Monthly Tech Giveaway….
Long-time subscribers to my daily Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter will remember that I used to feature a monthly Tech Gadget Giveaway that all active subscribers were eligible to win.
I ended up having to suspend that giveaway due to the onset of the Covid pandemic, but now is the time to bring it back – better than ever.
The prizes featured in the new giveaway will include a combination of items I received for testing and review and brand new items that will provided directly by partner companies.
Winners will be selected at random. All Standard subscribers have an equal chance to win. All Premium subscribers have two chances (their email addresses are added to the pot twice).

Rick’s Daily Pick…
Unitek USB 3.0 to IDE and SATA External Hard Drive Adapter Kit
I’ve written about this awesome tool many times in the past, and for good reason.
In a nutshell, it allows you to remove the hard drive or 2.5″ SATA SSD from a broken PC and connect it to a different PC as an external USB drive. That makes it very easy to recover your files from the broken machine’s drive.
