I can confirm that privacy-sandbox-attestations.dat, 137.0.7151.69.manifest, and IwaKeyDistribution are all legitimate files and directories. Sometimes the mind wants to zero in on anything that looks a bit strange. There are a lot of files there, and these are not the kinds of files that would...

It is strange, but being in your face like that, it seems like a prank. Also, the shortcut is Win + PrtSc.

Check logged in devices. Log out any sessions from before the password change. It's known that devices do not always get logged out from Google after a password reset. Like was posted previously, the hacker may have created a passkey. Zendesk is a support platform. It has nothing to do with...

I really don't think that Discord token stealers have persistence. They absolutely cannot survive a full reformat. That would take a firmware rootkit.

There goes Tom's Hardware again. "You can turn a cheap CPU with iGPU into a GPU for AI with this one simple trick!" And it's just an OEM APU with 16 GB of slow DDR4.

The RX 570 would be significantly faster. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-RX-570/3649vs3924

I returned the 3400G and bought a 2400G. Same issue, so I asumed it must be the motherboard. The Amazon tech support agent concluded that the display ports were bad. The new board arrived, I hooked it up, but there's still no output on the monitor. I'm thinking maybe PSU or RAM, but it did work...

I'm building a new system with a Ryzen 5 3400G and ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0. I updated the BIOS using a Ryzen 2700, verified that the BIOS version was 2.30, then installed the 3400G and removed the temporary GPU that I was using. I turned it on, and the computer ran normally but there was nothing...

Less than a week ago I worked on a laptop for a customer. Windows 10 had crashed, and I had to reset it. I just heard back that it failed to boot again, apparently after a failed update, and she wants me to fix it without paying. It's a 50-mile round trip to this customer's house, so I would...

Drive appears to be working just fine and is brand new. I should also have mentioned that the error repeats for Disk 1 also. And I read ASRock's RAID manual before starting. I'm thinking that it might be better at this point to just buy a cheap RAID card like this one...

I'm not sure what you mean by 'external computer,' but yes, an eGPU should take much of the load off your workstation. The fact is, there's not much point in using such a setup with a desktop, unless you physically can't fit a GPU inside the case. You would also need something like a Thunderbolt...

A fan hub is a good option, but a fan splitter will do the same job with nothing to mount. https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-Computer-Extension-Converter-TeamProfitcom/dp/B07F8LV1BY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=fan+splitter&qid=1556483389&s=electronics&sr=1-4 A Molex to 3-pin adapter isn't a bad idea either.

The Ryzen 7 2700 is officially supported like any other AM4 CPU. I can't see any compatibility problems happening. But if you're looking for the best mobo, you're not going to want a MicroATX model. I would go with the plus gaming TUF.

I am having some difficulty setting up RAID on an ASRock FM2A68M-DG3+ Mobo. When I run rcadm.efi and enter rcadm -M -id -d 0 1 to initialize the drives I get the following message: Uninitialized disk or disk with unknown state found Unknown Online, Disk 0 Before I go an alternate route, I...

Good to know.
