[PL] To be or not to be WISE…

imageDawno, dawno temu pisałem na tym blogu o serii programów o wpólnym przedrostku – WISE – zestawie aplikacji, które moga się przydać osobom dbającym o porządek w swoim systemie czy systemach. Przy ostatniej aktualizacji jednego z nich okazało się, że nowa wersja > beta 8.0.2 Wise Disc Cleaner > już jest. Nie omieszkałem więc spróbować i nowej mocy i nowych algorytmów wyszukiwania i oto jest:

Captura_wisedc01

Rys.1 | Pierwsza “główna” zakładka WDC – wreszcie UI zbliżone do kafelek.

Pierwszy (zautomatyzowany) wybór pozwala na usunięcie najbardziej wkurzających i niepotrzebnych (według mnie) elementów śmieciowych w systemie, jakiś cache, historia przeglądania, niepotrzebne pliki systemowe (zwłaszcza tymczasowe), czy multimedia.

Captura_wisedc03

Rys.2 | Trzecia “wyczyszczająca” zakładka.

Tutaj zaś możemy usunąc przede wszystkim pozostałości po instalacji poprawek wszelakich. Na na obrazku: 2GB przestrzeni więcej na dysku systemowym, nawet przy dużych dyskach piechotą nie chodzi.

Możemy oczywiście pobawić się usuwanymi plikami bardziej zaawansowanie, dodając wszelakie wykluczenia jakie chcemy zrobić, oraz zrobić defragmentację (poprzedzoną analizą) naszych wolumenów (niestety dalej nie można podpiąć zasobów sieciowych).

Używam od kilku lat niektórych ich produktów, porządki robione w miarę regularnie zdecydowanie polepszają moje samopoczucie, a i na system wpływają korzystnie. Oprócze Disk Cleaner do moich faworytów należą Registry Cleaner, Program Uninstaller i Memory Optimizer. Poniżej ich pełna lista:

Przy obecnym kursie dolara…

[EN] New Virtual Box release available (v.4.3.4)

LOGO__VirtualBox_gradientHo Ho Ho! Two weeks ago Oracle released new version of VirtualBox hypervisor. Now it’s time to play. For many reasons this is my favourite environment now, and I’m happy to share information what’s happened with this version. You can download different versions of VirtualBox installation files from the site:

Of course You should remember about very cool extension pack for VirtualBox:

  • VirtualBox 4.3.4 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack All supported platforms
    Support for USB 2.0 devices, VirtualBox RDP and PXE boot for Intel cards.

After upgrading VirtualBox environment and extention pack, remember to update extension packs version on each virtual machines in Your environment. What happened with new version? Lets look for changelog (copied from site):

In this is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:

  • VMM: fix for a bug in the Local APIC emulation causing a BSOD when booting certain guests (4.3.0 regression; bug #12240)
  • VMM: fixed loading of saved states if VT-x/AMD-V was disabled (4.3.2 regression; bug #12291)
  • VMM: fixed single-stepping inside the guest for certain instructions (VT-x only; bug #10947)

  • VMM: fixed TPR patching to be enabled for 32-bit guests even when the chosen guest type is 64-bit (4.3.0 regression; AMD-V only)

  • GUI: fixed incorrect wizards text colors for some unusual look and feel styles (bug #11743)
  • GUI: should restore seamless mode as soon as possible after VM reboot or shutdown
  • GUI: fixes for medium enumeration
  • GUI: the OS X hot corners were not accessible while a VirtualBox VM is running (Mac OS X hosts only; bug #4139)
  • GUI: fixed an old bug which bared the host from cleanly shutdown / reboot if the VM selector window is open (Mac OS X hosts only; bug #8254)
  • Host-only Networking: fixed creating of host-only network interfaces (4.3.0 regression; bug #12182)
  • NAT: don’t run into an infinite loop in case the host cannot access any DNS server (4.3.0 regression; bug #12300)
  • NAT: don’t re-connect the cable if the DNS information changes and the cable was disconnected before (4.3.0 regression; bug #12225)
  • NAT: fixed several issues with automatically starting / terminating of NAT networks on VM start / stop and configuration changes
  • VBoxNetDHCP: don’t block prevent VBoxSVC from terminating (bug #12264)

  • API: mark VM configurations with snapshots but without current snapshot as inaccessible, as this combination is nonsense
  • API: fixed information for some automatically generated events (only with XPCOM, Windows host was not affected), which caused errors when getting some of the attributes over the webservice (bug#12379)
  • SDK: extended the functionality coverage for the C bindings
