• 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.

    Welcome to Archality - AI Inference by Enthusiasts

    Im going to assume a bot hasnt hijacked your account. Maybe this is a tricky question this early in the game, but how would this compare to other machine learning solutions from dedicated ml companies like tenstorrent or cerebras.

    ZOTAC RTX 5090 12V-2×6 connector completely melts with below-recommended 850W PSU

    Typically in a situation like this you dont load balance, you just use larger safety margins. Larger connector, more pins, different materials or mechanical design, etc. Load balancing is extra complexity that is probably not needed.

    Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data

    no, i wouldnt. Anything that actually needs to be encrypted needs to be encrypted end to end. Encrypting some random link in the middle is a waste of energy.

    Wi-Fi 8 demonstrated with first prototype connection

    Hard disagree. Sometime around 802.11ac or ax wifi got really good. These days i dont bother wiring in even to play some counterstrike. 802.11n or g were worthless for any competitive fast paced games. And the throughput is decent for day to day stuff.

    Why is website password policy so bad

    Yeah I suppose you might be correct. I still prefer to have a reasonably complex password though.

    Why is website password policy so bad

    Like most things, I think it depends. A 12 character password made of lower case, upper case, numbers, and 8 specials has (26+26+10+8)^12 combinations. Log2( combinations) = 73 bits of entropy. A 7 word password chosen randomly from a 2000 word list has 2000^7 combinations. log2(...

    Why is website password policy so bad

    This is just a rant more than anything, but I suppose if there are actual answers that would be good. Why do websites have such terrible password requirements? I put in a fully random 20 character lowercase letter password, keepass estimates it at 80bits of entropy. Seems good? Website...

    New build won’t turn on

    I would assume the RGB parts of the memory are i2c targets (not controllers). If this is correct, they will not put any data on the bus if there is no request initiated from a controller. In that case simply not installing any led control software would be sufficient to remove all RGB traffic...

    Tesla m10 and Asus prime x-399-a

    Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake

    Very interesting.

    US could ban Chinese-made TP-Link routers over hacking fears: report

    I recently setup a mikrotik hex router, was really impressed with how many features it has, and wireguard vpn setup was relatively simple. If you want a slightly more advanced router but dont want to build your own seems like a good middleground. Edit: realized i should mention i was ccna...

    AMD Returns To 1996 With Zen 5’s Two-Block Ahead Branch Predictor

    Cpu architecture is not my dayjob, so i dont know how modern complex stuff does it, but in simpler designs the misprediction penalty is a function of how long the pipeline is, which is typically not related to how complex the prediction logic is. Pipeline length is typically a function of how...
