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.

Google's DeepMind has already produced systems that can beat the world's best Go players, as well as systems that can compete with humans in Starcraft II. But according to IEEE Spectrum, DeepMind's AlphaZero system is in a league of its own. AlphaZero can allegedly "crack any game that provides...
The Google AI Blog has an article explaining how Pixel 3 smartphones predict depth in Portrait Mode with Machine Learning algorithms. The Portrait Mode feature in Pixel 3 smartphones creates a depth-dependent blur of the background to draw attention to the subject. By using TensorFlow, Google...
TechXplore reports that researchers are investigating the use of machine learning algorithms to create digital representations of the deceased. The study focused on an existing service called Replika, which is designed to create chatbots that mimic the personalities of the people they're...
The use of body cameras on police officers is a controversial issue, but the technology behind the actual cameras doesn't get much press coverage. As in turns out, the leading maker of of police body cams, Axon Enterprise, has a lot in common with social media platforms and other businesses that...
Google has created new, exciting patents to eavesdrop on your home environment. One patent will scan your home and identify items in your home. So if you have a shirt from a favorite artist in your closet, it will recommend tickets to see them live. It can scan your closet to learn your taste in...
Traditional chips that you're probably using to read this article now work with binary data, and they typically separate the processor from the main memory pool. But, in an effort to curb increasingly slow jumps in processors performance, Researchers at Princeton University have come out with a...
As one of the first announcements at their artificial intelligence conference in Beijing, Intel unveiled the Neural Compute Stick 2. Like its predecessor, the USB stick can accelerate AI workloads while drawing all the power it needs from a USB 3.0 plug. The new version of the stick uses the...
GPUs are already being deployed to track people outside of Teslas and on the streets, but apparently, the algorithms those GPUs run are limited to relatively low resolutions of about 608x608 pixels. To keep up with improving camera technology, researchers have come up with a new algorithm that...
