Yesterday I did an experiment, I wanted to see what happens if I enter the wrong BitLocker PIN too many times. Well, now I find out what happens! For some reason, today my PINs (both BitLocker PIN and the Windows login PIN) and fingerprint are not recognized anymore. The only thing still working...

Thank you sooo much!

Looking at the S.M.A.R.T. values in Smartmontools (here), I see entries labeled "Pre-fail" and "Old_age" in the Type column. However, CrystalDiskInfo (here) reports the same HDD status as Good. Is this normal or should I be concerned about the "Pre-fail" labels?

Do they have the same purpose? Is one more secure than the other? Thank you

Thank you! I will

Thank you. Are there more reliable reviews regarding power consumption, or does it not make much of a difference? If I find a power consumption review for the Founder’s Edition RTX 2080 Ti, will it also apply to MSI or ASUS RTX 2080 Ti models, or do I need to look for reviews specific to those...

I searched for datasheets with Gpu power consumption at idle and I haven't found anything. How is it possible? I think that is an important data to know. Where should I look to have an official source or very reliable for this data? For example for the Rtx 2080 Ti or Rtx 3060 Ti. Thank you
