Additional info for the lazy: the name of the company is "Gravy Analytics", hence the name "Gravy Scanner" for this app. It's a large data broker, and they don't bother with pesky little details like "informed consent".

Anyway, they got hacked a month ago, and the hackers threatened to publicly release all the data.

Most likely, that means you're clean. On mine, the output is just a white screen with a list of the affected apps... Clicking on one of them takes me to that app's settings.

It does that one thing, with no explanations or instructions, so it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it doesn't show a message to indicate that nothing was found.

I've been using Reaper daily for 15 years. If you run into any issues that you can't figure out, feel free to reach out, I'm happy to answer questions.

Is it? I just installed the Accrescent app store, and don't see it listed. It has 16 apps listed, including Accrescent itself.

Requirements:

About 300GB clear disk space for the entire planet. Probably an SSD unless you like pain, suffering and watching the slow creep of old age...

Lol, no kidding!

It's imperative I get it in their original unedited sound file form and in MP3 as .wav is too big and .ogg could crash certain programs like Vegas Pro.

I always hate it when somebody asks for help on a site like StackOverflow, and some smartass pipes up with "Why are you even trying that, why don't you try ___ instead?"

I don't want to be that guy. But I am very, very curious about why it is so imperative that you obtain the actual original audio files. Why would similar sounds not suffice?

For context, I am an audio editor / producer / sound designer / Foley artist, and I've run into that same problem, of old sound libraries not existing anymore, and have had to find, or create, my own alternatives. So I do know the struggle, but I don't know your particular situation.

For what it's worth: I counted about 85 or 86 "clicks" in 10 seconds. It's a loud click followed by a quieter click, like as if it's oscillating towards and away from you. The sound of the click itself is loudest at about 2.6 khz - whether that is simply the sound of friction, or some sort of electrical phenomenon, I don't know.

The fuzzy area at the bottom half of the spectrogram is the dull roar of distant wind. The clicks themselves show up as spikes, and the intense colors on the right are from where the voice starts speaking. The dark band above 10K is just the data lost from audio compression.

I can't imagine why they changed the name... (/s)

Looks like it should be available in the US in mid- to late 2024.

Law enforcement seized 32 phones, 48 laptops and hard discs, and 33 SIM cards and froze several bank accounts amid the raid of the 76 locations, according to CBI.

So... After raiding 76 locations, they only got 32 phones? Like... they only found one phone in every two places that they raided? And they only got 48 laptops? Those are the kind of numbers that I would expect for one single location.

It kind of sounds like 75 of the locations were tipped off by corrupt local officials in advance.
