Replacing my IronKey Flash Drive
I haven't used this myself yet but I've been looking into this type of software for my own use. I could be wrong but from what I've read it doesn't leave any footprint behind. The program runs directly from the USB drive itself and doesn't need to be installed on the computer you are using. -
WD Black bad sectors +1 every few months [and now gone]
I find it's always best to RMA the hard drive (if possible) as soon as you get 1 bad sector as the drive is going to die at some point or another. Plus this could mean the difference between it being under warranty or not. I've had to RMA a few drives over the years with WD and it's always... -
Replacing my IronKey Flash Drive
Any reason you don't just use encryption software independent of the USB manufacturer? This way you don't have to pay extra money for something that is free and you can pick any USB drive you want. Rohos » Products Rohos » Rohos Mini Drive This product is free up to an 8gb secured partition... -
Looking to buy a mattress in Toronto
Anyone know of a place to get a good deal on a bed in Toronto? I'm looking for a memory foam or a decent pillow top. Due to back/pain issues, I want to get a plush top with a firm support. I found a couple beds at the Brick Warehouse/Outlet store but their price was crap. They wanted to charge... -
Why's the GTX 970 so much cheaper in USA?
There are definite price disadvantages for some items in Canada vs the US. Take a look at any TV and you will find huge differences in pricing. You can easily see it in books and cars as well. The government has actually been talking about this discrepancy lately but as usual are going to...- Nodscene

What E-Sports do you follow? Favorite teams?
Ha! Thanks Skymtl :) I guess the closest I've come is watching youtube videos of people playing Minecraft or whatever so I can see the appeal. Especially for FPS or RTS games. -
first smart phone which accessaries should I get
I agree with most everyone. Get a case, a car phone charger, and a car docking device of some kind for using maps, although you only have 100mb so that may not be a good idea. I've never bothered with a screen protector and I don't have an issue with my S4. As others have said, turn off Wifi...- Nodscene

What E-Sports do you follow? Favorite teams?
Ok, it's official. I'm old. I have no clue what you guys are talking about haha. Ok, we sort of. I'm aware of video game sports but just never liked a game that had anything like that so I've never paid attention. I've watched a lot of documentaries about this...does that count :) -
thinking of switching to FM2+
How do you figure? I'm sure I could get more for my current setup than what it would cost me to get a more efficient computer not to mention the power savings. Sure it may not be a lot but if someones computer is overkill and they are only using 40% of it's capacity, then why keep it. That's...- Nodscene

Quick SDHC test on the cheap
This is completely unscientific and probably won't help all that much but I bought 3 different micro SDHC cards for my S4. The reason I went cheap is that my phone has already killed 2 of them so I wanted to try out a few different brands to see if it was just bad luck or if there is a problem... -
thinking of switching to FM2+
This is actually a good topic as I'm almost thinking of doing the same thing. Currently have a Z77 Sabertooth with an I5 3570, 16gb ram and 240gb SSD (plus a ton of hard drives) and while it's nice to have the extra power when I transcode movies do I really need this much? The only big thing is...- Nodscene

Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2014 PC Related Deals
Actually I do have a plasma, with about a billion hours on it haha. It's a Panasonic Viera S1 58" from 2009 and the picture is amazing. Miles ahead of any LED/LCD out there. As for the image retention, it doesn't really bother me too much to tell you the truth as it always goes away after a day... -
Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2014 PC Related Deals
I'd love to go Vizio myself but they have their fair share of problems as well and aren't the only tv's with FALD, although they are the only ones with their full line being that way. That being said they have some great prices on some of the larger sets. Hard to find them in Canada though. I... -
What SSD to switch to?
I believe mine came Friday as well via Purolator. Picked it up on Saturday. Now just trying to figure out what to do with my BNIB Crucial 256gb, Intel 730 240gb, and the Intel 320 120gb as I believe I already have an SSD in my laptop haha. Probably just use the Crucial as my download drive as... -
Should HWC review smartphones/tablets?
I'd love to see phone and tablet reviews here. Lots of changes going on and lots of inexpensive Chinese brands that would be great to have reviewed.- Nodscene

Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2014 PC Related Deals
I was hoping to see more great deals but I guess it's always the same in that there is more hype than anything. I haven't gone through all the black friday stuff yet but looks like that Intel SSD will be the big steal of the show so to speak. Other than that the next big one as far as I'm... -

That sucks, my drive just shipped so I can't even cancel it to get the 480 instead. -

Yeah, I missed the 480 as well but also went ahead with the 240. Too bad. -
What SSD to switch to?
I have no doubt as well. From my little bit of research, the Intel 335 or whatever is already a bit faster than the 320 I have, and a fair amount slower than the 730. Which still makes it a win/win for me even though I don't get the full interleaving or what have you. Plus all the benefits of an...
