  1. Okay all, I'm gonna need some more expertier experts to help me figure this one out. One day, long ago, my Samsung Frame SOC1000T performed what's known in the computing world as a firmware update. This update managed to sufficiently break the TV in a way that any large changes in the actual image (not aspect or other change that would normally reset the image) causes the HDMI connection to disconnect from the TV entirely as though it were completely unplugged with even sound being rerouted to my headset. I have changed HDMI cables, checked the GPU, factory reset the TV, etc. As best as I can tell, the TV completely lacks any grounding from any source other than the PC due to only being a two-pronged plug. In order to restore the connection, I have to either completely unplug the TV or turn it off and wait for a complete shutdown as opposed to sleep mode and then power it back on. What I'm trying to figure out is why a large change in the image displayed would affect the HDMI connection beyond just a large burst of data being sent, how can I fix this, and why Samsung would ever allow such an obvious issue to occur. Also, is there any settings on PC to limit the data that can be sent to the TV such as a "packet size" limitation in hopes that it will decrease the burst data that the TV has to handle? Thanks to anyone and everyone in advance. The TV is out of warranty by now, so this is my last ditch effort.
  2. Hi, so an interesting air-gapped exploit for the Google Home has been discovered by scientists after having been exploited by hackers for years and it involves ultrasonic sound. By playing voice recordings over ultrasonic recordings, bad actors have cancelled the set wake-up alarms of unsuspecting victims while leaving seemingly silent voice data to be heard when playing back user's commands. This often followed bad feedback left on Google devices and would mimic an error on Google's part as no command would seemingly be given. It was only recently that more official scientists have discovered and disclosed the vulnerability to the public. But it certainly causes for concern for anyone who's smart home is under full control by user voice as anyone with the "Audacity" to take advantage of this could easily modify a normal voice recording to play in the ultrasonic range with users being none-the-wiser outside of ringing in their ears in the middle of the night and suddenly upset pets.
  3. So, I just watched this video and I'm appalled at how Linus connected those SLI cards in series instead of parallel which increased the amount of pressure required to push through each loop and carries the heat of one component to the next. My personal favorite setup starts by splitting the flow via Y-connector to the CPU and top of the first GPU. Then the output of the CPU to the other side of the top of the first GPU. Then connect each GPU together with two connections in parallel with the output on the bottom of the second GPU on the same side as the CPU input. It's maximum flow and no carrying of heat to the next component. Shame.
