  • DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License
    Guest:
    If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.

    Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

So this is something I have always wanted to do some day, and looked into it a few years ago after having a brain MRI (Healthwise I am fine), but it was a lengthy process, I always ran into problems for one reason or another, and the privacy of some of the tools various online tutorials suggested used was questionable. Then I ran across a Reddit post and found Brain2Print.org which made things much faster and easier to produce an STL file that looked good. Even better is that it's all done in the browser using web assembly, no data is sent to a 3rd party server for processing etc. It looks like it was an academic project and they got a paper published in Nature telling more about how it does what it does. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-00014-5

Below is my result after 18 hours of printing on a Bambu Labs A1 in PLA.

A nifty idea if you do happen to have had such a scan and can get the files from the health service. Not sure I'd choose to have an MRI just to do this though :)

Yes I don't think many places would be ok with giving an MRI for the fun of it. Reddit was talking about how you can often find researchers looking to give free scans for people though if you are in a university town. I always make sure to get a copy of any MRI and CT Scans for future reference and personal use.
