So, my first goto with an unresponsive external would be to remove the drive from its enclosure. Typically these are retail internal hard drive that are put in an enclosure with a small circuit board that converts SATA to a USB or firewire and sometimes those die.
If you "shuck" the drive and connect it directly to a computer internally via SATA you can bypass that board.

Next step is put the drive in your freezer for an hour or so then pull it out and connect it immediately. Sometimes this frees them up and makes them work for a short while, enough to copy some of the data off.

Drives not being recognized also sometimes happens if they corrupt one sector that's part of the file system tables and not the actual file system. The drive may be there but not have a file system for windows to read So there's some other tricks you can try using Linux tools to dump the exact bit for bit contents of the drive, and pass them thru an analyzer that will try to pick out what's likely of the file structure.

However, still given the drives age, I'll almost guarantee it's experienced a full mechanical failure and there might not be anything to recover...

They don't even subsidize farmers directly, its commodity priced inputs. It mostly goes to the middleman companies that turn everything into processed preserved shit.

Your house is insanely easy to break into unless it's built with special materials or has steel bars over all openings.

Disregarding the fact that windows break, pretty much every residential door (both interior and exterior) can be busted down by anyone with a decent body weight or with a framing hammer. Hammer thru the door skin, or claw pry on the jamb to force the latch to release, or even just bodyslamming it can be enough to separate the lock block and stiles and the doors will simply fall apart from there.

I can't help but wonder how long it will be before Trump deportation flights start landing in Russia instead of El Salvador.

44% approve. Only dropped to 44%? Insanity.

Can you hear or feel the drive spinning with the power and USB plugged in?

Do you have a second computer (Linux or windows) to also try it in?

A brief search seems to indicate this drive is a minimum of 15 years old, which is an incredible age for a portable mechanical drive. I would honestly be preparing yourself to be dealing with this drove finally being cooked beyond repair. Sure hope you kept backups of what was on it!

m not a doctor but my understanding of high blood pressure as a chronic illness is that it’s a long term game. High pressure on your arteries and heart over many years increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. It’s less relevant as a short term problem.

This isn't always the case. Some cases of hypertension that are not lifestyle related can reach life threatening levels (as in, embolism or burst blood vessel or heart failure) if not treated regularly.

It won't remain targeting just non-whites for very long.

Marshals are an arm of the DoJ. They are compromised and not useful anymore.

Very bold of them to assume that corporations won't immediately use force to bust these unions and make any participants homeless and unrentable as an example.

Be careful when describing Lemmy as a "privacy valuing" service.

Your personal identity privacy is improved, yes, as there are no corporations to actively sell this data... but your identity (the email and info you signed up with) is at the whims of the admins of whatever instance you signed up for, and hoping their opsec is good.

The privacy of your content does not exist at all. Anything you post including direct messages is blasted out across the entire fediverse to ALL federated servers, where you have NO control who is downloading and storing it.

You should treat Lemmy like it is a early 2000s forum site, where you should feel comfortable saying what you like, but never use anything personally identifying anywhere on your profile (including a personal email during sign up), never share anything personal in DM's, and consider a proxy/VPN to further obscure your ID from instance admins.

Cool, call up the army to start enforcing shit or piss the fuck off

 

Reminder that Bentz voted to overturn the 2020 election as a freshman Representative. Doesnt give a single flying fuck about the majority of his rural district that is largely dependent on these federal dollars and jobs to have any semblance of an economy. Nazi traitors gonna trait.

 

It sure will be nice for them to control all radio spectrum too, since all amateur and open use bands will be valued at 0$ and be immediately sold off to a corporate owner.

 

LITERALLY USING A SALES TAX ON CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR BILLIONAIRE TAX BREAKS

 

Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

 

"Reee we're losing well paid jobz!!1"

Hmm, I wonder what they voted for. Let's see....

No big surprise!
