HELP!!

 

My portable external hard disk 2TB (WD MY passport) seems to have gone kaput.

 

It is showing up at task bar on connecting to the PC but none of its partitions are showing up.(Safely remove drive option also is working fine).   I have tried to check using some demo version of recovery software but they are not even able to find any partitions in the external drive. 

Disk management is showing up empty and asking to initialize the drive  (which i believe will format the disk fresh)

 

Any other suggestions to get data back :( 

 

Have loads of photos from many years on there and it was my main drive for storing data.

Any advise guys?

 

Can the computer shops who say they can recover the disks be trusted? Do they really have softwares we can't get hold off ?

 

Since I tried quite a few of them trial version to see if they even identify the disk but unfortunately none of them did

How much time will it take me to obtain a new postpaid sim?

 

I'm going to Kashmir on Tuesday, and my prepaid sim will not work there. I wish to get a new one tomorrow, so I can make calls and use the net when I'm there.

 

I'm going for a week.

Qnap 653D mainly because its small and portable despite being 6-bay and has its own 4K HDMI output for direct play. Adding two 14TB drives at first and then will go from there.

 

Hi, did you proceed with this? Qnap models aren't readily available here so looking at Synology. Looking at 2bay models, since don't have such huge data. Eyeing DS220+

 Any advice?

Thanks.

I need some help:

 

I won a giveaway for the Apex Legends Battle Pass. Since the person doing the giveaway is from the US, they need a Paypal email.

I don't have one. I can create one, but I don't think I will be able to use that on the PS Store in India? I have an Indian PS account. 

 

----Its all legit, the person hosting the giveaway is a professional eSports player who I've watched for a long time.

Are they transferring money equivalent of the battle pass because if that is what's gonna happen then you'll just get the cash in your account. 

I'm not sure how else this can work out because there is no actual way to gift stuff on Psn. Maybe a code but even then why would they need your PayPal id. 

 

Yes, since the money equivalent to buying the battle pass. 

 

Does anyone here have a paypal enabled which can receive a transfer from the US? Its only like 10$. 

 

----- thanks adity, you're the man

My info might be a bit outdated but create a Paypal account and link it to your bank account. When they transfer the money it will get sent directly to your bank account converted to INR. If they are comfortable with other payment methods https://wise.com/in is the one I use. You will need to send your bank info for that thought.

Can you add multiple stops when navigating in Apple maps(iOS 14.4, iPhone 11)?

  I am totally lost that I couldn't find this option at all!!  

Found online that you need to add it like a restaurant or petrol stop but it's not providing me option to input any location but rather fetching those category destinations nearby to be added.

 

Are people using Apple phone really fine with this? i.e they just use Google maps?

 

PS.  I can't install any app on this as it's company phone that just is used for mails. Thought to use it for navigation atleast, but NOPE.

Nope, you don't need knowledge of C/C++. What you would need in future is knowledge of data structures, so I would suggest to start learning Python form sources like freecodecamp or maybe even something from Coursera if you have the time.

But creating a "software" will include lot more than Python, so I guess you are probably just writing a program or a script. So in case you just want to automate or just want to run some commands sequentially, you probably won't even need much data structures.

 

These kind of software must be available online? open-source? You can have a look at those and learn from them.

My software is already in works with a local company but im not happy with how complicated they have made it. I tried available options but none does what i need. Yes looks like il also need to learn something about front ends too. Software has evolved so much . When i learned HTML back in the day it was so simple :roflroll:

Thanks for the input . Guess il try learning in rainy season when i get good free time :)

I am not sure if this is the right thread for this but can I DM a PS4 "expert" who knows it like the back of his/her/their hand ? or should I ask it here and post pictures ?


It may be better to just ask here so more people can try and help you out?

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll just do that.

 

 

 

 

I'm thinking of purchasing a preowned PS4 Slim 500 GB which is 1 year old and used little. They are charging me 17K as a whole with 5 AAA titles installed onto it. Please see the representational pictures below. Do Digital or Installed titles hold less "value" than their physical counterparts. What else should I keep in mind ? Should I wait for a price drop and discount after PS5 re-stocks or should I pull the trigger on the warranty expired one described above ?

 

I don't know why I'm unable to insert images

Don't buy digital games. Don't pay for them.

It's an absolutely no no. These are linked to an account, they will have to give that as well which is not legal. Also, the screen shows me that it wasn't connected to PSN, so it could be possible that the account is banned and can only work offline or games where bought with stolen CCs. Or could be that Ps4 gets banned.

 

Ask them to connect to PSN and then send you pics. But anyway, don't pay for the account and games, if they force then walk away from the deal.

Thankyou!, I didn't even knew that. You may have just saved me. I asked them the same and yes it was an account people pass around on illegal trading groups.

These games aren't worth a whole lot tbh. 17k is too much. 

Thankyou, such input was what I was looking for.
