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.
Will it be a problem to hookup a plug adapter to a US surge protector and pulling 220v across it? Will it try to suppress the 220v? Nothing heavy...just laptop and cell chargers.
If I use my laptop plugged in alot, does it make sense to take the battery out to eliminate wear/tear on it? I'm not sure if the laptop is drawing straight from the outlet or does it draw from the battery and it gets charged at the same time.
