While you're at it, rate ME!
Found totse in 1999, joined in 2001 ("proof" in wayback machine data to 2002 and totse colaboration pic in 2004.
I am the oldest CONFIRMED DATA member here. Spectral likes to cite, "I am the OLDEST!" yet offers no proof. I have and do. I am the oldest surviving member of totse.com. Moderator of totse.com's BLTC, moderator of Zoklet's BLTC and then Forum Admin of Zoklet.net. Some of you have been here just as long as I have, and if you're notable, I'll remember you. A fart in the wind "randomboy2001", I may not recall. -

2018-03-30 at 11:23 AM UTC in BRiCK story threadIn prison, I had an old Russian guy in our dormitory who taught me how to play chess. We'd play everyday and he'd always kick my ass. I never beat him. Not once. We'd play chess and he'd tell me stories of MOTHER RUSSIA from when he was a boy. Interesting to listen to. I wonder if he is still in there...

2018-03-29 at 8:46 PM UTC in How to recover information off a water damaged phone
Originally posted by benny vader old age i guess. first it appeared on the bottom of the screen, just a few pixels high black bar.
then it crept slowly higher, with some part of blinking, then to about 1/3 screen. then it started to blink more often. it will light up, slowly fade to black and then light up again ….
eventually the entire screen is filled with evenly spaced interlaced lines in addition to the pulsating, while another half of the screen is black.
its a cheap, but pretty rare phone that came out somewhere in 2014 and i'd hate to let it go.
Probably just a poorly made LCD that failed. -

2018-03-29 at 12:24 PM UTC in How to recover information off a water damaged phoneWhy you shouldn't use the power of magic rice:
The mystical power of magic rice isn't going to microsolder your backlight coil back in place. It isn't going to completely replace that badly corroded FPC connector. It isn't going to track down and remove the bad capacitors and diodes or reflow corroded solder joints. While throwing your phone in a bag of rice might absorb the liquid, it does absolutely nothing for the damage that has already occurred due to trace minerals and water + electricity. Rice is nothing more than a hopeful idea that just doesn't work for this application.
Want to clean up a spill on the floor? Throw some rice on it. Want to keep moisture down in a small container? Add some rice or rice husks. Phone took on liquid damage? Don't put it in rice. Liquid damage and electronics...the clock starts ticking as soon as it happened. The longer that phone sits and festers in its damage, the less likely you're going to be able to get data off it, let alone use it.
In an ideal world, you would have immediately taken the battery out, disassembled the phone, and then submerged in 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol and allowed to sit overnight and then gently brush the board with an old toothbrush or acid brush to remove any visible corrosion. Allow to air dry. If you had a hot air station, it wouldn't hurt to add some flux and to some light reflow over the entire board. 390C, 5-6 air speed. This creates good strong solder joints again where corrosion made them bad. Again wash the board to clean the flux off and reassemble the phone. Insert a brand new battery and power on the phone while being connected to a PC so you can immediately transfer data to the computer as fast as possible. There is no guarantee the phone will work, or for how long it would work, or which components of the phone will continue to work, but if you're lucky, you can get it to work long enough to retrieve your data and get another phone.
If you've been stupid however, and have attempted to power on the phone multiple times, have thrown it in rice, and it's now been several days and you've made no attempt to open the phone to properly clean the boards, then you can almost certainly kiss it goodbye. -

Well, lucky for you, I do care enough to correct you. It's important for people to stop believing in such magical fixes so they stop spreading them online and stop a number of people from attempting said magical fixes.
This is what the inside of a hard drive looks like after a few moments of being removed from the freezer. Just like a glass of ice water outside on a hot summer day, it "sweats", or, condensation builds. This occurs whether you set the drive in the freezer bare or wrapped in multiple ESD bags, like many online "guides" suggest you do. It doesn't matter.
What do you think happens when you power that drive up? Frost that remains on the drive's platters is being cut into by the heads. Condensed water spreads across the heads of those drives, causing significant damage to them often making any actual data recovery attempt by a professional useless.
Here are a couple videos that essentially tells the same story. Don't put your hard drives in a freezer. Don't tap them with a hammer. Don't drop them from 4' high. Don't put your water damaged devices in bags of rice.
