• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    How the ef do I turn off password at windows 11 pro login?

    This is probably not going to be helpful.... chntpw. Haven't used it in awhile. If you follow this line of thinking do your research. A few years ago I had an aunt that was driving me nuts calling me every couple weeks cause she forgot her windows password. I would even write it down, she...

    XLibre Linux Distro?

    I guess they didn't hit their quote of rainbow sporting devs. That seems enough to be called a nazi project these days.

    XLibre Linux Distro?

    The main issue as I understand it is xlibre breaks a ton of stuff. A ton of stuff that developers are simply NOT going to fix for xlibre. X is Dead. People need to move on frankly. Too many projects are simply not going to bother fixing bugs for Xlibre. I get some people want to continue X...

    Linux distroes thar use XLibre?

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XLibre If you want to go that way I would just go with arch proper. Install X or Xlibre if you don't want wayland. So far the only distro I have heard of using is Artix. Though I believe they backed that up to Xorg as their are still a lot of issues switching...

    Creative Launches Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe Sound Card

    Sound still has to be converted from digital to analog. It doesn't matter how fast your CPU is, at some point in the chain their is a DAC that is converting that audio signal into a analog one that can be sent to a speaker. Cheap sound cards on a chip or on a MOBO or built into a pair of...

    Amazon Prime Day Deals 2026

    I loved the G500. I kick myself on those. I don't think they dropped as low. I saw them hit 40 bucks and thought I should grab a couple and by the time I decided too they were no more.

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    I am not convinced AMD screwed them over, as this was all basically ewaste parts. I think Valve valved themselves on this one. Valve has a history of holding things till its right. (or as close to as they think its going to get) If Valve had put this out a couple years ago, they could have hit...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Valve has always played nice with the open source world. Nothing they do is hidden. All the they might turn evil arguments don't really track. Valve could have went closed source to ship proper HDMI they didn't. They pressured the forum to stop being ass hats instead. The upcoming frame. They...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    The catch is supply. We can source better parts from companies that have a handful of said part on the market. And if you look in a month those parts won't be around anymore, you'll have to find another. Valve needs the same parts on a schedule. In a normal market that would be a good thing...

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Don't think its going to be much of an issue. Right now there are a bunch of game publishers scrambling to dumb down games. Game devs are going to get destroyed in the next few years. The majority of their sales base is going to be riding 7+ year old PCs.

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    Ya pretty much fuck this AI BS. PC is basically done until something changes. Ram and storage prices have clearly ended the PC. I guess check back in a year after the data centers burn... or at least we can argue about how good a deal that timeshare PC subscription is. :) lol

    Google’s new CAPTCHA asks users to wave hand at camera, users fear privacy trade-off

    No no no. There is a no camera option. If you click it. It simply requires you to scan a copy of your birth certificate. Don't have a scanner? That's ok the third option is fine. You can call their call center in Calcutta, and give a Google employee your birth date and mothers maiden name.

    Most not all. You can also disable it globally and engage it via launch options for games it makes sense for.

    Is Microsoft Fixing Windows 11 or Making It Worse?

    Nothings perfect. Of course. Apple has lots of issues. I know from experience though non techy people that swap to Mac stop having nearly as many just stupid issues. Sure though things can break or be broken on any system.
