    Question Over 100GB of data disappeared. Help?

    @mikeymikec While I continue to research this topic before resorting to professionals, would you guys say disabling TRIM and not using any SSD space to mitigate any further damages? After disabling TRIM, can I use Chrome or try another search for those files without potentially compromising the...

    Question Over 100GB of data disappeared. Help?

    I don't have the laptop with me at the moment as I'm not home. I don't recall having anything in the documents/pictures folder. I only had folders ranging from 1 to 19 or so on the desktop. I think I made a mistake installing Recuva onto the C drive as it could have overwritten some data. Doh...

    Question Over 100GB of data disappeared. Help?

    Yeah, all my files are missing from the desktop. Like I said, I had them in folders ranging from 1-19 or something like that. The only thing left after the botched backup are the computer, recycle bin, Garmin Express, and Google Chrome shortcuts. Assuming what you said is true, why would I...

    Question Over 100GB of data disappeared. Help?

    I just turned on my laptop and I was quite surprised to see that all of the folders and files on my desktop disappeared. Initially, I saw them in the file explorer, and my C drive had about 200GB of free space. As I was downloading updates on Windows 11, busy on the phone and whatnot, now more...

    Anyone here having difficulties synchronizing tabs between Android Chrome browser and Chrome PC?

    I have to admit, I'm one of those guys that have a habit of opening tabs and never close them. On my Nexus 5, I have about 512 tabs opened. For reasons that I don't understand, I don't see all 512 tabs opened on Chrome for Windows. I only see like maybe 20 tabs opened. Is there a reason why this...

    I'm getting kind of stick and tired of the paywalls so I'm now looking to get a subscription to each of these newspapers. Anyone here read these papers?

    Anyone here have a Netatmo Welcome Indoor Camera?

    https://www.netatmo.com/product/security/welcome I'm looking to buy an indoor camera that doesn't rely on cloud storage. The Netatmo seems to fit my needs as it can record to either micro-SD, Dropbox, and FTP server. I'm more interested in the FTP server. How does that work? Can I set up one of...

    Any comment on Intel's B85 chipsets?

    I have a old Haswell processor lying around and I'm looking to build a PC with that processor. It's a Core i5 processor, but it can't be overclocked so I don't see a need to spend the money and get a Z97 base motherboard. Other than overclocking, what are the advantages of Z97 over the B85...

    Google Apps users here?

    Unfortunately Google Apps is now a paid service, but I am still using the free edition of Google Apps with my own domain name. Several weeks ago, I noticed that my emails have disappeared and I don't understand why that is the case. I can't seem to find a number that I can call to get technical...

    Questions About the BankAmericard Rewards Platinum Plus Visa Rewards Program

    So I've had this visa card since my days in college. I have never bothered to look into the details of the rewards program since I thought that the program wasn't really worth it since it'll likely take tons of points to redeem anything of value to me. Just earlier today, I noticed some points...

    Is it still possible to get Apple's iPhoto app for OSX?

    I just bought a rMBP. I know iPhoto have already been discontinued. Is there any chance of getting a copy of the software? I think Apple even released an update to make it compatible with El Capitan.
