I think this year has been hard and drat it depression is real. Hope anyone who is struggling reaches out to someone. No it’s not as easy as looking at all the good you have, when your brain is saying the opposite. I have more blessings than most in the world you think things would be easier.

I'm going to buy a couple gallons of acryllic floor coating and cover that new flooring. At the very least that will keep him from destroying it. I guess when we do the first floor we'll be punching up to LVT since it is pee proof. I'm not getting rid of my cat.

I know this is AI, but there's a lot of computer-touchers in here. Dead hard drive recovery service recommendations? I know they're expensive, but I was using a friend's laptop and the HDD just up and died - heard the windows "hardware disconnected" noise, then... dead. Drive isn't recognized at all even in an external enclosure and just makes sad HDD noises. The PC's BIOS occasionally sees "Hard drive" on the first SATA port, but nothing else (no model, no serial, etc) - most of the time it just says nothing is connected. Apparently there's some Very Important poo poo on it. No backups, natch. 8 year old WD Black 2.5" with very low hours on it. Tried it in another laptop, and an external enclosure, both just occasional show some kind of drive is there, but can't identify it (or that nothing is hooked up). It ded, just sounds like the heads are seeking several times before going totally dead when powered on, and doesn't sound like it's spinning up. Friend's laptop is back up and running with a new el-cheapo SSD in it. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Oct 16, 2020 |

So I started out writing about how excruciating hiccups are right now and how they’re caused by my continuing constipation. I ended up at the above and decided to truncate the beginning cause I though it was funny. We need to focus on building each other up, man. I still need to poop, thanks for asking. You’re alright.

Also give light percussive maintenance on start up. Treat it like a starter with a dead spot, man. If freezing don’t work, go the other direction. Use a hair dryer on the bearing faces of the platters. More light percussive maintenance, we’re talking tapping with a screwdriver handle, man. If it still don’t work you can replace the drive’s board itself. The tricky part is finding the exact same make, model, and to some degree (sometimes) of sub-model of what is now likely an obsolete OEM drive.

freezing has worked for me too. Stick it in a sealed bag and leave it to chill. you might not get long with it once it warms up, so perhaps put it in an enclosure ready and find out where your files might be in advance

Already tried freezing it, though only for half an hour. The other problem is not only is it not spinning, the PC isn't even seeing it connected most of the time. I heard the Windows "device removed" noise about 5 seconds before the system froze. I'm guessing maybe the firmware just goes "ohshit" if the drive doesn't do what it's expecting, and stops responding? OCCASIONALLY the BIOS sees "hard drive" for the type of device when you go into SATA settings, but usually shows nothing connected. My external enclosure shows a nonstop flashing light once it tries to initialize the drive - normally it flashes very briefly then goes solid until accessed (admittedly it's a $3 Aukey enclosure...) She knows it's going to be 3-4 figures to get the data off if it's possible (one website I found claimed $495 for a clean room data recovery, that seems hilariously unrealistic though, and it sounded like they were just just to try replacing heads). Finding the exact PCB won't be too easy given the age of the drive, and I I'm not entirely sure it's not an internal failure. The laptop had been sitting for ~5 years except for a couple of hours two years ago. I'm not sure how many hours are on the drive itself, but the laptop looks brand new (no keyboard wear or anything) and still holds a fantastic charge, despite being 8 years old. I don't think it saw any real usage over most of its life, so I'm kinda surprised the drive failed. WD Blacks are supposed to be decent, aren't they? e: dave, thanks, drivesavers was the name I was looking for. I know they're supposed to be one of the best. cakesmith handyman posted:How long are the cables? Just don't take it out the freezer Laptop, so... it slides in. I supposed I could just get the longest cables possible and put it next to the freezer!e: might be easier to just get a USB extension cable and put the external housing in the freezer. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Oct 16, 2020 |

I would expect more in the range of 4-5 figures for proper data recovery. We lost a very important server years ago and the recovery on the 6 drives was something like $40k

This is a single drive on the smaller side, just a consumer laptop drive, only has about 100GB on it (probably 20GB that actually needs recovery). Hopefully the quote doesn't come in that high

Hopefully the quote doesn't come in that high Try leaving it in the freezer for longer. It’s been a 12 hour/overnight job when I’ve attempted it. (I think it has worked twice out of 3 drives) I had a HDD suddenly fail on a laptop last week too. It was an old one but I left it running at home for 36 hours or so to test it then took it to a work site and left it running there to use as a remote access gateway to a load of servers I wanted to configure (this is on a building site with very limited site access hours and restrictions, no proper internet yet and I left a 4G router attached to it) My laptop failed after about 24 hours and in the process wiped out the text file full of lovely random passwords for all the new gear that I hadn’t yet copied off it  Tomarse fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Oct 17, 2020 |

I can't recommend a data recovery service, but I can recommend not doing a platter swap yourself in a home built "clean room" That poo poo is nerve racking. Everyone already covered it though. Replacement board, if that don't work then cold, if not that then heat.

Covid is most certainly kicking off in the north of the U.K. at the moment Before today I only had a handful of internet acquaintances/friends and a few distant friends and contacts who have had it. As of this evening I now know almost 10 people who have active cases with positive tests who are either friends, people I have worked with or seen over the past 2 or 3 weeks or immediate family members or colleagues of the above

I only know one confirmed case and she hit the jackpot and got what some call "long covid", so 5 months after first symptoms she still has problems with exhaustion, pain and breathlessness. EDIT: She's in her early 40s and in fairly good shape before this.

I met a neighbor yesterday while walking the dog that has the same. Says she’s going on 125 days no sense of smell or taste. She also told me she tries horseradish every day and nothing. Not sure bout her strategy here, but I do like horseradish. So much so I decided to have some on a small sandwich last night. Surprisingly that was not a problem whatsoever for my tonsil recovery site or nose. Feeling brave, I branched out to a large swig of Kirkland Tropical Mango drank. Which was entirely incompatible with my surgical site. It was like drinking a big gulp or white hot surgical needles, and they somehow instantly traveled from my throat to the back of my eyeballs. It was excruciating but laughable as I got it managed in a matter of minutes. trouser chili fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Oct 17, 2020 |

I fully support trouser chili being high on Vicodin and experimenting on his body. My very first import was this Crown Majesta and the hood dropped on my left shoulder. drat that thing weighed a ton. I think my should was either dislocated or popped out later on. Agaonzing annoying pain now 2+ years later. I don’t think my doc would give pain meds he is an addiction specialist but can they ever like give you a numbing shot or something in that local area? I don’t know what to ask for and don’t want to be labeled a drug seeker

drat! I will have to ask about cortisone when I go back to the Doc just popped an ale every it is somewhat better. Also STR I know drive savers doesn’t charge if they don’t recover your stuff. I have only had two people ever opt to send it to them both were over $1k. Might as well try swapping boards and everything before you do they recover fire stuff and poo poo that’s been in the lake for a year I doubt you will do much more damage but as others said be ready if it lights up to transfer right then it might not ever connect again!

Yeah if you can get it going with a controller swap then count your blessings and get everything off there ASAP in order of most to least important. The shop I worked at briefly in like 2013 had a forensic drive recovery kit and it cost something like fifty grand to purchase. I think in the entire time I was there the one guy who was trained to use it had to recover something on it twice.

A friend who can't afford $1k for data recovery asked me to see if I could get some data off of her old Dell desktop. I plugged the drive into my Icy Dock but all I get is I/O errors in my logs, no bad sounds. Sound like swapping the controller is a better first bet than the freezer?

First go at vinyl wrapping something today: Of course it's a compound curve and a PITA. Got it on 3rd go after figuring out how it works. It's a replacement trim piece for the dash which strangely doesn't come up on the Holden database even though I physically have a piece in onyx and a valid part number format. So modding a silver piece.
