• 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.

    Cord-Cutters Hitting Satellite TV Hard

    After years of not doing it, I am finally getting ready to drop cable TV. Time Warner cable use to be ok, you just had to call them up every year when they decided to raise your bill. Now with Spectrum, if I want to change something, I am going to have to pay more for less due to having to move...

    25% Off Orders at FrozenCPU for President's Day

    Years ago while I was still very much active in the modding community and Mark was operating out of his apartment, I ordered some stuff from him and picked it up. I dont remember the exact conversation, but after a short talk about the community, i left his apartment never wanting to do business...

    Rogue IT Admin Goes Off The Rails And Shuts Down Train Switches

    Even before that, why did he have access while under suspension? Maybe you don't disable all his accounts, but at least have him turn in his hardware and disable any accounts that let him work remotely. This was a failure on so many levels.

    Domino's, Ford to Test Pizza Delivery via Driverless Cars

    Driverless cars provide Last Mile, someone will figure out how to automate the Last Foot. I think drones are the in thing, but honestly a combination of driverless car and then a smaller robot will be the solution.

    Domino's, Ford to Test Pizza Delivery via Driverless Cars

    This is what scares me the most about US politics. We really need to start working on ways to handle a county where most jobs are completed with very little human labor.

    ARK: Survival Evolved Faces An Unexpected Delay

    double? I think the two copies I purchased on Steam were $10 or $12. It is a buggy mess, but on the right server, it can be a fun buggy mess.

    The Best PC Games (You Should Be Playing)

    It nails the casual positive feedback loop. I purchased it because I am a sucker for small indie projects. I did enjoy it for a while, but it isn't really the type of game I normally play. The game is simply amazing especially when you consider everything was created by one guy. His love for...

    Hollywood Hospital Paid $17,000 Ransom To Hackers

    .. when it is a legitimate attack, systems have a way to just shut that down. The truth is that Security is an ever changing battle and the bad guys tend to win in the end. Traditional protections are not as effective as they use to be. Sure firewalls and Antivirus software might stop...

    Inexpensive ZFS or BTRFS build

    I agree with Dizzy as well. I do believe there is/was cases were you can mix ECC and non-ECC. However, doing so means you would be operating without ECC. There are also some cases where you can use ECC memory in a system but the memory controller does not support it so you don't get...

    Advice for NAS solution

    This is correct. with ZFS (which is what FreeNAS uses) you do not want your drives setup as a RAID on the controller. This is also a big reason why ECC memory is so important to FreeNAS. While you can get FreeNAS to work with a lot of hardware and configurations, that does not mean you should if...

    Microsoft Office 2016 PC/Mac for $9.95 (for Qualified School/Work Emails)

    Not all the Office 365 plans include office. I know the E3 plan includes 5 installations of office for each user. I don't actually tell my users they can install it at home, but they could. An administrator can also deactivate an install at will, so I would suggest asking if it acceptable first...

    SSD Benchmark (ATTO) weirdness

    It was a fresh laptop from Dell and outside of benchmarking the drive performance was good. I did a fresh install of the OS and the benchmarks look normal now.
