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.
It's why electronics were as cheap as they were during the 80's and 90's. It's probably why there was so much innovation because there wasn't anything limiting Japan.
Pentium M was nice but I think Athlon 64 was better. CoreDuo was also nice...
Working at TI at the time, how can the US compete with Japan producing smaller for less? And thus began the beginning of the end of TI's silicon operations.
I favor the GPU performance of Ryzen more so than Intel. Mostly because I use Linux and Intel still has more work to get their GPU performance to match that of AMD in Linux.
Hopefully the A19 Pro has a heatsink.
With the current governments both in the EU and USA we are better off doing it ourselves. Not saying don't try, but we depend on people voting for the right representatives to make sure our privacy and freedoms are intact. Two years ago I never...
Yeah but that ONN box features an always on far field microphone, the very thing this thread is calling out…
And has partnerships with Roku, Walmart, and a few others to sniff out data in your home and on your network.
Fire sticks don't have an always listening microphone on board, to my knowledge. They do have one on the remote, but you can cover it with tape if you want to. The LG TV had a microphone that was always on, even when you turned it off, and...
When I have time I'll watch the complete video, because this is one of those things where the particulars matter; as others have been discussing hypothetical capability vs active implementation. In the long term, the only solution to this...
All I know is the harder they try to use technology against people, the more surprised they'll be when smarter people fight back. The problem isn't going to be Windows and MacOS complying, because they obviously will, but the amount of Windows...
It is a mystery. It could be these chips end up in drones for all we know?
Licensing x86 has always been a good idea. I just don't know if AMD and Intel are ready to allow this? I'd like to see the market flooded with cheap x86 clones for...
It is possible. I mean I just assumed x86S was dead as dead could be as Intel abandoned it with zero products a few years back already. Who knows though.
Thinking about it you know you might not be wrong.
This COULD possibly be a chip designed...
ARMs greatest strength is how easy it is to get into them, if you can get your own license you can have at it, and if you don’t there are catalogs of options for your use case.
But ARMs default designs all have a common problem, being PCIe lane...
Apple TV doesn't let you sideload apps like SmartTube. Finding a good Android TV box is a matter of doing some research. Not sure why people consider Apple TV boxes? I would say get an Nvidia Shield but you can't find those anymore...
Funny thing you mention that. Many TVs have microphone and they also may have a physical switch to disable the said microphone but surprise surprise, it only applies to that particular microphone. It is not the only one. 😁 GN does discuss this...
That's fair about open networks. But, as a consumer if I bought the TV and didn't set it up on my WiFi I have a reasonable expectation that the TV isn't sending anything out. If the TV is connecting to an open network and sending the data? That's...
I might try jamming up the mics with stuff. I already have a few Apple TVs. The audio syncs well wirelessly with my Mac which I run all my audio through (PC as well) into a good pair of headphones. My only issue with Apple TVs is the current poor...
They are good when clear, but like your phones mic a little pocket lint and nobody can understand a damned word you say. They are easy to jam up.
I’ve gone back to Apple TV boxes, there’s no guesswork involved, I’ve dealt with too many no name...
Developing an x86 CPU isn't cheap, especially the stuff I'm hearing in this new chip. So far it has 16 and 32 tile AMX, APX, FRED, x86S, and other engineering feats. It might be made for servers since it's X86S? It makes far more sense to pay...
Wendel from Level1Techs is involved and I have more faith in him.
Gamers Nexus video shows the microphones are actually really good. Good enough to hear people talking from another room. Electrical tape might muffle it enough to prevent it...
