Originally posted by vindicktive vinny what happens when you connect it as internal drive ?
will the bios recognize it ?
I might try something like that tomorrow.
I've had enough drinks at this point to have written off any more physical tampering with anything for the night.
But I might just try that tomorrow. -

Originally posted by Lanny I'm not sure how window device managers handles it, will it acknowledge a drive if it's unmountable?
Have you tried booting into linux and seeing if it turns up in /dev/ and what fsck has to say?
Should it show up with a simple sudo fdisk -l command before anything else?
I did try that just now but no luck. :( -

Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Is the drive old?
Less than 6 months old.
And yet, I have 6+ year old external HDDs that still work.
Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Any idea why it failed? Besides it being Seagate (they have a bad reputation - the worst).
I don't know if this is sufficient to cause such a malfunction, but the two events did coincide perfectly, and that's hard to ignore...
I accidentally plugged my laptop's power supply into the external HDD (apparently they both physically fit the same port) instead of it's own power supply, and after that it stopped working.
Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country You should try doing the replacement yourself. Get a nice clean room, cold and damp as possible, wear a mask and protective gear, put an air enhancement going (you can make your own for like €10 with a little enhancement material (not necessarily HEPA, HEPA is just compact material - just layer that shit like in an old whey protein container) and throw in an old PC cooling fan). Pretty much any dust still present will be thrown off by centripetal force once the drive spins up.
I'm doing all kinds of research into that whole process at the moment, and might just give it a shot. -
2019-03-23 at 12:20 AM UTC in DIY Data Recovery (Power Issue / Unrecognized Drive)So I have an external hard drive (8TB, Seagate) that stopped working (being recognized when plugged in) yesterday.
I tried the routine troubleshooting stuff first:
1. Different USB cable (both Micro Type B).
2. Tried a different power supply (slightly lower voltage and amperage).
3. Removed the drive itself and tried putting it into a new ($30) enclosure.
4. Tried connecting it directly via USB SATA cables (see image below). Not immediately recognized, nor found anywhere in Device Manager (yes, I'm on Windows).
Now I'm calling up the big guns (I live in a relatively small town, and the small computer repair shops I call around here, once I tell them everything I've tried, tell me I'm pretty much stuck going into the city and spending at least a grand for physical plate swapping in a clean room and all that.
I've shopped around, and I'm looking at somewhere between $1,000 (CAD) to $2,000.
Recovering the data is worth paying whatever price to me, even though I don't exactly have this kind of money just sitting around, and will have to resort to a hefty credit withdrawal or loan.
But if I can do it for under a grand and in house / myself, that would be ideal.
What else can I try? -

2019-03-22 at 4 PM UTC in How can i trick a girl into liking meOk, hold up one sec, was this thread actually an attempt to illicit serious responses?
I just assumed this was a troll thread because of this particular phraseology: "trick a girl into liking me".
If it's actually a serious thread, OP, you are either a sociopath, or autistic af. -

That's her whole appeal.
I never said I was into MENSA members.
She got a sexy voice, too.

Originally posted by Lanny Single user issue tracking software. Tickets are a great way to manage/remember what you need to do on a project and I'd like to try that at home instead of a bunch of shitty todo lists that I always spill food on. But most software is designed for a team, I think you could do some interesting aggregate stats if you knew one person was responsible for every ticket in the system. Recurring tickets (for things like bills or shopping or whatever) and a public no-registration way to submit tickets (like if a friend wants to remind me to return a book or whatever) would be cool. Oh, and a hook so I could set up an email and when someone is sends me an email like "yo, lanny, I need you do to X" I can forward it to that email address and the system will automatically turn it into a ticket for me. There are a bunch of interesting things you could do with extraction of semantic info from emails.
I've been meaning to do this project for a while but I've never sat down to do it.
I realize this thread is like four years old, but on the very off chance that you are unaware of Trello, I use it for just about exactly this.
Combine it with your own custom scripts (Python, whatever) using a Trello API key and the sky really is the limit.
And then you can even go a step further with the GitHub (or GitLab or whatever) API if you want to incorporate group/work projects as well.
I basically created my own personal JIRA using a combination of the above.
