I really like the quote about drawing lines versus circles. I’ve always believed Jesus’ teaching to love one another is the core of Christianity.

Wait… So they fly this stuff all the way from Canadia to Mexico and then have the Guatemalans sneak across our open borders into Texas to kill kids? Ohhhhhh. Now I got it.

Muadib.

Listen Linda… Sometimes you go to HD, buy stuff, and then forget you have to get it home.

Makes perfect sense. I’m not as familiar with the admin side of things.

TY for taking the time to explain.

Would you care to expand on this? I understand many of the pieces mentioned but am not an expert on this and am trying to learn.

I talk out of my ass at times, and the bit level statement could be one of them. Nevertheless Spinrite is a little known but amazing tool for HDD and SDD maintenance and recovery. Just go hop over to the forums. I used to be a member in them back in the late 2000s. You’ll see. There are deep drive nerds and they know their stuff.

This is the best I can find in a pinch. It’s possible it reads at the sector level and repairs at the bit level. It’s been awhile since I’ve been knee deep in Steve’s ass and testimonials. Old Security Now episodes have a lot of info on how it works.

Data recovery companies work the hardware which can be a point of failure. Spinrite tries to recover the data before the hardware fails. The greater density a disk has, the more failures are expected and error correction just assigns bad sectors as they fail. Between that and the OS, my understanding is that the slow degradation of a drive is managed until it can’t be. Even running Spinrite on a new drive is beneficial because new drives come with bad sectors. By assigning them as bad up front you get ahead of bad sectors and even can catch a lemon before it crashes. I’ve recovered unreadable drives with Spinrite. It’s impressive. It doesn’t solve all issues, but it’s really good.

I think you are mistaken and don’t understand how Spinrite works. It reads at the bit level and only reads once at level 1. If the data is going to be lost at the first read then it’ll crash when read by a professional company.

Buy Spinrite. It’s not perfect but it’s the best thing available for drive maintenance and recovery. I have used it for over 10 years. If the drive is dying it’ll take forever, but I’ve recovered data that was nearly gone due to sector loss. It goes down to the bit level BTW. Someday Steve will release v7 … someday.

True… It’s very passive. No one ever pressed me to think this way but I just did… And still sorta do. Maybe movies? And I was susceptible to applying that concept to myself? I dunno.

Damn. Why didn’t you say that sooner. Now I understand how it works! Thank you.

This seems like a manufacturer supported page. Good comparison of products but the title acts like there will be different makers included. Anyone have a suggestion on a reliable dash cam for a good price?

I don’t expect people who take him up on that will enjoy it if coming from America. Just a guess.

I think we went through 3 trannys on one within the warranty period… Great ride with sliding windows and sliding door. Good times. I recall my dad showing me the engine under the hood. I don’t have any idea how someone worked on it. It was horribly crammed in.

That’s not good. I haven’t thought about this use case before.

You done fucked up, JD Vance.

Greg Abbott??? No?.. Damn.

I feel like an appeal is in order.
