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.

The PC Is Dead

Read my first post dude, that exactly what I said. I have 5 pc's, but not a single desktop, which is what I believe the article was stating. The pc surely is nowhere near dead, but the desktop is dying.
I hate to say this to you, but no matter how you slice it, what you are using is a PC.
Laptops are simply portable PC's.
Netbooks are essentially laptops sans the CD rom drive.
Tablets are netbooks sans the mouse and keyboard.
And when you think about it....smartphones are tablets with a phone bundled with them.
They are all PC's, just different configurations designed to meet different needs.
The Personal Computer (whch is what PC stands for) is not dead, not even sick with cold, and never will be. All that is happening is it is evolving.
I honestly believe that I'll have some form of PC desktop running around this place till the day I die and, barring various end-of-civilization scenarios, they will continue to make them for decades and even centuries afterwards. It's an essential tool that will hang in there for the long haul with Mankind; right up there with the wheel and the printing press.

I disagree with this. I have four useful desktops in my house: One for my office/studio (which also happens to be the guest bedroom), one for my wife's office (which currently resides in the living room), one for our HTPC, and one I made from spare parts that I use for random crap. We have two laptops, and we each have a smartphone. The smartphones are merely for email and communication on the go. She would never want to be confined to a small laptop screen for working on her excel spreadsheets. I would never want to do my HD video and phone editing without my dual monitors and 6 core (or at least a quad core) CPU.

This, I agree with. I have yet to see a laptop that comes close to a desktop for performance at the same price point. And until this happens, desktops are still going to be quite viable. Desktops are certainly more reliable and cheaper/easier to repair. Laptops are proprietary. This is ALWAYS going to give them a disadvantage compared to desktops, especially for businesses, schools, and companies that buy lots of volume.
