• 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.

Good idea, but not Op. disks again.

I have about a dozen optical drives, mostly for backup purposes. Only 3-4 in active duty at a time. I use them for music CD ripping. And many of my optical drives are close to 10 years old now. It’s getting harder and harder to source drives, media and supplies. I buy jewel cases and poly sleeves 100 at a time now because I never know when they will go away. CCD scanners are the preferred type of scanner for album artwork and pre-COVID you could get an an entry level Epson V600 at Best Buy for $180. Now no one is making low to mid level CCD scanners anymore and new old stock V600’s are being listed for $600-$1000. Because there is nothing comparable to it below that price.

Things are going to change in the next 10 years, and I don’t think anyone can predict what that change will be. But the pendulum is gonna swing one way or another. Piracy is starting to see a rise across the media landscape.
