it's important to be aware of the ways our body speaks to us too in order to heal ourselves more accurately

Fumes Carrier

I’m so exhausted. I did so much at storage this weekend. A total of 9.5 hours of going through stuff and moving boxes. It took so much out of me. Plus I’m worried about Chloe being sick and about it costing money and about having to buy a new car and having to take out an auto loan. I have rarely napped since starting the Provigil, but I’ve napped for a few hours every day this week, without feeling rested. I’m frustrated at how many recovery days I seem to need. Cfs/me really sucks when it flares. And I have to get up early again tomorrow because Chloe has a checkup appointment at 10:30. I think I’m going to sleep right where I am in the recliner because Chloe is comfortable in her hammock. This way I can have her near me and know she’s ok. I know I’m just babbling at this point. Thank the exhaustion and anxiety. I just want my girl to be ok, and I hate that I worry about the money as much as I worry about her getting better. Does that make me a horrible person?

The backup challenge

Above: Hard disk platters. Photo by Mark Lyndersay. BitDepth#1495 for January 27, 2025 It’s been a while since backing up your data was a topic in this space. Six weeks ago, I tried to recover files from a camera memory card. After deep-scanning the solid-state memory, many files were found, but not the ones the owner was looking for. Deletion marks data as erased, but doesn’t actually remove…

SanDisk USB Flash Drives Specifications and Features

SanDisk provides a large selection of USB flash drives with different specifications. Usually, the storage capacities fall between 16GB and 1TB, though some models have 256GB or 512GB available.

I’ve had my tech career focus on storage, data, and disaster recovery for the last few years. This is really important advice, but for the reason that all solid state memory has a certain number of reads and writes it’s made for.

If you have an old spinny drive, your computer will only read when it needs to because it has to power up the motor. With a flash drive or SD card, it doesn’t have to do that so it will just keep reading until the memory chips give out. This is the same reason why people in the gaming PC community give the advice to put your computer’s OS and your games on separate drives.

It’s also worth noting that these data forensics companies most likely can recover your data, but they charge the same amount for a failed memory chip that they do for something that’s been through a house fire, even though the process for them is different.

PSA- TAKE YOUR FLASHDRIVE OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER

If you are not using your flashdrive to actively back things up- TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER! DO IT NOW! RIGHT. NOW.

Yesterday one of my flashdrives stopped working. My mom took it to our local computer guy to find out what was wrong with it and the guy said the the ONLY way that it could POSSIBLY (not definitely, POSSIBLY) be recovered is by sending it to a FORENSICS COMPANY that charges NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS ($950) as a flat rate for this service. IF the stuff can even be recovered.

The computer guy said that he has seen all types of flashdrives, no matter the quality, fail because people don't know that they need to take them out of their computers when they're not using them. A few of the things that can happen are the flashdrive can overheat or a virus could destroy it if your computer happens to pick up a virus.

I have thousands of pictures and videos on that flashdrive, precious, precious memories of kids I've worked with that I may never see again in my life and now I might have lost them because I didn't know to take my flashdrive out of my computer when I'm not using it. The cute pictures of my three new kittens I've been posting? On that flashdrive. Memories from holidays and birthdays and camping adventures might be lost forever.

TAKE. YOUR. FLASHDRIVE. OUT. OF. YOUR. COMPUTER!!!!!!

(please for the love of all that is good share this so other people don't have it happen too)

Protecting Your Scrapbooks from Natural Disasters: Safeguarding Memories in Uncertain Times

As fires rage in Los Angeles and much of the country endures dangerous cold, it’s a sobering reminder of the fragility of our lives—and our cherished possessions. For scrapbookers, the thought of losing albums filled with years of memories can be heartbreaking. Scrapbooks are more than paper and embellishments; they are a tangible connection to our past, a legacy for future generations. While we…

Storage Predictions for 2025: Larry O’Connor Explores the Future of Data Management

Storage Predictions for 2025: Larry O’Connor Explores the Future of Data Management

In this article by Larry O’Connor for LarryJordan.com, the founder and CEO of OWC shares his insightful predictions for the future of data storage in 2025. Highlighting the return to on-premises solutions, the democratization of AI through local implementation, and the growing performance gap between local and cloud-based systems, O’Connor provides a roadmap for businesses to optimize their storage strategies. These predictions focus on enhancing security, improving performance, and reducing costs—key considerations for data management in the digital era.

The Return of On-Premises Data Storage and Computing

O’Connor predicts a major resurgence in on-premises data storage and computing as organizations prioritize security, performance, and cost control. With cloud storage costs on the rise and vulnerabilities becoming more apparent, many businesses are turning to local solutions for critical data management. On-prem data storage offers faster access speeds, greater reliability, and enhanced protection against cyberattacks.

Smaller businesses, in particular, benefit from local storage since it is less attractive to cybercriminals compared to public cloud platforms. O’Connor emphasizes that the cloud should play a supporting role—serving as a tertiary backup or for external data sharing—while local solutions remain the primary strategy for data security. By reducing reliance on cloud storage, businesses can avoid bandwidth costs, accelerate data recovery, and maintain control over sensitive information.

On-Premises AI: Democratizing Technology and Protecting Intellectual Property

One of the most exciting predictions from O’Connor is the rise of on-premises AI. This shift enables smaller businesses to access powerful data processing tools without the high costs associated with cloud-based AI platforms. Running AI systems locally not only democratizes advanced technology but also protects proprietary data, algorithms, and customer insights from being exposed in the cloud.

O’Connor warns of the risks of “data bleed,” where proprietary information inadvertently enhances third-party systems or becomes accessible to competitors. On-prem AI ensures full control over sensitive data while eliminating recurring costs associated with cloud AI services. This makes on-premises AI a cost-effective and secure option for businesses looking to leverage AI capabilities.

The Expanding Performance Gap Between Local and Cloud-Based Systems

O’Connor’s third prediction underscores the growing performance gap between locally operated systems and cloud-dependent solutions. With advancements like Thunderbolt 5 technology, local systems now achieve data transfer speeds of up to 7000MB/s, far surpassing the 100MB/s typical of cloud-based systems.

This dramatic performance boost is essential for tasks such as video editing, high-resolution imagery processing, and managing complex data sets. By leveraging local systems, businesses can streamline workflows and significantly reduce the time and cost associated with cloud dependency. O’Connor suggests that cloud storage is best reserved for distribution and collaboration, while local solutions should handle performance-intensive tasks.

Conclusion: Embracing a Hybrid Storage Strategy

Larry O’Connor’s predictions for 2025 highlight a pivotal shift in data management strategies. Businesses are advised to embrace on-premises solutions for their speed, security, and cost advantages while using cloud services selectively for supplementary needs. Whether it’s safeguarding intellectual property, optimizing performance, or reducing expenses, on-premises storage and computing are poised to take center stage in the future of data management.

For organizations looking to stay ahead of the curve, O’Connor’s insights provide a clear path to success. By adopting a hybrid approach to data storage, businesses can harness the best of both local and cloud technologies, ensuring they remain competitive in an evolving digital landscape.
