ERROR – Adobe Photoshop stuck on the home screen – welcome screen is frozen and you can’t see new documents you create or images you drop onto photoshop – scrollbars appear but you can’t see anything

If your photoshop welcome screen is stuck and you can’t see new files or images opened:

Disable your graphics card link to photoshop – it is no longer supported:

Settings -> performance – checkbox disable “use graphics processor”
Camera-raw -> Performance -> Use Graphics Processor “OFF”

Then update your graphics card drivers as they are released, and after every upgrade, try to switch these settings on again – if it doesn’t work, switch them off.

I have taken out my 3DS SD Card and copied some files to my PC a few times (also using my Android phone a few times, which may have caused an issue)

The boot section (FAT formatting) for the SD card was broken, so it wouldn’t mount and the 3DS couldn’t read it (windows disc utility showed it as RAW, meaning no file system, just a bunch of raw data that no device can read)

TestDisk Download – CGSecurity – [ backup mirror hosted on this website file backed up 2023 ]

You can re-write the boot mount (you can “recover” or “backup” lost files, but all the programs are expensive – do not format the card if windows says “can’t read drive, would you like to format”

3DS message: sd card can’t be accessed

Unzip the app – click the EXE testdisk_win.exe – then start a log file, select your 30GB or whatever size of SD card from the list – do a quick scan, then do a deep scan, then scan the boot record entry. The type is Windows/Intel/PC for type, then scan and “write” the boot entry – if the scans are successful you can also “view” all the files in the SD card – it should show some folders ” DCIM Nintendo 3DS ”

Then quit X 4 – and your PC should refresh and mount the drive as normal (made a backup of the entire SD card just in case…

Errors –

CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives. (If the drive can’t boot – it is RAW, meaning that there are no files, just a bunch of ones and zeros that the computer doesn’t know what to do with , raw data, but when you fix the file system from RAW to FAT-format with repaired boot sector, it’ll all work as normal.

Raw drives can be made to work again using the app above – don’t format !

2023 – I just used this method to recover a spare laptop HDD I had inside my desktop PC – it stopped appearing / loading / being accessible – and I thought that maybe I’d be able to read the contents while booting up linux – but it was a raw drive / not bootable loadable info available, so I ran this app with Intel settings / quick scan / write – and it became open-able again <3

 

CouchDB is a great way to have a self-managing version controlled database – which keeps things in sync and in the right state – perfect for multiple users, multiple hardware sources all updating the same records of the database at the same time – IE an online service, registration list or other app.

Smileupps provides a free or paid hosting service for CouchDB, as well as other IT Business Solutions

I am currently using CouchDB as an engine and merging it with a web-based front end I made for a door-list ticketing app, with easy to see searchbox, guest list and here/not-here check boxes – instant name filtering and search clearing.

A great example app you can use to start testing is here on GitHub:

PHPlist is a great free PHP based mailing list installation you can add to your server, like WordPress – also running with MySQL. This has been added to version v3.2.7.

Note that if you upgrade your installation, you will need to add this again – and completely new versions of PHPLIST may change how they work, though it shouldn’t be so drastic as to render this all unusable. 

Admin login

Open /list/admin/login.php

at the bottom of the file, add this code before the submit button:

 echo ' <tr><td><script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script><div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="###YOUR-SITE-KEY###" data-size="compact"></div><br /><input class="submit" type="submit" name="process" value="' . $GLOBALS['I18N']->get('Continue') . '" /></td></tr>';

Note this ‘name=process, get->Continue input appears in 2 places

Then open /list/admin/index.php and search for this code, adding what’s in green, replace the red text with your own ID, Classes and Google ID codes.

 if ((!isset($_SESSION['adminloggedin']) || !$_SESSION['adminloggedin']) && isset($_REQUEST['login']) && isset($_REQUEST['password']) && !empty($_REQUEST['password'])) {

 /*RECAP*/
$captcha = "";
if (isset($_POST["g-recaptcha-response"])){
 $captcha = $_POST["g-recaptcha-response"];
}
if (!$captcha){
 echo '<p style="color:#fff;padding: 25px; background-color: #2f2f2f;">Please complete the captcha to prove you\'re not an internet virus robot <a href="'. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .'" id="pushkacombutton" >Go Back</a></p>';
 exit;
 return; //this switches off the index file - so it shows a blank page. I'll try change it to just break out of this if clause
}
// handling the captcha and checking if it's ok
$secret = "###YOUR-SITE-SECRET-KEY###";
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$secret."&response=".$captcha."&remoteip=".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]), true);
// if the captcha is cleared with google, continue PHPLIST auth as usual, else - stop index.php
if (intval($response["success"]) !== 1) {
 echo '<p style="color:#fff;padding: 25px; background-color: #2f2f2f;">Captcha error - please complete the captcha to prove you\'re not an internet virus robot <a href="'. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .'" id="pushkacombutton" >Go Back</a></p>';
 exit;
} 

And there you have it. Register for recaptcha for free by googling it, add your site domain(s) to make them work.

Subscribe/ unsubscribe pages

This may be a little bit more tricky – since there are more than one ways to do this – so you don’t want to block real people, but you don’t want to leave a loophole for spammers.

These are the ways to subscribe/ unsubscribe to lists:

• Through your installation index.php file /list/ – there is a form that submits using POST
• Through an email link GET request, UID and unsubscribe variables
• Through an optional 3rd party form (you can have a subscribe form sent through ajax on your website which subscribes people without them ever seeing your PHPLIST installation – if you do this – it will be the same process as the 1st form, so you can send the recaptcha value along with the ajax request

The strategy I’m using for now is to check if POST>>email value is being sent, if so, there should also be a recaptcha POST entry. For email unsubscribe links, they will use GET – and they obviously can’t use recaptcha, unless you create an intermediary page. 

/list/index.php

$userid = '';
$userpassword = '';
$emailcheck = '';


/*recap*/
if(isset($_POST['email'])){ //recap check for sub/unsub via post
 $captcha = "";
 if (isset($_POST["g-recaptcha-response"])){
 $captcha = $_POST["g-recaptcha-response"];
 }
 if (!$captcha){
 echo '<p style="padding: 25px;" >Please complete the captcha to prove you\'re not an internet virus robot <button onclick="goBack()" id="pushkacombutton" >Go Back</button> <script> function goBack() { window.history.back();} </script></p>';
 exit;
 return; //this switches off the index file - so it shows a blank page. I'll try change it to just break out of this if clause
 }
 // handling the captcha and checking if it's ok
 $secret = "###YOUR-SITE-SECRET-KEY###";
 $response = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=".$secret."&response=".$captcha."&remoteip=".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]), true);
 // if the captcha is cleared with google, continue PHPLIST auth as usual, else - stop index.php
 if (intval($response["success"]) !== 1) {
 echo '<p style="padding: 25px;" >Captcha error - please complete the captcha to prove you\'re not an internet virus robot <button onclick="goBack()" id="pushkacombutton" >Go Back</button> <script> function goBack() { window.history.back();} </script></p>';
 exit;
 return; //this switches off the index file - so it shows a blank page. I'll try change it to just break out of this if clause
 } 
}

in the same index file – you can add a recaptcha field for the login form

 $html .= '</table>';
 $html .= '<p><script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script><div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="###YOUR-SITE-KEY###" ></div><br /><input type=submit name="login" value="' . $GLOBALS['strLogin'] . '"></p>';

Then to add recatcha to the subscribe form:

 if (USE_SPAM_BLOCK) {
 $html .= '<div style="display:none"><input type="text" name="VerificationCodeX" value="" size="20"></div>';
 }
 $html .= '<p><script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script><div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="###YOUR-SITE-KEY###" ></div><br /><input type=submit name="subscribe" value="' . $GLOBALS['pagedata']['button'] . '" onClick="return checkform();"></p></form>';

And finally the unsubscribe form:

 if (!$email) {
 $res .= '<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script><div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="###YOUR-SITE-KEY###" ></div><br /><input type="submit" name="unsubscribe" value="' . $GLOBALS['strContinue'] . '"></form>';

There is another unsubscribe submit button:

        $res .= '<p><script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script><div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="###YOUR-SITE-KEY###" ></div><br /><input type=submit name="unsubscribe" value="' . $GLOBALS['strUnsubscribe'] . '"></p>';
