Maybe a small amount, but remember, disks effectively RAID0 across all their platters. We’d be talking billions of €/£/$, for maybe what, a kB at most?;
I’m sorry if I came across as a bit of an arse. Maybe I am. Issue is, though, that you all are GREATLY overstating the possibility of data recovery. It was gone the second the head crashed. But, to tie this up, I’m sorry if I sound rude (for me, it’s kinda late and I’m tired), but I AM correct.
Are you a troll, or just that misinformed? It was dead the second the head hit the platter. Disks basically Raid0 across platters. It was dead by then. Now, one disk’s literally been snapped off, and the whole thing has met grass, dirt, fingerprints, scratches, an effed head, and, atop all this, literal shock from the BASEBALL BAT! Even a few nanometres of misalignment makes it unusable. Also, not to mention a PORTION OF THE F***ING DISK IS MISSING IN THE GARDEN!
It’s literary gotten a head crash, then been peeled like an orange, then taken out to the grass, literally been used as a baseball, and gotten all sorts of dirt on it, and had half the top of it whacked clean off. Something tells me, it’d be damn hard.
61·2 days agoFor me, it’s getting my news via memes/Lemmy. It’s like filtering water through sand. Much less dirt and grime.
I don’t know too much about distros, but you want something quite light. Let’s be real, enterprise like schools won’t pony up everything for Debian, especially when they just use Chromium and maybe Libreoffice. Schools are cheap, and if you can hacksaw together an Arch-based thing, they WILL buy miserable hardware, that can just barely run it, and an 8 gig SSD is much more stomachable for them than a 32-gig for Debian. SteamOS doesn’t completely crash, and that’s infinitely more complicated. This is basic Arch, plus a WM, plus Firefox/Chromium/Whatever.
Use KeePassXC on the computer, and KeePassDX on Android. Yeah, you need to manually sync the database (.kdbx) file, but it’s 1000x safer than any paid crap. Why? Their only motive is profit. FOSS nerds? Making a strong, good program.
You could probably make a small Arch install, add LibreOffice and something either like the GNOME browser or Firefox. What people using ChromeOS want is something light (for cheaping out on hardware to schools), and basically just a way to access a browser. Plus, something something permissions. ChromeOS is marketed towards enterprise, like education. Just need the bare minimum to get on the 'net, and no more.
There’s actually a podcast episode on this! One co-host’s Matt Parker, if you know who that is.
Hey, you got a ketchup smudge on that there post. Let me wipe it off. Epstein
2·2 months agoIt’s really good! Thanks! Might use it as my alarm, actually! :-)
I thought it was WORST, not BEST!
