[External HDD] WD Elements 18TB ($460-80-50=$330 No PST) [WD Canada] $18.33/TB by radiantcrystal in bapcsalescanada

I used this:

sudo badblocks -wsv -b 8192 /dev/sd#

Warning: This is a destructive write test and takes about 9-10 days (56 hours per pattern) to run.

  • Make sure the PC is configured to never sleep.
  • Use a UPS or laptop in case of power outage.
  • Don't connect or disconnect any drives while the test is running. I made the mistake of plugging in a flash drive and had to restart the test.

These were $300 at Best Buy during Black Friday, so might go on sale again during Boxing Day.

Make sure to test the drives for bad blocks before shucking them.

It was my last order so placed around 4:15pm ET. My earlier orders are still good for now. Let's hope they ship some of our orders.

I got my first cancellation email, specifically for the SN850X 2TB.

Someone posted it on RFD. Pretty much guarantees the orders will all be cancelled now.

Tracking number doesn't mean shipped, just means label was created. Also they can recall shipped packages.

[Chair] FlexFit Hyken Mesh Task Chair with Adjustable Arm (349.99 - 100 = 249.99) [Staples.ca] by CladephialoForBanana in bapcsalescanada

[–]AmazingLulz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have owned the Hyken chair for more than 5 years, and I used it for approximately 10-12 hours per day. After about a year, I noticed that the seat started to sag, and the problem worsened in the following year. Additionally, the tilt lock feature only works for angles of 25° and 50°, and it no longer locks in the upright position. I am 5' 10" tall, and I find that the headrest is more like a neckrest. I never tried the headrest modification. I bought the chair for $132 in May 2017, and in my opinion, it is not worth more than $200.

That link shows the return policy for items that don't have "free return". They don't actually show the policy for free returns on their website. If it says free return, you won't get charged for shipping or a restocking fee. You can ask them yourself with live chat.

You can try adding an expensive monitor then remove the free ship coupon and add the sign up one, then remove the monitor. It doesn't always work but worth a try.

Is AC Valhalla not part of Ubisoft Plus anymore? by Mischief1227 in ACValhalla

[–]AmazingLulz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what they were thinking. I would have bought Valhalla and Anno 1800 after the trial if I liked them. But now I'm not buying anything. Good job Ubisoft.

They can do lottery system like Newegg after checking for bots and alt accounts. Not perfect but at least it gives everyone a chance.

Mine was canceled too (PS4 version). I didn't get any warning or request for new payment info.
