• 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.

    Don't buy from EnforcerGT

    Didn't use a credit card, and yes I have learned my lesson about being too trusting and not using more payment protection. The email address he provided for PayPal was -email removed-. PayPal listed his name as "-name removed-" and Googling that gave me this thread: link removed There are...

    Don't buy from EnforcerGT

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro from EnforcerGT in this thread. I checked out his history and Heat and thought I could trust him. I even had him PM a picture of the unit with his user ID in the pic. Unfortunately, I sent him a PayPal payment through the Personal section instead of as a Purchase...

    Data backup w/ drobo?

    To address security concerns, I use TrueCrypt to create an encrypted disk (as a file) that I store secure information in. Then I backup the TrueCrypt file with carbonite. drobo looks cool, but $300 is 5 years of carbonite.

    Data backup w/ drobo?

    The drobo looks cool, but why are you opposed to online? Kills two birds with one stone - backed up and offsite. I love carbonite.com.

    IPS vs TN

    Not all look bad. I have a Samsung T260HD (26" 1920x1200) and I think it looks great. I only use it head on and I have an IPS panel off to the side as a second monitor. I got it for less than $300 and I think the money I saved over a 26" IPS was worth it. There are decent TN panels and crap ones...

    A friendy tip regarding power bills

    I'm not sure what OP meant by estimated billing, but our power company offers a deal where they take your previous payments and average them so your bills stay relatively the same each month. They estimate an amount monthly and then true you up at the end of the year. For new service or major...

    BYOC: Company Gives Workers Unusual Laptop Leeway

    You guys are missing the point. You would like working in our help desk under this program, because you would get to say "sorry, you joined the BYOC program. I can't help you with your hardware." If the employee can't take that, then they can opt back out and get a standardized, corporate...

    BYOC: Company Gives Workers Unusual Laptop Leeway

    That is the point - you don't manage it anymore. The person who bought it (and the company they bought it from) manage it. If they can't handle that then they are not allowed to sign up. If I call our help desk now they will not help me with my hardware. If the hardware fails I have to call...

    BYOC: Company Gives Workers Unusual Laptop Leeway

    I work for Citrix and am one of the 200 or so employees who has signed up. I think this program is great. When you opt-in you return your corporate laptop and get $2100 (yes, that is taxed at your income level.) Every 3 years you get that $2100 again. What you do with that $2100 is totally up...
