  1. Ever since getting hacked in 2017, I've really stepped up my security protocol especially over the net. For instance, I have 2FA enabled on every online account that supports it and I use the Aegis Authenticator App to store the codes. I also have a password manager that helps me to create long, randomized passwords for all my online accounts. I also have Yubikeys for said accounts as a back-up option to verify my accounts and they have the advantage of being a physical option. My primary USB drive with my most important files is stored on Aegis encrypted flash drive with a physical keypad to enter the code. If input incorrectly after 5 times, it'll be completely wiped. My secondary USB drive as well as my SSD are also encrypted and require both fingerprint and a password to open them and they're both wiped after 5 incorrect attempts. I use Sync as my cloud to store my most important files and it has bank encryption and 2FA to prevent anybody but me from accessing it. That being said, I also encrypted my files with Crytomator so that's double the protection. In addition to that, I have encrypted the drives on my PC with veracrypt so that way, no hackers can gain access to my files. In addition to that, I use Virustotal, Apkpure and Checkshorturl to check all links,apps or files that I may download or click to see if they're legit. There's more I could add but that's just the basics. What's your security setup like?
  2. To be fair, Fortnite is kinda the same thing. The one thing I could never stand with PUBG is the amount of cheaters/hackers/modders/bots in-game. Honestly, it just became a pain playing that game.
  3. Not going to lie, I tried reading the Witcher books and I've come out of that one with more questions than answers. I thought the game was confusing but the books are arguably even more confusing. I understood some of the basic stuff but it just went off on a tangent that had me asking more questions.
  4. Which Superman game was that because that also happened in most of the Superman series I know...
  5. FF15 is a seriously underrated game - I mean I didn't like some of the changes they made to some of the summons - particularly bahamut but it was still a great overall game.
  6. As @Shagger said, it's likely a mock-up. Companies tend to do that in order to promote their products by showing some "sharp" images.

    B.ARK

    I do like the Art style but to be honest, that's the only thing in this video that looked really unique - it's no different from the thousands of other side-scroller shooting games if I'm being honest.
  8. Same - they do need some serious competition to get them to make some serious changes.
  9. Of course Activision Blizzard is going to try and scapegoat individuals so now they're throwing their current CEO under the bus when there are more individuals who also played a big part in this as well. Both current and former execs.
  10. True - parents are pretty gullible so they'll want the latest model without knowing that it isn't an upgrade on the older device just to please their kids.
  11. The part that gets me is that they have a "Cosby Suite" - Now that is wild! We've known about the toxic cultures of Gaming companies for some time but this is unreal.
  12. The good thing is that AMD made FSR open-source which can lead to it being widely adopted and possibly becoming the industry standard over time.
  13. It's not just the form factor, it's also the price to performance factor which most of their competitors offer far more appealing deals for WAY less.
  14. The only way I'd have even considered writing down my passwords are if I had a super heavy safe at home with two methods to open it but I don't so that's why I keep it on a password manager.
  15. Yeah, outside of a little bit of wear and tear, it's still quite snappy - the only issue is the battery has degraded but I can always install a new one which I did buy about a year ago. I'm just too lazy to do so...

    Steam Deck

    But the Steam Deck is a pretty versatile machine so you can just install any OS you want on it - Windows etc, the sky is the limit (at least that's what they promised, we'll see when it launches).
  17. The gravy I was talking - what ingredients do you use to make it?
  18. Personally, I just hate wearing anything extra especially when it isn't essential...
  19. Ruining your credit doesn't even help you - at all. At the very least, if you can prove that your identity has been, banks will have to forgo any loans/credit cards because of identity theft.
  20. We don't even really celebrate Thanksgiving here per say, it's just that restaurants typically cook lots of food for American tourists and it's affordable so that's why you even hear anything about Thanksgiving in our country.
  21. That's actually pretty smart - I wish our banks was this gullible. They scrutinize every bill closely so no chance of that happening here.
  22. Raw Fruits and vegetables for the most part - definitely but Raw meat is just a no in my books. It has to be cooked.
  23. Simpson have done every scenario known to man and that's why people feel that the Simpsons "predicted" everything. Honestly, I don't even watch the Simpsons nowadays either.
  24. With how the net is nowadays, I'm really picky with what I use especially when it's personal information. For instance, I use things like physical Security keys for all my online accounts along with passwords, I have encrypted flash drives that use a physical keypad that will wiped if the password is incorrectly entered 5 times, encrypt all my files on clouds using Cryptomator and Veracrypt to encrypt my hard drives so no one but me can access my stuff, An encrypted external SSD drive that requires fingerprint and a password to open it. I also do extensive research on almost anything I'm installing just to make sure it's safe and I run it through online sites like Virustotal and Apkpure to make sure there's no malware on anything I download. I also run links from emails through checkshorturl to see if the link is legit. Ever since I got hacked the first time, my paranoia levels have been through the roof.
  25. I'm no geo expert but mining a fault line could end badly because at any time, there could be an earthquake and the miners would be highly at risk given that they're working at a fault line and could be swallowed up by the Earth. But then again, I've seen them legalize all kinds of things in California - some of which range from stupid to disgusting so it wouldn't surprise me if they went this avenue.
