Heresiarch posted:this has been going on for years and i'm deeply surprised you haven't already heard about it just never hit me before. all those articles talked about them using event viewer, and my guy used msconfig, so i guess i got slightly different variant one of those articles led to the FTC report page, so I guess i'll do that. i can't imagine how funny some of their calls with dumb customers who can't follow instructions must be

Heresiarch posted:my almost ten year old intellimouse explorer 3 is finally losing its poo poo by doing the double-click thing and i think it's time for me to get a new one because i'm no longer the kind of person who disassembles things to repair them  sometimes the clicker breaks and starts double clicking, you just have to disassemble it and rebend the tiny metal piece and then put it back together I have two of these and they are the best, secret 6th button under the thumb. battery lasts forever. toggling between normal scroll and hyper scroll. it tracks well on. really this batter lasts forever

qntm posted:i wonder whose time is worth more money i was thoroughly entertained the entire time, and unable to use those hours increasing my $$ output at my salaried position, so i did not feel it was a waste of my time i also look at it as "that's ten people they'll never get around to cold calling because they were wasting time on me", and I wanted to see what the scam was the saddest part was that they used that ammyy program, i was hoping they were going to ask for my ip address so i could tell them 192.168.1.1

Basically I want transmission.app to run after my computer reboots and I don't want to have to log in to do so. you will need to use a command line transmission client but a launchdaemon/launchagent is what you are looking for https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/macosx/conceptual/bpsystemstartup/chapters/CreatingLaunchdJobs.html

raruler posted:he's still probably going to have to use the command line transmission because I'm pretty sure it's not going to launch an app without a desktop session for it to live in well yeah, thats what i said in the first post although really a better solution might be to run it on his router. i've never used it but the build of tomato i'm using on my RT-N66U has a transmission daemon built into it and since OS X 10.9/10 use SMB as their default sharing option you can just mount the share as CIFS and your router will do all the work i guess bonus points if you have a NAS or somethinf cause then you dont even need a computer also i know that CIFS and SMB are the same thing but tomato makes the distinction for some reason
