Hi everyone, I’ve recently upgraded my Lenovo Y720 RAM to 64GB. This laptop came with 16GB initially, but it’s very easy to upgrade it. I was browsing Amazon and found that the Samsung 32GB DDR4 SODIMM modules were the cheapest available, so I went ahead and ordered 2 of them. Upgrading it was as easy as removing the back cover: We can see the 2x 8GB RAM modules installed in the laptop here: And here they are removed: The part…
Hi everyone, On Saturday, I received the LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray Writer Drive. This is my 3rd Blu-Ray writer and it will replace my LiteOn iHBS112 which was causing several bad burns. The other drive is the Panasonic UJ-260, which is a slim drive that burns discs successfully. This drive is one of the cheapest Blu-Ray XL writers available on Amazon. It is also able to read and burn CDs and DVDs. Here, we will see the drive unboxed and teared…
Hi everyone, In the past few days, I brought a LiteOn iHAS524 C DVD drive on eBay. This drive is quite rare and was being sold as used, but the unit seems to be in good conditions. The reason to have this drive is due to its unique LabelTag feature. This allows you to create labels on the data side of a CD-R and DVD+/-R. It, of course, will consume space, but the advantage is that you don’t have to…
Hi everyone, Today, I took the opportunity to take photos of this squirrel who was in my back yard today, testing the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra camera which has received some updates. The Camera app version used is 10.0.03.2 and the Galaxy S20 Ultra firmware ends with ATD6. It is also the Snapdragon version. The photos were taken in standard mode, in 4:3 ratio, with a zoom of 20x to 26x. Click on a photo to see the larger version:…
Hi everyone, Today, I burned a few more Ritek Mini CD-R media, where I found out they have a surface issue: I didn’t realized this, but it seems to be a plant manufacture problem. I opened another of the 100-pack I have and it have the same problem. The problem is that the data was burning fine, with no errors on my Lite-On iHAS524, but it failed to verify on some parts of the disk, as it was approaching the…
Hi everyone, Yesterday, I received some Pocket/Mini CD-R I purchased on eBay, which were being sold for cheap due to them not being branded or not having their specs listed. The seller was selling 3 packs of 100 unbranded silver surface Mini CD-R, and since the price was lower compared to other branded media, I decided to buy all 3. The discs were wrapped with no spindle. The discs have a silver surface: Here we can see a single CD-R:…
Hi everyone, Yesterday, I got the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, with its 108MP and 8K recording being the main features that led me to purchase it. I intend to use its camera to take lots of photos and take early advantage of its 8K recording mode. The photos on this post were taken with my previous phone: the Samsung Galaxy S9+. Let’s begin the unboxing with the box, which is similar to previous Samsung Galaxy phones: As soon as we…
Hi everyone, In this post, I will be tearing down the M Way External DVD Drive. This is a slim external CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive that can read and write CDs but can only read DVDs. Let’s begin with the teardown. First, we must remove 2 screws that are found on the back to open the drive enclosure: We can then open the enclosure: We can see the DVD drive along with the board and USB Cable. We can also see…
Hi everyone, In this post, I’ll show you the M Way USB External DVD Drive. This is a slim External CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo drive, which is quite interesting, given that most units today are DVD writers. This one just reads and writes CD-R/RW, and reads DVD’s, but can’t write them. The brand is unknown, too, but it was on sale a few days ago and decided to get one, just to have just in case one of my other drives goes…
Hi everyone, Here, I will be showing you pictures of the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Double Pack, which got released today: As you can see in the above picture, that is the front of the box. Let’s take a look at the back: And the sides: Let’s open the box: And take out the contents: We can see the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield game box. We can also see it came with a download code to get some…
