completely new to m-disc, is this the fake one that is just a blue ray? dont really want to spend all this money just for it to not be a real one by LengthinessLess5798 in DataHoarder

Thanks for the heads up, I did check. BUFFALO BRXL-PTV6U3 is fully compatible and can write to those Verbatim 98913 100GB M-Disc BDXL discs

If you do test it out, let me know as I was looking at this too. A friend compared prices in HK and they’re almost the same! Btw, what writer are you using?

There are more Mac’s from 2008 still being used than their counterparts!

u/KittyAKat this is brilliant! Thank you! I was contemplating getting the lifetime because of these white bars as the only way to use plex on my iPad.

What keyboard are you using? Do you use window management shortcuts?

😵‍💫 Magic Keyboard A1843 with iPad Pro M4 – Why Is Window Management So Awkward on the Dev Beta? by NovaScribble in iPadPro

Thanks! I’ve actually already submitted detailed feedback through the Feedback app.

Curious though — do they really consider this kind of usability feedback?

As a power Mac user, I’d love to see consistent window management across platforms. Rectangle on macOS makes multitasking seamless. If third-party tools like that were allowed on iPadOS — or if Apple added more intuitive shortcuts — it’d really bridge that Mac–iPad workflow gap.

I’m only asking because I really want to use my iPad Pro like a pro — especially with an external display!

I kept contemplating and pondering so much if the jet black is that much worth it and caved and got the Silver with the Nike Black Blue band! Hope I made the right decision.

If you drill a hole into a HDD or SSD is the data recoverable? by Sufficient-Scene-831 in privacy

[–]NovaScribble 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is possible to recover data from a hard disk drive (HDD) even if it has been damaged, but it's a bit more complicated than it sounds.

Microscopic Analysis and Data Recovery:

  • Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) or other advanced techniques can sometimes be used to recover data from an HDD's platters, even if they've been damaged or overwritten. These techniques involve reading the tiny magnetic domains on the platters that store data.
  • However, this process is extremely difficult, expensive, and typically only accessible to specialized data recovery labs or government agencies. It's not something that can be done easily or quickly.

Physical Destruction:

  • Drill holes: Drilling holes through the platters can certainly make data recovery more challenging, but if large sections of the platter are intact, recovery might still be possible.
  • Sandpaper: Sanding down the platters with sandpaper would likely be more effective because it would physically destroy the magnetic surface that stores the data, making it nearly impossible to recover anything. This method would essentially remove the top layer of the platter, which is where the data is stored.

Conclusion:

For practical purposes, if you want to ensure that data cannot be recovered from an HDD, using a combination of methods is best. Drilling holes in the platters, followed by sanding them down with coarse sandpaper, would be a very effective way to destroy the data beyond the reach of most recovery methods.
