  1. Intermittent System Stutter Experienced with fTPM Enabled on Windows® 10 and 11 | AMD The funny thing is AMD is claiming a dedicated TPM will fix the issue, whoever that was in this thread saying it doesnt fix and swore up and down:
  2. I am going to believe you and cancelled the order on my discrete TPM, but there is a lot more people saying that a discrete tpm fixed the issue where as you seem to be the only vocal one saying it doesn't fix.
  3. Good to know. I am going to start decrypting my drives so I can turn off bitlocker and tpm and cancel my order on a discrete TPM.
  4. Yeah, I currently use bitlocker. If I turn off the fTPM I fall back to my system needing the decryption key at startup. Bitlocker itself is fine for my needs I just need the TPM so my system can be rebooted and managed remotely. (can't enter the key remotely!) I have offline storage of my bitlocker decryption keys so not to worried about that part. For anyone looking I ended up finding what I needed, MS-4136 for my MSI X570.
  5. Good lord this has been plagueing me ever since I upgraded from X370 to X570, on my old gigabyte board I had the dedicated TPM, then when I went to Zen3 I decided to use the fTPM. I thought I had a gremlin or something, couldn't figure it out and it was driving me nuts. Now I am looking to buy the discrete TPM for my MSI X570 Tomahawk Max WiFi and the documentation is literal ass. Does anyone who can decipher their ridiculous documentation have any clue which actual chip I should be buying? I don't want to turn off Bitlocker or rely on using the decyption key as I am away from home a lot and use game streaming so one reboot will take me offline til I can get home, and it would take days to decrypt my larger spin disks. Edit for anyone curious: I ended up finding what I needed, MS-4136 for my MSI X570.
  6. CCNA also requires you to have a brain and understand routing while a A+ is just regurgitating random ass computer facts.
  7. Totally not worth the $400 unless you want to be a GeekSquad allstar but I guess I aspire to be more than that :p.
  8. 86.49. A+ is retarded, don't waste your times boyos.
  9. Linus claimed his registrar was hacked.. DNS lookup shows godaddy as the registrar. Godaddys authentication steps are usually pretty rock solid but I could see a tier 1 guy getting goofed up and getting social engineered'
  10. Domain Registrar: Godaddy. I am assuming the hackers got Linus's information, called in and went through a tier 1 to get a password reset. They probably gathered a bunch of information from misc. leaks and was enough to get past an after hours tier 1 tech at godaddy. Tech then resets password. Said hacker gets access to DNS panel, redirects mxrecord for linustechtips.com to his own mail server or a catchall, initiates a twitter password reset and bob is your uncle. The reason they probably only had access to the twitter is it may of been the only service they could hit not running 2FA. "Hacking" these days is nothing more than ctrl + f on a bunch of leaks and playing mind games with some tier 1 support guys at companies. A little social awareness and you can pretty much do what you want.
  11. Congrats on the new distribution platform LTT. Now that I have been nice.. vASSel just seems lazy at this point. You are a content creator focusing on technology. You honestly expect me to use a site that: 1.) Has no mobile app 2.) "HD" looks like it was ripped from Youtube then converted frame by frame in paint then stitched back together 3.) Expects me to pay for content that is already ad-supported videos - on an inferior platform - on a device I do not want to watch videos on. You can say it is just "growing pains" and they will be improving as time goes on but I did not expect LTT to jump onto something in such an infancy then blow their load on a giveaway over it. I hope this venture works out well for you - I for one will continue to support you on YouTube.

  13. Start > type cmd type ping 8.8.8.8 -t (8.8.8.8 is googles DNS, very high availability and stable as fuck.) Let it run while playing BF4. When you rubberband alt + tab out and see if your pingtimes spiked or if you had dropped packets. Then you know its your networking gear or ISP. GG.
  14. Hey LTT Forums, I am currently running 3x Dell U2312HM (http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/dell-u2312h/pd) I received these from my old job and they worked nice for when I would work from home. They are from what I can tell a mid tier IPS display and the picture is nice but they are not to suited for gaming and I was never a huge fan of the eyefinity setup as it seemed to be to fisheyed for the games I play (and didnt work for others.) I am now at a point I would like to get a new monitor to either replace them or replace the center screen with something bigger or "better" for gaming. (If its even worth it, will a better screen improve my gaming experience?) It is stictly a 100% gaming machine now so color accuracy is not a big deal anymore. My system: i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz 16GB 1866 Kingston Ram 3GB Asus GTX 780 I would like to spend between 250-500 CAD (if its even worth it?) Look forward to your guys suggestions. Thanks.
