    Good cross platform authenticator app?

    I still use Authy. I installed the windows app but never used it so dont feel the need to migrate when it's pulled. The multi device and backup options of Authy still make it a suitable solution for me. I dont use auto fill as feel its a little step backwards in security if someone was to get...

    I would appreciate any guidance on the following build ~(£2k)

    Given you only intend to game have you considered an AMD build with an X3D chip?

    When are you going fully electric?

    I'm not going to change your opinion on this, but I'm at a loss for words as to how you believe halogens are as effective as modern lighting solutions. My matrix LED lights make night time driving like driving in the day. They segment where appropriate to give a better combination of flood...

    When are you going fully electric?

    Main beams and dipped have different beam patterns. So no, there isnt a link between brightness and dazzling in this sense. I suspect you very much know this though. I'll never own a car with halogens in again, more fool me for spending the money for no benefit I guess.

    Move. If your device is lost/damaged/destroyed then you cannot restore Google 2FA codes.

    When are you going fully electric?

    Uhm, have you ever driven a car with modern non halogen lights on? Personally, the benefit cannot be understated. From a safety point of view the consistent, cleaner and brighter light makes feel like driving with halogens hazardous. Halogens put light on the road, yes. But there is a reason...

    What is the best road tyre for Sports Bike?

    I've got a set of PR6s coming for the 1290 now. My current metzlers have plenty of tread left but are 7 years old now and are a little squared off. I've read the PR6s have a more linear turn in which I am looking forward to trying as sometimes the metzlers feel like they quickly fall into...

    When are you going fully electric?

    Halogens cannot in any way be described as good compared to any HID, LED or Laser lighting technology. Thinking otherwise is pure cope. I get dazzled more often by poorly adjusted halogens than anything else. At least HID/LED/Laser has auto levelling as a requirement and is far less likely to...

    Good cross platform authenticator app?

    That's a migration which requires your old device. If its lost/stolen/destroyed then you are SOL.

    Good cross platform authenticator app?

    Google Authenticator is terrible IMO. You can't backup or export your 2FA which means if you lose/migrate from your primary device you are going to be using backup codes/other means of resetting 2FA on lots of accounts.

    Clean CPU Block?

    These days most cold plates are coated, ordinarily nickel.

    Clean CPU Block?

    The ammonia content wont play very nicely with copper either. I think they use quartz as the abrasive element.

    12VHPWR already obsolete

    You shouldn't need a new PSU if it's 12VHPWR on the psu side either as the 12V-2x6 is specific to the female connector GPU side and not the cable and in most cases will be backwards compatible.

    Clean CPU Block?

    Brasso is 100% abrasive. It has to be otherwise it couldn't be classed as a polish.

    5900X vs. 7000 series worth it?

    It really depends on the circumstances and games. For me going from a 3900x to a 7800X3D saw some titles go from 120fps to 220 and that was only on an RTX 2080 at 2560x1440. I can easily see how some games wont see any benefit however and unless you really need to change I'd stick it out on...

    Clean CPU Block?

    Super thin. On really old blocks you can see the copper flashing through just from normal use.

    Clean CPU Block?

    I've always just used isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush for block cleaning. If the o-ring needs cleaning then just water and light rub (oooerr!) Then a light coating with silicone grease most of which gets rubbed off before reinstalling.

    Motherboard for 7800x3d for DCS and Squad 44

    I have the B650 Auros Elite AX and its perfectly fine. The only thing that I had issues with was the bare board Q Flash Plus but it supported the 7800X3D out of the box anyway. No PCI-E 5.0 on the GPU slot but I very much doubt that will be an issue for many years yet.
