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.
Laptop with spill proof keyboard
- Thread starter colore
- Start date
In general spill resistant designs are limited to business class laptops (eg Lenovo Thinkpad, Dell Latitude, and whatever HP is calling theirs) and not consumer ones. The reason being that normal laptop keyboards are open at the bottom, to make them spill resistant they need to put a solid tray underneath and then add drain ports in a few spots around the edges.
The reason I say resistant, not proof is that while water won't be a problem if you spill something sticky or conductive into the keyboard the residue left behind may still end up shorting a key out or just making them all stick.
On the plus side, if that does happen, business class laptops are generally designed to be repaired in the field either by a next day warranty service tech or someone in corporate IT. That means that if you do still manage to screw a keyboard up by dumping a can of Red Bull or mug of coffee flavored sugar milk into it replacing it yourself should be relatively painless.
