Hey, /g/, I have a GTX 780 ti, and after a few years of fairly heavy use, I'm finding that the video output sometimes "blacks out" for a couple of seconds when playing games. By that I mean that the screen goes black the same way it would if I tried to tab out while a game was in fullscreen mode (I usually run Borderless Windowed when possible). It doesn't appear to be a driver crash (usually it would pop a notification if the kernel had crashed and reset), so I get the feeling the card might be dying.
OpenHardware Monitor tells me the card isn't running over tolerances, though with certain games like XCOM 2, the card and computer run noticeably hotter. The output has never cut out on normal tasks like browsing or playing videos, only games.
Anyway, is this a sign of the card dying, or something more critical ? If it is the card, would replacing it with something newer fix the issue, or at this point is it time to consider a new rig entirely?
Thanks for any advice. I'm relatively new to PC building (this is the first rig I built), so I haven't actually experienced hardware death yet.

Clean the dust out and re-seat it? I've never had a problem but maybe its because mines water cooled

download the best (350.12) 780ti driver and test again.

If it's happening during "normal" gameplay (non-interrupted via alt-tab/system stuff) it shouldn't cut out your video.
I can't really say if it's dying. It could be.
I only saw my GPU die once, but it was in a different way.(it would render polygons incorrectly causing a ton of weird shit to appear)

So lets talk about Information Security or "Cyber security".
My eBay got hacked recently and someone order a ton of phones and shit, some costing $500 and I couldn't believe it. Just as I was about to go to be I looked at my phone and saw 5+ emails, all from ebay so I opened it up and had a mini hear attack. "Order confirmation", fuck.
So I immediately logged in to my ebay account (the hacker didn't change my password) and changed my password to something much longer than it previously was. Next I called customer support and some qt girl helped me cancel all of the orders.
I have a few questions about how my account got hacked in the first place. I only log into eBay on my desktop running windows and don't have any viruses or anything to my knowledge. Perhaps I have a keylogger though, how would I even know if I have one installed?
How did this happen and how can I prevent it from happening in the future?

>Just not long ago hackers gained access to 145 million eBay records and eBay released a statement urging all of it users to change their passwords.
Alright fuck so my password hash was in the database and got cracked (it was a really shitty 8 character long password). Makes sense now.

Stop using eBay. Problem solved. Next question.

You may wanna go with a higher wattage PSU, just to be safe. And I'd go with a video card that has power supply connections, and doesn't just run off the mobo.

You already have these parts except GPU?

Are all current tablets are shit?
Looking for a hybrid PC like Surface 4, but better.
This is what I need:
Solid design
Good hardware
Nice screen, not some glossy like ipad
Long battery life
The current best tablet is Surface 4, but i do not like its battery life and the display. Is there anything better or are we just in a shit situation? Is there anything good coming out soon?
Please help anon!

i dont understand the market of the surface,
if you want a tablet get a tablet
if you want something productive and portable get an ultrabook
if you want something to draw get a Wacom

Is this for real? Does anyone know how many cycles their batteries can do?
This could revolutionize everything that is portable that uses a battery. Phones would last 4 days and EVs could go 700 miles.

No. They will make thinner phones

Fucking this, unfortunately.
We won't get longer lasting phones, we'll get thinner ones that have just as shit battery and will go full wireless everything so they can save manufacturing costs while charging us more.

i think we do enough charging ourselves nowadays

Does anyone else like to play their PC games on a TV in a separate room? What method do you use?
Up until now I'd been using a 50 foot HDMI cable, which worked perfectly for my old TV. However, since I upgraded to 4k I find myself getting a very noisy image with intermittent periods where the screen just goes blank. From what I've seen, it looks like I either need an active HDMI cable, a signal booster, or an ethernet HDMI extension. Is any of these methods significantly more reliable than the others?

Any of you got any interesting ideas that involve NFC tags?
I got 10 NFC tags from eBay for $0.55.
I used one for alarm clock, but not sure what to do with the rest.

One in car. Disable wifi, enable Bluetooth, start navigation if you want.
One in doorway. Before you leave, tap on it and it'll remind you to take your keys

0.55 each or all 10?

I guess that would work.

Why the fuck have smartphone manufacturers not made NFC a standard feature across the spectrum of phones? It has great potential for contactless payments and IoT applications.
Its absolute bullshit that this has remained a "flagship" restricted feature when it was on the Samsung S3. If we can't even expect trickle down from a flagship phone from four generations ago then what hope is there for mid range consumers?

I haven't heard of a single useful application of NFC besides a wireless payment.
>>
>>56189153
This.
And seeing how most Android phones have unpatched vulnerabilities, do you really want to use them for payments?
>>
>>56189153
>>56189186
Aside from payments its excellent for data exchange b/w smartphones like iR ports that the Japanese phones of yore had. Tap your phones together and you exchange contact information instantly with no issues of data input errors.
Apart from this, also instant file transfers. NFC is used for the initial handshake after which WiFi Direct can e used for high speed file transfer.
QR codes are already used in Mainland China to a significant extent both for contactless payments (Alipay/WeChat Pay) and contact info exchange (WeChat/QR code implementation in MIUI and Huawei contacts app). But where a QR code requires all interacting devices to have a camera(sensor) and/or display, NFC only needs one system and can even be embedded in dumb and unpowered objects for IoT applications.
So the use is not simply restricted to payments even, so if you suspect vulnerabilities in you phone's implementation you can just avoid using it for payments but still enjoy the growing IoT applications.
