• 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.

    WTTF: 8GB SODIMM DDR3L-1600 one stick

    The DDR3 is for a old Lenovo U310 consumer laptop, so I'm sure it won't support ECC.

    Intel resumes free coffee and tea for its employees — $100-million-per-year program partly reinstated to boost employee morale

    $100 million is hard to believe but if only 50,000 employees drink, at maybe $5 per day, and they work 262 days a year, that is $65,500,000 already.

    WTT: Quake 3 Arena CD with key on case

    I don't really play Quake anymore, and looking to see if anyone wants this. This is the original Quake3 Arena CD without patch 1.32 but CD is in near perfect condition and key sticker is on the case. Don't have Paypal anymore, so looking for a trade, maybe a spare 128GB SATA SSD anyone might...

    Pharma CIO cancels AI enhanced office 365 deal as "it doesn't add value"

    Let Microsoft keep increasing prices, the businesses will realize they can do without them and switch to a cheaper alternative. Maybe a new office suite can become the new standard.

    New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

    I think we should all be concerned when most OEMs switch to ARM because you won't be able to just buy a windows computer, wipe it and install Linux on it. Just like Android phones, the boot loaders need to be unlocked and there has to be a compatible Linux ARM image for you to install...

    1Password announces breach

    KeePassXC, just remember that one master password and have many copies of the .kdbx file. I have even abandoned Authy, and just use the TOTP functions in KeePassXC. Only an all drive disaster or memory lapse on my part will breach my passwords.

    Microsoft cancels "new" console

    So it would have been another Google Stadia, which failed. Did they expect anything different?

    Looking for tight budget friendly single thread performance bump over my old Core i5-3320

    Dell Refurb site just had a 40% off sale on anything that ended on Monday. They usually run sales on holidays like MLK, 4th of July. All of those laptops are way overpriced unless they are running a sale.

    Looking for tight budget friendly single thread performance bump over my old Core i5-3320

    Best bang for your buck would be a Dell Refurbished or outlet laptop. I bought a Dell Vostro 3350 with i5 2450m back in 2012 that has a 1275 single thread score. Last year I bought a Latitude e5470 with i5 6440hq with single core score of 2018.

    Flash Thumbdrive with Performance Rivaling SSD?

    I bought three straight disappointing flash drives. The Samsung Bar 32 and 64GB, at the same time, and the Gorilla USB3 64GB. All three have good read speeds of 150MBs or so but the write speeds are pathetic at 18-25 MB/s plus all three have an annoying pausing every couple of seconds while...

    What's a computer?

    A story about the dumbing down of the world. Young people can't even use a computer and know anything about file folders and where to save things. We might as well have AI and robots just build the turbines for the jet engines. The problem is who will be smart enough to program the AI until...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    I just remembered that Google acquired Neverware which makes CloudReadyOS, the Google Chrome alternative. I bet Google will launch an ad campaign and tell people with systems that don't support Win11 to switch over to ChromeOS that can be installed on any computer. This might do well since...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    Does anyone know if MS is going to put Bitlocker on Win 11 Home by default? I think they want the TPM 2.0 thing for Spectre/Meltdown protection, as well as disk encryption, just like Apple does with the T2 chip. MS doesn't control the hardware, so they need to put a certain condition on...
