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.

Eemphy replied to the thread AMD Hints the Next-Gen Xbox Console Could Launch Next Year.Not going to happen at that price. Maybe if a zero were added.

EWe’ve been using Chromebooks in our school for a while, and I agree that they’re much easier to manage than iPads once everything is set up properly. The Google Admin console gives you a lot of control, especially around restricting extensions...

Eemphy replied to the thread Chromebooks in school.Wasn't google carrying chrome to the graveyard? I distinctly remember reading somewhere that google's desktop os strategy was going to migrate to an android base.

EChromebooks in school aren't necessarily better. Kids are still staring at screens; they're just clicking trackpads instead of touching displays. I'd still like my child to stay away from computing devices until they're truly necessary for classwork.

Eemphy replied to the thread After Europe ditched Windows, China follows suit with its own home-grown Linux distros.I'll believe only when I see it. It is particularly bad in my home country. Europe developed age-verification? Google lock-in. School or university laptop? Microsoft or, in a rare case, apple. Payment using phone nfc chip? Google pay. 2fa for...

Eemphy replied to the thread After Europe ditched Windows, China follows suit with its own home-grown Linux distros.Bit bemused by claims of an entire continent doing something after a few organisations' actions. A bit like claiming the US's goverment is democrat now, on the basis of New York's mayor's affiliation. Ie: "Europe" ditched nothing, with most of...

Eemphy replied to the thread Nvidia and SoftBank pilot AI-RAN — world's first AI and 5G telecom network.Seems that you don't quite grasp the reality yet: a measly recession isn't going to hurt them in any significant way.

Eemphy replied to the thread Meta becomes latest firm to say its AI hacked another company.Meta becomes latest firm to confess hacking another company with "ai". When are people getting jailed for this manure?

Eemphy replied to the thread Microsoft is cracking down on Windows 11 bloatware ads, forces LG to pull McAfee popup.Doesn't really matter from the user perspective whose fault it is, does it? Whether it is nvidia's, linux's or the Mouth of Sauron's, all they see is a few hundred dollars worth of lower performance on linux.

Eemphy reacted to DukenukemX's post in the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller with
Like.
All the parts have warranty. The point is that me building a cheaper and better PC than the GabeCube should not be possible. Valve gets discounts and there's less parts in the GabeCube than the PC I listed. Either way, the GabeCube should be... -
Eemphy replied to the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller.Because the actual gaming is the bit one would *want* to spend time on? It is unfortunate, but digital autonomy is valued incredibly far below "convenience".

Eemphy replied to the thread QR Codes Make Their Way Down Wedding Aisles.Would rather not force people to handle their phones from the start of any gathering, thankyouverymuch.

Eemphy replied to the thread Will NPUs soon become useless silicon? — Windows 11’s Local AI is getting GPU support.Who the hell watches 360p video at 1Mbps (or any other bitrate)? Sloppers in action, I see.

Eemphy replied to the thread Microsoft’s Secure Boot has been broken for a decade and no one noticed until now.Secure boot's main premise of trusting microsoft to properly manage keys was broken from the start.

Eemphy replied to the thread XBOX lays off 1,600 - Resetting XBOX.Who would have guessed that charging, at release, ten bucks or less for the experience of a $60 single player game is bad business? Then they have the sheer gall to pretend their own strategic failure is due to "high cost".
-
Eemphy replied to the thread Upgraded from a 5950x to a 9850x3d.The question is whether that improvement was delivered by the cache or by moving to a single chiplet cpu. I am pretty certain that multiple chiplets are considered to be a bad idea™ for lows at any resolution.

Eemphy replied to the thread XBOX lays off 1,600 - Resetting XBOX.I would not be surprised if, after that whole operation, they ended up with *fifteen* management layers. Microsoft can out-bureaucrat the best.

Eemphy reacted to GoldenTiger's post in the thread Microsoft quietly extends free Windows 10 ESU support to October 2027 with Like.
I saw plenty of people for all of them over time. Heck, tons of people flamed xp for being "fisher price child colors" and claimed they'd never move from 98/2000. I saw no need for Win7 as vista was great by the time it rolled around, myself...

Eemphy replied to the thread Microsoft quietly extends free Windows 10 ESU support to October 2027.Unless my memory is playing games with me, no one claimed that for ME, Vista or 8 when XP, 7 and 10 came around, respectively.

Eemphy replied to the thread Playstation single player games will no longer be ported to PC.Perhaps a portion of ps owners chose that console over a pc precisely for that reason? Not to mention that sony regularly announces permanent deletion of entire digital libraries, despite the fact that content in question had been "purchased"...
