EK Waterblocks: Liquidity shortage and mismanagement

Old School PCs going on sale for a bargain
Spotty replied to Archie_Altz's topic in General Discussion
Too old to be useful and too new and mass produced to be interesting from a retro standpoint. Unless you have a "smash room" where you charge people to go in to a room with a baseball bat and smash some junk and need some cheap computers for people to go office space on then I don't really see much use for those old systems. -
Takedown TV shows also okay? Limitless NCIS FUBAR - Episode 6

4070 i just a new 4070 gpu and its performing worse then my old 2070 super
Spotty replied to darkrobbe1's topic in Troubleshooting
Can you describe what the actual performance issues are? Gaming? If so, what game(s)? What resolution and settings are you playing on? What fps are you receiving on the 4070? How does it compare to the 2070S? If you swap the card back to the 2070S does performance improve? It can be a good idea to enable an on screen performance display or logging while checking this to help diagnose the issue. MSI afterburner has an OSD built in that will display things like CPU, GPU, memory usage, temperatures, etc. -
Just some garbage website writing fake articles putting popular key words on the page to trick people in to visiting the site.

Secondary pretty old Microsoft Acc compromised. Primary still holding on
Spotty replied to Tech Reprise's topic in Off Topic
Likely your email address was exposed in an unrelated breach and now attackers are trying that email and password combination to try and access your account. Hopefully the reason it's unsuccessful is because you're using unique passwords. For extra protection you should enable MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) to the Microsoft account. -
Dashlane password manager set to increase prices by 700%
Spotty replied to rodrifo's topic in Programs, Apps and Websites
Moved to Programs, Apps, and Websites. A requirement for the Tech News section is reputable news articles reporting the topic. Tech News Posting Guidelines. Just cancel and migrate to a different password manager. There's plenty of options to choose from and most will allow you to import passwords stored in another manager. -
Yes. You only need to use the adapter cable that goes to 3 PCIe cables if your power supply does not have a 12VHPWR cable. Since your power supply has the 12VHPWR cable you can just use that instead of the adapter cable and PCIe cables.

The 4k versions will typically have a higher bitrate and should provide better visual quality even when displayed on a lower resolution monitor. Here's an example of the most recent LTT video at 1080p and 4k displayed on the same screen with the same viewing window (2236x1118). There's some noticeable difference around the face and hair. The eyebrows, cheeks, nose, and hair look a little smudgey and less detailed on 1080p compared to 4k.

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.
