    That's more like a list of common misconceptions.

    If by "amazing" you mean amazingly old, then yes. There were a couple new entries added, so I guess it wasn't a complete repost.

    With the warranty on my laptop, if anything goes wrong then they will replace the laptop, or give me equal credit towards buying a new one. I brought it in to them and they wanted to charge me $60 JUST to do a backup before sending it in. I laughed in their faces and told them that I could get a new 500gig external HD for with that money, do it myself, and still have at least ~450gig of new porn space.

    Pic related, it's the one that should be arriving Thursday



    This is probably a question for tech, but think those guys that get sent all these laptops to "fix" are bored enough to restore deleted files just in the off chance of finding something juicy? I have a bunch of noodz of friends that I don't really want getting out there, lol

    I would imagine there are rules against accessing private data on the drives. If the drives are damaged or deleted and have been written over, it takes really expensive equipment to recover those files and they're not going to have that in a simple repair shop.

    I figured as much, but I'm sure these aren't new rules, and they still get out there I'm also sure that the vast majority of those stolen were not hidden at all, so I'm not really worried. I'm not illiterate, but I also don't know any more about programming than the few things that I've needed to teach myself for this or that

    If the files have been written over once they were deleted, recover my files and stuff like that won't work.

    I worked with EnCase a while ago, shit was gold. Until you ran into people who were expecting it to be used.

    My husband was quoted $300+ to try to recover files off a damaged laptop harddrive recently (pretty sure its physical damage, since plugging it in via USB it shows the drive but no usage info, and is inaccessable by any program). I really didn't want to lose the photos and family videos that I had on it, but the price is just too high... I could see a business using the service to recover financial records, but what kind of lay-person would pay that much just to get back some files? I'm still trying to locate backups of the stuff that was on the drive before we send it in to be replaced, but the drive itself is pretty much shot at this point >.>

    There are rules but it's not going to stop your typical geek squad or frys tech from looking. Most will open files to make sure the recovery is good and if they see something juicy they will will poke around. Best was one of our senior techs when I worked at frys was doing a multi drive recovery, was all home made porn, guy came in with his wife who we didn't realize was the chick, smoking hot indian girl and all he could do is drool. Also if we find anything illegal, we are obligated to report it and we required customers to sign that they have nothing illegal, they are the owner of the files etc and that we have to report to the police if anything is illegal (child porn, etc). Our store never found any but another store, wish I could remember the location found some child porn and ended up breaking a small local ring to that area.

    Really no reason to trust your shit to repair shops... ever. It's cheaper to just buy extra hard drives in the first place and backup irreplaceable files. Hell, encrypt it and toss it on cloud storage (Amazon gives you like 5GB free, plenty for anything non-media) too.
