email - Why does Google call Thunderbird "less secure"?

I've never had problems using Gmail with Thunderbird yet, but while trying to use a free software client for Google Talk/Chat/Hangout I've discovered that, according to Google's document on "less secure apps" : Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include [...] Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. Google then offers an all-or-nothing secure vs. non secure account switch ("Allow less secure apps"). Why does Google say Thunderbird "does not support the latest security standards"? Is Google trying to say that standard protocols like IMAP, SMTP and POP3 are "less secure" ways to access a mailbox? Are they trying to say that the use users make of that software puts their accounts at risk? Or what? Secunia's Vulnerability Report: Mozilla Thunderbird 24.x (where is 31?) says «Unpatched 11% (1 of 9 Secunia advisories) [...] The most severe unpatched Secunia advisory af...

How do I change the Respond To for Group Email adresses in Notes 6.5

When I send an email from a group mail box the email shows my email address as the sender on behalf of the group email address. I would like to hide my email and only show my name as the sender and have the respond to as the group email address rather than my email address. I am using Notes 6.5. Could you please advise if there is a way to set up my client to do this.

ffmpeg merge multiple audio files into single audio file with android

I am using the below command to merge multiple audio files : String s="-i "+mFileTemp.getPath()+" -i "+mFileTemp2.getPath()+" -i "+mFileTemp3.getPath()+" -filter_complex [0:0][1:0][2:0]concat=n=3:v=0:a=1[out] -map [out] "+originalFile.getPath(); Where mFileTemp, mFileTemp2, mFileTemp3 are the path to input audio file where originalFile is the output audio file path. Here I am attaching how its passing after splitting: ffmpeg passing argument after splitting Getting the following error : ffmpeg version n3.0.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.8 (GCC) configuration: --target-os=linux --cross- prefix=/home/vagrant/SourceCode/ffmpeg-android/toolchain- android/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- --arch=arm --cpu=cortex-a8 -- enable-runtime-cpudetect --sysroot=/home/vagrant/SourceCode/ffmpeg- android/toolchain-android/sysroot --enable-pic --enable-libx264 -- enable-libass --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable- libmp3lame...

readline - Why you don't read lines with "for" in bash?

I've read that using "for" is not a good way to read lines in bash. Many people says this is clumsy and inefficient at best, and fails in many cases. I'd like to know what is the best way to read lines in bash. Thanks. For example: $ for i in $( Answer You are talking about for line in $(cat file); do and similar constructs. This is: Inefficient because bash has to spawn a subshell and execute cat , read cat 's output – the entire file – into memory, parse it (which is the slowest part ), only then iterate over all data Unreliable because bash performs word-splitting on the data – not only does it split on newline characters, but also on anything in $IFS (spaces, tabs...) (If you use $( instead of $(cat ...) , you save two milliseconds on Linux, but all other downsides remain.) A much better option is to use read in a while loop: while read -r line; do echo "Input: $line" done Or from a program: cat file1 file2 file3 | while read -r line; do ...

performance - Windows 10 - windows open slow, GUI draw slows down with heavy multitasking - but why?

Reproduction: The title is a bit mysterious, so to see what my issue looks like, run "Furmark", or "BOINC" (gpu accelerated) and then start opening Windows. Everything becomes slower, windows parts get drawn slowly, and so on. Opening a new Explorer takes a lot longer. You almost see the window get drawn slowly. The question is: What can cause slow window/elements draw speed, and how can one track and solve this issue? When does it happen: When I heavily multitask. When I boot the PC, it's snappy. Even if I put load on it, it does not slow. Only if I start to work on a project with 3-4 kind of loads open. RAM usage is normal, around ~15GB used out of 24GB. CPU is mostly idle / ramping up and down; i7 4770HQ with HT enabled. Temperatures are fine, no throttling. GPU1 and GPU2 are both idle, both receive very low load. The integrated GPU has 128MB dedicated VRAM, 2GB shared, but it's ~10% filled. Hardware : Storage : 2x240GB SSD; 1x1TB 7200rpm 2,5 in bay...

windows 10 - Monitors with different physical sizes

I have two monitors on my windows 10 machine: Monitor 1 (Main): 1680x1050 Samsung T220 (22") Monitor 2: 1920x1080 Dell E2211H The physical height of these two monitors is several inches different (the Samsung is taller). I am attempting to set up the monitor positioning in Windows, so that the top of the Dell is in line with the position on the Samsung to comes up to. Unfortunately, the display settings screen sees the Dell as physically taller than the Samsung. Is there a way to tell Windows 10 that the secondary monitor is wider, but not as tall?

photos - Automating the scanning of graphics files for corruption

Does anyone know of a way to check graphics files (particularly JPEG, GIF, and PNG) for corruption (preferably in an automated way)? Explanation: A few days ago, a command worked incorrectly and ended up deleting thousands of graphics files from a FAT32 volume that was practically out of space. I’ve used several different file/photo-recovery programs, but naturally, they are limited in how much they can recover (though fortunately the volume has 8KB clusters, which helps somewhat). Anyway, some of the larger files, that were fragmented, are now corrupt. Some of them are not even real files at all (the recovery software merely dumped the clusters that were pointed to by now-overwritten directory entries), while others are broken because of fragmentation. Moreover, because some picture formats embed a smaller version of the picture as a thumbnail, scanning the thumbnails for corruption is not reliable because it may be intact while the actual file (i.e., the picture when viewed full-size...
