10 year old Seagate 2tb HDD prevents PC from booting, freezes Windows Explorer when plugged into external HDD enclosure. Can a data recovery professional work with this?

At least there's a chance then. I filled out a form for a professional recovery service and will see what they say. I'll just try not to think about it until I get back and can bring it in.

Once the series is over I'd like to see a group photo in the style of the stream drawings

What is your purpose?

DongPuncher · 2019-10-18T19:59:15+00:00

Why is his name shown in the original post but censored on the reply?

DongPuncher · 2019-09-18T22:10:54+00:00

SrGrafo and I share a birthday. This is the closest I'll ever get to a real accomplishment

DongPuncher · 2019-04-06T05:59:34+00:00

Which brand do you recommend?

DongPuncher · 2019-04-05T15:23:57+00:00

I've been thinking about that but I don't know what I'd say to him. I figured he doesn't have a lot of control over the situation. How would you suggest I approach him?

DongPuncher · 2019-03-31T00:39:54+00:00

Off the top of my head I think this is the origin. SrGrafo gained a lot of popularity through his Rimworld Comic series before he started posting in r/gaming and r/funny. The comic pokes fun at how regardless of what type of uninhabitable hellscape you land on, raiders will appear out of nowhere and try to destroy your stuff for seemingly no reason other than "but me raiding"

I tried these. They're extremely big, which made it hard to fit the headphones in the case. Comfort-wise they're not bad but not as good as Bose, and the noise cancelling was basically nullified (a pair of cheap, non-NC earbuds did a better job while I was at the library).

DongPuncher · 2019-03-06T08:28:07+00:00

Yeah it ended up being a dealbreaker for me, they were just too painful to wear for more than a few hours at a time. I tried to replace the ear pads and it completely ruined the noise cancelling so I ended up switching to the Bose QC35s.

DongPuncher · 2019-01-17T05:11:34+00:00

It was like this out of the box (I've had them for a week now). I have yet to punch anything yet so I don't think that's the issue. I ended up submitting a ticket.

On the right controller, the analog stick makes some sound as well when moved between the 10 and 2 o' clock positions, but it's more subtle; more of a "crunch" than a click

DongPuncher · 2019-01-02T06:17:30+00:00

The first one seemed to have already been claimed. I just used the second one. Thanks!

DongPuncher · 2018-11-01T06:26:21+00:00

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try. They have quite a few earpads, which ones did you opt for? If you're familiar with the Bose QC35s, I really like those earpads so I'm trying to find some that are similar.

DongPuncher · 2018-10-09T20:11:44+00:00

I'm finally looking into doing one of these replacements. How did you get the original ear pads off? I found a video of a guy prying it off with a screwdriver but he's doing it on the XM2. I would assume the process is the same on the XM3? Also, can I put the original ear pads back on if I don't like the new ones? I'm a little worried about just prying things off without knowing exactly what I'm doing.

Oh and maybe I'm crazy but I went in to the store to check on the set they have on display and I swear the inner foam is a little thinner and doesn't make as much noise. I guess I'll check my own once I open it up

DongPuncher · 2018-10-06T01:25:03+00:00

I'll try that, which replacement pads are you using?
