Need help backing up CDs

I have been collecting CDs for almost 5 years now. I love listening to them on my Discman and sound system at home, but I also create digital backups so I can listen on the portable music player and make copies/mixes for the car. I haven't backed up anything in over a year, though. I want to find new software to do this

What is the best software for this?

In the past, when I first started, I used the basic Windows Media Player to back up everything, but it wasn't very reliable. Over the years, I then used ImgBurn, AnyBurn, and Exact Audio Copy. My absolute favorite out of all of them is Exact Audio Copy; it has the best quality and has great features that the others don't, and it was able to rip hidden pre-gap tracks on some of my CDs that I wasn't able to rip before. Unfortunately, my computer flags it as a virus, so I want a new option to back up my CDs at high quality. I have a ton of new CDs that I would love to add to my music player!

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Developing color film at home advice

I am planning on developing some color film for the first time soon, I have a couple of shot rolls Kodak gold and ultramax. I have had experience developing and darkroom printing black and white film at my school and would like to try out developing color film. So far, I have bought the development tank and film leader retrival tool for my kit. I am planning on buying a changing bag, 4 glass bottles, a mixing beaker, 2 funnels, film squeegee, and the C-41 chemicals. Is there anything else I would need to develop color film? What reccomendation do you all have for C-41 chemicals? I was thinking about buying the Kodak C-41 Color Negative Developing Kit (2.5 L). Any advice/feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

GIGABYTE Aorus Offical site for drivers?

Hello,

I am updating the drivers for my PC that uses an Aorus x570s Elite AX Rev 1.1 motherboard and I am unsure about the official site to download the official drivers. I noticed that the url for these drivers is aorus.com instead of gigabyte.com which I have downloaded driver in the past on another pc that I used to have with an older aorus motherboard. Is this an official site?

FireWire PCIE Card Recommendation

Hello,
I am looking into buying a FireWire PCIE card for my Windows 11 PC to transfer tapes from my camcorder. What do you recommend? I am looking into this StarTech one and this LinksTek one. I was also thinking about buying this Apple adapter.

Thanks

Replacement Earpads for Bose QuietComfort 3 Suggestions

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CH9RNWC3?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image&th=1

Hello,
Does anyone have good recommendations for replacement earpads for the Bose QuietComfort 3? I have tried these ones, but they make the headphones sound a little too boomy in the bass and kind of muffles the mids and high ends, and just don't sound as good as the original ear pads. Are there any earpads that are as close to the original ones as they can be? I love these headphones and would like to get them sounding as good as possible.

Is this normal for the sensor? It looks like two cracks on either side and it was also a little dirty on the corner of the glass part (which I cleaned off). I have bought this new a couple of weeks ago from B&H and I have took it out today. I did drop it on accident today and I am worried I might have broke it or is inaccurate now. Is it fine?
