Glad I now use a different password for every online account i have, i probably should change my Nvidia forums pass, however i dont care enough about it to. I signed up to ask something 4/5 years ago and never used the forums again.

Dear NVIDIA Forum User,

We suspended operations of the NVIDIA Forums last week in response to suspicious activity and immediately began an investigation. We apologize that our continuing investigation is taking this long. Know that we are working around the clock to ensure that secure operations can be restored.

Our investigation has identified that unauthorized third parties gained access to some user information, including:

? username

? email address

? hashed passwords with random salt value

? public-facing ?About Me? profile information

NVIDIA did not store any passwords in clear text. ?About Me? optional profiles could include a user?s title, age, birthdate, gender, location, interests, email and website URL ? all of which was already publicly accessible.

NVIDIA is continuing to investigate this matter and is working to restore the Forums as soon as possible. We are employing additional security measures to minimize the impact of future attacks.

All user passwords for our Forums will be reset when the system comes back online. At that time, an email with a temporary password, along with instructions on how to change it, will be sent to your registered email address.

As a precautionary measure, we strongly recommend that you change any identical passwords that you may be using elsewhere.

NVIDIA does not request sensitive information by email. Do not provide personal, financial or sensitive information (including new passwords) in response to any email purporting to be sent by an NVIDIA employee or representative.

Check back on the NVIDIA Forums for updates.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Massive leak reveals Galaxy Z Fold7, new watches, and more

      Obviously, you're clueless that there can be bendable screen material like sapphire that have none of such concerns. Sure, do exactly what the manufacturer cautions against doing and enjoy the damaged device, you and your cash. It's also a fact that I've never had to worry about my Note 9's screen getting damaged by merely my fingernails, S-Pen, or anything in my pocket. I ain't paying a premium for a device that disposes loads of functionality of my Note 9, and adds worries of durability for merely a slightly bigger screen. That's just a dumb downgrade in my book. Until these foldables get to the point of being just as durable/waterproof/dustproof all around without loss of functionality, or match/surpass the versatility of the Surface Pro 4-in-1 lineup, adding the Smartphone form-factor to the mix, they're just overpriced jokes in my book.

      You answered your own question. That "limited" feature set is what's being improved here with the continued improvement of NPUs. Eventually, they'd offer everything required to locally host models like DeepSeek or even better. That's what all the capitalist tech giants were thinking until DeepSeek R1 landed for free...
    • Excel for Windows is making it much easier to fetch data from external sources

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Excel for Windows is making it much easier to fetch data from external sources by Usama Jawad Microsoft Excel is a highly popular spreadsheet software across personal, enterprise, and education environments. Those familiar with the tool know that it does not only allow data crunching, but also offers other capabilities on top of it, such as visualizations, Python support in Excel, Copilot integration, and more. But what good is all of that if you can't efficiently fetch the data that you actually want for your analysis? Microsoft is now working around this problem in its Insider channels. Excel currently has a Get Data option under the Data tab that allows customers to connect to external data sources such as files, databases, and cloud platforms and transform the data in Power Query. However, this drop-down menu for sources is not really intuitive and you need to figure out the nesting criteria to get to the sub-menu item that you actually need. Microsoft realizes that this is a significant problem and is impacting workflows, and as such, it is now implementing a solution. The new mechanism features a revamped dialog box under Get Data (Preview). It offers popular and recommended data sources in the default view, but customers can also click the New button in the navigation pane on the left to view all available data sources. Additionally, OneLake data artifacts on the Fabric platform can be accessed through the OneLake button in the same navigation panel. There is also a handy search bar functionality, which means that you don't need to scroll through a seemingly endless list of data sources to find what you actually need. This is certainly a welcome change and makes the retrieval of data from external sources much more streamlined. The revamped dialog box is currently available to Beta Channel customers running Version 2505 (Build 18829.20000) or later in Excel for Windows. Microsoft has cautioned that the OneLake catalog currently supports Lakehouses and Warehouses, but other artifacts are coming soon too.
