News : ... about my hacked system by provider.

I still haven't managed to block the hacking attacks that the provider is making, it's installed quite well and is happily learning about being a hacker and incompetent, filling in files and blocking them... you'd better watch TV - if it doesn't burn it through coaxial, everything works here...

Here are the steps to delete a file and a folder that is blocking my Active Presenter software from making movies...

Run Process Explorer as Administrator so it can access all open handles, then press Ctrl + F to open the Find Handle or DLL search window, and search for the folder or file name by typing something like Untitled1_tempdir, video_20260104_21-02-22.mp4

See this tool

The folder is locked by an NTFS kernel‑level lock.
There is no doubt anymore.
It’s not a process.
It’s not an attribute.
It’s not an ACL.
It’s not the antivirus.
It’s not Explorer.
It’s not Windows Search.
It’s not ffmpeg.
It’s not ActivePresenter.

It’s a kernel handle that keeps the folder “alive” even though it’s empty.

This happens EXACTLY when a program (ActivePresenter) crashes while writing to the folder.
Windows is left with an internal lock on that directory, and any delete command is rejected.

And now comes the important part:

🔥 There is NO command in CMD or PowerShell that can break a kernel lock.
None.
Zero.
No matter how much you try, the result will always be the same: “Access is denied.”

News : Ultrahuman build GATT with Android Studio under one hour.

Ultrahuman is a consumer health-tech startup that provides daily well-being insights to users based on biometric data from the company’s wearables, like the RING Air and the M1 Live Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). The Ultrahuman team leaned on Gemini in Android Studio's contextually aware tools to streamline and accelerate their development process.

GATT is an acronym for the Generic ATTribute Profile, and it defines the way that two Bluetooth Low Energy devices transfer data back and forth using concepts called Services and Characteristics. It makes use of a generic data protocol called the Attribute Protocol (ATT), which is used to store Services, Characteristics and related data in a simple lookup table using 16-bit IDs for each entry in the table.

NOTE: Quite impressively, I managed to create a basic default app with bluetooth when there was no artificial intelligence and with complicated Android Studio settings in almost a day. Obviously the most complicated were the settings, I will test if they are as complicated in the future if I need to.
