RTX 4090 Undervolt Starting off, undervolting is basically lowering the GPUs voltage which results in lower power consumed. As power is directly related to energy, less amount of heat is produced on undervolting. Besides, semiconductors are susceptible to high voltages so undervolting directly increases the lifespan of your GPU. Over a course of 5 games, the RTX 4090 showed impressive results on lowering the PL (Power Limit). At 347W of power, the GPU maintained a 100% FPS ratio, which is our reference point....

Back in Jan, 2022, Twitter received a report from its Bug bounty program about a potential vulnerability. This is exactly what was exploited recently, and pertains to accounts where people had submitted an email address or phone number to Twitter’s systems.

Plex informed potentially affected users through an email, urging them to reset their passwords immediately. It seems the attackers were only able to target one of Plex’s databases, so the breach should only affect a section of Plex’s users. The company only detected the breach when they noticed suspicious activity on that database. This is not the first time the company is dealing with a cyber attack. Back in 2015, the Plex forum was hit in a major hack, and the attacker was able to obtain user data from there....

However, the functionality of the SM Bus Controller does not end at simply allowing an Operating System to communicate with and control hardware components such as PSUs and cooling fans. The SM Bus Controller can also be used by a computer for monitoring purposes as many laptop computers use their SM Bus Controllers to keep their battery and temperature levels in check. In addition, the SM Bus Controller also has a lot of potential to be adapted to a number of other purposes, as evidenced by the fact that some developers have managed to use it to load and install firmware onto devices more easily....

Using the default Management Utility for Storage Management Every storage ware in an IT environment features its own default management software. However, as a network grows larger and you add more storage arrays then this management method becomes less practical. This is not made any better by what seems like a deliberate failure by the storage array vendors to support a unified management system. This can be viewed as an attempt by them to force organizations into implementing a complete network infrastructure from one vendor....

Understanding Virtualization Virtualization is the creation of software-based/virtual instances of various components in your IT environment. This could be servers, applications, storage, or even networks. And one of the biggest advantages of virtualization is the reduction in operating costs while increasing productivity. Now instead of having multiple physical servers for different operating systems, you can use a virtual server which allows you to run multiple Operating systems concurrently. As a system admin, you can also split a single server to perform tasks that would have otherwise needed separate servers....

But that hasn’t stopped companies and individual developers from making something similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island. A while back, an MIUI theme developer was able to get ‘Dynamic Island’ styled notifications on the lockscreen. Although, the final experience left a lot to be desired. Finally, it seems someone has a winner in their hands. The recently released DynamicSpot app is probably the smoothest implementation of a ‘Dynamic Island’ styled notification system on Android....

A 4-Fan Design The quad fan configuration may confuse many, however, the 4th and final fan is placed at the GPU’s back. This is an interesting cooling idea, however, the effectiveness is yet to be measured. Videocardz mentions that the Serious Gaming lineup (4 fans) has been seen across NVIDIA’s Ampere aswell.

What Exactly Does TTFN Mean? TTFN is not just a simple way to say goodbye. But, it has a much better meaning attached to it. Goodbye would mean ‘the end’ of a conversation, or a meet up. But TTFN, means that this goodbye is just for now, and that you will meet them (the people whom you are saying goodbye to) again. The very first time that I heard of this acronym was in the animated cartoon, ‘Winnie the Pooh’, I am sure most you know about it....
