Recovering Data From Broken Hard Drives and SSDs (Video)
Russell Chozick owns a small company in Austin. TX, called Flashback Data that recovers data from messed-up hard drives. And SSDs and Flash memory, too. How badly damaged does a drive have to be to defeat Russell and his crew? Apparently, smashed to bits. Not long aqo we did a video about a company that destroys data on hard drives, and we've had at least one Ask Slashdot where the question was, "What's the Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives?" In today's video, Russell is talking about the opposite of destruction -- except that he destroys data upon request, too. Obviously, checking the wrong box on a customer order form could cause big problems at Flashback Data, couldn't it? Let's hope they never do that -- and let's hope we all back up all of our data so we never need to use a data recovery service. You do back up all your data, don't you?
Oh god. At least I'm continually reminded why I automatically -6 all ACs.

Really, dude.
I have quite a bit of mental illness in my family and the parent is not normal.
Sure, being REALLY pissed off and posting that once or even TWICE is one thing, but this long?
I don't care if I'm mod'ed down (I'm an AC after all) but I REALLY need to say this: Dude, get help - or if it's a bunch of folks doing this - get help.
This is not normal - and I don't mean normal in the sense of "you're not conforming to society's ideal of "normal"" - I mean this is a sign of real problems and you need help.
I can't judge - I'm in no position to judge - only to offer "knowing" advice.
