THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

Why do you think YouTube removed the button in the first place?

They removed it so they could do youtube rewinds without being ashamed of the like dislike ratio

To combat piracy, they aimed for the like button but due to the randomness of Kenway’s Fleet they instead targeted the dislike button.

Should’ve deployed a fire barrel.

What will happen to this forum when the game will be completed?

How easy is it to recover data from a dead external HDD?
Mine died (obviously) and I’d rather not lose everything I have, and yes I have tried opening it via the PC. It froze until it was unplugged, leading me to believe the disk is unreadable or has a corrupted file somewhere

What movie/clip does the “wooen” sound effect (swear filter) come from?

Depends entirely on if the failure is mechanical, electronic, or just a corrupt file system. To me it sounds a bit like the actual hardware is failing, but you could try to rule out corruption by for example using a Linux system to try to use the drive and see if you can read raw bytes of the hard drive (for example with dd). If that succeeds in reading some data from the disk, then it’s not a mechanical failure. At this point the filesystem on the disk might be mountable on Linux, if not, there are filesystem repairing tools that may be able to recover it (though you might lose some files due to the disk directory listings being lost, but then you can use a different tool to try to detect where the actual files are on disk).

If those don’t help, then I think it’s pretty safe to assume that it is either failure in the hard drive board controller or mechanical parts. You didn’t specify but it sounds like it is an USB external hard drive. Those often just contain a normal internal hard drive and an SATA-to-USB adapter. If that’s the case, you could open up the external hard drive enclosure to find the drive inside and try to directly install it in your computer. This might work if the USB interface is dead but it’s otherwise working.

The last option is to pay over like $500 and ship it to a data recovery service. They can do stuff like transplant a new hard drive controller into the drive or open up the drive in a clean room and transplant the platters inside into a working donor drive, and then read the data that way. But as I mentioned this is a pretty expensive operation (and something you can’t do at home), so you need to balance the cost versus how much the data is worth it to you (and also take into account that they might not be able to recover the data in all cases). Doing regular / scheduled backups to an extra hard drive (and also I recommend doing online backups of most important data in case there’s a fire or something that physically might destroy your primary and backup hard drives) is much cheaper and more effective way to ensure your data is safe.

TIL that some crazy people were calling Tolkien a racist in light of Amazon’s show.

I feel that history is genuinely insulted.

I hope this post is OK…

Is this ok?
