No they aren't mate Some of that hardware is currently in use in my PC room and some of it is stored in the boxes as I've ran out of room to fit everything downstairs lol When I move I'll be making sure I have a big enough room or something to show what I have on desks or stands for the hardware

I think it's grown a little more since then but I thought it might brightened up the mood

an impressive collection indeed mate.....

I wish I had a few more boxed goodies but sadly I did have a massive clear out when I stopped benching back in 2015... But it seems now that I have even more than I did then... I must be proper crackers

People in vehicles just don't seem to have time to let anyone out, give way or anything for a while and it will only get worse I fear.. The roads are busy, a lot of people have so little patience they think barging into lanes into bikes, cars, you name it, there's so much footage around of people having near misses or causing accidents its unreal.

I bet most of the time as well, it's just because they couldn't be bothered to wait an extra 30 seconds or a minute or something to pass something safely.

The world we live in has changed and it's certainly not for the better I feel personally.. I feel very sorry for my daughters who will be growing up in it... Makes me sad even more so when I know I won't be here forever and be able to protect from it...

But still, enough of all this morbid crap.. Time for something to get us back on topic

Anything X79 in there? I probably would of bought one off you last year for a good price. I tried desperately to obtain a quality X79 board on ebay when my X79 pro went into its death spiral but there was no way i was paying £300 for a preowned one or £300-500 if it came with ram+cpu from ebay.

 

[phill]

I have a couple of X79's there, I think there's an Asus 4 Formula and a EVGA X79 Dark, currently waiting on a X79 Black Edition but that might be a little way off

Nothing up for sale in that lot, that's my for keeps collection Been there so many times buying and then selling and then buying again, I just stopped and now I'll keep hold of the lot (Apologies )

 

[FreedomEclipse]

well my X79 setup is long gone. everything got parted out and sold to pay for my 8600k settup

Ive seen them. It was a few years back. Before TPU had all this spam protection stuff to fight spam bots

Always thought it was just social media thing only as I see them all the time on social media.

Nah we've had them here. Alongside the ones for weightloss meds and other crap.

Most spammers don't bother as I think they have to wait a few hours or days before they can post after registering and account so they don't hang around.

Once in a while you'll get a try hard though

How's everyone's day going?? Everyone have a good fathers day yesterday?

Yeah, I went round to my parents house and my dad made me some bacon rolls. Not quite the spirit but they like the company

 

[kurosagi01]

Didn't know that and as for Fathers day, it has always been awkward one for me as it's day before my grandma birthday so we normally celebrate her birthday instead but this year and moving forward, she isn't around anymore. But we still had our traditional meal out to celebrate and I decided to try a Vietnamese food challenge as she has always wanted her grandchildren to be well fed.
The challenge was to finish: 1kg of vermicelli rice noodles, 100g of chicken, 100g of beef, 3 pork skewers, 3 scrambled eggs, 3 diced spring rolls and some veggies in under 25minutes.
Sadly i've failed gracefully with maybe 1 and half tub of noodles, 3 skewers, some beef and veggies left in the bowl. It was a fun challenge and it does show that I can have decent appetite as I have over the years reduce my intake volume due to lack of fitness and been trying to eat 2-3 healthyish meals a day.

That sounds like it did the ticket I went out with the misses and my youngest daughter (sadly not my eldest daughter as well) for a simple bite to eat. It was just what I was after, nothing fancy and just something simple, just like me

Not bad, bought a avermedia extremecap u3 cv710 from market months ago for £3 and sold it today for £50.

I never thought i would say this.

Sadly, i was a bit of a muppet and clicked on something i should have. My my pc is infected with ebola real bad and i think the only way to fight it is by orbital cannon.

Im just waiting for kaspersky to finish its advanced disinfection scan before i decide if it can be salvaged

I saved a few drives like that with malware bytes free, it's really effective, good luck though.

First visit to my Dad's grave yesterday since him passing at christmass, going to be a bit weird fathers day from now on.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Yeah... someone tried to access my hotmail account from russia - blocked all that shit and enabled 2 step authentication. I hope they didnt get too much data but im looking at a complete reinstall after clean up just to be to be sure.

Quite a fright then eh.

In that case, I would probably prefer the wipe myself, just to be sure, I am quite parra though.

Kaspersky got stuck at 99% and didnt move for 2hrs so i hard reset and went into safe mode. Ran Malwarebytes and it found some 200+ issues so I really had a number done on me. Malware quarantined everything suspicious and now im running a kaspersky bootable from USB and scanning. Its been 23mins into the scan and so far so good.

oof - i glazed over this. Im really sorry for your loss. Life will never be the same again but you are your fathers son! his achievements are your achievements and its now your job to keep his memory alive. Such is the way of life.

Is nana still around?

::EDIT::

Looks like Malwarebytes in safe mode did its job. Kaspersky Rescue Tool is scanning other hard drives that i have hooked up but C: is clean as a whistle and a reboot and second scan of Malwarebytes didnt pick anything up. so fingers crossed my OS isnt Swiss cheese. I'll be monitoring all connections closely when im done with all the scans.

Stop going on them dodgy pron sites

Ok im back... Ran about 3 or 4 different malware apps went through every startup service and service in general just to make sure it all checked out. Glasswire is running, im plugged in. Nothing suspicious yet...

I was up until 4am scanning and rescanning this PC and monitoring it on glasswire for dodgy business. Apart from a browser search hijacker that hasnt hijacked my searches yet - this machine is pretty clean (???) Turned UAC back on, SFC checks out. Malwarebytes draws a blank, Microsoft malware removal tool draws a blank, roguekiller draws a blank, kaspersky draws a blank, Adwcleaner pulls up that hijacker but thats about it.

Everything seems ok for now. Still backing up all my data though. Im going to be installing W10 1903 this weekend i think just to be completely safe. There are some system process that i dont 100% trust but are digitally signed by microsoft but for now nothing is sending data to places that look suspicious on glasswire.

I don't believe your the first or will ever be the last as something similar happened to me but they where able to get into my Paypal (via Ebay) and use a credit card which was interesting as I was having arguements with Microsoft about having a £180 quid charged to me over games I never bought, I wasn't best amused... They were quite useless about it. Paypal I must say where fantastic and I'm not a fan of Paypal with how much they charge etc etc but moving on...

Still even all that fun on top, I now have more passwords and everything else to use and remember, there becomes a point that I really do wonder if I can be bothered with it at all sometimes... But I simply gave up and formatted the drive, it was so much easier to do after all the rubbish that was on the drive booting up random programs or IE windows with annoying music etc.. Most frustrating...

I'm sorry to hear it and I hope you're ok
