Trying to fix a user's laptop, and I think the SSD is dying. Of course she has no backups of the 200+ GB of useless poo poo on her drive. Every time I try to copy poo poo from the drive (removed from the machine and attached to a Mac via a drive dock + a M.2-to-SATA adapter) the drive will just disappear after about 800 MB transferred. On a PC, I can't even get into her user folder to grab poo poo because the drive won't stay operational long enough for the read permissions to her user folder to be applied. CHKDSK tries, then shits itself when the drive disappears. The Mac at least ignores permissions on external drives. I can copy a few hundred MB at a time. I don't want to be mean, but she's not worth that level of effort. Frustrating me all to hell.

Have you tried imaging the drive instead of trying to modify the files on the drive?

I think the governments completely ignoring puppy mills will completely destroy quite a few breeds, and that's not even considering the ones already completely ruined in the name of cuteness.

One of the local news sites puts an adblocker warning replacing their videos that previously would have autoplayed at 300% volume.

They sure showed me :allears:
