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.
I played every day for the better part of a decade. Upper tiers got so grindy; roll out a vehicle, get one shot...week repair. Eventually I was just like, fuck it.
I'm a little confused buschman. By power supply cords I assume you mean the ubiquitous IEC C13, these
but I don't know what you mean by AGP in this context. Do you mean VGA perhaps?
While technically AGP cables do exist, I have never seen one in the wild...
A lot of the old threads, if they get necroed, the mods lock them forever. I don't know why. I hope it doesn't happen here. To add some actual value to this post, there is a guy I enjoy on youtube, vswitchzero, that has done repairs on a number of 3dfx cards. He was inspired to start his...
Thanks for the offer. I went over there with a tape measure and her current display is 17"...she wants 17", not smaller. I'm kind of surprised, been striking out here, plenty of 15.6 but nothing in 17.
Maybe I should start a new thread specifying screen size now that I have more information...
She is pretty adamant about a large screen laptop, she uses it on the couch. In fact I am scrapping out 2 desktop systems from the house. I would think we could find something suitable between $2-300 don't you think?
It seems like I'm on here every couple years looking for a "new" laptop for myself or a close friend. This one is for a friend's elderly mother. The one she has will not support Win11 and the nagging about that bothers her. It is also pretty slow, though that may have more to do with cruft...
I'm not arguing. The Teraractyl is still my primary battlestation. Overclocked xeon hex, 48GB of ram, nvme boot drive and a 1080ti in it these days...it does the business at 5760 x 1080 to this day.
I actually just negged an Ebay seller, and I don't do that lightly, I was shopping on Ebay to avoid feeding Bezos, paid $5 extra, and then the item arrived in Amazon bubblepack. The dude essentially pocketed my $5 and laughed at my attempt to resist...this fucking world man...
Yeah, thankfully easy to unbox, I have a 1U supply with bulged caps in the pile not so much easy to unbox.
I just have to document enough repairs at this point to justify a DigiKey order.
