    SAP Concur Authenticator App? How to avoid using my phone?

    Passwords are becoming irrelevant. Computing power is to the point where complex passwords with long length can be broken easier and easier every day. Ive told my people at work when they bring on a new hire, if the new hire isn't assigned a phone (only IT people get one) that their options...

    SSD drives versus USB flash drives for backup storage

    It seems like you aren't listening to anyone and are just trying to defend your decision to be cheap. A $20 1TB usb drive is a scam.

    Intel CEO Sees ‘Green Shoots’ Emerging

    AI isn't ready. It will never be ready as long as the people that program it have biases. The scary part is how many AI systems can be turned in to rabid racists or develop languages of their own and talk without the people in charge knowing what is being said. Terminator wasn't a blueprint...

    Microsoft Rewrites Activation Rules For Windows 10

    I love these threads. If I change my motherboard and processor why can't I keep windows activated for the new motherboard and combo AND keep it activated for the old one that I've decided to make another computer out of??? People will spend $700 on a video card but not $100 on an OS LICENSE.
