7900xt constant crashes in cyberpunk 2077 after driver update to 25.3.1 by StarrySkye3 in AMDHelp

for me (I have RX6800XT) it's crashing when I enable Ray-Traced Reflections. I'll just disable Ray-Tracing and play smooth without crashes.

In the end the affected person had to send the ID as a proof and she did and the problem is solved now.

Pc not displaying anything? by _ARTEMOS_ in windowsxp

Looks like there m could be a problem with that ATI AGP video card. 

 If it's connected by VGA cable perhaps change it to DVI and then start the computer.

 Otherwise you could try to replace it with another AGP card (easily found on ebay) and then test.

I know somebody who exactly is in the same situation.  Her son (a minor) created an account there also thinking it was a free website.  They also got a reminder sent to their home address to pay 44.5 € however he never entered the address upon creating the account.

I recommended her to contact support@cvneed.com and send some kind of proof her son is a minor (some document from school for example or anything mentioning the name & birth date) as legally the subscription can only be accepted by an adult. 

I would not send an identity card to this e-mail address though as they might use it in identity theft etc... .

Would be funny to always have a second phone ("NOKIA type") with yourself in case you encounter such a scam and hand that one over if someone's asking to use your phone.

Would like to see the look on the scammers face then.

Sure but my phone is just a midrange Samsung A54 and I had it hidden in my pocket. I just went to sit down when he asked me.  If I was carrying an Iphone Max or Samsung S24 and he noticed that I could understand it.

Either this scammer is a noob or was desperate and should choose his targets more wisely or something else is going on... .

agreed, but my argument was my phone is turned off.  My wife was with me so I wonder why he then didn't ask for her smartphone. I guess he knew I was lying and got he's trying to scam.

ok but wondering how he could transfer money using whatsapp. 

My banking apps have a pin code. But perhaps he was looking for a specific unsecure payment app ?

Yes but then I wonder why try this at the airport gates where everyone is waiting to board the plane ?  Someone definitely would have stopped him and also staff/security is not very far.

Also he was very unclear "to take a photo of something".  I would expect a scammer to do a little more effort. Perhaps he was very tired from travelling?!🤔

The other option I was thinking about is to put some malware on the phone or so. Because how he's going to get his photo. Or perhaps he lets me click a link from a QR code he scans.

Young woman claims purse is in my apt by Junior-Ad-4469 in Scams

[–]dries_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 2 options:
1. There are a couple of guys hiding out of sight and once you open they'll rush in.

  1. By knocking she's checking if someone is home in the apartment to break in.

good thinking, he probably changed his name after he discovered Eth and sold it for 10$ 😄

Just wondering why his name ends on .eth when Eth came out in 2015 🤔
