    Solved! Am I more likely to be hacked by a human or a computer?

    Just never use a real word. Throwing a $ in the middle of awe$ome doesn't slow anyone down. Rainbow tables have that covered. l33t speak can work...kinda depends who's attacking and if they care enough to get your data.

    Solved! Am I more likely to be hacked by a human or a computer?

    12 character that is not a word. We can't talk about how-to password cracking on these forums, But i've cracked my old ones within 5 seconds using a rainbow table attack. Now mine is looking around 11 years. Good luck getting into my files. Also make sure to have your email, bank, and each...

    toshiba bios is locked forever

    I don't know about the internet blocking the true solution. Sounds a bit crazy. If the CMOS reset doesn't remove the password, I don't know what will. Ever thought that some BIOS don't let you edit anything? I got a few Dell Laptops that the BIOS is all greyed out. The only thing I can do is...

    <£650 Atmos Home Cinema System

    I get what you are saying and asking for. What I am saying is buying a KIA a bad idea and not worth the money. Either spend more and don't get anything. The AVR isn't the problem, the speakers are.

    <£650 Atmos Home Cinema System

    I'm not a audiophile either and what I quoted was the low end haha. But there is a reason no "real" reviews exist for those speaker combos. All I can say is you get what you pay for.... Maybe someone else can help you out.

    <£650 Atmos Home Cinema System

    The Denon is okay and better than most brands at that price range. I cannot comment on the speaker package. A long time ago I bought a 5.1 speaker package and thought it was amazing. Than I heard some real speakers a few years later and realized I was scammed. Did some reading and found out to...

    <£650 Atmos Home Cinema System

    Are you needing speakers also? Because the AVR is going to be £650 alone, than any decent speaker will be at least £150 if not more. For Atoms you need 7 main speakers, 1 subwoffer and at least 2 ceiling speakers. That makes it 7.1.2. The cost goes up even more from there. My front speakers...

    Solved! How to transfer hmdi to woofer sound

    You would need a to get a pre-amp or AVR and send it to that first, than the video to the TV. Some TVs have a return audio channel that you could send to the AVR afterwards.

    4K video player

    Oppo are amazing. But overpriced unless you already have thousands spent on a TV. You can find used Oppo for like $250 since the new standard MSRP price is $500.

    4K video player

    You could just get a Xbox One S and have a gaming console also. But yeah standalone players are still $200-300.

    Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut or Kryonaut on MSI laptop

    Have you ever taking a laptop apart? All the ones I have, do not go back together nicely since most use plastic clips instead of screws for the shell. Still a bunch of screws but now you have clips to deal with.
