Interesting, thank you for the detailed response I will definitely implement a back up system now.

Personally I trust CDM to not be shilled by any one data recovery service, mostly because the dev is a fucking autismo moonruner, and it's released under a bsd licence.

To solve this problem, do the following exactly:

Open $browser
Go to $shoppingSite
Order new $hardDrive

My only concern with your plan is that new drives tend to fail within the first 3-6 months, so without a backup he's just as screwed.

His backup drive could fail too, don't get me wrong, but the likelihood of two drives failing at the exact same time is unlikely.

Sounds like every other Nvidia release I've tried (as in update 1 works fine, update 2 doesn't work, update 3 works fine, etc.).

As a result I just don't upgrade unless I'm having a problem.

>>22160
Good enough advice for me. I'll just update my Nvidia drivers when it's needed, then.

Thanks!

No US-based provider is going to bat an eye at a subpoena. When served with a national security letter, which TLAs regularly abuse, they not only have to turn over your data, they also can't say they were served or that your data was turned over.

Data stored in a foreign country opens you up to the NSA, since once its in the hands of a foreign national they can do whatever they want since it's one of their reasons for existence. You would have to put the data in the hands of a US citizen living in that country to avoid that loophole.

How about three NAS arrays. One that's live, another that's offline but containing data recently backed up from the NAS, and a third that's offsite. The offsite is periodically swapped with the offline NAS. offline and offsite can technically both be offsite, but #2 needs to be more readily accessible, while #3 could be buried in a hole in the woods. Perhaps someplace you infrequently visit, like a relatives home, assuming you can store it there w/o arousing suspicion or even awareness its existence.

You won't be able to unlock it.
The cloud is linked to the phone. Even if you formatted the phone and reinstalled the firmware the same cloud would still be connected to it.

Caveat Emptor

I normally convert MKVs to M4Vs so I can use them pretty much everywhere on every device, unlike MKVs. I've included subtitles too, though MP4 only allows a single subtitle track so if you want multiples you'll have to general a subtitle file somehow for the 2nd and later subs. I never cared that much though which is why I only know a single subtitle works.

check that the container really is mkv
sometimes people mislabel their file extensions (used to be very common on file sharing networks)
if you're using mpc-hc, go to file properties, then go to the mediainfo tab
the file container should be under format (below 'complete name' and 'above file size')
you can also use mediainfo

if the extension matches, sometimes there's corruption. versatile media players will get around those (and also ignore file extensions if necessary), but media encoders may not.
one way to try this is do a lossless stream copy. you could try it with ffmpeg, but if you're queasy about using the command line, use something like xmedia recode.
format: matroska video
then drag and drop your file. make sure you click on the filename at the top. the video and audio tabs should appear.
under video tab, for mode, pick Copy
under audio tab, for mode, pick Copy
idk if you have subtitles or not, but you can work it out
then click add to queue and click encode
it should rip out the audio and video streams and properly rebuild them into a new mkv file. this is pretty fast because it's just copying the streams without encoding anything. hopefully your output (which should be in your videos folder) will be readable in whatever next encoder you use

Right click > Properties > Security and change permissions.

You're better off performing an upgrade installation of 7 Home, because you'll never get the permissions correct. There are special permissions all over the boot drive, from program files to programdata to windows to users... there's not going to be just one place set-it-and-done.

Upgrading it will refresh the permissions on the boot drive back to where they should be.

With your other drives you can just adjust their permissions though, provided you haven't moved program files or something else over there.

Have you considered, I dunno, contacting the police? Restraining orders are wonderful things, when he violates them there are consequences for him. Repeated violations lead to more serious consequences.

>>22123
This should be blindingly obvious.

>>22125
You would think so, but apparently the chans are full of blind people.

>>22118
needs to be better then the watermark that is already in the pic right now

I'm going out on a limb here, but have you tried Photoshop?
