"

So edit the above line with this:

while the different is "we've added .php & .php5 & .php3 at the end of the line!"

Thank you & best regards,

Hello,

I see that after moving Post4VPS to new webhost and they forget to accept .html files as PHP files.
So the menu of "VPS plans" button is redirecting to "404 Not Found" page.

Please whatever fix it:
* by accepting "html" files again by editing the ".htaccess"
* edit the link to "https://post4vps.com/announcements.php?aid=1"

---

Also in all the giveaway threads it redirect to wrong links of the "requirements" texts.
While it redirects to "https://post4vps.com/announcement.php?aid=1" and it must be "announcements.php"

---

These are just reports for Post4VPS.

Thank you, Regards,

Hello,

one day I've used "web.skype.com" which is an SSL website and it has worked correctly.
but, not forever.. because since I have pressed the 'refresh' button wrongly in Mozilla Firefox and now I get this problem:

Quote:Secure Connection Failed

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I have never tested the report function of Firefox, and I knew that no benefit of getting it working with the report function..
as, most of the reports are checked in like 3 months...

But I've gave the report function an try and I got an solution in my Mozilla Firefox support account.
The answer container was:

Quote:This problem happened for your operating system, as Mozilla Firefox launcher was loading the SSL website and you've suddenly refreshed the page; so our launcher has made multiple SSL "send" queries. (as an bug)

Your solution is posted by one of our moderators here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questi...wer-720995

why have I bolded "moderators"?: just to know it's trusted solution.

---

solution is

1. In the URL field of Mozilla Firefox (address bar) type "about:config" and press enter.
   
2. Search for " security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts "
   
3. CAUTION: It's not " security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts.use_static_list "
   
4. Right click on the value field of "security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts" and click "Modify"
   

value examples:

• If you're going to add 1 website only then:
  

(without https:// or http://)

• If you're going to add more than 1 website then:
  

Explaining of "adding more than 1 website" :

RTLS means "read-tls" while "read-tls" means the permissions of this value will be able to read the website's SSL certificate fully.

Why not doing "example.com, example.com" ?
I've tested that and not working! you've to set atleast 1 permission value for every website to get it working.

I hope this tutorial was simple and helpful for a lot of people!

What there are myBB forum plugins which you can recommend and every myBB forum should have ?

Although I think most of you will already know DigitalOcean, I still like to introduce them in this thread.

Basic Company Info
At June 24, 2011 DigitalOcean was founded by Ben Uretsky, Moisey Uretsky and Jeff Carr.
DigitalOcean's headquarters is located in New York, USA.
DigitalOcean is a simple and fast cloud hosting service built for developers. They claim their customers are able to create a cloud server in (less than) 55 seconds. However sometimes it took me more than 15 minutes to get my "Droplet", as they name it, up and running. Fortunately most of the time I was able to deploy my serves in less than a minute!
Straightforward Pricing
DigitalOcean's pricing is pretty straightforward. You only pay for the resources you rent. You pay per hour, so if you just want to test something and use a server for only one hour, you only pay one-time the hourly rate of the plan you chose.
Locations
DigitalOcean offers cloud servers in serveral locations. At first they only had their New York location. They later on expanded to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, San Francisco and Singapore and they now also have a Toronto (Canada), London (United Kingdom) and a Frankfurt (Germany) location.

All of those packages include:

- Private Networking

To see an actual view of their pricing go to https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/

Free credits!
Would you like to pay $5 PayPal or just add a credit card and then get $15-$20 to try out their cloud servers?
Then follow these steps:
1. Register using my referral link, since I referred you, you'll get $10
My referral link: https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=5ef0734ea027
Of course, you support me, I get $25 if you spend $25, however have given you $10 then, so it seems fair to me?
2. Use a coupon to get additional credit.
You could use for example this site: www.retailmenot.com/view/digitalocean.com to try out some coupons. Try the ones with the highest value first, to get the most free credit. Unfortunately you only have 12 months to spend all those free credits. Another thing I have to mention: you can only enter a coupon within 30 days after deploying your first droplet.

Thanks for reading!

Regards,

Rick
