#Recovery Of Data

[ilikeit-art]

Have you ever wondered how tech technicians recover data from faulty flash and memory whose data cannot be recovered by normal methods.

i just did something ive never done before…which was in planning to duplicate an art piece pre attempting to make drastic adjustments…deleted it…

If anyone knows anything about Wordpad file recovery - my diary for the last two years is only displaying NULLs when I open it, both in Wordpad and Notepad++, but in the preview when I search for it I can see the first couple lines, and it's shows up in a search for a keyword I know I don't have in any other file

Is there a temp file I can get into? I don't care about formatting, I just don't want to lose two years of ideas and thoughts...

I know so many people say, “healing is not linear.”

But what does that even mean?

What’s up or down?

Is it a parabola instead?

Is healing a mathematical function where time is on the x-axis???

Maybe they mean that healing is NOT a function - it’s not a one-to-one function.

Healing is another type of relation… maybe? But what two sets of information are we even relating? Time and… your trauma? Growth? Some metric of “progress?”

Maybe healing is NOT a set of ordered pairs of ambiguous variables.

Do we then approach healing as its own set of complex variables that we correlate with time then? Knowing that… correlation does not imply causation, and we are simply observing healing as a process… and not manipulating or forcing it to our will with any sort of preconceived notions? (please note: we are not doing any sort of correlation analysis - just observing (especially since so much of correlation analysis is linear function based)).

OR DO WE TAKE A BAYESIAN APPROACH??

DEEP LEARNING PERHAPS?!

…

Or maybe healing isn’t supposed to be something that gets confined, shaped, and prodded into a mathematical model.

Patterns do arise but they can’t always be quantified.

Maybe healing just is - and you try your best with what you have… as long as you know you’re trying.

hey guys did you know that uh

you should back up your data??? especially if you’re an artist? Please do this. please do it for me, remember me as i was

The way it works on most computers, when you "delete" a file or program (including emptying the "recycle bin" in Windows), it's not actually instantly erased from the memory on the hard drive. It just means that the part of the memory that's occupied by the file/program is marked as being available to be overwritten by new data if necessary. The deleted object becomes part of the "free memory" on the hard drive, in other words. This is why it's possible to perform "data recovery" of deleted files, if you can locate the part of the memory that they were stored in, and they haven't been overwritten with new data yet. It also means that if you really want something to be truly, irrevocably removed from your computer memory, you can use "file shredder" software to make sure that it's overwritten (but even then, there are apparently some advanced data recovery techniques that might be able to recover the erased stuff, completely or partially).

What would this mean in the Tron universe? If we assume that "derez" is just another word for "delete", it could be possible that the Programs we see getting "killed" might be "resurrected" through data recovery. When we see Programs fade away, maybe they've just been relocated to some kind of shadowy limbo in the system memory, awaiting their final overwriting by new data.

Take poor Ram, for example. When Flynn has returned to the Real World after his adventures, it might be possible for him to restore the friendly actuarial Program if he can locate the memory in which he was stored (which shouldn't be too hard for a genius programmer/hacker, right?). He would have to be quick about it, however, since I imagine that deleted files could be overwritten fairly soon in a big corporate network with multiple Users like the ENCOM system. Once he's gotten over the thrill of being back home and having defeated Dillinger, I'd like to think that he hurries over to a computer in the empty offices and does his best to restore his digital companion during the same night, since it might be too late once the building opens for business the next day. I'm sure Roy Kleinberg would appreciate it as well.

I also like to imagine what would happen if you're not quick enough to restore a derezzed program, if their data has already been partially overwritten. Would they show up missing an arm or a leg, or a chunk of their head? Would their mind have been altered in some way?

This could also mean that the digital world has their own versions of "ghosts", depending on what happens to derezzed-but-not-yet-overwritten Programs. Maybe there are stories going around about feeling the presence of dead Programs in places where they used to live, or seeing shadowy images of them in the corner of your eye, or hearing their voices whisper from far away.

Also, in this case a "file shredder" Program would probably be a pretty intimidating figure: A sinister "ghost hunter" who goes around the system, with the goal of making sure that the dead stay dead, their memories and secrets being buried with them.

Spamton reminds me of silly raccoon

By spamton I meant like the all 3 (Addispam, Bs and the one we see in game)

The way u draw him is just so silly

Personally, he's a feral cat to me (element 7)

🚨 COVID19 WEATHER REPORT: HOLIDAY SPIKE RAGES ACROSS USA 🚨

1/1/2024: Okay! Things are bad! We're JUST beginning to see how many people caught COVID-19 during the holidays. Right now it's moving through the USA causing AT LEAST 2 million infections per day (and that's the under-counted government numbers alone).

During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID. Different areas will peak at different times, so keep an eye on your local numbers.

Reminder: All our viral data (recorded infections, deaths, wastewater viral count, etc) works on a 2 week delay - the length of COVID-19's initial acute phase where people are contagious and shedding viruses.

We want to slow the current spike down as much as we can by using respiratory masks like N95s, air filtration, and isolating and testing for COVID-19 multiple times after exposure. Hopefully we'll hit the peak soon (and not get hit as hard as Omicron in 2022).

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE! RESPIRATOR MASKS STILL PROTECT US

Respirator masks like N95s and KN95s use electrostatic filters that block at least 95% of dangerous virus-carrying respiratory aerosols, and can be adjusted to fit snugly around your nose and mouth. The few viruses get in, the less "sick" you'll get during the acute phase, and the less long-term damage they'll cause to your vascular and immune system (aka Long COVID).

If you are sick, please stay home and REST for as long as you can - the goal is 14 DAYS even if the surface symptoms seem "mild". People physically need rest to prevent worse damage to our organs. We need immediate emergency aid from our local and federal government to keep people staying HOME and fed and with medicine like Paxlovid.

If you are forced to work while sick, please wear a well-fitted N95/KN95 respirator mask to prevent further outbreak (but surgical/cloth masks are better than none). Avoid CROWDED PLACES, COVERED SPACES, and CLOSE CONVERSATIONS. Stay hydrated and eat easy, bland food, keep cleansing your sinuses and throat with nasal sprays/CPC mouthwash, and take ibuprofen/aspirin instead of tylenol for pain. If you keep struggling to breathe and you can't get enough oxygen, you need emergency hospitalization (look for blue/purple/grey tips to fingers, tongue, lips).

Please take care of yourself and each other! We will get through this.

So deletion on computers doesn’t actually immediately destroy the information. Instead that information just gets marked as inaccessible and okay to overwrite. The information is still there. You can find it. But they can come back wrong if you revive them, because of the new data written over them.

Which makes me think… if the machine itself was sentient… would deletion even actually make them forget? would they dream of increasingly corrupted deleted memories? traumatic memories dumped into the trash, left to twist and corrupt as each byte of horrible data is overwritten. in the end is it even better to have deleted it? having fitful dreams where the faces become blacked out by red and green and static. you no longer can see yourself in it because the data that made visuals of you in it has been overwritten. the emotions associated twist until they are no longer recognizable.

you have accidentally deleted your most cherished memories. you struggle to bring them back, unfortunately having labored too long. they come back with overwritten emotions and crumbling video. 1s and 0s switched and scrambled by new data. you will never experience them as they were again. you can only recall a shattered and broken memory. you cannot help but curse yourself for having taken away your own happiness, accident or not

Mysterious schematics, mainframes, and preventing worldwide destruction in "What If...?"

When I started the second season of What If…?, I didn’t expect that the first episode (entitled “What If… Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?”) would center on mysterious mechanics, data cores, and secrecy! The first season didn’t have it as directly, apart from one episode (“What If…Ultron Won?“) with a scene almost like one out of Raiders of the Lost Ark, although I compared the Watcher to an…

Happy SCARturday everyone!

Today I celebrate Louis’ SCAR cause I like it a lot 🥰 and I wish people would find scars, stretch marks, acne marks, birthmarks, vitiligo, body hair more and were more kind to themselves

Expect a lot of reblogs of Louis’ arm all day <3

Middle East latest: US envoy arrives in Lebanon to meet with officials about possible cease-fire

By  THE ASSOCIATED PRESSUpdated 7:25 PM GMT+6, November 19, 2024Share

A U.S. envoy has arrived in Beirut to meet with Lebanese officials about a possible cease-fire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.

Amos Hochstein, a senior advisor to United States President Joe Biden, arrived Tuesday, a day after Hezbollah reportedly gave a positive response to a U.S. draft proposal to end the war, which has been ongoing for more than 13 months.

The U.S. has been working on a proposal to end hostilities that would remove Israeli ground forces from Lebanon and push Hezbollah forces away from the Israeli border. More Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers would be sent to the buffer zone in southern Lebanon as part of the deal....Read More
