    Question If you have USB 3 or above devices ...

    Indeed, I've bought a few drives from ebay traders that had "shucked" them back when that was the rage. Also I bought many drives ripped from laptops that were upgraded before being resold. Especially after SSD became the latest fad. I guess the economics depend on the current situation, so...

    Question If you have USB 3 or above devices ...

    Exactly. For the cheapest of these enclosures, replacing the cable with a decent one is almost what you paid for the enclosure. Still, it can be a good path to take.

    Question If you have USB 3 or above devices ...

    I imagine those name brand external drives are pretty expensive, so with a huge profit margin, they can likely afford to supply at least a decent cable. Even some of the cheap enclosures will occasionally have a cable that actually works for a good while. I have one $6 enclosure that's had no...

    Make antimalware service executable less annoying?

    I also have an even older dell laptop I use occasionally, an i7 machine running win 11, and I don't have this problem. I think its a 3rd generation i7. I really don't have a solution for you, but be real sure to check all windows settings (especially the windows defender/antivirus) and make...

    Discussion Did M$ just kill a whole class of utilities (PC speed optimizers/ registry cleaners etc.) ?

    Thanks guys. I watched the tutorial. It looks like a lot of fluff to me. I think I'll pass on it because it doesn't really do much that you can't do with normal windows tools, and a few extra programs like revo uninstaller, etc. Plus you have to be SUPER careful to uncheck lots of stuff, or...

    Yeah, last order i did was for a two pack of amazon basics rechargeable batteries. They sent ONE battery. After complaining, I received the original 2-pack as ordered, so I came out a battery ahead. Still not worth all the hassle though.

    How does one know EXACTLY what he'll get after ordering from such a page? I can't figure it out. That's one reason I rarely order from bezos. So much rubbish on each product page, but I guess it worked for him, cause he's flying around in his spaceship :)

    The amazon page says it uses a AAA battery. Some of the reviews mention it too. I han't figure out what the hell it's for.
