• 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.

    Prevent torrent traffic if VPN drops?

    I love threads like this, for this exact reason. 'My traffic goes through an anonymous paid for VPN service, so my privacy is protected...' - This isn't true, in fact it is quite the opposite, you are pushing all your data through a single endpoint, manned by people you have no knowledge of...

    Problems with Windows 8 Pro laptop --> Win 2k8 R2 DC domain+forest functional level

    There is no chance this will work. The OEM installer disks utilise three elements to validate a OEM activation: 1) OEM Specific Certificate 2) OEM Specific Key 3) Bios SLIC Marker (version 2.1 for Windows 7) The OEM disk from Lenovo will contain the top two and automatically insert...

    Microsoft To Acquire Nokia’s Devices & Services Business

    Since they already had Nokia in their back pocket, why not buy RIM instead? - Then you take out a competitor, get plenty of patents and have the brand name...

    Microsoft's First Windows 8 TV Spot: Love It or 8 It

    Awful advert, really just awful - and I am a very irritating twenty something hipster with a reasonable amount of disposable income (also known as an ABC1). I have no issue with them trying to be flash and show off all the best features but like others have said, it shows nothing unique over...

    Hardware Solution for Hiding My IP - In Plain English Please!

    Wrong, the endpoint sees a shared IP, the VPN service provider itself can track everything...$40 a year does not buy anonymity it just shifts who can track you. Clearly you only read a small amount of this thread. The OP's question was far more broadranging than what does a router with VPN...

    Hardware Solution for Hiding My IP - In Plain English Please!

    Again I think you are missing the point, a VPN router will give you the ability to connect to a monthly paid VPN server somewhere else. This will then route all trafic through the VPN, essentially encrypting it from your ISP's eyes.- HOWEVER the paid VPN provider will still be able to see...

    Hardware Solution for Hiding My IP - In Plain English Please!

    Where are you tunnelling the VPN router too? Are you planning on paying for a VPN service? - I think you have completly missed the point of all the previous posters. This! I fear that you have heard VPN or TOR somewhere and think its some magic answer to your question, it isnt. There are...

    12th Generation Dell Servers

    That is a stupid whitepaper indeed, tries to imply that Dell has some involvement in the Manufacture - we all know they are just OEM drives with Dell Fimware, admittely they always pick enterprise grade drives. In relation to the original question, I have some Dell T710's (with the rackmount...

    Facebook Advertisers to Use Phone, User ID, e-Mail for Ads

    This! I have been on since you needed a .ac.uk address over here in the UK so likely not long after you, also fast approaching 30 and everything you have said is correct. For me facebook is over, I keep my account up but rarely bother logging in which is a real shame as the premise was...

    Where in the World Is Internet Explorer 10?

    I know everyone seems to bash IE, but for corporations its use is pretty widespread so it being kept up to date is important. I wouldnt be suprised if MS silently tried to drop support but not for IE10 - that will just be slow, but there is no chance for IE11 when it comes round.

    Network pics thread

    You are thinking of a 220S - they are old tech/SCSI. MD1000's are SAS/SATAII (3gb) and nice units.

    HDD prices rising

    Yeah it was meant it in a jokey way, forgot to put the smiley but the professor bit sort of implied it. On a side note, over here in the UK drives are slowly reducing in price, there does seem to be a premium on the high end consumer drives that isnt falling as fast as other segments of the...

    HDD prices rising

    So professor, when demand outstrips supply the price goes....down? Your logic is semi-sound, however the reality wouldnt quite bear it out. The reason any manufacturer (in any industry) would allow itself to be screwed to the ground by any one customer would two fold, firstly to gain the...

    Hewlett-Packard to End Mobile Businesses

    High End RISC stuff does well because for the last 30 years large financial houses have built their infrastructure around it, no way they are going to change that now. For IBM though their software and service purchases over the years turned them away from the consumer and solely into the...

    Brands - Who Do You Use At Work?

    Was just reading the 'Whitelists' thread over in General Hardware and someone mentioned it was unfair to base it on such a small sample, and I agree so figured I would start a slightly different thread over here specific to business related brands and to generate a mini database of opinions...
