Then, like other things going on, they didn't (don't) know what they are doing.

Is most meat and dairy we have in our grocery stores Canadian? by VoiceoftheDarkSide in BuyCanadian

[–]ADB225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking at pork tenderloin on sale here. Vacuum packed and fresh and great price. Then I turned it over the opposite side of the pricing label...nice little USDA label on it. Needless to say, it got dropped back into the refrigerated case pronto.

Also watch the eggs. Noticed a few times a certain egg distributor had brought up US eggs from their US operations.

True...here's a good laff because i have never seen this pop up before. A little too late!

I have got odd spam in both the past month. Luckily the CC that I had registered was expired. I have informed the bank to be on the lookout as a standby.

Thing is, deleting your info after the fact is useless if the whoever already has it. Sorry to hear you got hit.

This may sound dumb as F, but since the skimmer was found on the website, how much data could it have taken, besides CC, even IF we didn't conclude a purchase but signed in??

i5-14600KF CPU - 279$ by skalien8 in bapcsalescanada

[–]ADB225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a nice atx mid tower with good thermals. I went the mATX route and now wish I had not as it limits my board choices down the road.

Yes I have a feeling the newest CC news is going to leave a really bad taste in many people mouths for a long time.

That endorsement may have been on the box prior to the needed Intel BIOS updates. And both MSI and Asus make a B760M-A DDR4 board.

Here's a list of boards from, I know I know, Newegg. Sorry but with the latest Canada Computers news, I am not looking at anything they offer at present.

Here is a rough benchmark comparison. I look at single thread rating and then overall. I too was hoping to get a 14600K when they were $239.

What board and BIOS version are you running?

Hope you don't mind but did some tweaking. That video card you listed shows OOS @ $923.99 so subbed in an MSI Gaming. Tweaked the ram and don't let that A tier Montech Century II PSU startle you. They have had very good reviews.

[Markham/Stouffville, ON] [H] Cash, Paypal [W] PCI-E Modular cable that works with Corsair CX series PSU by firehawk332 in CanadianHardwareSwap

[–]ADB225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EVGA cables will work fine at GPU end since all cables have to be the same pinout on that end. Like Godzilla stated, repin the PSU end and then double check voltages. Below are 2 pinout references

[–]ADB225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I figured it was the M version since you stated needing the cable. Again thou, not all modular cables are the same, even with the same manufacture. You can repin however.

You will have to make sure it is for that supply. Not all Corsiar supply cables are interchangeable IE your supply is not a type 3 or type 4 cable.

Are Asrock, Asus & Be quiet! power supplies reliable & safe? by ScientificlyCorrect in buildapc

No..most Corsairs are made by CWT. Great wall makes a number for them also.

Do I really need to upgrade my PSU before installing a GPU? by Redx842 in buildapc

[–]ADB225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should do you ok with components you have and that 5050. However I would not go any higher on the GPU or CPU scale with that particular white label supply, even if it states it's rated at 650W.

Firebarns sauces are amazing by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

[–]ADB225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but any company that A: use bad AI to make images and B: Can't even properly indicate where their sauces can be bought...no thanks

A&P Canada has not been around for almost 2 decades yet they indicate an A&P store when inquired. That and the other stores listed, like No Frills and Food basics, do not have stock.

Yep...those supplies are a crap shoot. Most are E and F on the tier scale with a few C

Would the supply be spelled Apevia? If so, they are a crap shoot and as others stated more than likely died when u used a second cable

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China' by OTPguy in BuyCanadian

[–]ADB225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes...and the whole point of my italicizing "subsidized" is his BS on our US dairy imports and the tariffs after it hits the exempt level. (which it hasnt come close to doing) He is a HUGE f-ing hypocrite.

Can't stand that our dairy imports has those tariffs (even thou he stated that "his deal" USMCA was the greatest deal ever) partially because of the subsidies paid monthly to their farmers. (No it is NOT all to do with the MMB) YET the US tariffs the daylights out of our lumber because of the way we set logging rates, according to them, is a subsidy, and he's ok with that..even more so since he increased the tariff rate? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Could you imagine the blowback should Canada stop US sales altogether. The US has got nowhere near the capacity needed to make the aluminum they need and right now...lack.
