• Spring at Morro Bay

    From Savageduck@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 5 12:27:07 2022
    It has been a while since I last posted a drone video, so here is a great spring day flying the DJI Air 2S around Morro Bay.

    Boycott until you fly at magic hours.

    Spend the night there - then you can shoot in the evening /and/ the morning!

    Lovely. Will be nicer still when those smoke-stacks come down. Or a
    local treasure ?

    Do these videos have stabilisation (etc) done in post, or is the raw
    actually that steady and level ?

    And have you ever got 'lost' ?

    The plan is for demolition by disassembly rather than implosion to reduce the dust issue, and disturbance along the Embarcadero.
    There are some who have a morbid sentimentality, and at least one has a financial interest, "The Three Stacks, and a Rock Brewery”. There is bigger money coming in turning the old power plant into a massive energy storage facility.

    Do these videos have stabilisation (etc) done in post, or is the raw
    actually that steady and level ?

    There is no stabilization in post. The technology in today’s GPS camera drones is amazing, and is just one reason that drones with good tech, including software, and camera hardware are not inexpensive. I am always amazed at how solid the flight can be,
    even in strong, gusty wind.

    And have you ever got 'lost' ?

    Fortunately, no. They provide some navigation/map tools in the software, that and I have always maintained a sense of locational awareness. That said, GPS drones such as my DJI Air 2S will set a home point at take off. In the event there is a low battery,
    or loss of RC controller signal the software will initiate an Auto Return To Home (RTH), and it will return to the home point and land. Also if you are totally lost, and have lost visual contact with the drone you can push/tap t6he RTH button on the
    controller to start a return to home. Best to learn how to navigate, and save the RTH for real emergencies.

    Another excellent presentation.

    So different to the many views we are seeing of the desecration in
    Ukraine. :-(

    This is better than previous videos because it's more 3D (that big Morro
    bay rock for instance + you are getting closer to structures). Also, approaching things from the sea is a good idea.

    I agree. Probably the best drone video he's shown us. :-D

    I've just watched this again. It's a very special place.

    The video at the link above now plays perfectly using Safari! :-D

    Does it play for you?

    THANK YOU :-D

    For Apd - and anyone else who may be curious - in a fresh install of Firefox the link now works perfectly and gives an excellent presentation, filling my screen, clearly and crisply. Odd!
    Does Chrome work now too?

    I just tested in Edge, both worked fine. I used the URLs from your
    original post (offering the second video) and just copy/paste to the
    address bar, that is not by clicking a blue URL. Buffering took some
    time but it played automatically at almost full screen size.

    Why would a modern browser accept unsafe characters in a URL and reject properly encoded ones?

    I wonder why it;s considered unsafe ? as I've not heard that before.

    Why would a modern browser accept unsafe characters in a URL and reject
    properly encoded ones?

    I wonder why it's considered unsafe ? as I've not heard that before.

    Some characters have meaning to the systems that they pass through,
    they cause actions rather than just being interpreted as characters
    passing through. The same sort of thing that makes content transfer
    encoding necessary for NNTP.

    For URI/URL in particular:

    https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt

    " Unsafe:

    Characters can be unsafe for a number of reasons. The space
    character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and
    insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or
    typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs.
    The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the
    delimiters around URLs in free text; the quote mark (""") is used to
    delimit URLs in some systems. The character "#" is unsafe and
    should
    always be encoded because it is used in World Wide Web and in other
    systems to delimit a URL from a fragment/anchor identifier that
    might
    follow it. The character "%" is unsafe because it is used for
    encodings of other characters. Other characters are unsafe because
    gateways and other transport agents are known to sometimes modify
    such characters. These characters are "{", "}", "|", "\", "^", "~",
    "[", "]", and "`".

    All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL. For
    example, the character "#" must be encoded within URLs even in
    systems that do not normally deal with fragment or anchor
    identifiers, so that if the URL is copied into another system that
    does use them, it will not be necessary to change the URL encoding."

    Also, reserved characters:

    Reserved:

    Many URL schemes reserve certain characters for a special meaning:
    their appearance in the scheme-specific part of the URL has a
    designated semantics. If the character corresponding to an octet is
    reserved in a scheme, the octet must be encoded. The characters
    ";",
    "/", "?", ":", "@", "=" and "&" are the characters which may be
    reserved for special meaning within a scheme. No other characters
    may
    be reserved within a scheme.

    Usually a URL has the same interpretation when an octet is
    represented by a character and when it encoded. However, this is not
    true for reserved characters: encoding a character reserved for a
    particular scheme may change the semantics of a URL.

    Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and
    reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used
    unencoded within a URL.

    On the other hand, characters that are not required to be encoded
    (including alphanumerics) may be encoded within the scheme-specific
    part of a URL, as long as they are not being used for a reserved
    purpose.

    Can YOU explain how the videos of Savageduck found their way onto my
    iCloud Drive?

    Unless he sat next to you the entire time, right up until it happened,
    how could he explain it? Notably, you glossed over an actual
    conversation in order to 'do what you do'. Why?

    FTR was replying to WhiskyDave, not to me.

    No, this is not an "attack", it's a logical question based on you 'doing
    what you do' when, in this case, your question is one that can't be
    answered any better than it already has.

    I'm just curious. I'm positive that *I* didn't put the Savageduck videos
    onto my iCloud Drive. Having wiped my computer clean and reinstalled -
    and having opened Savageduck's links once more, they have not appeared
    in my iCloud Drive again.

    FTR has a vast amount of computer knowledge. Although he's not an Apple
    man of long-standing, he may have been able to suggest what may have
    occurred.

    Please don't remove rec.photo.digital - that's where WhiskyDave reads
    and posts. He's a technician in a London University computer laboratory
    and knows much about Apple devices.

    It doesn't explain how the movie found its way onto my iCloud Drive >>>>>> though!

    Can YOU explain how the videos of Savageduck found their way onto my
    iCloud Drive?

    Unless he sat next to you the entire time, right up until it happened,
    how could he explain it? Notably, you glossed over an actual
    conversation in order to 'do what you do'. Why?

    FTR was replying to WhiskyDave, not to me.

    I saw... I also saw you ignore public conversation in lieu of your paranoia... AGAIN.

    No, this is not an "attack", it's a logical question based on you 'doing >>> what you do' when, in this case, your question is one that can't be
    answered any better than it already has.

    I'm just curious. I'm positive that *I* didn't put the Savageduck videos
    onto my iCloud Drive.

    It's been explained how that would take place.

    Having wiped my computer clean and reinstalled -
    and having opened Savageduck's links once more, they have not appeared
    in my iCloud Drive again.

    What are you suggesting, that you, and you alone, have an iCloud setting
    bug? Contact Apple if you believe that's so.

    FTR has a vast amount of computer knowledge.

    Didn't he say he wasn't 'up' on the 'iCloud thing'? In any event, beyond
    what has already been explained, unless he sat with you (and saw you inadvertently do it) he's not going to be able to help you.

    Although he's not an Apple man of long-standing, he may have been able
    to suggest what may have occurred.

    Please don't remove rec.photo.digital - that's where WhiskyDave reads
    and posts. He's a technician in a London University computer laboratory
    and knows much about Apple devices.

    If it contains you 'doing what you do' I'll confine it to ACW.

    Why don't you just ask WD directly? But then, even after you get
    essentially the same response you've already been given you'll ignore it because it's not conducive to you 'doing what you do' <shrug>.

    I HAVE asked WD directly.

      I wonder why it's considered unsafe ? as I've not heard that before.

    Some characters have meaning to the systems that they pass through, they
    cause actions rather than just being interpreted as characters passing
    through. The same sort of thing that makes content transfer encoding
    necessary for NNTP.

    For URI/URL in particular:

    https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt

    " Unsafe:

      Characters can be unsafe for a number of reasons.  The space
      character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and
      insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or
      typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs.
      The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the
      delimiters around URLs in free text; the quote mark (""") is used to
      delimit URLs in some systems.  The character "#" is unsafe and should >>   always be encoded because it is used in World Wide Web and in other
      systems to delimit a URL from a fragment/anchor identifier that might
      follow it.  The character "%" is unsafe because it is used for
      encodings of other characters.  Other characters are unsafe because
      gateways and other transport agents are known to sometimes modify
      such characters. These characters are "{", "}", "|", "\", "^", "~",
      "[", "]", and "`".

      All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL. For
      example, the character "#" must be encoded within URLs even in
      systems that do not normally deal with fragment or anchor
      identifiers, so that if the URL is copied into another system that
      does use them, it will not be necessary to change the URL encoding."

    Also, reserved characters:

    Reserved:

      Many URL schemes reserve certain characters for a special meaning:
      their appearance in the scheme-specific part of the URL has a
      designated semantics. If the character corresponding to an octet is
      reserved in a scheme, the octet must be encoded.  The characters ";", >>   "/", "?", ":", "@", "=" and "&" are the characters which may be
      reserved for special meaning within a scheme. No other characters may
      be reserved within a scheme.

      Usually a URL has the same interpretation when an octet is
      represented by a character and when it encoded. However, this is not
      true for reserved characters: encoding a character reserved for a
      particular scheme may change the semantics of a URL.

      Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and
      reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used
      unencoded within a URL.

      On the other hand, characters that are not required to be encoded
      (including alphanumerics) may be encoded within the scheme-specific
      part of a URL, as long as they are not being used for a reserved
      purpose.

    Can YOU explain how the videos of Savageduck found their way onto my iCloud Drive?

    No, but I'm guessing that you at least attempted to show them to
    someone who was using a small screen, and iCloud/iCloud Drive had it so
    as to convert it to a format for that screen or something like that.

    Are you banned from Apple? Maybe you could ask them if such a scenario
    is possible. They don't seem to have a detailed description of the
    inner workings anywhere.

    What link?

    I am missing something.

    You clicked some links, I think, and watched videos.

    You have files in your iCloud drive. Maybe even the same videos? But how are these things connected? Clicking a link to watch a video does not save files, to your iCloud dive or elsewhere. Maybe if you have you cache set there... something like that. But then it would be other files.

    I am missing something.

    Sounds to me that you had whatever directory the files were downloaded to configured to back up to
    iCloud.
    I'm not a Mac user but I had a similar problem with MS Onedrive. It has defaults that get set up
    when you install/activate it and I noticed similar behavior.

    If someone shares a file in iCloud, others can view it and it gets added to their iCloud drive for easy access.

    I do not know all the combos and options.

    For URI/URL in particular:

    https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt

    " Unsafe:

      Characters can be unsafe for a number of reasons.  The space
      character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and
      insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or >>>>   typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs. >>>>   The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the >>>>   delimiters around URLs in free text; the quote mark (""") is used to >>>>   delimit URLs in some systems.  The character "#" is unsafe and should
      always be encoded because it is used in World Wide Web and in other >>>>   systems to delimit a URL from a fragment/anchor identifier that might >>>>   follow it.  The character "%" is unsafe because it is used for
      encodings of other characters.  Other characters are unsafe because >>>>   gateways and other transport agents are known to sometimes modify >>>>   such characters. These characters are "{", "}", "|", "\", "^", "~", >>>>   "[", "]", and "`".

      All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL. For
      example, the character "#" must be encoded within URLs even in
      systems that do not normally deal with fragment or anchor
      identifiers, so that if the URL is copied into another system that >>>>   does use them, it will not be necessary to change the URL encoding." >>>>
    Also, reserved characters:

    Reserved:

      Many URL schemes reserve certain characters for a special meaning: >>>>   their appearance in the scheme-specific part of the URL has a
      designated semantics. If the character corresponding to an octet is >>>>   reserved in a scheme, the octet must be encoded.  The characters ";",
      "/", "?", ":", "@", "=" and "&" are the characters which may be
      reserved for special meaning within a scheme. No other characters may >>>>   be reserved within a scheme.

      Usually a URL has the same interpretation when an octet is
      represented by a character and when it encoded. However, this is not >>>>   true for reserved characters: encoding a character reserved for a >>>>   particular scheme may change the semantics of a URL.

      Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and >>>>   reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used
      unencoded within a URL.

      On the other hand, characters that are not required to be encoded >>>>   (including alphanumerics) may be encoded within the scheme-specific >>>>   part of a URL, as long as they are not being used for a reserved

    It doesn't explain how the movie found its way onto my iCloud Drive
    though!

    Can YOU explain how the videos of Savageduck found their way onto my
    iCloud Drive?

    Unless he sat next to you the entire time, right up until it happened,
    how could he explain it? Notably, you glossed over an actual
    conversation in order to 'do what you do'. Why?

    FTR was replying to WhiskyDave, not to me.

    No, this is not an "attack", it's a logical question based on you 'doing
    what you do' when, in this case, your question is one that can't be
    answered any better than it already has.

    I'm just curious. I'm positive that *I* didn't put the Savageduck videos
    onto my iCloud Drive. Having wiped my computer clean and reinstalled -
    and having opened Savageduck's links once more, they have not appeared
    in my iCloud Drive again.

    FTR has a vast amount of computer knowledge. Although he's not an Apple
    man of long-standing, he may have been able to suggest what may have occurred.

    Please don't remove rec.photo.digital - that's where WhiskyDave reads
    and posts. He's a technician in a London University computer laboratory
    and knows much about Apple devices.

    Sounds to me that you had whatever directory the files were downloaded to configured to back up to
    iCloud.
    I'm not a Mac user but I had a similar problem with MS Onedrive. It has defaults that get set up
    when you install/activate it and I noticed similar behavior.

    Yes, One Drive on first use(never having signed in, oobe use) will configure Backup for:
    - Desktop, Documents, Pictures located your specific Windows user logon C:\\Users\<windows logon>
    ...but, to do so, user intervention is necessary and with acceptance to
    occur
    - i.e. a screen prompt showing the Backup windows with each of those
    folder options needs to be 'Ok'd'

    The other direction available is not 'up' to the MSA's OneDrive(cloud)
    - It's from OneDrive online down to the local stored OneDrive folder Again...user intervention is necessary to configure what syncs down

    OneDrive does not have settings for applications/apps that integrate
    with OneDrive. Those applications have their own OneDrive
    'save-to-cloud' settings.

    THANK YOU :-D

    presentation,

    Why would a modern browser accept unsafe characters in a URL and reject
    properly encoded ones?

      I wonder why it's considered unsafe ? as I've not heard that before.

    Some characters have meaning to the systems that they pass through, they >>>>> cause actions rather than just being interpreted as characters passing >>>>> through. The same sort of thing that makes content transfer encoding >>>>> necessary for NNTP.

    For URI/URL in particular:

    https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt

    " Unsafe:

      Characters can be unsafe for a number of reasons.  The space
      character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and >>>>>   insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or >>>>>   typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs. >>>>>   The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the >>>>>   delimiters around URLs in free text; the quote mark (""") is used to

      gateways and other transport agents are known to sometimes modify >>>>>   such characters. These characters are "{", "}", "|", "\", "^", "~", >>>>>   "[", "]", and "`".

      All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL. For >>>>>   example, the character "#" must be encoded within URLs even in >>>>>   systems that do not normally deal with fragment or anchor
      identifiers, so that if the URL is copied into another system that >>>>>   does use them, it will not be necessary to change the URL encoding."

    Also, reserved characters:

    Reserved:

      Many URL schemes reserve certain characters for a special meaning: >>>>>   their appearance in the scheme-specific part of the URL has a
      designated semantics. If the character corresponding to an octet is >>>>>   reserved in a scheme, the octet must be encoded.  The characters ";",
      "/", "?", ":", "@", "=" and "&" are the characters which may be >>>>>   reserved for special meaning within a scheme. No other characters may
      be reserved within a scheme.

      Usually a URL has the same interpretation when an octet is
      represented by a character and when it encoded. However, this is not

    FTR wouldn't have seen your post Dave.

    (ACW group added)

    It doesn't explain how the movie found its way onto my iCloud Drive >>>>>> though!

    Can YOU explain how the videos of Savageduck found their way onto my
    iCloud Drive?

    Unless he sat next to you the entire time, right up until it happened,
    how could he explain it? Notably, you glossed over an actual
    conversation in order to 'do what you do'. Why?

    FTR was replying to WhiskyDave, not to me.

    No, this is not an "attack", it's a logical question based on you 'doing >>> what you do' when, in this case, your question is one that can't be
    answered any better than it already has.

    I'm just curious. I'm positive that *I* didn't put the Savageduck videos
    onto my iCloud Drive. Having wiped my computer clean and reinstalled -
    and having opened Savageduck's links once more, they have not appeared
    in my iCloud Drive again.

    FTR has a vast amount of computer knowledge. Although he's not an Apple
    man of long-standing, he may have been able to suggest what may have
    occurred.

    Please don't remove rec.photo.digital - that's where WhiskyDave reads
    and posts. He's a technician in a London University computer laboratory
    and knows much about Apple devices.

    Sounds to me that you had whatever directory the files were downloaded to configured to back up to
    iCloud.
    I'm not a Mac user but I had a similar problem with MS Onedrive. It has defaults that get set up
    when you install/activate it and I noticed similar behavior.

    I appreciate you taking the time and trouble to follow what I have been
    talking about. Does an antivirus software programme running on a Windows machine scan MS OneDrive?

    As I've mentioned that does NOT occur with the Apple iCloud Drive. In
    effect, it's a secret hiding place!

    The icons are just about a file type and what app you had set to open them. Likely some sort of video... and perhaps this app:

    As I've mentioned that does NOT occur with the Apple iCloud Drive. In
    effect, it's a secret hiding place!

    A place where it makes little sense to 'hide' <shrug>.

    Unless the iCloud acct. has been hacked, how did the 'bad stuff' get up
    there? From someone's Mac. Aren't you the guy who keeps arguing about
    how Macs don't need protection? If that's true, then the files that go
    up to iCloud don't need it either ;)


    Maybe my iCloud Drive *HAD* been hacked without my knowledge. <shrug>

    Unlikely, though someone could have gotten your password.

    Who knows?!! Changed quite often by me as a matter of my policy!

    I'm 100% sure that I didn't put the 'Clapper Board' icons on there!

    https://jmp.sh/ujJB7ME

    The icons could have looked different.

    But they didn't.
    They looked like this, as I've said before:- https://jmp.sh/ujJB7ME

    They look rather 'transparent' IYKWIM

    Does that mean anything to you?

    Just say no if you have no idea. Thanks.

    The icons are just about a file type and what app you had set to open them. Likely some sort of video... and perhaps this app:

    If someone is adding things to your iCloud drive the mostly likely way is by having your password.

    Thanks, FTR. :-D

    I have every confidence in Apple and do subscribe for and use extra
    storage space. I have, though, discovered that I can personally add
    items to my iCloud Drive. If *I* can do so, I have little doubt that
    'someone' with access to my machine could ALSO put things onto my iCloud
    Drive. Whilst there it remains hidden from my view, hidden from Apple
    security scans and from scans by third-party anti-malware scanners. It
    also remains there when one ERASES all data from one's hardware.

    Do you understand what I am saying?

    Have I misunderstood something?

    Please advise.

    I have every confidence in Apple and do subscribe for and use extra storage space. I have, though, discovered that I can personally add items to my iCloud Drive. If *I* can do so, I have little doubt that 'someone' with access to my machine could ALSO put things onto my iCloud Drive. Whilst there it remains hidden from my view, hidden from Apple security scans and from scans by third-party anti-malware scanners. It also remains there when one ERASES all data from one's hardware.

    Do you understand what I am saying?

    Have I misunderstood something?

    Please advise.

    Physical access to the machine often trumps all other attempts at
    security.

    If they are at your machine and it is unlocked, absolutely. Same if with you phone. And, remember, if you or someone else adds it to one device it will be there for another. That is the nature of online storage.

    Whilst there it remains hidden from my view, hidden from Apple
    security scans and from scans by third-party anti-malware scanners. It

    Of course. One has to delete things from the online storage to have it be removed from online storage.

    I've skimmed over that. It's above my pay-grade!

    I can write a simple AppleScript that moves things to your iCloud drive (though it would ask for your permission). What would the value be of malware doing this?


    I'm not doing well getting my point across!!! :-(

    If malware is able to hide on one's iCloud Drive it can survive the
    complete erasure
    of a computer's hard drive(s) or even the replacement of the complete computer.When a user reconnects to the Internet using their Apple ID,
    I'm fairly
    sure that, with the right 'encouragement', that same malware could be
    extracted from the iCloud Drive and then get back to work on its
    malicious activity, on the computer's main hard drive.

    If they are at your machine and it is unlocked, absolutely. Same if with you >> phone. And, remember, if you or someone else adds it to one device it will be
    there for another. That is the nature of online storage.

    Yes, of course.

    Whilst there it remains hidden from my view, hidden from Apple
    security scans and from scans by third-party anti-malware scanners. It
    also remains there when one ERASES all data from one's hardware.

    Of course. One has to delete things from the online storage to have it be
    removed from online storage.

    Oh my!

    Do you understand what I am saying?

    Have I misunderstood something?

    Please advise.

    You seem to think malware sitting on a drive would be a risk to you, even
    without you opening it.

    Again, you are misunderstanding. :-(

    So what is the issue? You had files on your drive years ago which you do not recall putting there, but the only explanation is you or someone with access
    to your devices did. You are somehow tying this to another service and another Usenet group. I did not understand that connection. Seems you or maybe, if she has access, your wife put some files on your iCloud drive.

    Can you explain what I am missing?

    *DID* you understand what I said above? *DO you* think that MALWARE
    and/or malicious software 'tools' /could/ move data onto one's Apple iCloud Drive?

    Yes, but you would have to have malicious activity on the computer you
    use to access that storage in order for there to be that activity. The
    scanners should not change or add data to the drive.

    It's like an external harddrive with everything on it encrypted. For
    something to move malicious material onto it would need the right
    (write) local privilege level. For the other direction it would need
    the right privilege level to 'read' the data so as to decrypt the data
    and scan the data for malware locally.

    You seem to 'want' to have a plausible scenario (rationalization) for distrusting those AM tools that you mistrust. Suffice it to say that
    malware or tools with adequate privilege can do anything the user can
    do. If you can put something somewhere, it can put something somewhere;
    if you can take something from somewhere, it can take something from
    somewhere.

    I can write a simple AppleScript that moves things to your iCloud drive
    (though it would ask for your permission). What would the value be of malware
    doing this?


    I'm not doing well getting my point across!!! :-(

    If malware is able to hide on one's iCloud Drive it can survive the
    complete erasure
    of a computer's hard drive(s) or even the replacement of the complete
    computer.

    Right. Just like if you had it on an external drive not connected to your machine.

    Yes!

    When a user reconnects to the Internet using their Apple ID,
    I'm fairly
    sure that, with the right 'encouragement', that same malware could be
    extracted from the iCloud Drive and then get back to work on its
    malicious activity, on the computer's main hard drive.

    How?

    The same way a thumb drive, with installed malware, can infect a
    computer if it is inserted into a USB socket.

    It makes little sense to scan encrypted data at rest for

    I have every confidence in Apple and do subscribe for and use extra
    storage space. I have, though, discovered that I can personally add
    items to my iCloud Drive. If *I* can do so, I have little doubt that
    'someone' with access to my machine could ALSO put things onto my

    *DID* you understand what I said above? *DO you* think that MALWARE
    and/or malicious software 'tools' /could/ move data onto one's Apple
    iCloud Drive?

    Yes, but you would have to have malicious activity on the computer you
    use to access that storage in order for there to be that activity. The scanners should not change or add data to the drive.

    It's like an external harddrive with everything on it encrypted. For something to move malicious material onto it would need the right
    (write) local privilege level. For the other direction it would need the right privilege level to 'read' the data so as to decrypt the data and
    scan the data for malware locally.

    You seem to 'want' to have a plausible scenario (rationalization) for distrusting those AM tools that you mistrust. Suffice it to say that
    malware or tools with adequate privilege can do anything the user can
    do. If you can put something somewhere, it can put something somewhere;
    if you can take something from somewhere, it can take something from somewhere.

    Thank you, Rafters. This has nothing to do with AM tools - just
    confirmation of a general principal. I appreciate you help. 🙂

    I'm not doing well getting my point across!!! :-(

    If malware is able to hide on one's iCloud Drive it can survive the

    of a computer's hard drive(s) or even the replacement of the complete
    computer.

    Right. Just like if you had it on an external drive not connected to your >>> machine.

    Yes!

    When a user reconnects to the Internet using their Apple ID,
    I'm fairly
    sure that, with the right 'encouragement', that same malware could be
    extracted from the iCloud Drive and then get back to work on its
    malicious activity, on the computer's main hard drive.

    How?

    The same way a thumb drive, with installed malware, can infect a
    computer if it is inserted into a USB socket.

    The USB standard has vulnerabilities I do not think iCloud does.

    ITYM no 'features' like autorun/autoplay to deal with. Yes, it is so
    annoying to have to push an additional button or two to play my movies
    and video games after I plug them into the USB sockets.

    yes they most certainly have.

    start here. there's more detailed information in their white papers.

    <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303>
    For additional privacy and security, many Apple services use
    end-to-end encryption, which encrypts your information using
    keys derived from your devices and your device passcode, which
    only you know. This means that only you can decrypt and access
    your information, and only on trusted devices where you're signed
    in with your Apple ID. No one else, not even Apple, can access your
    end-to-end encrypted data. End-to-end encryption requires two-factor
    authentication for your Apple ID and a passcode set on your devices.
    Some features using end-to-end encryption may require up-to-date
    software.

    Your signature sucks.

    Your opinion has been noted. Personally I think it is a good reminder of much
    of what we see in too many Usenet groups. People too often try to tear others
    down, largely because they do not feel good about themselves. It is one thing
    to note specific inappropriate behavior, but so many people are clearly
    hurting.

    Reduce it to 72 characters per line.

    No.

    I will do that for you.

    Unlikely.

    There are also a lot of people on Usenet who use the semi-anonymous nature and the fact there is no way to block them (in most cases) as a way to just get their jollies attacking people. It is a shame there is that side to humanity.

    Sounds to me that you had whatever directory the files were downloaded to

    I'm not a Mac user but I had a similar problem with MS Onedrive.
    It has defaults that get set up when you install/activate it and I
    noticed similar behavior.

    Yes, One Drive on first use(never having signed in, oobe use) will configure Backup for:
    - Desktop, Documents, Pictures located your specific Windows user logon C:\\Users\<windows logon>
    ...but, to do so, user intervention is necessary and with acceptance to
    occur
    - i.e. a screen prompt showing the Backup windows with each of those
    folder options needs to be 'Ok'd'

    The other direction available is not 'up' to the MSA's OneDrive(cloud)
    - It's from OneDrive online down to the local stored OneDrive folder Again...user intervention is necessary to configure what syncs down

    OneDrive does not have settings for applications/apps that integrate
    with OneDrive. Those applications have their own OneDrive
    'save-to-cloud' settings.

    I wonder if they scan such drives for illegal material?

    I've just watched this again. It's a very special place.

    Reposting the link to check again.


    The video at the link above now plays perfectly using Safari! :-D

    Does it play for you?

    It plays here, but takes ages to start, slow website?

    I would like to know WHY it is so slow to start. How can one determine
    that?

    Nice place, I wish I lived there but it's a bit warm.

    There's certainly a lot of money tied up is all those boats! ;-)

    Oops! Perhaps I should have said "moored up IN all those boats"!

    Apologies for the typo!

    I guess that would have meant you can't release the money, but I'm sure it's easy to sell a boat.

    And you can't call it a typo when you changed 4 letters.

    Sure you can, if it was typed, and in error.

    It's a shit server, it's overloaded, or they have a slow internet connection.  Not sure you can tell what systems they have without asking.

    Unless you forget to tie up the boat, then your money is at sea.

    Hmmm. Can you ask Paul if he has any idea?

    Paul?

    Yes, Paul. You've chatted to him often on the Windows 10 Usenet group.

    Nice place, I wish I lived there but it's a bit warm.

    There's certainly a lot of money tied up is all those boats! ;-)

    Unless you forget to tie up the boat, then your money is at sea.

    Indeed. ALL at Sea! 🙂

    All out at sea.  Cabin boys, strip!

    Not in my experience!

    Video wrappers need to load up the buffer, to handle
    variation in delivery rate later. For example, my TV tuner
    card sends video six feet from the other computer, and it
    insists on a fifteen second buffer depth (which is ridiculous).

    Some ISPs throttle video connections on purpose. You
    may pay for 1Gbit/sec service, but your Netflix might
    still only run at 3Mbit/sec. They call that "traffic management"
    or something (for Netflix the company, it's hostage-taking).

    That's why you cannot just look at the delivery rate,
    and draw any conclusions about how hefty the smugmug server is.
    Just about anyone in the path could choose to throttle smugmug.

    Some companies pay for hosting in the "last mile", so their
    content comes from a rack mount server at each ISP. This
    improves the odds that the content will not be messed with.
    A company with a relatively small number of movies, like a
    Netflix, can afford such a scheme. It still costs money,
    but at least it can be implemented. If the movie collection
    is too large, then you can't really afford to distribute it
    that way (too many hard drives).

    It plays here, but takes ages to start, slow website?

    I would like to know WHY it is so slow to start. How can one
    determine
    that?

    It's a shit server, it's overloaded, or they have a slow internet
    connection.  Not sure you can tell what systems they have without
    asking.

    Hmmm. Can you ask Paul if he has any idea?

    Paul?

    Yes, Paul.  You've chatted to him often on the Windows 10 Usenet group.

    I don't know him any more than you do.  I've added this to the Windows
    *11* group (he's probably in both?)

    Yes, you do!

    He's one of the most knowledgeable and helpful techie posters on Usenet.

    He also has a wonderful sense of humour!

    Nice place, I wish I lived there but it's a bit warm.

    There's certainly a lot of money tied up is all those boats! ;-)

    Unless you forget to tie up the boat, then your money is at sea.

    Indeed. ALL at Sea! 🙂

    All out at sea.  Cabin boys, strip!

    Not in my experience!

    Did they not want you?

    You should have listened more carefully during your recent visit to
    Portsmouth!

    I guess that would have meant you can't release the money, but I'm
    sure
    it's easy to sell a boat.

    And you can't call it a typo when you changed 4 letters.

    I changed "is" to "in"!

    My subconscious autocorrected is to in.  I meant you changed tied to
    moored.

    I know what you meant, but you were mistaken! :-P

    You were ambiguous.  I challenge thee to a mud wrestle.

    Ha! :-D (I was - deliberately!)

    True. You made a joke. Also, if it means exclusively 'fat finger error'
    then the origin of the term for typesetters loses its meaning.

    Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

    They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

    Sure you can, if it was typed, and in error.

    Typo is short for typographical error, or hitting the wrong key. What
    he did was an error in his thought process.
    F A L S E ❤️

    Actually in this case it's true in a gramatical way.
    It's like aeroplanes are piloted and cars are driven, and bikes are riden. Some refer to this as a brain fart, as in using the wrong word for the wrong thing.

    Most people can work it out for themselves.

    No doubt you've heard of the constipated mathematician who worked it out
    with a pencil?

    Although roger the cabin boy and 'roger' the cabin boy being rogered by the cabin boy is different

    You have a sick mind!

    Thanks. That explains your alleged sexual activities during your time in
    the Royal Navy. It must have been quite thrilling for you to engage in
    behavior that you knew would have significant consequences if you were discovered. And then you were discovered, and we all know what happened

    Read about Alan Turing, here:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

    I can accept that. Yes, there have been, and are, many places in most cultures where such things take precedence over who is best for the job. And I think we ALL do that to some extent. It is not fair, though, and I try to minimize my biases.

    Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

    They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

    One day the world will stop being so prudish. Did you know in California it's actually illegal for a woman to expose her breasts, even on a baking hot day on a Californian beach?!

    And yet the same state will only fine you 500 (and no points or ban or prison) for going 4 times the posted speed limit.

    I'm sure they just have three lines.

    The original "Plimsoll mark" was a circle with a horizontal line through
    it to show the maximum draft of a ship. Additional marks have been added
    over the years, allowing for different water densities and expected sea conditions.

    Letters may also appear to the sides of the mark indicating the
    classification society that has surveyed the vessel's load line. The
    initials used include AB for the American Bureau of Shipping, BV for
    Bureau Veritas, VL for DNV GL, IR for the Indian Register of Shipping,
    LR for Lloyd's Register, NK for Nippon Kaiji Kyokai and RI for the
    Registro Italiano Navale. These letters are approximately 115
    millimetres in height and 75 millimetres in width (4.5 by 3.0 in).[9]
    The load line length is referred to during and following load line calculations.

    The letters on the load line marks have the following meanings:

    TF – tropical fresh water
    F – fresh water
    T – tropical seawater
    S – summer temperate seawater
    W – winter temperate seawater
    WNA – winter North Atlantic

    Were you not told about the expression "*show us a leg*"?

    I'll let you Google for that!

    Ah, that sounds familiar. I think that could get complicated. Simple enough going into salt water, but temperature.... the density of the water changes, but so does the ship! A ship in tropical water will also be warmer along with the surrounding
    water.

    I dislike tongue and groove, it makes things creak. I always use seperate pieces of wood.

    Not sure how much the ship getting warmer would affect bouyancey , but the plimsoll line is for use at port rather than while travelling.
    And unless it's a sailing shiop then the fuel used would lighten the weight of the ship during the voyage, this would also apply to sailing ships as the crew went through the food stocks.

    Hadn't thought about the subject much at all, but it makes sense. I suspect that another thing
    to keep in mind is that these are basically safety ratings, so there can be factors other than
    merely the strict physics of water density which determine them.

    For example, I see that WNA is listed ... this region became even more notorious during WW2 for
    having rough seas, which could call for a ship to run with greater freeboard, and it also was known
    for heavy winter ice on superstructures (risk) which adds weight (and instability), which requires
    less cargo while being loaded in port in order to maintain safety margins, etc.
