    Are you really going to base your entire conclusion off of one test?
     
    Geekbench is unreliable at best. Add software like blender to your list of benchmarks for a better overall look at performance.

    TVwazhere got a reaction from minato in How many fans can I daisy chain together   
    There's a technical answer to this:
     
    Each fan header on a motherboard is able to push out (typically unless otherweise specifed) 1A of power. 
     
    Every fan has their listed amp usage on them. Typically this ranges from 0.15A to 0.4A. You can find this info on the fan motor sticker 

     
    So, generally speaking you can safely attach 3 fans to one header. Beyond that, you'll need to invest in a fan hub to get the amount of fans you want all controlled by one header.

    Oh I Upgraded in January but I haven't updated my signature until I write the blog (and I've bene really slow on that)
     
    Personally the only thing I'd change is switching out the surge protector for a UPS. Admittedly more expensive, but it protects your PC from blackouts / brown outs, and "smart" ones can safely shut down your pc if the battery runs out so you don't end up with any corrupt files or data.

    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.

    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.

    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.
