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.

cheapest 9070xt on amazon is $750. That's only up about $20 from a couple weeks ago. If you are buying a card before the end of next year... well... I wouldn't be worrying about a mythical $50 discount on black friday. Get a card now. -

One semester I was lured to a "college prep" high school with promises of 98% acceptance rates to 4 year colleges, and they wanted a college level physics course to help pad those CVs... this wasnt even calculus based it was a conceptual level...

One more grad inflation related story. I went back to grad school after working in aerospace for three years, so I was not a typical grad student that went from undergrad into grad. I went back to the same school and had a GTA. My supervisor...

I SO like this. Some of this may be a bit off topic, but thinking about this has resurface some good college memories. Easy A's versus hard fought B's: Thermodynamics for me was an easy A with almost no effort. Prof eval at the time: This guy...

GGigantopithecus replied to the thread AI is exacerbating the trend of colleges handing out too many A's, Axios' Josephine Walker reports..I can't emphasize enough how important it is to push people in educational setting. AI has good uses in education but AI will never tell you that you're fucking up and need to work smarter and harder. Failing a lab-based course as an undergrad...

GGigantopithecus replied to the thread AI is exacerbating the trend of colleges handing out too many A's, Axios' Josephine Walker reports..Right. I'm fortunate to be a professor in a field that is very much lab-based, human anatomy. My undergrads are not allowed to use devices at all in lab given we work with donated anatomical remains (i.e., cadavers), and for my graduate and...

Education is big business and students (and most importantly, paying parents) are the customer. The institution is giving the customer what they want, and that's the long and short of it. It's why we're having grade inflation. University...

No way I'm letting just the PCI-E slot carry the weight of my 5090. A $5 piece of metal can save a whole lotta heartache.

I'm personally sick and tired of "launchers" in general. Absolutely pointless software that I want nothing to do with. If I own a game on a platform, just open it when I click it, don't send me into another piece of software where I have to...

I've always kept my smart devices on an IoT guest network that can't see other devices, but I guess I need to lock them down further.

I accept it as being something you can't really fully get rid of...I disable all the camera features on my Sony A95L, never use WiFI (only hard wired Ethernet) and disable as much of the spying in the TV settings but I know it's not going to...

Oh, that's just an optional feature for those who don't like the reflective coating on this one. Grab the tab on that corner and pull, and voila...no more glossy panel.
