• 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.

    Google Fi service

    Thank you all for the feedback, I really appreciate it. From what I have read, it seems that I should not expect any issues with Google Fi if I go that route. Also, I'll take a look at Total Wireless to see if they are a viable option for me.

    Google Fi service

    For those of you that use Google Fi, can you please share any pitfalls / issues / etc. with their service that you have experienced? I am considering making a switch from US Cellular to Google Fi. We are not heavy data users, averaging ~ 2.5GB / month between two lines. I like Google Fi's...

    i3 3220 for Windows 10?

    Quick update, I did swap drives on one of the computers and it seemed to make a bit of a difference. Out with the Seagate 7200RPM 500GB HDD, in with SanDisk SSD Plus 240GB drive. A fresh installation of 64-bit Windows 10 was executed as part of this update, along with a fresh installation of...

    i3 3220 for Windows 10?

    This is exactly what I have in mind, and so if the SSD is not the answer it will go toward a new build.

    i3 3220 for Windows 10?

    Thank you all for your feedback, looks like I will be updating HDD to SSD on both computers. And for what it's worth, I happened to find this on YouTube last night from JayzTwoCents (spoiler - it's about using SSDs on older hardware).

The OS was upgraded to Windows 10 on both machines, and the latest 1803 software update is applied to each. There...

    Why The Game Industry Is Still Pushing Pre-Orders

    I preordered BF4, and I had to wait for a few months before it was playable on my computer (game updates / motherboard BIOS updates). I plan on getting BF1, and will probably wait until December to see if there are any release issues.

    Galaxy S4 help.....

    How comfortable are you with tearing into a smartphone? If the adapter mentioned above didn't work, you could temporarily plug your phone's display into your wife's old phone to retrieve her data. I ran into something similar with (2) S4's (one screen didn't work, the other did), and here is...

    Have you looked at the For Sale / For Trade section? Here is a 4790k / Z97 ATX mobo combo that's reasonably priced and fairly modern. While you can't reply directly to that specific thread, you could contact the seller directly via private message. BTW, I am not the seller, just a person who...

    Will the aircraft be biplanes? That might be cool, and slow.
