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.

    IBM Warns of Instant Breaking of Encryption by Quantum Computers

    If you just double the wait time between pwd tries (or even go more aggressive with t^n increased delays) you eliminate this "instant cracking" idea. The trouble is going to be blockchain because anyone is free to pound away at decrypting them.

    Stats Show How Rarely Game Campaigns Are Played

    FPS campaigns have sucked for years now which is why I no longer buy or play most of them. Over fifty with work, family, volunteer work, etc. means when I have time to game I don't want to deal with 12 year olds practicing their temper tantrums. I'll got SP 90% of the time so the modern FPS with...

    Latest MacOS Update Disables DisplayLink

    I've switched to running W10 on my iMac Pro and ponied up cash for new software. Apple only has UNIX and iMessage now and I can run Linux in Windows or as another bootcamp option. Just glad I'm switching before they updated macos to use that T2 chip to block bootcamp entirely. Pretty sure...

    Latest MacOS Update Disables DisplayLink

    10.13.4 also blocks eGPU over TB1/TB2 as well as all Nvidia GPUs. Intentionally. As in they worked before, no longer do and the kernel panics point to a new OS component called GPUwrangler.

    Latest macOS Adds External GPU Support

    The problem you cite affected laptops. I had zero issues getting bootcamp running with both AMD and Nvidia drivers simultaneously with apps correctly identifying which GPU they were using. But the truth is this is Apple so my bad as they're on board with knowing more about my needs than I do.

    Latest macOS Adds External GPU Support

    I realize HardOCP has few macos members, but figured this warning is still worth posting: Macos 10.13.4 breaks Nvidia eGPUs. More than 80% of reported macos eGPU builds on egpu.io are dorked by upgrading from the perfectly functional 10.13.3 to 10.13.4. AMD builds are unaffected. Boo hiss...

    Latest macOS Adds External GPU Support

    Is this a change since 10.13.3? Or does it only work with external displays connected to the egpu? I'm reluctant to update to 10.13.4 for fear it breaks something.

    Latest macOS Adds External GPU Support

    Fortunately Nvidia releases macos drivers in spite of Apple and bootcamp is just windows, though there are some tricks to getting the latest Apple hardware to boot from an external drive.

    Latest macOS Adds External GPU Support

    I set up an iMac Pro + Akitio Node Pro + 1080ti + BenQ 32" monitor. Macos performance is decent enough with nvidia's web drivers, but it's way better booting to Windows 10 where it doesn't correctly ID the 1080ti over TB3 so things like Oculus tell you your system can't hang, but if course it...

    Microsoft Receives Patent to Protect the Headphone Jack

    LG V30 > Pixel 2 XL strictly because of headphone jack. Just return it for another if you get one with a splotchy screen.

    Portuguese ISP Shows Us What the Net Looks like without Net Neutrality

    This is so cool! Now I can just add the websites I want and not have to worry about searching for new ones. Plus, my ISP can make kick-backs from the sites it does offer so it can get paid two ways for the same thing.

    Benchmarks Contradict “Apple Slowed Down My iPhone” Claims

    My 6S+ is fine within apps in iOS 11 but laggy as hell switching between apps and even swiping between home screen pages. I'll try a factory reset and wipe when time allows but after that I'll go LG V30 or Pixel 2XL.
