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.

That’s awesome. Thank you.

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.

Just heard of Venjent cuz of this post. Thank you!

Have some ideas on other DnB that’s not too pop? I’m old and struggling to find new stuff. When I dig around the new stuff it’s just to clubby…like more picking up chicks and less like dancing till you sweat through your shirt.

I still wallow in stuff like Massive Attack, Orbital, the Orb, Roni Size, Photek, the Prodigy, Deadmaus, Chase and Status, RJD2, etc just to give some examples.

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

I regret this screen protector drives me crazy. It works for my thumb print only some of the time. It could be user error but I think I’m giving up on it. I hope I didn’t lead you down a failed path.

My company filed for two PPP loans to keep afloat. Any company could have just kept making money and the owners could have pocketed the cash. There were expectations that employees were not fired and other questions in the application that I can’t recall. When we applied for forgiveness on the loans we provided tax receipts and staff numbers over time. I’m sure it would have been pretty straightforward to lie or find someone to lie for you (accountant with less than stellar ethics).

It struggled a little but I did add new fingerprints which helped.

We’ll get drunk enough for an alt right orgy.

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?

A long time.

Thanks.

I just feel terrible that I hurt a dog and don’t know how to react. I know it wasn’t on purpose but I get sad if I run over a squirrel in the road.

Thank you.

My other kid had a good perspective. He said if our dog ran out into the road unleashed we wouldn’t expect anything out of a driver who hits the dog.

USA?

That is helpful. Thank you.
