Advanced Security Morro's PC Security Config

Efficient but with more FP compared to ControlD hagezi tif.

Well, so far I have not seen any FP from DNS4EU.

Yes, I saw it, but as mentioned, I have not seen an FP with DNS4EU so far. However, not responding to an FP report is not good. So right now I am thinking ... do I stay with DNS4EU or go back to either NextDNS or Quad9? I will have to think about that.

Both are very good; however, I had very few FP blocks with Quad 9, which I did not get with NextDNS and ControlD; both are my favorite choice.

 

[Morro]

Well, I switched back to NextDNS using HaGeZi - Multi PRO++.

 

[Morro]

Well, not a security update, but a hardware update. My old monitor broke a few days ago, and I was using an old monitor till today. I got my new monitor in today, a MSI MAG 27CQ6F - WQHD Curved Gaming Monitor – 180Hz – 27 Inch. And damn does it look great, but there is one thing I do not understand.

On my old monitor, HDR mode had much more vibrant colours, but on my new monitor, switching HDR off gives much more vibrant colours than with HDR on? (In my opinion that is.) On the new monitor switching HDR on makes all the colours bland/flat, if that makes any sense to you all.

On smart TV's colors are adjusted to make them more vibrant. Many smart TV's have a gaming option to increase response time and disable this color adjustement. Maybe disabling HDR on a gaming monitor does the opposite and enables the color tweaking to make them vibrant.

I have a old dumb Sony Sony Bravia 200 Mhz 1K TV and am looking for a 4K replacement. Currently I am looking at a Samsung Odessey Neo G7 43 inch gaming monitor (is HDR600 certified), because I find the adjusted colors of most smart TVs horrible and like the more natural colors of a gaming monitor with HDR (and yes they look less vibrant but to me vibrant looks fake).

Still undecided to look for a smart TV with gaming option to look colors more natural or (more inclined to) buying a gaming PC and use it as TV which shows the colors real (in stead of the enriched fake colors we are used on our smart phones and smart TV's). When you print photo's from your smart phone on large format (eg. A3) they look horrible compared with camera photo's.

Maybe I am an old fashioned purist, but I would turn on HDR on your monitor and enjoy realistic natural colors.

I tried HDR in the game I currently play, and even after calibrating HDR in-game and setting more contrast, it still did not look as appealing as with no HDR. Maybe you are right and I am so used to the colour scheme from my smartphone. Oh well, there are worse things then that.

I know on my older monitor (with pretty much worthless HDR) the SDR image has slightly oversaturated colors, which kind of pop in games. When I use my OLED TV for gaming it definitely looks more accurate (and the HDR looks great), but I always enjoy going back to that slightly poppy-er look on my monitor.

Well, out of those 3, NextDNS allows exceptions and custom rules, so.

Switched from Osprey: Browser Protection to APIVoid Browser Protection.

 

[Morro]

Switched from Vivaldi's own password system to Proton Pass.

 

[Morro]

And I am back with Vivaldi's own password manager. It works, but the problem I mentioned elsewhere on MT happened too often. And that began to annoy me.

 

[Morro]

Made only a few small updates, mainly added the OS version, and updated the extensions in Vivaldi.

 

[Sampei.Nihira]

You should change the year.
You have all of @LinuxFan58 extensions,you're his best customer.

Change the year... oh wait, that is what you mean, thanks.


EDIT: Done. How I forgot to do that for 9 months is beyond me right now.

Updated Windows version to 26H2.
