Here we go again.
I would have done this had my PSU not smoked itself to death. :v:
Why? Like, why bother with XSplit? :v:
[QUOTE=gk99;42791652]Why? Like, why bother with XSplit? :v:[/QUOTE] Agreed OBS is waaaay better.

Oh, geez. Is it really that hard to salt passwords? Great.
[QUOTE=uber.;42796337]Oh, geez. Is it really that hard to salt passwords? Great.[/QUOTE] Some Dev's are lazy, and simply hope that the system doesen't get breached. Salting isn't hard, and for the love of god, pray they aren't using MD5 to hash passwords.
[QUOTE=gk99;42791652]Why? Like, why bother with XSplit? :v:[/QUOTE] I used it before OBS became a thing.
May I ask what salting stored data does besides making it taste delicious?

[QUOTE=uber.;42796337]Oh, geez. Is it really that hard to salt passwords? Great.[/QUOTE] Yep. A lot of sites simply don't give two shits about account security. I got tired of that and simply started using a password manager a year or so back.
What's the point of resetting my password. If somebody broadcasted on my channel I might get more views.

They give you a free 6 months pro (Not much difference really but still a nice touch) if you're a student too. [url]https://lastpass.com/edupromo.php[/url]

[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;42791809]so when you log on else where on another installation it can get your stream keys without needing to re-enter them[/QUOTE] which is dumb, your stream key is meant to be kept as private as possible. It's not a massive inconvenience to re-enter your stream key occasionally. They shouldn't be stored on xsplit servers.
[QUOTE=Daniellynet;42799883]I use KeePass.[/QUOTE] Keepass is nice but I enjoy the 'cloud' synchronization of LastPass. The browser integration is much nicer too IMHO.
[QUOTE=gk99;42791652]Why? Like, why bother with XSplit? :v:[/QUOTE] Agreed. Why anyone would want to pay MONTHLY for this resource hogging piece of crap is beyond my understanding. I used the free version for a while and ditched it instantly when i found out about OBS.
