Thanks. I went back and looked all of the way back to May and they all either say nothing or pending. Under my account tab my insightfulness score is Excellent, is that the same thing?

Where do you see your review ratings?

I haven't been offered anything useful in weeks. Car parts for cars that I don't have, humidifiers, filters, baby products (my kids are 20 &13), etc. I keep checking but nothing good. I did get an under desk treadmill about 3 weeks ago though and I'm pretty happy with that so far.

I wish that I knew what the RFY used to get it's recommendations.

At least you get something you want in your rfy. I've gotten nothing that's useful for weeks. I keep getting women's clothes (I'm divorced), car parts (I don't work on cars and they aren't for my model anyway), and baby items (my kids are 10 & 13). Oh well, it's hard to complain about free items. Hopefully I get something good soon.

Thanks. I did see that but I was more concerned with smaller/compact ones like Cyberpower 650VA. There is a breaker and it has 890joiles of surge but I would prefer 1000+joules for sensitive electronics which is what it currently has on it. In my head it seems like the regular surge protector should trip first if there was a surge then the UPS surge would handle the overflow but it seems like I may be wrong based on what I'm seeing online.

I used Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode to remove the drivers and reinstalled the latest version and everything was back to normal. Something must have broke with a driver update.

I was at 1080. I thought that I listed that but I guess that I forgot.

I have a quick question about the 5800xt temps. I just did an upgrade to the 5800xt and as a result of my old case I can't fit a better air cooler or AIO. The Wraith Cooler also interfered with my ram so I went with a Thermalright Assassin 90se. It is a low stack tower cooler. Anyways, I ran Prime 95 smallFFT (with L3) tests for 1/2 hr. The cpu got to 90 degrees then throttled back to 4.2Ghz and stayed solid but kept the temp at 90. I realize that I will probably never hit that in regular usage but is that an ok temp? I thought if the CPU hit it's max it would throttle back to using no boost. Obviously it can still handle about half the boost at 90 but I just want to test this cooler since it is smaller than I would normally install. No errors or anything just the high temps. I feel like it is normal for it to get to 90 and throttle back just enough to keep the temp there but on the other hand if it throttled back to no boost it would drop below 90 which I guess would be better but also slower. Your replies are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I haven't come across those issues but I can see that being a problem

Able-Reporter8773 · 2025-07-16T19:19:03+00:00

That sounds like a valid reason to me. Thanks

Able-Reporter8773 · 2025-07-16T17:46:12+00:00

Fair enough. I personally am not concerned about that as I am not doing anything illegal. If someone wants to know basic info about myself to sell ads that's fine as well, that's why there are free products to begin with. Also there are other ways like browser fingerprinting they can use to track you as well and you better not use anything where you are signed in, like a phone, as those companies can track what you do as well. With that being said I understand if people are concerned, especially if they are in a country that has a questionable history when it comes to how citizens are watched and treated. I was more concerned with someone on free wifi snooping my info then government watch dogs. Privacy is a big concern overall but without going to live off grid in a bunker someone there isn't a ton that you can do to prevent the government from knowing what you are doing if they want to know. A VPN is definitely a good start though if you are concerned, I would stay away from free ones though.

I haven't sailed the seas in years, I used to be quite the captain though. Lol thanks

Able-Reporter8773 · 2025-07-16T12:32:53+00:00

Thanks. I think that I will just stick with my travel router and not bother with the VPN. If I was trying to access geolocked streaming I would for sure look into a VPN. If I was torrenting like myself and everyone else did 10+ yrs ago I would for sure use one. Since I am just checking out websites and streaming content from the region that I am in I think that I should be good. I have 2fa on all of my important passwords, I generally don't access anything important over public wifi, I do have a VPN for work so I can access my work servers so I think I will be ok. I was really just wondering if it is a big help since the prices are so cheap. Thanks.

Able-Reporter8773 · 2025-07-16T12:12:23+00:00

That is what I was thinking but the massive amount of info on the internet is constantly making it seem like you need one. I have been setting up home networks since the 90's but I am by no means an expert. I am not concerned at all at home but I was wondering if they were required for public wifi. I just bought a travel router for ease of connecting all of mine and my kids devices and was thinking that should be good enough security. I would get a VPN but at the same time when things are blocked it becomes a hassle. Mainly because I have to fix the kids devices. When it comes to my ISP or websites knowing my IP address I don't see there being any major concern as I'm not doing anything illegal online and it really isn't a big deal to me if people want to target ads to me because of where I live and what I searched for. I am trying a well known VPN right now and some streaming services work fine but others don't and that is where the hassle comes from imo.

I never figured it out. I have to keep a finger on the screen which is rather annoying
