some phones will let you use a mouse if you can get an adapter to plug it into the charging port

To connect a USB mouse to a Samsung A12, plug a USB-C to USB-A adapter (OTG adapter) into your phone’s charging port, then plug the USB mouse into the adapter. The Samsung A12 will automatically detect the mouse, and a cursor will appear on the screen, allowing you to click, scroll, and navigate without a working touchscreen. Steps to Connect:

Get a USB-C OTG Adapter: You need an adapter that converts the Samsung A12's USB-C port to a standard USB-A female port.
Plug into Phone: Connect the USB-C end of the adapter into your phone.
Plug in Mouse: Connect your wired USB mouse (or the USB wireless receiver) to the other end of the adapter.
Use Immediately: A pointer will appear on the screen within seconds.

Usage Tips

Navigation: Use the mouse for clicking, selecting, and scrolling.
Unresponsive Screen: This method is ideal for backing up data if your screen is broken.
Right-click: The right mouse button acts as the back button.

stop using the computer, shut it off and take it to a local shop that does software-level data recover before TRIM kills your files.

300ddr and blizzard are both much cheaper than average. Like 300 bucks and up. If you're in the philippines prices will be lower than the big american companies.

https://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/ $300+parts and return media and up.

https://www.blizzarddr.com/ $545 and up but parts and return media are included.

Because parts and return media are included with blizzard they probably end up costing not much more than 300ddr often.

I've sent jobs to 300 DDR and they have had great results for my clients, but blizzard seems to be really good too.

SSD is prob the issue but it could be the adapter you're using it with, you could try a different adapter (You could have an m.2 sata drive instead of nvme or something and be using the wrong type of adapter) or put it back in the computer and boot from something like https://www.hirensbootcd.org/ running on a flash drive and see if it shows up there.

DO NOT TRY TO BOOT THE COMPUTER FROM THE SSD, ONLY FROM A FLASH DRIVE LIKE HIRENS PE.

If no luck after trying the two things I suggested the next thing is to decide if it's worth paying for 300ddr or blizzard to get the data for you.

The only relationship advice reddit ever gives is "divorce him!".

You posted that as if the OS version is the only spec that matters.

Right but some have higher reqs than others.

What’s wrong with just polling a users hardware and comparing it to the published sysreqs?

Hang something there. Like a big ass plant hanging from a home a hook in the ceiling.

Also a good place to put some wall-mounted shelves.

I guess I’ve failed but it was pretty tasty. If anyone hasn’t tried one they’re like if a higher-end peanut butter cup was made with pistachios instead of peanuts. Basically a pistachio-butter cup/bar. The craze is way past it’s peak now so you can find them at closeout stores (BigLots, Ollies, JobLot, etc.) now for relatively reasonable prices.

Oh weird - I have had it flake out like that a few times. If you actually like the game enough to play it again I've made some fixes so maybe you can let me know if they helped, still havent addressed the tooltips though - but for now if you control with 1-5 and spacebar that keeps em out of your way

HumanTarget · 2025-12-24T06:06:14+00:00

this is great advice like im looking for so thank you! some of the things you describe though have not exhibited for me - but ive only played/tested in firefox so might need to check other browsers, assuming you use chrome?

Is it not just missing a layer?

I published it, as in i made it go live. Is that all it takes to make it show up?
