New Yorker: When Your Digital Life Vanishes. “DriveSavers receives some twenty thousand inquiries each month. It has saved data for government agencies, multinational corporations, and more than a few celebrities, whose autographed portraits beamed from the lobby walls.

Anyone can assist me, but I'm mostly writing to the blind community, as they may know the individual in question. I'm seeking a man named Xavier, who also goes by DJX. He has repaired many of my computers and sold me some over the years, but I can't seem to get in touch with him. The last time I received anything from him was in 2024, so I'm not even sure if he checks the e-mail address I have for him. I sent him an e-mail a week ago and haven't heard from him. I will send another. I just hope he's okay. Apparently, someone said he made a post to Blind Ads in July of 2025. If no one knows him, I heard there is someone else on that list named Kevin. I also remember someone with the last name Washington who works on computers.

I need the hard drive on my Toughpad FZ M1 Mk3 to be upgraded and for Windows (either 11 or 7) to be reinstalled. I also need the keyboard replaced and for Windows to be upgraded from 7 Starter to Professional on my Acer Aspire One D270. I may upgrade the drive on that as well.

Easily #Replaceable #USBCPort Spawned By EU Laws

"The USB-C port has become a defacto connectivity standard for modern devices, largely supplanting the ugly mess of barrel jacks and micro USB connectors that once cursed us. While their reliability is good, they don’t last forever, and can be a pain to replace in most devices if they do fail. However, a new part from JAE Electronics could change that."

Ich suche in Nord- oder Mitte #Berlin nach einem guten Ort, wo man Hilfe bekommt beim Laptops reparieren.

Ich habe einen Laptop der misteriöse crashes hat, nur die Hälfte des verfügbaren RAMs anzeigt und bei hoher Last abstürzt. Ich vermute ein Problem auf dem Motherboard.

Ich würde natürlich auch Geld dafür bezahlen oder ihn in Auftrag geben lassen.
