Sagebrush posted:despite all of what you've learned, you are gonna continue "backing up" data to these drives with a jumper-wired fuse on their control board? well considering i had no backup plan enacted, this will be an improvement. not only is it nice i am getting all my data back, but i'm also not out $600 worth of hard drives. i don't feel comfortable leaving in a fuse-bypassed hard drive plugged in 24/7, but i have no problem copying/pasting my important stuff to them a couple times per year and then leaving them in something like this the rest of the time:  it's a hard pill for me to swallow that every time i buy a hard drive i actually have to buy two (for the sake of backup) but this situation kind of took care of that for me.

none of my 4tb WD drives died (only 8tb ones did) during this episode so it leads me to believe the 8tb white label WD drives just have some real wimpy fuses or somethin'

if the fuse failed and the rest of the drive lived, i'd call that a good fuse

true.dat the 8tb drives used 2A fuses. maybe the 4tb drives used 4A or somethin' (or no fuses at all  )entirely possible since i couldn't find a single post anywhere on the 'net where someone ever fixed a dead drive this way

i have an odd situation. have a computer with a dying hard drive. have been able to get everything off it. however, there are thousands of emails the sent folder of an email in outlook 2010 that are not synced with o365. i cannot export them from outlook on the dying hard drive because i get the click of death. i was able to successfully extract the 50gb .ost file, but i cannot open it on another computer. every .ost reader i can find on google looks like its full of malware or some poo poo. anyone ever had to deal with this?

all ost readers look shady as gently caress, that's just par for the course; if you're without Acutal Forensic Software then that's still you best option throw it in a VM with no network connectivity and let your data flow the spout

i am a lawyer. i'm also my firm's it guy because its just me and two septuagenarians that are going to be retired in the next year so it doesn't make sense to spend a fortune on an msp. i also just got a masters in finance because i can't get a law job that pays me worth a gently caress.

never agree to make old people happy with their computers for any amount of money, especially if those people do any job referred to as "practice" for serious though, clicking drive that won't talk to you and has info locked in a weird format is a good reason to pay a grand or three to a data recovery company; they're way faster and more competent and if things couldn't be recovered they'll probably explain why. your time and sanity have value too

looking at all my drives in device manager, 80% are EMAZ, and the other 20% are EZAZ which are the good ones? also you should buy those sata Y splitter things because they disable the 3.3V line, which is needed for these drives to spin in an internal desktop environment. i know you can just put kapton tape on the 3rd pin but i found that to virtually never work (once you cut it down to the perfect size it loses all stickiness)

i have a directory of movies that i want to serve to my lan with a really basic web interface i feel like someone has surely already made a repo that I can just clone and point to the movie directory and have it serve the collection. I tried doing this with python simplehttpserver, but my phone is too stupid and kept trying to download the whole movie instead of just streaming and playing it on its own

last weekend i spent a bunch of time beating my dumb butt brain over trying to gin up basically an on-prem videoconference server, after a "movie night" last week got derailed by discord having an off night or something i was thinking "gently caress it, i've got a hunnert megabits on my pipe, why in hell should i deal with greedy ol' discord or some other telecon service that'll probably start snitching out ~illicit~ copyrighted content when i can just push the data myself?" and man maybe i've got a big box of bricks upstairs or maybe i'm just not doing good at the google search lately but i had a hell of a time finding anything. all of the streaming stuff seems to be based around "spin up a rotating playlist of HTTP chunks that will introduce several seconds of delay no matter what" and most of it also apparently still relies on decrepit old flash-based poo poo? and all the videocon stuff seems to just be ~cloud-hosted~ services. like dang i just want to send a video stream and also have people be able to chat w/ each other while the video stream's going.
