Be wary of Digital River and Minitool Partition Wizard software
Not sure I am in the right section with this topic but here is my issue:
On 1-3-2024, I purchased Minitool Partition Wizard which is affiliated with Digital River GBH to perform data migration. I had used their freeware version previously with good results and decided to go ahead and buy the annual subscription to this software using PayPal for $52.06. I later learned that this software version was autorenewing and since I only needed it once, I cancelled the subscription. I received confirmation of this cancellation on 1-3-2025. However, Digital River/Minitool PW charged my PayPal account for renewal on 1-2-2025 without my authorization. I requested the company refund the amount charged to my PayPal and was denied. Since then, I have received various communications from Digital River/Minitool PW from different employees all seeking to justfiy not refunding the unwanted 1-2-2025 purchase amount. My last communication with them was this morning and I expressed my opinion that refusing me a refund is tantamount to theft.
If anyone has any suggestions on resolving this matter, I am all ears. However, I have researched Digital River GBH with results suggesting they are a company in financial stress. There may be no satisfactory resolution for me, as in refund, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up. As the title to this thread says: Be wary of Digital River and Minitool Partition Wizard software.

Re: What the heck is a "computator"???

I know this is an old thread, but i just watched thay episode of 'How Its Made' today. To answer your question, the computator is the digital display showing the speed of the processor. They were common in 80486 computers and in the early days of the pentiums. They were used early on with computers that had a Turbo button, to show you that the speed really did change.
Do they still make computators that are compatible with modern PCs, and if so where can I buy one?

Hi Frank! Great to see you 😊
The site is a little slow these days, and most of the core community uses Discord to chat, BUT: We're planning on rebooting the site with better software in the near future. Trust that Icrontic is thriving, and we'd love to see you around more!
Re: Anyone still having fun with overclocking?
I have pretty much abandoned OC in favor of an undervolt because Texas summer. Pushed my infinity fabric as far as it would go and then started pulling the voltage down until it was effecting core speed in a measurable amount. Have the higher wattage BIOS on my 3080 but still built an undervolt profile for it which makes my room a lot cooler.

Re: Announcing the full Board of Trustees for 2024
On a personal level, I want to apologize for an omission in the rejection letters: There was no mention we were skipping the interview phase, which gave the impression folks had not been finalists. Every person who self-nominated was someone we wanted to interview if we moved forward with them, and I regret we gave any other impression.

Re: Hark! Icrontic's first Board of Trustees
That's all fine and dandy, but are you going to force the Hallocks to move to Michigan?

Ubisoft connect not working
I have not been able to get Ubisoft Connect to connect to play games. It returns an error, "a ubisoft service is not available". This has been going on for several days now and I have not found a fix. Online troubleshooting suggests downloading and reinstalling Ubisoft Connect which i have done but at install, I get a prompt that the version I am trying to install is older than the current version and the installation is aborted. Is anyone else having problems with Ubisoft Connect not working? Do you know of a fix? Thanks.
