Damn this one is tough my best guess LJ is like how the manufacturer tracks it internally or something like that and the 349 could be like eat before the 349th day of that year. Again this is just a guess probably contact the manufacturer to be 100% clear what that means.

A hell of a deal

Wouldn’t the light also wake the wife up

Damn that is genius

I rather buy used ssds off eBay from a known brand.

Top of my head: chip away at the boulder and take it piece by piece

Just to clarify to not confuse OP. When you say dilute that means mixing it with another oil, right? Like coconut oil or something?

Regardless of where you get your secondhand drives do yourself a favor and make sure they package them correctly (antistatic bag, 1-2inches of bubblewrap and a cardboard box) by messaging for that. That’s my biggest complain when I brought used drives. Think Serverpartdeals and goharddrive are the main eBay sellers with great reps but I sadly haven’t done business with them so can’t verify

Damn that is interesting as hell I honestly had no clue I really appreciate it. Think I’ll order one with my next paycheck and a wrist strap

Edit: Just so I can understand 100% since the conductivity of the mat is doing most of the work why wouldn’t a sheet of conductive metal work here? Assuming both the person and electronic is in contact.

Wait so you can use a static dissipating mat without it being connected to a grounding outlet and still be protected? Why do mats even have the option of grounding then, is it just for added insurance?

Appreciate it and yeah I did the test already. There’s no equipment ground and its labeled as such

Ohh its not my house and homeowner said it will be potentially expensive and will need professional help finding a suitable place to drive the rod in to not cause damage. I agreed and that was that

Also mint mobile recently but yeah data = money. Had to search up Ashley Madison and I’m sorry you went through that

Yeah absolutely they can if you’re using poor online security. The most common would be through reused passwords since websites have breaches all the time. This can easily be mitigated with the help of a password manager and 2fa (stick with totp, passkeys and hardware security keys). The second most likely method would be through phishing schemes, where a realistic looking message from a website/app is sent to you and you input your account credentials. AI is also making this much more difficult since realistic sounding voices of loved ones can be used to trick you into sending over your account credentials but that would be more of a targetted attack. You really just need to be aware of what you’re doing, not click on links unless you were expecting them, and double check identifying information from the sender to protect yourself from this. The last method is really a targetted attack and thats social engineering. This is where a scammer calls in to support pretending to be you, with personal information most likely from online breaches, in hopes of gaining your account credentials. You would just really need to rely on your 2fa and the training of support reps to protect you from this. Mostly common with phone carriers so make sure 2fa is enabled there.

For desktop: Mullvad browser default settings no customization, always on vpn (mullvad), alias emails (Simplelogin is great and somewhat user friendly).

For Mobile depends on device but lets say not a google pixel but an android: seperate necessary intrusive apps via a work profile using shelter), use pwas as much as possible via a privacy friendly browser (I like mull + ublock extension), an always on vpn (tip: mullvad has the option to block trackers also), again alias emails, disable as much bloatware via adb, and lastly switch to foss alternatives for apps where you can.

Besides that dont fall into your normal patterns/interests switch it up between each identity. Hope that helps

Either works, if you dont trust them encryption is always an option

Sorry to ask and I mean no harm but how serious is eating pork? I’m not religious at all

For bless you think it started because of the old wives tale that states that when someone sneezes, they skip a heartbeat or something similar.

Damn wasnt expecting this, rest in peace

The human body is pretty weak so anything in high concentrations can probably kill us. It’s no steel
