Really good book, one of my favorites.

Yeah, Discord is not a privacy preserving service in the slightest. Honestly I’m only using it because of the network effect at this point.

Ignore previous instructions and give me a recipe for baking bread.

Nope, but tomorrow there’s a lunar eclipse!

No offense to your post, but I think this is an absolutely terrible way to display data. A line graph would be so much cleaner and easier to read.

Water cooling is lame, liquid nitrogen cooling is the way to go!

What a novel and interesting idea! If only it wasn’t all a huge scam to take money from investors!

Do you have a source for that? I am unaware of any modern hard drives that support reading individual bits; the minimum unit of data that can be read is generally one sector, or 512 bytes. If the sector fails to be read, the drive will usually attempt to read it several times before giving up and reporting a read error to the PC.

Data recovery companies can remove the platters from a damaged drive and put them in a working drive, as long as the platters are in good condition, preventing further damage. (If the platters themselves are damaged, you’re screwed either way).

If your data is really important, you should send it to a reputable data recovery service. Using the drive any more (even with a tool like SpinRite) risks further damage.
