At least she was your age and not 60.

of course, 'deletion' usually ends up being a removal of the primary reference to a file's location

NAND is NAND, same on USBs as on SSDs, just different quality and quantity of NAND

filesystems are lazy to avoid spending all that time writing zeros

>>904626

they're literally cutting corners

>>904627

>not making friends at the nursing home

>sd memory had been deleted

reformatted / factory reset != deleted

there's apps that have existed for a long time now that operate on the same principle as the desktop wipe versions.

-create a new file, fill new file with random data until device/partition is full, delete file; overwriting all free space in the process.

>>904743

What are the actual options of successfully recovering anything after that? Why do many wipe methods involve many passes (DOD 7 passess, Guttmann 36 passes iirc, etc.) if just one should be sufficient? Do military/glowinthedarks have ayyylmao technology which is effective at recovering data unless you keep wiping the medium for days on end before considering it wiped?

>>904743

>-create a new file, fill new file with random data until device/partition is full, delete file; overwriting all free space in the process.

Doesn't that shit basically kill your NAND though?

>>904617

she had sex with a dog?

>>904828

match the number of passes to your paranoia and patience. one should be more than enough without a million dollars in equipment.

>>904871

probably, that's why nobody recommends you do this with solid state, they (((recommend))) you don't wipe it at all and just don't write unencrypted data to it.

The only way to erase your data before selling a computer is erasing the master encryption key.

Some ssds actually write everything to disk encrypted and allow you to wipe the entire disk by having it forget the encryption key.

this is an old but good one - for the record i lived with my grandma at the time and we were trying to get her to be self reliant with her medicine. she was also in her mid 60s so not terribly old.

basically just got an idea of using MPTCP to boost my internet speed so I looked over at hidden directory of phone to see all the wifi passwords of friends, caffees and whatnot to send on my PC

i am actually curious what i can find. is it worth buying shit on craigslist and digging around. I personally just destroy my hard drives and SD cards when they are either broken or I am done with them.

>>905073

you're a shitty person and not any better than microsoft, you should feel bad.

>>905287

Photographers often enjoy finding used cameras with film still inside them. Some guy has a nice site all about the found film he has collected over the years.

>>905108

Crackheads have really good deals and they come right up to you when you're walking around. I got a PS Vita for $5 when they were new. It may not be worth $5 but whatever, the thing had no imperfections or anything. Sometimes I still use it.

Stolen laptops are all over craigslist in my area.

>>905307

>>905287

It seems like the best option is probably buying direct. Buy SD cards, buy hard drives. Do a block copy and resell them wether they have shit on them or not.

I wish crack was more popular where I live, but sadly I'm not from America. Second hand stuff on our Craiglist-like website is almost as expensive as buying new.

Maybe I should introduce crack here. It will both get me money and cheap second hand stuff to buy.

I don't know what the hell he thought he was doing, why would you do that on someone else's machine. Anyway, on further inspection it was hentai film, so I guess at least it wasn't CP, yay?.

what a reddit tier thread

My hearth was broken that day I used to know the guy he taught me a few things too.

Euthanasia now seems to me as an act of kindness now, compared to what she's going trough she would be better if her husband would have died that day.

>>905440

Should have put a filter on for the brain dead old geezer that directed him to the bare chested women in wheat fields site at least.

>>905073

>Euthanasia now seems to me as an act of kindness now, compared to what she's going trough she would be better if her husband would have died that day.

Because he watches tranny porn? Kek. Maybe he just lived long enough and has been married long enough to realize what utter shit real women are.

>>905378

but it is.

>>905440

Don't judge so quickly, those more experienced than you so. It may not fall in line with your own preferences, or maybe even seem strange, but it's unfair to judge it so hastily. There are things you do in your own free time that are odd to others.

>What are the actual options of successfully recovering anything after that?

Surprisingly above zero. In short, EVEN IF you FILL the device you CANNOT guarantee you will delete the data with solid state storage.

Once you have allowed data to touch the disk consider it permanently contaminated.

Solid state storage devices have a micro-controller that acts as the gatekeeper to the physical space where your data is stored. It performs error correction during data reads, and other useful functions. However, due to the manufacturing process of the storage device, no silicon is wasted even if it is not of best quality & reliable. What this means to you is - you may have a device with 256Gb of lower quality silicon that is sold to you as genuine 128Gb, with the error correction of the micro-controller ensuring your device is usable, and you ONLY EVER SEE 128Gb. So it may mark up to 128Gb as bad while moving your data to more reliable areas - this process is completely invisible to the end user.

So even though you have 'overwritten' or 'deleted' data, it may remain on the device in areas marked as bad. What is considered "bad" depends on the error correction algorithm, which depends on the firmware. Change the firmware, and you can unlock the 'bad' areas.

Furthermore, all manufacturers engage in this. The manufacturing companies tied to the big "trusted" names is like a rat maze. So even if you buy 2 SD cards from a top line vendor - at the physical level - they can be VERY different.

Caveat emptor!

>Because he watches tranny porn?

No because his wife is miserable now.

>but it's unfair to judge it so hastily

Without his wife he would be dead. He can't sustain himself. He is not the man that she new, he as completely different taste and memories, the brain tried to compensate the brain-cells that were damaged but it wasn't enough.

Living with the body of your husband but your husband is mentally dead is depressing.

>>904828

From what I recall with HDDs it should be possible to extract some information from how magnetized it is (bits that didn't change with one pass should have slightly different charges). The problem is the recovery is publicly theoretical, there have been prizes for it and nobody has ever managed. It's assumed, but not known, intelligence agencies can do it if the contents are valuable enough. The 7 passes I think were due to some "feature" of some specific disk, last time I checked the general opinion was that it's overkill for modern disks. As >>905953 said for SSDs it's different, you can never know if it truly erased all the data or if it isn't there somewhere.

What if I use full disk encryption and l only store files within that partition and when I decide to delete everything I wipe the whole SSD. I assume because everything is encrypted and the chance there is some data remaining it won't even be enough to recover the whole encrypted partition let alone a file stored within the partition.

I worked for a company with people that thought they could bring me home computers to "troubleshoot" while we're both at work.

Most people I say "sorry company doesn't let me" and other excuses. But for the women I'd fuck, of course I'll help and I'll usually tell them payment is anything I like I keep, then wink.

I've never had one balk but every one has nudes. The one I actually wanted to date had a crazy bestiality browsing obsession. We only went on one date to find out she was likely going to spend more time trying for puppies than kids.

The last year was when android was gaining popularity and blackberry was dead. Phones would get issued for work and most of them would use the phone to take and share nudes with guys.

Women are either senseless or CGAF

This assumes the gatekeeper to the physical storage isn't compromised already.
