    News IT provider sued after it simply 'handed the credentials' to hackers — Clorox claims Cognizant gaffe enabled a $380m ransomware attack

    too many CFOs don't see the value in local IT support. they see the IT department as a financial drain with no benifit to making money. Completely ignorant to the fact their whole business depends on computers and if the network goes down their whole business grinds to a halt. I had one of...

    bro, this is called an Anecdotal Fallacy. this is like someone swimming in the ocean and declaring it safe for everyone because you didn't drown, get eaten by a shark of killed by something poisonous. When challeneged you say "no, I went in and came out fine~!" as if that proves anything...

    Question Silent RTX 5080 - RMA

    that might mean the frequency the electricity that passes through the caps at are right on the edge of harmonizing. depending on load and game i'm sure it fluctuates and causes a harmonization, then it's a dice role if it's in the audible range.

    Act fast! This Intel Core i5-1400K is a whopping 39% off, and comes with a free 1TB SSD for good measure for a limited time

    If i could be certain i actually got what they claimed to be selling me, or that it wasn't an RMA that they repackaged and are trying to sell "new" i would be happy to jump on any newegg bargain. but they've sort of burnt those bridges of credibility years ago.

    News Intel Nova Lake specs leaked — Up to 52 cores and 150W of TDP for Intel's AMD Zen 6 rival

    so if i read this right, they're downgrading the E cores to the mobile version of the E core in order to save on power, so they can up the P core count because, you know, they did away with hyperthreading so they need more physical cores to perform, and likely need to figure out how to clock it...

    News EVGA motherboard owners furious over modern GPU issues — DIY users resort to taping over pins to fix RTX 50 Series problem on Z690 boards

    to be fair EVGA hasn't made motherboards since they dropped out of the GPU game. The company is basically in maintenance mode at this point. Expecting more is probably hoping for too much.

    News [The] Majority of gamers are still playing at 1080p and have no use for more than 8GB of memory': AMD justifies RX 9060 XT's 8GB of VRAM

    actually take those green glasses off. AMD is being up front and clear on this. they are marketing the card at 1080p. they are not marketing it at 4k or 2k gaming. NVIDIA is the company pushing 8gb cards and claiming they are 4k gaming cards. while it's fair to be disapointed in the vram on...
