Something along those lines is the most-likely explanation. Have you logged in to see if any activity occurred on the account? That's the best way. If you see random links being posted under your name it was probably just a mass-hack.

I logged in and checked things out, didn't notice anything suspicious. Either way I chose the "permanently delete account" option this time instead of the "delete your account until Chinese hackers brute force your password and reopen it a decade from now" option.

Any good phones to get? I could upgrade via Verizon in may but haven't done so yet

currently have galaxy s6 edge

@here

@Auf WI I have the S8+ and love it

just make sure you shop around a lot. Not sure what you can upgrade to with vzw but huawei and xiaomi make good phones as well

theyre all made in asia anyway

It's worth watching some comparison videos and "best phones of 2017" etc. That's how I ended up choosing the HTC 10 over Samsung last time, but I'd go with the Galaxy 8 Plus now.

Post the choices they're offering. A lot of times they don't offer the newest models for their upgrade program.

I am looking to upgrade my processor on my 2011 macbook pro. currently i have 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7. 1) what would you reccomend I upgrade to? 2) is this something i can do on my own or should i take it to an apple store or w/e?

<@&322715617138311171>

"Apple store" says the lazy Gen-X'er.

☝🏻

@Zyzz youre better off purchasing a new laptop

I'm not sure it can be done, but I do know if you take it to the Apple store you will spend a ton get not a whole lot in return

@Deleted User my macbook works fine i just want to upgrade it so i can play vidya

so dont really want to spend the money on a new computer

Dude it's going to be easily 500 and you're not going to get much in the way of a performance bump. 500 is 1/3 of what's required for a good new laptop or an even desktop

ok i see

Anyone know how long it takes to upload a video to Bit Chute? Seems to be taking a while.

Rather - the upload was quick but it has said "your video is being processed" for a long time.

Hey everyone. New to this server. I just landed an entry level IT job in an Atlantic city hotel. Was hoping some of you may be able to recommend some literature to get up to speed on networking and general break-fixing know-how for a guy brand new to the field.

Your best bet is to get familiar with the workings of windows or Linux or whatever OS you guys are using, there are good books easily found on just about every OS you could think of, and other resources online. Learning the OS should be the first thing you do before going onto more complex stuff in the field.

Also just joined but to add onto what Ash said, the majority of small account hacks are done by combo lists and crackers, like what he said they gather usernames and passwords from stolen databases of whatever site they get into and try those user:pass on other sites, it works extremely well because most people cba to mix it up a bit from site to site. I used to have a really big list and could get a ton of Spotifys and Netflix's pretty fast

So mix up your usernames or even just passwords from site to site

If you're breached on an account with an original password then you should start worrying, usually means they specifically intended to get into your account for specific reasons, otherwise it's not that big of a deal if you don't have sensitive info on the account, just change your passwords.

My computer failed recently, black screen on startup. The monitor is able to display menus, but nothing from the computer. So far I've replaced the dvi cable, power supply, and motherboard. Should I just scrap the whole thing? Build is about 6-7 years old

@Deleted User are you running a high-end graphics card?

I have two Radeon 6870s in xfire

I had a 650w power supply previously, maybe I succeeded in killing both cards?

The motherboard video didn't work either, though.

Had something similar happen to me. Turned out it was the graphics cards. Maybe the motherboard is shot?

I replaced the motherboard all ready, so it must be the cards somehow

Curious anyone know how to increase internet connection upload and download speed for gaming. My stuff has been very laggy lately at 400-800 kbps

Usually that depends on the service plan you have from your internet provider

If you're using wireless and have an old router or are using a USB stick for your wireless connection, that could be a bottleneck.

Do you know what your ping is?

ranges from 30-40 to 120-400 when it lags bad. I use an ATT modem

@Serg CA hey it also varies based on what server you are playing on

like you are west coast, play on west coast servers to stay sub 30
