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.

IIdidar replied to the thread Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police.There are age verification laws because the companies are cheap and don't want to do the work themselves. That's obvious. But, again, I can choose not to use Facebook, or X, or any of those websites. The Flock stuff is persistent surveillance...

IIdidar replied to the thread Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police.No. One is a choice I can make, and unmake, at my own discretion. I would have no power to stop the tracking if the government puts up these cameras in my area and starts tracking my every movement. If they want to give citizens the ability to...

IIdidar replied to the thread Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police.Agreed. If a cop chooses to physically follow a person around because they are the subject of an investigation that is a far different creature than having cameras follow everyone regardless of investigations in case one of us commits a crime and...

IIdidar replied to the thread Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police.People keep pointing to smartphones when this is discussed but that's a bad argument. People make a choice to buy a smartphone and leave it turned on. I can take turn the thing off and stick it in a drawer and the tracking from that thing stops...

IIdidar replied to the thread NVIDIA and OpenAI Reportedly Discuss $250 Billion Deal for 10-Gigawatt Ohio Data Center.Yep. Its not like these buildings are going to have massive teams of security. They're going to keep minimal staff on site to provide basic levels of security and hope it all works out. I don't see these corporations hiring the best of the best...

IIdidar reacted to DukenukemX's post in the thread NVIDIA and OpenAI Reportedly Discuss $250 Billion Deal for 10-Gigawatt Ohio Data Center with
Like.
The more I think about it, the less AI I think is involved in those data centers. Considering the amount of surveillance we see going on in USA, it maybe that these are hoarding all the info that is gathered on US citizens. People are angry now... -
IIdidar replied to the thread How AI will fail.Corporations generally don't give a shit about the environment. They push for "green initiatives" when it helps them sell products. Water is, yes, the "environment" as is noise, as is digging up lots of wildlife. Pollution from the power has...

IIdidar replied to the thread How AI will fail.You think Amazon was pro-environment at any point? They're like most corporations, they advertise what sells.

IIdidar replied to the thread Meta Unveils an Open Version of Its Most Powerful A.I. Model.My bet is that he's trying to get some good press right now. Between the recent lawsuits about suicides and the issue with his ship up in Alaska he's taking a beating in the press.

IIdidar replied to the thread EA May Go Private in $50 Billion Buyout By Multinational Investors.Yep. This is my bet on the whole thing. They'll shut down, or ditch, anything that doesn't fit their cultural mould and just suck the profits out of the sports IP for as long as they can. If anyone thinks Saudi is going to start producing...

IIdidar replied to the thread Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police.Make money for the city? More likely that the council members and/or mayor were paid off quite nicely to sign the contract. Make more money for them, city/town coffers are a secondary concern.

IIdidar replied to the thread How AI will fail.The people who want their AI aren't the same people who were pushing wanting to clean up the environment. Your comment makes it seem like "they" are a group that changed their mind.

IIdidar replied to the thread How AI will fail.It is pretty bad when even Texas is putting the brakes on AI Data centres. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/08/texas-halts-data-center-connections-to-power-grid-amid-overwhelming-demand/

IIdidar replied to the thread GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information.If I had to travel to the US today I'd simply back up my phone locally, wipe it, load the basics and then go. I'd wait until I'm in the country and then login to my email and other things. Then before I leave I'd wipe it all again. With how easy...

IIdidar replied to the thread Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations.That's the point. Laws don't evolve fast. They're slow as cold molasses making changes in laws and companies like the entire tech industry take advantage of that by jumping through loopholes like gangbusters until the politicians manage to get...

IIdidar replied to the thread Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations.This is the thing that bugs most people I think. If you or I pulled even half of the shit these people did then we'd be in jail or be sued into oblivion. Whether that's all the digital shit of letting AI loose to hack companies or all the illegal...

IIdidar replied to the thread Ubisoft Wants Gamers To Destroy All Copies of A Game Once It Goes Offline.Agreed. The fact that a company overreacted and pulled the models doesn't make the act of making or hosting the model illegal. Not ever repository pulled such models either. Honda just found a website they could bully and did so. If the big boys...

IIdidar replied to the thread A.I. Companies Are Recruiting Electricians and Carpenters by the Thousands.Yes, that's true. Lots of parents did push their kids into higher education. A buddy of mine is a mechanic and he pushed all his kids to try to get more education because he didn't want them, at 50 or 60, to be up to their arms in grease and oil...

IIdidar replied to the thread How AI will fail.Agree. I'm in engineering on the special missions/military side of the aviation industry. Nobody has an AI model that is going to go in and measure up an existing aircraft for me, model components from physical parts, come up with design to mount...

IIdidar replied to the thread A.I. Companies Are Recruiting Electricians and Carpenters by the Thousands.Has nothing to do with academia. It has to do with generations of parents pushing their kids to get a higher education. A guy that spent his life working with his hands hopes for "better" for his kids when he retires half crippled up from impact...
