    markopolomp got a reaction from PeterT in 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 - Cloudflare DNS adding VPN   
    SOURCE: https://www.cnet.com/news/cloudflare-offers-mobile-vpn-to-hide-more-of-your-browsing-history/
     
     
    Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS will be adding a VPN to your connection if you use their DNS to further increase your privacy and security, and they assure you that it won't slow down your connection speed. 
     
    By offering a freemium model, they'll be making money of of this. However, they promise not to slow down their free users' connection to entice users to upgrade. 
     
    Supposedly, a high adoption rate of the VPN will make Cloudflare's other products more popular and improve them, which will help improve the experience the general user will have while browsing the internet.
     
     
    I personally haven't used the 1.1.1.1 DNS yet, and I do have my own VPN through PIA (so many acronyms in this post). But I think it's a great idea. It's nice to see companies that actually care about internet privacy (even if they are planning and making it a freemium service).

    Facebook, once again, doesn't seems to care about its users' privacy. Facebook claims that they normally mask people's passwords when they create accounts, but apparently hundreds of millions of password were accessible in a database by Facebook employees. This was noticed in January by security engineers who realized that passwords were being inadvertently logged into a plain text format. And although Facebook claims that no one outside of Facebook had access to these, they still won't release how many employees had access to this data.
     
     
     
     
     
    Just change your passwords if you use Facebook, use a password manager and randomly generated passwords, and remember that Facebook/Instagram will never treat your data right lol

    markopolomp got a reaction from voiha in Which SSD To Buy?   
    WD is a brand that most people trust completely. I personally don't recognize the other two brands, so I can't say if they're good or reliable or not. As far as speeds go, WD is SATA, but unless you're using the SSD for transferring files often, then it'll be fine. Considering you're looking at 250gb from what the links show, I imagine you're not using it as your main storage, or at least not for large video file transfer or anything. So SATA should be more than enough

    markopolomp got a reaction from Ace McPlane in My pc wont start up anymore :(   
    I'd say try to exhaust every options before you spend a lot of money on new stuff. Make sure the cooler is mounted properly, double check every wire and make sure they're securely plugged in, since they might have loosened a bit when you were moving stuff around. Put the old ram back in and see if it boots. There's a chance you got DOA RAM, which you should be covered by a manufacturer's warranty. 
     
    side note, pretty sure i have the same gpu lol. 1060 6gb?

    markopolomp got a reaction from fastbacca in Do I need to buy an certain ssd for my gaming PC   
    I just bought this to upgrade my girlfriend's PC, because it's cheap, it works, and 500gb is a significant amount that works as a great boot drive and can hold a bunch of programs for fast loading speeds. In my opinion, it's the best budget SSD that won't break on you.
