SCAM alarm! Don’t accept this item!

An object named “ReviveSL TP to events HUD v. 1.2.1 “is offered by a username created yesterday revivebot7. This is SCAM, so I invite you to do two things:

  1. reject the object;
  2. lock the owner.

To stop being bothered, it may be useful to block all these users created yesterday and presumably connected to this SCAM attempt:

CasperTech was acquired by Linden Lab

I just received this communication from CasperTech as their customer. From what we read, CaspeTech with all its sales, rental, etc. transferred ownership to Linden Lab. The transfer of ownership also involves the transfer to Linden Lab of your personal data related to the purchases you made with the well-known company during these 13 years of activity in Second Life.
Here is the communication:

“Dear Oema Resident,

You are receiving this communication because you are a registered user of CasperTech services related to Second Life (CasperVend, CasperLet, or CasperSafe). We don’t communicate like this very often, but we have some really exciting news to share!

CasperTech has provided various business-related services within Second Life for 13 years. Over that time, we have been proud to provide continuous service for tens of thousands of Second Life businesses, and have remained steadfast to our commitment to the merchants who depend on us.

Today we announce the next step in our journey. We are delighted to share that the Second Life portion of CasperTech is being acquired by Linden Research, Inc.

Not only will this move ensure that all of our services will continue to operate without interruption into the foreseeable future, but it also opens up brand new opportunities to vastly improve the experience for our users.

You can expect to see the same great services that you know and love continue on, but with closer integration into the Second Life ecosystem – and as such, an even more reliable and convenient experience.

As part of this process, the entity that controls your data (the “data controller”) will change from CasperTech Ltd, a United Kingdom-based company, to Linden Research, Inc, a company based in the United States.  This means that the data we hold about you, and on your behalf, will transfer ownership and jurisdiction.

You have the right to object to your data being transferred to Linden Research, Inc, by requesting the deletion of your data prior to this transfer instead, if you wish. You can view information on the data that we hold on your behalf, and request deletion, using our GDPR tool: https://gdpr.casperdns.com. If you have difficulty with this tool for any reason, please email gdpr-legal@caspertech.co.uk with your request. In order to take effect before the transfer, deletion requests must be activated by 5pm UK time on Monday, 19th of September. Otherwise, your data will be transferred to Linden Research, Inc, although you can still request that your data is deleted by them afterwards.

Information about how Linden Research, Inc protects personal data can be found at https://www.lindenlab.com/privacy.

We hope that you are as excited about this change as we are, and we thank you for your continued support as we all step boldly into the future together!

Sincerely Yours,

Casper Warden and the CasperTech Team”

The new Firestorm Viewer update: better performance and other significant news

The new update of Firestorm Viewer (release 6.6.3.67470 ) has introduced some significant changes that I talk about in this short post.

The first novelty is a marked improvement in graphics performance. In fact, immediately after installation, you may see a message warning you that your graphics settings have changed. However, this should not cause concern: your settings are modified by the viewer because Firestorm can now offer you better graphics performance with the same hardware. However, if it seems to you that the settings are risky for your PC, my advice is to uncheck the item “Ambient Occlusion” and, if that were not enough, the item “lights and shadows“. Instead, I would not uncheck the item “Advanced Lighting “, as it is an important setting to enjoy the beauty of the Second Life platform.

If, on the other hand, instead of seeing an increase in your FPS it seems to you that there is a decrease, in this case the reason could be in the VSync entry .

VSync

Enabling this item means that the FPS are kept constantly in line with the monitor’s FPS. By removing this tick, the FPS should therefore return to high. More specifically, directly from the Firestorm Viewer website, we read: “Enable VSync: synchronizes the frame rate of the viewer image with the monitor refresh rate. Helps to avoid screen tearing. “Put simply, it offers a stable experience, thanks to the synchronization of the FPS of the viewer with the refresh rate of the monitor. If you don’t know what FPS are, they are frames per second or images per second: it indicates the number of frames per second displayed in a video file. The higher this number, the smoother the movie.

Another important change concerns the organization of the inventory folders. With the new version, two new possibilities have been introduced:

  • The creation of a new folder starts from the selection of some items present in the inventory. For example, I want some elements to be all part of a new folder: now I can select them all (select the first, then SHIFT and select the last) and right-click and then click on the item “create folder from selected “. At this point, I just need to give a name to the folder just created to have all the items previously selected in a single folder.
  • Removing a subfolder: by clicking on a subfolder with the right mouse button and then on “ungroup folder items “, all the objects in that subfolder will be moved to the folder and the subfolder will be deleted.

Il nuovo aggiornamento di Firestorm Viewer: prestazioni migliori e altre novità significative

Il nuovo aggiornamento di Firestorm Viewer (la release 6.6.3.67470) ha introdotto delle novità significative di cui parlo in questo breve video.

La prima novità è un netto miglioramento delle prestazioni grafiche. Infatti, subito dopo l’installazione, potresti vedere un messaggio che ti avvisa che le tue impostazioni grafiche sono cambiate. Questo non deve destare preoccupazione: il motivo per cui i tuoi settaggi sono modificati dallo stesso viewer è perchè ora Firestorm è in grado di offrirti prestazioni grafiche migliori a parità di hardware.
Tuttavia, se ti sembra che i settaggi siano azzardati per il tuo pc, il mio consiglio è di togliere la spunta alla voce “Occlusione Ambientale” e, qualora non bastasse, alla voce “luci e ombre“. Non toglierei invece la spunta alla voce “Illuminazione Avanzata“, in quanto si tratta di un settaggio importante per godersi la bellezza della piattaforma di Second Life.

Se, al contrario, anziché vedere un aumento dei tuoi FPS ti sembra che ci sia una diminuzione, in questo caso la ragione potrebbe trovarsi nella voce VSync.

L’attivazione di questa voce comporta che gli FPS vengono mantenuti in modo costante in linea con gli FPS del monitor. Togliendo questa spunta, gli FPS dovrebbero quindi tornare alti. Più nello specifico, direttamente dal sito di Firestorm Viewer si legge: “Abilita VSync: sincronizza la frequenza fotogrammi dell’immagine del visualizzatore con la frequenza di aggiornamento del monitor. Aiuta a evitare lo strappo dello schermo.” In parole povere, offre un’esperienza stabile, proprio grazie alla sincronizzazione degli FPS del viewer con la frequenza di aggiornamento del monitor. Se non sai cosa sono gli FPS, essi sono i frames per second, ovvero immagini al secondo: indica la quantità di fotogrammi per secondo visualizzati in un file video. Maggiore è tale numero più il filmato è fluido.

Un’altra importante novità riguarda l’organizzazione delle cartelle dell’inventario. Con la nuova versione sono state introdotte due nuove possibilità:

  • La creazione di una nuova cartella a partire dalla selezione di alcuni elementi presenti nell’inventario. Ad esempio, desidero che alcuni elementi siano tutti parte di una nuova cartella: ora posso selezionarli tutti (seleziona il primo, poi tasto SHIFT e seleziona l’ultimo) e cliccare col tasto destro del mouse per poi cliccare sulla voce “create folder from selected“. A questo punto, mi basterà dare un nome alla cartella appena creata per avere tutti gli items precedentemente selezionati in un’unica cartella.
  • La rimozione di una sottocartella: cliccando su una sottocartella col tasto destro del mouse e poi su “ungroup folder items“, tutti gli oggetti presenti in quella sottocartella verranno spostati nella cartella e la sottocartella sarà eliminata.
