Enthusiast dunks 1080 Ti into car transmission fluid & runs overclocking experiments with a Dodge Journey transmission cooler as a radiator — DIY immersion cooling rig delivers 7% to 16% gains

A tinkerer on Reddit has taken immersion cooling way too seriously. Using ATF, yes, transmission fluid, an enthusiast dipped a GTX 1060 and a 1080 Ti to run some overclocking experiments. Turns out, the transmission actually helped the 1060 quite a bit faster, but the 1080 Ti only exhibited mild improvements.

Is a hacker logged into your Google account? Here’s how to find out

Is a hacker logged into your Google account? Here’s how to find out

If you live in a more populated area, you likely check your doors before bed to make sure they’re locked. The same idea is worthwhile to apply to your vital online accounts, too—verifying that they’re secure. In that vein, a periodic review of devices logged into your Google account is a good idea. If someone’s stolen your password, you should be aware of that unauthorized access to all your email, photos, videos, and other files. A hacker isn’t the only person to be worried about, either. A romantic partner, roommate, family member, or friend could decide to spy on you, too. You should be sure that only the right people have access. To see which devices are logged into your Google account, you can use either on a PC or your phone. If you spot any intruders, remove them—and then also change your password to prevent future unauthorized logins. On a PC The fast way to check is to head directly to google.com/devices . Otherwise you can go the manual route: Open a page for a Google service (search, Gmail, etc) Click your profile icon at the top right of a browser window Choose Manage your Google Account Click Security on the left side of the page Scroll down to Your devices Click on Manage all devices Look over the list of devices logged into your accounts. For any you don’t recognize, click on them, and then choose Sign out button in the top section of this info screen. PCWorld In the Google app On either Android or iOS, open the Google app Click your profile icon at the top right Choose Manage your Google Account Choose Security from the tabs along the top Scroll down to Your devices Tap on Manage all devices Check through the devices logged into your account. If one looks unfamiliar, tap on it for more details. To boot it from access, tap the Sign out button under the device’s information. (It’s toward the top.) Declutter your linked apps and services, too For a Google account, your biggest concern about unauthorized access should be unfamiliar devices logged in. But you should be cautious about third-party services linked to your Google account, too. Defunct or abandoned third-party apps and services could get taken over by hackers, who can then abuse the permissions you may have granted those other accounts. Or, on the flip side, hackers can take over abandoned Google accounts (like say, for a shuttered business) and reactivate them to gain access to linked third-party apps and services. Either way, cleaning house helps reduce this risk—you can read how in our quick guide for how to wipe those forgotten apps linked to your Google account .

Apple Says 11-Inch MacBook Air and Two Other Macs Are Now Obsolete

Apple Says 11-Inch MacBook Air and Two Other Macs Are Now Obsolete

Apple today added three Macs to the obsolete products list on its website, including the final model of the MacBook Air with a smaller 11-inch display. The three Macs that are now obsolete: MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2015) MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 4 Thunderbolt 3 Ports) MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) A device becomes "obsolete" once more than seven years have passed since Apple stopped distributing it for sale. Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers typically do not repair obsolete products, but Apple says MacBooks may be eligible for battery replacements for up to 10 years after distribution ended, subject to parts availability. Apple discontinued the 11-inch MacBook Air following its October 2016 event, moments after introducing the first MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar. Given that the 11-inch MacBook Air was just added to the obsolete list now, however, it likely remained available through select resellers until at least some point in 2018. The current MacBook Air has 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch display size options. If you wish there was a smaller-screened MacBook, know that Apple is rumored to be planning a new 12.9-inch MacBook powered by the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip. Apple also added iPhone 8 Plus models with 64GB and 256GB of storage to the vintage products list on its website today. Apple considers a device to be "vintage" once more than five years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers can continue to offer repairs for vintage products until they become fully obsolete two years later, subject to parts availability. Apple announced the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in September 2017, alongside the iPhone X.
