    LTT, TechLinked, TechQuickie were hacked

    I am not sure if browsers on Windows do that, but android apps certainly can access a lot of hardware info. UPI apps even need your SIM no. to match. They will log out if you open them without the authenticated SIM inserted. There's HTTPS & DNS spoofing for that, but I digress Damn. Will look...

    FS: Video Card TOXIC AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT Extreme Edition [RMAed Again Card]

    We are discussing the product's performance here, not bashing the price. Seller cannot make false claims. As seller has mentioned before, please start a new topic if you want to discuss RAM :p. But hats off to your ability to determine CAS latency by looking at a pic.

    LTT, TechLinked, TechQuickie were hacked

    No honour amongst thieves... Clipboard should only be pasteable, not readable by background apps. That's the only solution I can think of. Just run a basic packet sniffer. You can see the cookie text. Copy that to your browser and "you're in". I used to pentest my own network and was shocked to...

    LTT, TechLinked, TechQuickie were hacked

    Clipboard and app notifications (think OTP SMS) could be read by any app on your android phone last time I checked. The Read SMS permission is to be able to access them at any time, directly from the database. Just think of how many apps offer to fill in OTP while making payments, but never ask...

    FS: Video Card TOXIC AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT Extreme Edition [RMAed Again Card]

    Sorry to call you out publicly, but you seem to have trouble reading numbers in a table. Or you're so smart you turn a blind eye towards it and will refer to a different site when Tom's proves you otherwise. Here's the same screen grab which you posted above highlighting the 4k performance...

    Mobile Scam banking fraud

    Take your relatives and visit Cyber Crime cell. They will find out where the funds were transferred to and freeze that a/c. Even if you don't recover it, at the very least you will protect others from these scamsters. Forcing everyone to use digital banking is a stupidity on the govt's part...

    Which RAM is better?

    The general rule of thumb with RAM performance is: higher clock speed (MHz) lower CAS latency (at the same MHz) the better is the performance. So look up the timings for each. It will be a set of 4 nos, like 18-19-19-39. The first one is the CAS latency, often mentioned as C18. You can dive...

    Samsung caught faking Zoom Photos of the moon

    Hey, thank you. The shutter was open for 30 secs and my OnePlus 3 was either on a gorillapod knockoff, or supported by my wallet, can't remember now. That's the thing - a better camera will only increase the quality of the image, but to capture images is a learn-able skill that needs to be...

    Samsung caught faking Zoom Photos of the moon

    He first says he was wrong and then he goes on to rethink the meaning of photography? That doesn't sound like much of an apology. What is a photo? Moon mode magic makes the media mad But many more manipulated megapixels have their merit Is he really trying to gaslight everyone into thinking we...

    Graphic Cards What should I check if I'm buying a used GPU?

    Start by asking screenshots/video of the benchmarks (Unigine/TimeSpy) + thermal tests (10-15 mins of Furmark should be more than enough). If the benchmarks is off by more than 1-2% of online database results that could indicate an issue. Thereafter you may proceed with the rest of the checks...

    Upscaling 720p to 1080p

    #2 is your best option to make things look a bit sharper. 2 words: free trial There are different types of upscalers. Your TV/monitor has a hardware upscaler to show low resolution input fullscreen (when overscan is enabled). TVs usually have an interpolator as well to increase the fps and...

    Upscaling 720p to 1080p

    Not sure if Handbrake can do a good job. You can't simply upscale video and gain detail. AI upscalers on the other hand use machine learning to guess what a higher res should look like given a lower res sample - can make low res videos look better. 1) If you can source a 1080p version of that...

    Budget 0-20k Can't locate small button with cursor - should I get new Mouse or mousepad ?

    You have answered your own question. You reduced one option, now reduce the other.

    Budget 0-20k Can't locate small button with cursor - should I get new Mouse or mousepad ?

    Then the problem is with your DPI setting, not the mousepad. You don't even need a mousepad except to prolong the life of the sliding feet. Sensor should work fine on almost any surface

    Samsung caught faking Zoom Photos of the moon

    Widefield is possible, but telephoto is unlikely to happen. A camera is not just the sensor. The lens matters more. This is why DSLRs are verstaile with different lenses for different application. In fact you would get better results with cheap camera + expensive lens than expensive camera +...

    Budget 0-20k Can't locate small button with cursor - should I get new Mouse or mousepad ?

    Have you tried switching the DPI on the mouse to reduce sensitivity outside of games? It's the button below the scroll wheel

    Air Blower

    Any blower will do. Just make sure to tape down/disconnect fans from spinning and reverse powering the components. And don't touch the end of the nozzle to any pc part, it may have static charge.

    Budget 10-15K Is a Redmi Note 10 Pro Max for 11k a good deal?

    I meant the seller might have done it already to root/install custom ROM. All you need to ensure is that they unLINK it from their account, for which the linke'd phone no.'s SIM card has to be inserted.

    Budget 10-15K Is a Redmi Note 10 Pro Max for 11k a good deal?

    One thing to note with Redmi/Xiaomi phones is to unlock bootloader you need to create a Mi account using a phone no., wait 1 week and then unlock it. If buying a used phone, it might already be linked to someone else's Mi account, so will have to be unlinked first. Will you really need or feel...
