I meant criminal cryptominers can use energy from other victim's computers infecting them with a malwares that run crypto mining scripts. And I believe they can do it even with mobile apps, some free apps for example you can find online. I can't be 100% sure but sometimes I think even EGS client can mine pc because unnecessary slow downs while running it.

Ohhh, I see. True, but hard to miss...I doubt EGS does it, pretty sure they just can't code for shit. They couldn't even tell me what a Windows error code was in the installer, turns out it was missing a Windows Installation package native to Win 10 and not Win 7, but easily downloadable.

Fixed it like 9 months after I directed them to it specifically :LOL:

Gather up, boys and gals so that grandpa tells you another "Once upon a time in a penny arcade..."!
Did you know that things like wondering what would XXX version of Lara Croft or Solid Snake look like was something people (OK, mostly kids and teens) were very eager to know even before the internet?

Or, in this case, it was Mario and Princess Peach - although, they didn't have those names yet, at least not in the Donkey Kong game. I was growing up in times when arcades were one of the most popular places for kids and young people - even for some older guys. So, being a bunch of 10 years and 11 years old boys and started noticing differences between boys and girls - we were in awe when we learned "the greatest secret of all time": apparently, if you beat all the levels of Donkey Kong, you'll see Mario and Princess nude, making love.

And it's true! Those older boys, 17 or 18 yo, told us - I mean, why would they lie to us, right? The problem was: Donkey Kong isn't an easy game. You can beat the first level, but when you come to conveyer belts and other levels, it's really hard to beat it. So, obviously, we should gather our resources (allowance money) and give all to the best among us.

I sort of gave up and was just tagging along because I didn't really care about Mario and Princess and was madly in love with that sweet blonde with pigtails from my neighbourhood - the same one I'll help 5 or 6 years later to play Amidar - and, most importantly, I sucked at Donkey Kong.

They really collected money and, while those 18 yo were probably laughing somewhere behind them, they "trained" for a month - and they beat the game... Well, not really beat it because it started again from level 1.

Yeah, we were angry at those "old men" (because to 10 yo kids everyone above 15 is almost ready for retirement) but we were again in awe when they explained to us that we need to beat it 10 times, from level 1 to the new level 1, in one playthrough.

Well, many piggy banks were smashed that summer but we never saw that fabled sex scene... At least I was better luck because I shared my first kiss that summer with my sweet pigtailed neighbour.

I doubt Egs does it too but they're not saints and their client slowdown everything and takes a lot of bandwith, sometimes I couldn't even open pages and I even disabled automatic updates.. It's weird..
ehm sometimes it is better find solutions by ourselves or on tech forum you can find better advices then what customer care can give.
