• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    WTB Graphics cards

    I've got a 970 SSC (PN: 04G-P4-2975-RX). I'd have to ship, but how much are you offering?

    FBI Director Admits Apple Encryption Case Could Set Legal Precedent

    Tim Cook said that he's willing to take the case to the Supreme Court. I suppose he could be stalling for time and just lying about it, but his stated plan sounds entirely believable.

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    Three assumptions: Civilians have access to encryption the government can't crack ("high-grade encryption" for the purposes of this post) Terrorists have access to the same things that the general public does before their actions (either because we don't know who they are, because we don't want...

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    As near as I can tell, your position logically requires banning personal use of high-grade encryption entirely - the underlying situation isn't meaningfully different if their laptop was encrypted with BitLocker, some open-source encryption project, or an implementation that they wrote...

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    In 2013, slightly over 36 thousand people in the US died of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis - the 11th leading cause of death in the country. Fewer than 3500 US citizens died in terror attacks between 2001 and 2013, including both domestic and overseas attacks. You're telling me that the...

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    Honestly, this whole argument is ridiculous. Cracking encryption like only helps after the tragedy has happens - we should just ban guns so those tragedies never happen at all. The government's looking out for us - what's the problem?

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    Apple doesn't have the password. The OS was deliberately designed such that they couldn't do exactly what you're saying.

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    I disagree that the result will be detrimental; in fact I believe that ruling in the FBI's favor in this case would set the detrimental precedence. I would much rather have secure and private devices than fine Cox for internal copyright policy; while both are notionally good things (many people...

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    This is in the papers because they haven't done that to Apple yet? Obviously? "Once Pandora's box is open" is pretty clearly in the future tense. Is your argument that, because the iphone isn't 100% secure, we should deliberately weaken its security further?

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    Regardless of what you think about the other legal points, this one is pretty clear - Apple bills the government for the work and, so long as it isn't wildly unreasonable, the government pays.

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    It seems exceedingly likely to me that Apple has (or could fairly easily develop) the capability to ignore that part of the software update process. That said, I think Apple's doing the right thing here. Firmware designed to do this would almost certainly be relatively easy to modify to work on...

    Who has the better 'current tech'?

    Clockspeed is not the only metric for how fast a processor is (and isn't even a particularly useful one, as you know full well).

    Web Status Code Tells You When Sites Are Censored

    Do you really expect free speech on other people's sites? This site certainly doesn't provide it - Kyle's pretty strict (something I'm generally thankful for).
