    inventor02 got a reaction from givingtnt in Is this a good build for the new Ryzen Apu's?   
    That link seems to be broken - copy the "permalink" at the top of the parts list instead of the one from your browser's URL bar.

    inventor02 reacted to ProjectBox153 in More than 4,200 websites affected by a hijacked website plugin   
    If you've been to one of the 4,275 websites listed here, you may have been a victim of a hijacked plugin using visitors CPUs to mine Monero. The affected plugin, named Browsealoud, is used to read websites out to people who may have issues using the web. The code for the plugin was altered to inject Coinhive's Monero miner into the website, and as a result people have been mining Monero for someone who, as far as I'm aware, is still anonymous.
    This plugin was used by a lot of UK government websites. Luckily, the company seemed to be on top of the incident, and released a Twitter post addressing the problem:
    Texthelp, the company that develops Browsealoud, has said that "no customer data has been accessed or lost", and customers will receive an update once it becomes available.

    inventor02 got a reaction from Elfman in can you get a virus by simply downloading the file and not opening it?   
    I think these [File2org] files are the same as the [DropFile] ones you used to get from Adfly a couple months ago - harmless unless you run them - and even then they probably only install adware or kindly inform you that you have a virus and you need to call Microsoft support on this totally legitimate phone number.
     
    Still, it's wise to run a scan - and make sure the file isn't still lurking in the recycle bin.

    I just wanted to say, in case some of you didn't know, that if you ever want to see what is inside a specific electronic device without opening it up, simply input the FCC id number into a website such as https://fccid.io
     
    You should see documents labeled interior or exterior photos. Note that some documents might be confidential, therefore disabling access to those documents per request of the manufacturing company.

    If by "space power" it means "explode-and-blast-your-computer-parts-into-space power" then sure. I wouldn't trust it.
