thats super weird

each mobo with built in nic, or lan card with nic for mobo's without lan...has a mac adresss

got the asus mobo back...they sent the wrong one..or damaged the one i sent in and claimed it was user damage and voided the warranty

for right now..it's scrap pile

intel cpu's for it cost too dam much(2011pin model)

but got free replacement from intel, multiple free replacements from corsair(free ram and upgraded model power supply)

didn't need to replace the cpu cooler..corsair offered

dam thing still works after 6yrs

and it's a watercooler

There are MAC changer apps for Win

elvis i know that..but unless u know the original MAC, it's pointless

Trudat

unless u want to create a new identity every so often

got a friend to tag my current mac id to a gps cord....once in a while it lists it as nsa, or dod, or my city's city hall

right now it's about 2-4miles from where i'm typing from

changes every so often ...thats all i know

If you paired it with your phone it should still have it?? Just thinkin aloud

i never paired it with a phone...apparently u can pair it with a virtual phone that has a fictional gps

Router info might have a list of devices previously connected if u have home wifi router

router supports 10 devices....and i purged the connections few yrs ago when too many ppl snuck onto my wifi(i capped the wifi to 1/2 meg per user)

and changed the name and pw for access to it

Email headers? Dunno much about them...

and my isp is wondering why i don't upgrade my router

i eventually disabled the wifi

made it only hardline connections only

new os, new registery

clean install for new mobo

every time i build or rebuild a system...i do a clean everything so i know it's running smooth..i keep a list of my preferred apps and plugins on a spare usb stick with the apps ready to install

been building pc's for at least 20-30yrs now

Im sorry but ive always been able to just log back into steam via my email address when i build a new pc with a new mobo

Ive never had that problem

I must be missing something here lol

anyway..current mobo doesn't allow for internet installs of bios updates so i have to dl it separately and install via usb stick thru dedicated port

bleezer, steam hates me

Ya it seems so lol

anyway...the system of installing bios updates via internet had a serious flaw...it could be hacked

Oh bios updates fcked you

Yaaaa that can happen

so most good mobo makers went back to the tried and true method of dl bios update then install via usb stick

while machine was off internet
