<p>In addition to the fake seizure notice, AlphV changed their tox account status to “GG” (good game), again suggesting an exit scam. </p>

schestowitz[TR2]

<p> The fake notice and “GG” appeared consistent with what DataBreaches had been told by a source who had been involved with AlphV. That source told this site that a re-branding had already been in the works, and this just may have sped things up. That source also reiterated that Change Healthcare had paid Alphv as the affiliate had claimed, although Change Healthcare / Optum decl

<p>Without any fanfare, the company updated the Windows Subsystem for Android documentation page on its website and included a message stating that WSA won't be supported as of March 5, 2025. The Amazon App Store app, which is required to use and install WSA, is set to disappear from the Microsoft Store as soon as March 6, 2024. However, according to Amazon, users will still be able to downlo

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-tl.net | Burning smell, smoke, and flashes from my monitor.

schestowitz[TR2]

schestowitz[TR2]

Hello all.

schestowitz[TR2]

Using a LG l19WT-SF (Flatron)

schestowitz[TR2]

My monitor has been bugging me for about 3 days now

schestowitz[TR2]

It started started off with a very high frequency whine which would eventually stop about 10-15 minutes after turning the monitor on.

schestowitz[TR2]

So i figured that a capacitator must have gone / is in the process of going. No biggie.

schestowitz[TR2]

Then i started noticing that the monitor would fade to black before its 'inactivity period is up' this happened once or twice, so i put it down to randomness and ignored it.

schestowitz[TR2]

Also note that there is a very faint electrical burning smell that permeates my room - my nose led me to the back of the monitor where it was strongest. Googled it and apparently it can be common with some LCDs - ok so ignored that too.

schestowitz[TR2]

Fast forward to earlier today:

schestowitz[TR2]

Screen starts flickering during final mission of HOTS campaign - FU.

schestowitz[TR2]

Stop the game and look behind monitor to see a plume of white smoke, and a series of tiny fireworks shooting off inside the back panel. da fuq?

schestowitz[TR2]

Aside from the flickering - still works fine, turns on / off on problem.

schestowitz[TR2]

Now my room stinks of this electrical burning smell.

schestowitz[TR2]

was just posting to ask you guys: Do i need a need a new monitor or should i just keep using my current one, and would it have damaged my gfx card / mobo in anyway? also is the power supply cable to monitor still good? or the cable that connects the monitor to the gfx card?

schestowitz[TR2]

Any help would be much appreciated

schestowitz[TR2]

TL:DR: Monitor started emitting white smoke. Electrial sparks / fireworks in back panel during the smoke. Stinks like burning.

schestowitz[TR2]

DO i need a new monitor? are my cables compromised? can my gfx card / mobo be fucked?

schestowitz[TR2]

thanks !

schestowitz[TR2]

EDIT: Monitor is like 7 years old"

schestowitz[TR2]: sorry to ask you like this, it might sound rude but your question sounds like some kind of joke to me, are you kidding me?

schestowitz[TR2]

which question?

schestowitz[TR2]

the above is not me

parsifal

for the monitor

schestowitz[TR2]

i quoted a URL

schestowitz[TR2]

i have a similar monitor

schestowitz[TR2]

same iissue

parsifal

how do i understand this, are you actually having this problem?

Mar 07 13:06

schestowitz[TR2]

i looked that up

Mar 07 13:08

schestowitz[TR2]

the forum threads suggest there is no fix

Mar 07 13:08

schestowitz[TR2]

the monitor must be discarded

Mar 07 13:08

parsifal

I agree, as soon as smoke comes out and there is a constant intrusive smell of burnt textolite, plus the presence of sparks, this suggests that somewhere there is a circuit short or some element is defective.

parsifal

everything listed so far is dangerous, starting with the fact that it can break out somewhere and give you a serious electric shock, go through lighting the monitor and causing a fire, and getting to the fact that the fumes from the burning textolite from the circuit board are not the best and good thing for health.

schestowitz[TR2]

this monitor died around 2017

schestowitz[TR2]

after i had bought it in ebay

schestowitz[TR2]

used it for about a year

schestowitz[TR2]

yesterday i gave it a second chance

schestowitz[TR2]

but nothing improved in about 7 years

Mar 07 13:11

parsifal

throw away that old monitor, which most likely already has a burned-out matrix anyway, and it's no good looking at it all day. the only problem is that it's hard to find new 19-20-21 inch monitors if you're used to one.

Mar 07 13:11

schestowitz[TR2]

yes

schestowitz[TR2]

that is not an issuee

schestowitz[TR2]

i have 7 monitors

schestowitz[TR2]

my wife uses 5

schestowitz[TR2]

this one is redundant

schestowitz[TR2]

i just wondered if anything improved

schestowitz[TR2]

and then, if prospects of repair exist

parsifal

even if there is potentially a hypothetical possibility to fix the problem, from an economic point of view such a move is not expedient, because at the prices of service services, with the price you will pay in the service you will be able to buy a new monitor.

Mar 07 13:24

parsifal

a repair would only be justified if you can do it yourself and have the parts you need available

"A very interesting text, as usual, and a very intriguing judgement. I think it is worth clarifying a few things for potential readers. <br /><br />First of all, in relation to the liability of hosting providers, it should be noted that the DSA provides for exemptions for all types of liability, as stated in recital 17 of the DSA:<br /><br />"Furthermore, the exemptions from liability established in this Regulation should appl

This therefore refers to both primary and secondary civil, criminal and administrative liability.<br /><br />However, the provisions of Article 17 of the DSM Directive are lex specialis to the DSA and do not affect the concept of public communication of a work. It is therefore a leg

al fiction that even if there is no communication of a work within the meaning of the InfoSoc Directive, it is still deemed to take place if the conditions of Article 17 of the DSM Directive are met (primarily as not new, unless "popular", OCSSPs, see Article 17(6)). This is clearly confirmed by the European Commission's Communication COM(2021) 288 final (and the aforementioned DSA recitals): <br /><br />"Article 17

schestowitz[TR2]

is a lex specialis to Article 3 of Directive 2001/29/EC and Article 14 of Directive 2000/31/EC. It does not introduce a new right in the Union’s copyright monopoly law. Rather, it fully and specifically regulates the act of ‘communication to the public’ in the limited circumstances covered by this provision ‘for the purposes of this Directive’. This is confirmed by Recitals 64 and 65. Recital 64 states that Article 17 do

es not affect the concept of communication to the public or of making content available to the public elsewhere under Union law 5 , nor does it affect the possible application of Article 3(1) and (2) of Directive 2001/29/EC to other service providers using copyright-protected content. Recital 65 states that whilst Article 14 of Directive 2000/31 does not apply to the liability under Article 17, this should not affect its applicatio

n to such service providers for purposes falling outside the scope of the Directive. Due to the lex specialis nature of Article 17, the Member States should specifically implement this provision rather than relying simply on their national implementation of Article 3 of Directive 2001/29/EC.""
