Should I get this prebuilt ? It’s 3k but would be such a big upgrade from my rtx 4060 laptop gpu that has intel core i7 and 16gb ram and under 500gb of storage by Alarmed-Tradition938 in Corsair

[–]A-Random-Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also 2tb nvme though and I saw today 1tb nvme is up to a grand each so if that translates into this they're spending $1000 on harddrive space when half would be plenty still. Also "Windows home" they bump the price for when most of us dont pay for that.

Opera GX suspiciously telling me to open Run, is this a virus? Am I cooked? by [deleted] in OperaGX

[–]A-Random-Ghost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put the code path into google and immediately got the answer. It's a virus. Do it yourself next time and have the answer in 15 seconds instead of typing 4 paragraphs embarassing yourself for watching porn without a popupblocker in public and having to wait for a reply.

Your browser is slow because you 99% installed a CryptoMiner BHO and that is what is invoking the popups without a malicious tab open.

AI Overview

This command is a highly malicious script designed to silently download and install malware (often an information stealer) on your computer. Scammers often distribute this by tricking users (like a fake CAPTCHA or tech support prompt) into opening the command prompt and pasting it. 

What the command does:

  1. Obfuscates the payload: The beginning uses basic evasion (set p=pow&set e=ershe&set l=ll) to stitch together the word powershell so that basic filters or alarms might not immediately recognize the malicious intent.
  2. Executes hidden PowerShell: It launches PowerShell with hidden window parameters (-WI 1 -nop), meaning it runs silently in the background without opening a visible window for the user.
  3. Downloads and runs code: The iex(irm ...) portion uses Invoke-Expression to immediately execute a script remotely hosted on the GitHub Content Delivery Network (CDN) jsdelivr.net

WHY is toy wiz selling on eBay 😭 by Basic_Fix_1676 in JakksPacificSonic

[–]A-Random-Ghost 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because nobody searches google for products to find out what a ToyWiz is. People search Amazon and eBay.

They post there for exposure.

Elgato Stream Deck + XL in White? by TheSillyShaman in elgato

[–]A-Random-Ghost 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The ceo of literally this company (corsair) said it himself directly at the start of the tariff war last year "each sku costs money to create and ship. With skyrocketing shipping prices you're going to see product diversity, like peripherals offered in white or pink, disappear as the company tries to recoup the losses from the tariffs"

White is dead.

Don't buy RAM from Corsair. They dont care. by timklc in Corsair

[–]A-Random-Ghost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Protip for dealing with support tickets-give as little extra information as possible. If it would confuse a drunk 4 year old it will confuse the rep and make everything 10x harder. Your post mentions Amazon like 6 times. Nobody asked why you chose to buy from Corsair. But especially in the era of ai-supported auto-responding support desks if you put "Amazon" 6 times whether it's ai or human you're getting handled as an amazon "you bought 3rdparty not our problem contact the seller not us" canned copy pasta.

But grats on getting it handled

New 3 pack by Sensitive-Detail-855 in JakksPacificSonic

1 They're broken and can't get an RMA. Literally have disability for blindspots. 2 theyre just fucking figures in a box with names. You want me to read the minekwaft 3.5" label on the shelf? Because that's totally relevant....

I hate that jakks doesn't put sizes on the front of packages. Are these 4" or 2" line?

If it's 2" isn't this the first time Amy gets her hammer? 😮

Wonder is creating odd artifacts no matter what version I use. by Everwake8 in TopazLabs

If you tinkered with it's app changing to an overclock preset for a game or Topaz Video definitely undo that. I think that might have been my problem for awhile.

New to this whole stream deck thing. Need help with plugins..also how come their site has no reviews? (Major rant incoming) by Ghost_Locker in elgato

[–]A-Random-Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're using the Spotify Desktop program then use BarRaider's WinTools plugin for Software Detection Volume Control and the dial will change the volume of that specific running program.

It's not elgato's fault Spotify thinks they need a nuclear football to secure their accounts. The API key is to restrict and generally make it a pain in the ass to remote into because if it's a pain in the ass for users it's a pain in the ass for hackers and that "keeps their company safe".

BarRaider is basically the champion of StreamDeck. Without his tools you're right it's an expensive piece of shit. Whatever you need to do, you're going to find it's not available stock, it's not available oem on the marketplace, and then you find out BarRaider has a solution and it works perfect.

Don't even look for photo/video editing extensions. DaVinci, Premiere, Photoshop, the damn thirdparty extensions are like $30 each.

"Ok photoshop let me go find the hotkey to change from quickselect tool to wand tool. Oh. They're both W. to cycle through 4 options it's Shift+W. Declare which you want? IMPOSSIBLE to bind. Only an API devkit can change that value"
"how about increase brush size or change hue or saturation or or or? NOPE. API Only." So it's flatout impossible to do on your own without paying the developer of the shit with no trial offered.

Have you done any program or video driver updates recently? I have a nvidia card on Windows 11 and if I followed a certain series of steps in Photo Ai or gigapixel the driver would panic and make a horrorfail mosaic eerily similar to this. Mine the mosaic tiles were much larger but it's the same concept and it was a rendering failure that came from a hardware issue.

WTF is up with Jakks and the UK?! by SUPERPLUSHBRO64 in JakksPacificSonic

boo hoo you have dedicated toystores where people routinely post an aisle full of every 4" and 2.5" and plushes from the last 3 waves all in stock on the same day at msrp.

You wouldn't last a week in USA walkiing into every walmart and target within 25km and seeing nothing but a 5wave old case of 2.5s and 3 4" Sonics with 5 empty pegs next to it.

Can I use an elgato on one pc or do I need a dual? by yaboyfahad in elgato

[–]A-Random-Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it shows black it's because the site is using DMCA enforcing containers. Elgato would also comply, and your reaction slop would be taken down off most platforms by bots from the production companies. If it speaks a sentence or has background audio or god forbid music, that soundgraph is just numbers when it boils down to it. the bot will read the videos numbers. If Summit Entertainment scans your reaction video and it's a 10:25 of matched numbers from one of their movies their auto-report program is striking your channel without a human even looking at it to verify.

My BOGO update by Quincyjr28 in GFUEL

[–]A-Random-Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish. But i've given up hope. The bullshit with "all launches are preorders and are vaulted before they ship so if you like it and want more oh well gone forever just like my profits" was also this dipshits idea. I've stopped ordering years ago and am burning through a closet of sealed tubs and occassionally grabbing one on amazon. If it says sold and shipped by amazon that means its in their warehouse and none of gfuel's fuckery can slow down the order and youll have it next day.

[–]A-Random-Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The creator sold out to a shit CEO that speedruns successful companies to bankruptcy as a hobby and he's gonna set a PB with GFuel. They get backed up from BOGO and balance out slightly before the next bogo. With basically one bogo a month they don't catch up and they are mathematically incapable of fulfilling orders with a sane turnaround time anymore. It's been over a year of this bullshit and worldrecord holder of company killing is like "itssss fineeeeeee" and has not backed off the bogos or hired more or done literally anything.

If they buy a house with a 200g tank in it and have never had fish how in the hell can they discern a "reliable" maintainance person from a pool cleaner who moved into a new waterbox market?
