    Who is still heavily using optical media ?

    I still love optical media for their long term durability in comparison to hard drives/flash memory. I still have a bunch of CD/DVDs that read just fine, they were copied to blu-rays. I also like the fact that it's read only. If you connect an old hard drive to your computer to restore a backup...

    56k Voice Modem Windows 10

    I've had my answering machine on my computer for 20 years for my landline phone. Now I'm not able to find a good voice modem anymore. The one that I had (PciE 1x) only has a Win8 driver and it was preventing me from upgrading Win10 to 20H9. I've removed it and plugged back a USB modem (Zoom)...

    2x120mm Noctua or 1x200mm Cooler Master?

    I have had a HAF912 case for the last 10 years and I like it. I have multiple fan options, however for the 200mm fans I can only install a Cooler Master one, the others 200mm do not fit. I only have 1 200mm and it's not that great. All the other fans I have are 120mm. I was looking to replace...

    X-570-Pro Prime BIOS update

    I've got a pretty old BIOS (as purchased) and I'm afraid to update as I've seen so many issues with the new versions. Is it worth it ? What does updating the BIOS brings ? I don't have any issue currently but I would like to have better PBO performance

    Been using Kaspersky Free Security Cloud as anti-malware and happy with it

    In case you are searching for a free good anti-malware, I find this one pretty good. If you want to pay, get MalwareBytes, it has proven to be solid, however Malwarebytes can slow down your computer a bit whereas I didn't see any lags or slowdown with Kaspersky yet.

    Who needs more than 550 Watts really

    There are so many power supplies over 550 Watts, but I wonder who really needs that, unless you have a quad SLI/Crossfire. I have 16 and 24 cores here and I'm fine with 550 Watts.

    How is it possible that TLC gets more endurance than MLC

    2 weeks ago I discovered that my trusty 970 Pro with MLC NAND had lower endurance rating then a MP510 with the same capacity. How is this possible ? Was there any test done to prove that ? Because on the MP510 once the NAND is filled it will start to reorganize the data and this causes wear...
