  • Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

    So I came into a cheap CPU upgrade for my desktop. Went from a Pentium D 3.2GHz to a Xeon 3040 1.86.
    I use a Mac because I'm just better than you are.

            My laptop has passed on. Of course, taking with it my resume, a ton of digital art, a ton of unfinished writing projects, my iTunes library, and my sanity.

            The resume can be recovered from my e-mail, though I'll have to copypasta the whole thing back into Photoshop since I've lost the .psd. As for the artwork, what was unfinished will never be finished as I can't recreate .psds out of .pngs/.jpgs. And the writing is also gone /sigh ... I hope to recover the data but fuck me, this sucks. And I've been told you can't retrieve your music data from your iPod without iTunes, though that one I haven't verified yet, but damn ... that's like 1300 songs. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-

            Yeah, yeah, back up your shit ... hard to do when your CD-ROM drive doesn't work and neither do your USB ports. Fucking POS...

            I'm not really sure what the hell happened. I never turn it off because I've had issues with it starting up in the past, so I went to bed Thursday night and when I woke up Friday, it was in this neverending loop of attempting to start (I'd hear the fan kick on for a sec or two, then cut back off). I really don't know what could cause it, but I called geek squad just to see if they'd recommend anything I hadn't tried (they didn't) and they eventually told me they'd come look at it for the low price of $299.99 to which I laughed in their face and said I'd just get another laptop for that price. Holy shit, what a ripoff.

            So yay. -.-

                        I keep pictures on here until I can take the time to burn them. Also any documents I don't want lost. I use this with some of the organizations I do flyers/newsletters for. I absolutely love it.

                          That will be helpful when I recover my data. As of right now, I've spent pretty much my last dollar (that I was saving, anyway, for a better PC for XIV) to buy a cheapo laptop. Because I'm sorry, I can't live without a computer for more than 24 hours.

                          I didn't really wanna play XIV anyway. I won't have time. Yeah ... :/

                          And considering I take better care of my computers than most people and I still don't know what the fuck happened, I really wasn't anticipating needing back up. At any rate, I'm still quite bummed.

                            If the harddrive itself is ok then there's always the option of extracting it from the dead husk of your old laptop and just plugging it into an external case. $20 ain't bad for a fairly comprehensive recovery of your data.

                            I'm in total agreement with Mhurron about Best Buy. Their standard policy for any machine that comes in is to wipe the harddrive. I've had a couple friends who lost all their data that way when trying to fix other issues.
