TVwazhere got a reaction from PowerPCFan in What are the Best Budget Monitor Arms?
This is a bit over budget at $125, but this is what I have at work:
https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Monitor-Adjustable-Displays-MI-2753/dp/B06X9D7JWP
Currently holding a 27" 4k monitor in the middle and two 22-23" 1080P monitors on either side. Has a wide range of height adjustments (good for me because I sit tall at my desk) Highly recommend

TVwazhere got a reaction from DededeKirby in Data Breaches Arent a Joke - AT&T and the 73 million user data leak
Summary
-This is Not an April Fools Joke-
AT&T, one of the Big Three Cellular Network providers as well as internet to millions of Americans, announced that a dark web database was released containing 7.3M active AT&T users and 65M inactive users. Most concerning is the leak of Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
Quotes
My thoughts
First AT&T had the major service outage, and now a massive breach of personal data. While the data is speculated to be from 2021, it is unknown how far back the data extends, so customers who switched form AT&T back in 2018 (Hi, hello, its me) could still be affected. Admittedly I was part of a family plan so my SSN should be safe(r).
As a reminder, using both a 2FA app like Google Authenticator as well as a Password manager are some of the best ways you can protect yourself in the digital world we now live in, which feels almost inevitable that our data will be at some point compromised.

TVwazhere got a reaction from paddy-stone in dog thread
Who are we to tell dogs that they're incorrectly using their bed?
Body and head fully in donut shape? Correct.
Rest only the head on the edge? Correct?
Laying right next to it barely touching it? Also correct.

TVwazhere reacted to Paul Rudd in Content Warning FREE on Steam April 1st
Content Warning is FREE right now on Steam. 97% Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.
Free to keep when you get it before Apr 2 @ 12:00pm.
This game has the same Swedish publisher of Clustertruck, Stick Fight The Game, Totally Accurate Battlegrounds and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. Surprisingly they also have two games called Landfall Archives and Air Brawl that just so happen to be FREE.
P.S. You may or may not remember this post from approximately 2 years ago on April 1st, 2022...
Knightfall A Daring Journey also has the same exact publisher as all the games I just mentioned. So this could mean that Clustertruck, Stick Fight The Game, Square Brawl or ROUNDS could eventually be given out for free too since Totally Accurate Battle Simulator was also given out on Christmas Day of 2019 on the Epic Games store.

TVwazhere reacted to Spotty in Data Breaches Arent a Joke - AT&T and the 73 million user data leak
Oof. At least they encrypted it, I guess?
Also looks like - for the birth dates at least - the encrypted data wasn't salted. The dataset has birth dates in an encrypted state. It includes a separate file (rainbow table) for birthdays which just includes every possible birth date combination and its encrypted value. It's possible to compare the encrypted value from the dataset to the table of birth dates to get the true value.
I'm actually surprised that birth dates were encrypted at all.
2021 was when an attempt was made to sell data stolen from AT&T. Apparently this data has been confirmed by AT&T to be from 2019 and include data on current and former customers from 2019 and prior.
If it was 2019 then the attacker would have generated every possible birth date combination since 1900 (1900 - 2019 = 119 years).
I wonder if that is also the same for the SSNs, since that also includes a separate table for decrypting the values. If SSNs weren't salted and they had the encryption key they could have just generated a table of every possible social security number and their encrypted value.

Willie has gone from ~20lbs to 75 in three months, but I still cannot resist holding him.
The next photos are from late January.
Here he is right after I got him, early Jan.

TVwazhere reacted to RollinLower in Folding Community Board
It took a while, but my F@H box is finally operational again!
Tally of stuff i had to replace:
- CPU (7742 died, currently back using the 7552)
- Motherboard (asrock ROMED8-2T to replace the Supermicro H11SSL-i)
- RAM (128GB DDR4 3200 to replace 256GB DDR4 3200 that died)
- Lots of new fittings
- Lots of new tube
- New 4070Ti waterblock (managed to save 1, the other is dead)
- New radiator since the old one was impossible to clean
Final cost, well over 1800 euros!
If anything, i think i learned my lesson using loop cleaning fluids. I'm still waiting on delivery of the second 4070Ti waterblock which is why only 2 GPUs are in the picture now.
