AnyDesk 2.3.0

Working together? Accessing your apps from the road? Showing family videos to your friends?
No problem with AnyDesk. And your data stays at home.

A New Perspective on Remote Desktop
You know how re­mote desk­top used to be: slow and te­dious. For the de­vel­op­ment of Any­Desk, we took a step back and asked our­selves fun­da­men­tal ques­tions. How should re­mote desk­top work? What is fea­si­ble with mod­ern com­puter hard­ware? Any­Desk was de­signed from the ground up to be ground break­ing. At its core is DeskRT, a new video codec that is specif­i­cally de­signed for graph­i­cal user in­ter­faces. That's why Any­Desk is one leap ahead.

Any­Desk is the fastest re­mote desk­top soft­ware on the mar­ket. It al­lows for new usage sce­nar­ios and ap­pli­ca­tions that have not been pos­si­ble with cur­rent re­mote desk­top soft­ware.

Framerate

Any­Desk trans­mits 60 frames per sec­ond over local net­works and many in­ter­net con­nec­tions. This is much more than any com­pe­ting re­mote desk­top ap­pli­ca­tion and makes on-screen move­ment as smooth as pos­si­ble, as most PC dis­plays also op­er­ate at 60 frames per sec­ond. Any­Desk makes jerk-free work­ing pos­si­ble.

lowest latency

Latency

La­tency at the low­est pos­si­ble level is crit­i­cal for work­ing on a re­mote desk­top. The lower the la­tency, the quicker the re­mote PC re­sponds to your input. Since in­ter­net con­nec­tions al­ways im­pose a cer­tain la­tency when trans­mit­ting data from one PC to the other, it is very im­por­tant that Any­Desk adds as lit­tle as pos­si­ble to the bill. In local net­works, Any­Desks la­tency lies below 16 mil­lisec­onds and is no longer per­cep­ti­ble.

highest bandwidth efficiency

Traffic

If re­mote desk­top soft­ware is used over an in­ter­net con­nec­tion, the high­est pos­si­ble band­with ef­fi­ciency is the de­cid­ing fac­tor. This is es­pe­cially true for mo­bile con­nec­tions like UMTS. Any­Desks band­width ef­fi­ciency makes it pos­si­ble to per­form of­fice tasks flu­ently from 100 kB/sec of avail­able band­width. But also with lower band­widths, Any­Desk still per­forms much bet­ter than the com­pe­ti­tion.

Access

For­get about low re­li­a­bil­ity and te­dious fire­wall con­figu­rations. Use your perso­nal com­puter from any­where and with­out any head­aches. Whether for five min­utes or five hours - you won't even no­tice Any­Desk is there. Your perso­nalized Any­Desk-ID is the key to your desk­top with all your ap­pli­ca­tions, pho­tos, docu­ments and files. And your data stays where it be­longs. On your hard drive, and nowhere else.

Online Collaboration
Collaborate

Do you feel bad about en­trusting your com­pany data with an ex­ter­nal cloud ser­vice just to en­able collabo­ration? Any­Desk al­lows you to you work to­gether with all of your fa­vorite desk­top appli­cations. Fea­tures like a mouse cur­sor for every user will glue your team to­gether, no mat­ter what dis­tance. Point your peers at what's impor­tant - and communi­cation prob­lems will be a thing of the past.

Remote Support
Assist

Did you know that re­mote sup­port can be fun? Any­Desk can do so much more than just re­mote ad­mini­stration and re­mote sup­port. But this doesn't mean that it can­not shine here as well. Lag and low frame­rate can be such a nui­sance. That's why we chose to get rid of them. With Any­Desk, set­ting up a work­mate's new printer or in­stalling that new CRM tool for the sales depart­ment is a walk in the park.

Go ahead and put us to the test.

Still skep­ti­cal? Why don't you put us to the test and see for your­self? No strings at­tached. We love work­ing with Any­Desk and so will you. And best of all, there is a free ver­sion of Any­Desk.

Mozilla Thunderbird 45.1 Beta / 45.0

Software made to make email easier.
Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features!

Thunderbird Features
Thunderbird makes email better for you, bringing together speed, privacy and the latest technologies.

Easier to Get Started

Mail Account Setup Wizard
Prior to this feature you had to know your IMAP, SMTP, and SSL/TLS settings. Now all you need to provide is your name, email address, and password and the email account set up wizardry will check our database and find the email settings for you.

Personalized Email Addresses
Ever dreamed of having a personalized email address (such as "dad@thesmithfamily.com") for you, your family or your business? Thunderbird makes this easy - you can sign up for a new email address within Thunderbird, and it will all be set up automatically for you ready to send and receive.
One-click Address Book
One-click Address Book is a quick and easy way to add people to your address book. Add people by simply clicking on the star icon in the message you receive. Two clicks and you can add more details like a photo, birthday, and other contact information.

Attachment Reminder
The attachment reminder looks for the word attachment (and other words like file types) in the body of your message and reminds you to add an attachment before hitting send.

Multiple-channel chat
Enjoy real-time conversation with your contacts, right from your favorite messaging application, with multiple supported networks. Thunderbird makes it easy to search through both past conversations and received emails.
Tabs and Search

Tabbed Email
Thunderbird replicates the new look and feel of Mozilla Firefox in an effort to provide a similar user experience across all Mozilla software desktop or mobile and all platforms.

Tabbed email lets you load emails in separate tabs so you can quickly jump between them. Tabs appear on the top of the menu bar providing a powerful visual experience and allowing the toolbars to be much more contextual.

Tabbed email lets you keep multiple emails open for easy reference. Double-clicking or hitting Enter on a mail message will open that message in a new tab.

When quitting Thunderbird, visible tabs will be saved and will be restored when you open Thunderbird the next time. There is also a Tab menu on the Tab toolbar to help you switch between tabs.

Search the Web
You can now search the Web without having to leave Thunderbird. Type whatever comes to mind in Thunderbird’s search box and choose from several different search providers.

You can also highlight words in your email, right click, and select "search the web for:" to start your Web search.
Quick Filter Toolbar
The Quick Filter Toolbar lets you filter your email faster. Start typing in words in the Quick Filter search box and the results are displayed instantly. Or you can filter your email by New Messages, Tags, and people in your Address Book. You can also "Pin" or save a Filter and use it across multiple folders.

Search Tools
The search interface in Thunderbird contains filtering and timeline tools to pinpoint the exact email you’re looking for. Thunderbird also indexes all of your emails and chat conversations to help you search even faster. Your search results are displayed in a tab so you can easily switch back and forth to your search results and other email.

Message Archive
If you think you’re going to need an email in the future but want it out of your inbox without deleting it, archive it! Archiving helps you manage your inbox and put your email into the archive folder system.

Selecting the Archive button or hitting the ‘A’ key will archive your email.

Activity Manager
The Activity Manager records all the interactions between Thunderbird and your email provider in one place. There’s no more guess work. You only have to look in one place to see everything that’s happening with your email.

Customize Your Email Experience

Large Files Management
Share large files with Thunderbird Filelink!

You can now speed up the transfer of large documents by uploading them to an online storage provider and sharing the link instead of sending the file directly as a message attachment. Improve the speed of sending email and avoid message rejection if the recipient’s server disallows large files. As an added bonus, you’ll also save space in your sent folder and the recipient’s inbox.
Thunderbird Look & Feel
With Personas, lightweight "skins" allow you to change the look and feel of Thunderbird in an instant. Hundreds of skins are available from the latest movies, famous landmarks, and Japanese tattoos. You can also choose from several Themes that dress up all the different icons in Thunderbird.
Smart Folders
Smart Folders help you manage multiple email accounts by combining special folders like your Inbox, Sent, or Archive folder. Instead of going to the Inbox for each of your mail accounts, you can see all of your incoming email in one Inbox folder.
Add-ons Manager
Find and install add-ons directly in Thunderbird. You no longer need to visit the add-ons Web site - instead simply fire up the Add-ons Manager. Not sure which add-on is right for you? Ratings, recommendations, descriptions and pictures of the add-ons in action help you make your selection.
Secure and Protect Your Email
Robust Privacy and Do Not Track
Thunderbird offers support for user privacy and remote image protection. To ensure a user’s privacy, Thunderbird automatically blocks remote images in email messages.

Thunderbird also supports the Do Not Track option. This is associated with Search the Web, but can also be used in other requests for web pages enabled by add-ons.

Phishing Protection
Thunderbird protects you from email scams which try to trick users into handing over personal and confidential information by indicating when a message is a potential phishing attempt. As a second line of defense, Thunderbird warns you when you click on a link which appears to be taking you to a different Web site than the one indicated by the URL in the message.

Automated Update
Thunderbird’s update system checks to see if you’re running the latest version, and notifies you when a security update is available. These security updates are small (usually 200KB - 700KB), giving you only what you need and making the security update quick to download and install. The automated update system provides updates for Thunderbird on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux in over 40 different languages.

Cutting Out the Junk
Thunderbird’s popular junk mail tools have been updated to stay ahead of spam. Each email you receive passes through Thunderbird’s leading-edge junk mail filters. Each time you mark messages as spam, Thunderbird "learns" and improves its filtering so you can spend more time reading the mail that matters. Thunderbird can also use your mail provider’s spam filters to keep junk mail out of your inbox.
Open Source
At the heart of Thunderbird is an open source development process driven by thousands of passionate, experienced developers and security experts spread all over the world. Our openness and active community of experts helps to ensure our products are more secure and quickly updated, while also enabling us to take advantage of the best third party security scanning and evaluation tools to further bolster overall security.

Sonos 4 v6.6.10

Sonos 4 is a software real time multiband FM processor for broadcasters. With a suitable sound card it is possible to turn a Windows PC into a broadcast limiter. The processor achieves its loudness through the use of a unique distortion masked final clipper (a distortion cancelled clipper). The sound quality and loudness is close to industry standard Optimods and Omnias.

Sonos 4 introduction

Sonos 4 is a software real time multiband compressor limiter for radio broadcasters. With this software and a suitable sound card it is possible to turn a Windows PC into an radio broadcast processor. The processor achieves its loudness through the use of a unique distortion masked final clipper.

Computer requirements

Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.(Windows XP needs to be fully updated via Windows Update).
The CPU needs to be SSE/SSE2 capable. Most recent CPUs meet this requirement. To check for this capability download this program and run it. There are so many different CPUs the only way to check if yours is powerful enough is to download Sonos 4 and try it. As a guideline a dual core 2GHz CPU is recommended. The amount of memory is not critical.1-2GB is sufficient.
A 192kHz sample rate sound card is needed to use the built in stereo multiplex and RDS encoders. Use of a 'pro' sound card with balanced inputs and outputs is recommended  to minimize noise pick up. Some possible choices for a 192kHz sound card are the M-Audio Audiophile 192, ESI Juli@, EMU 0404 (PCI version).

If you need to interface Sonos 4 to other audio applications this can be achieved with Virtual Audio Cables.


General features

Sonos 4 interfaces to sound cards using either ASIO or the Windows native multimedia sound interface.If the ASIO interface is used then low latency mode can be used.Use of ASIO is dependent upon the sound card having ASIO drivers.Most 'Pro' sound cards support ASIO.Low latency mode enables off air monitoring while speaking just as hardware FM & AM processors do.

The application is password protected to prevent unauthorized tampering.

Sonos 4 can be automatically started when Windows boots.Additionally the application can be made to minimize to the 'Sys tray'.

Sonos 4 supports multiple instances.It is theoretically possible to have up to twenty processors but CPUs are not powerful enough yet to support all twenty processors.

The processors.

The processor is the central feature of Sonos 4. There are three different processors available mainly differing in the number of bands The nine band (MBL9) is the recommended choice but it may overload some computers so to reduce CPU load a processor with fewer bands can be selected. All four processors share common parts such as four stages of parametric equalization, stereo widener, stereo enhancer, phase rotator, filtering for FM and AM, switchable pre-emphasis for FM. The processor architecture is similar in each of the five processors. Dual band gated AGC is followed by a gated multiband limiter optionally preceded by a multiband compressor. Then optionally there is a dual band limiter.Single band gated limiting is applied before the final clipper. Pre-emphasis for FM is applied partially before the multiband section and partially after the final clipper. The processor settings are fully adjustable with easy to use saving and loading of preset files. There is a 'Daypart' scheduler to enable changes of preset (format) by time of day and day of the week. The processors have a 'Fail Over' or failsafe feature that switches the input to a backup should the main source fail. Finally the processor can be disabled to reduce CPU load.

The stereo multiplex, RDS encoders and SCA generator.

It is possible to drive FM transmitter MPX inputs directly from Sonos 4.It needs a 192kHz sound card with adequate bandwidth to pas the MPX signal. The stereo multiplex encoder has adjustable clipping for extra loudness. The pilot tone amplitude is adjustable. The RDS/RBDS encoder supports all the basic RDS features plus it has a scrolling 'Program Service Name' feature with multiple messages that can be set up as a rotation. In addition there is a means of showing current track information. The SCA generator supports frequencies from 20kHz to 90kHz and deviation from 1kHz to 10kHz.

The audio over IP function (STL).

The STL link uses Ogg/Vorbis encoding that achieves FM like quality at 64kBits/s. A normal ADSL broadband feed can be used to link to a remote site. The link can feed multiple sites limited only by the available bandwidth of the Internet connection.(The software has a limit of eight feeds).
The other use of the link is for outside broadcasts or feeds from remote studios. The link is low latency (adjustable)and bi-directional for such linking.
The STL uses a peer-to-peer method using UDP packets. There is a server-client method of establishing UDP peer-to-peer connections. This is an aid for sites that do not have a fixed IP address.
The STL link implements virtual RS232 Serial Data ports for remote control. The serial data link is bi-directional.

Internet streaming.

Sonos 4 has the ability to connect to Icecast & Shoutcast servers for Internet streaming. The software allows up to four connections. This enables the use of a low and a high bandwidth feeds.The supported encoding types are Ogg/Vorbis.,MP3 & AAC+. MP3 & AAC+ streaming need the Winamp plugins to be present. Additionally there is a means of displaying current track information.(This requires automation software to output the current track information to a file).

Logging recorder.

The software has a basic audio recorder that operates in three modes. The logging mode is an hour by hour recorder using Ogg/Vorbis encoding. There is a feature for retrieval by time and date of a log file. Additionally there are modes for continuous recording and timed recording.

Sound file player.

The player will play sound files (.wav,.ogg or mp3) without gaps. For broadcasters the main use will be as a backup source in the event of the main feed failing. The sound file player supports the use of a playlist that repeats in the event of a failure.(Win XP does not support playback of MP3 files).

Internet streaming player.

The player (Stream RX) supports the use of streaming as a method of linking. The software supports  multiple URLs with automatic reconnection should a stream fail. The player supports Ogg/Vorbis and MP3.(Win XP does not support playback of MP3 streams)

Other features.

There are other features that do not directly relate to broadcasting.

The sound input can decode MPX , RDS & SCA signals.

There is an 'Analyser' function for inspecting waveforms and spectra. There is a signal generator with features that are useful in analysis of audio software and hardware.
