Did you know the contacts to the head, preamp and the motor on regular spinning disks are not soldered nowadays? That's right, after some clever PLM engineering, companies decided NOT to do this. Why? It shortens the life span of the disk, thus, your disks die and you go and buy new ones.
Mitigation of this problem: Remove the controller board from the drive and solder (add solder) to all of the contacts that connect to something to the aluminium chassis of the disk.
Interesting, but I'm confused how it can be applied to piracy.
Gotta be a bot post, right?
Nothing would surprise me these days after seeing a Skyrim mod with an AI companion you can talk to.
who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks
I'm not sure it's a bot, but it's very questionable advice, and completely off topic. But I'm inclined to wait and see just how many downvotes it can accumulate just for the lolz 🤣
Meeh, just thought I'd share 🤷.
Plus, you gotta save your pirated data somewhere, right 😁.
