    I deleted a video file from my SSD (Crucial MX500), and a few minutes later, I ran some data recovery softwares like Recuva, TestDisk and R-Studio, but none of them could find anything. I've known that TRIM effectively makes data recovery impossible, but I'd just like to confirm this: is it...

    I already did, and found stuff related to wear levelling and over provisioning and TRIM - stuff I didn't understand. Thanks. I'll try to keep as much free space as I can.

    I've ordered the MX500 SSD. I've decided not to clone the current OS installation but to instead do a fresh Win10 install. This is the first time I'm using an SSD. I've read on the net that it is recommended to keep a few GBs unallocated. Do I need to do that, or is just keeping around 20 GBs...

    I thought all SSDs get slower if they are 90% full, and not just DRAM less SSDs.

    I have a 2014 Dell laptop, with an HDD. I used to think SSDs are too costly but recently, while checking the price for SD cards, I found that the Crucial BX500 500GB 2.5-inch SSD costs Rs. 2379 (a 128 GB SD card by comparison costs around 1K). I checked the Crucial site and used their scanner...

    Yahoo Mail - Received verification OTP from a private number.

    I have tried that option; that's a paid one. I find this really strange: a big email service provider like Yahoo not having a simple customer support option?

    Yahoo Mail - Received verification OTP from a private number.

    Yesterday, when I logged in to my Yahoo Mail account, I received the OTP on my phone which I entered on the site and the mailbox opened. After finishing my work, when I was going to delete the OTP from the phone, I noticed that it had come from an private number. Generally OTPs come from a...

    Laptop for regular use, i3, 8 GB RAM, upto 50K

    I'll see if I can convince my sister about an SSD-only option. There's also the other Dell option of SSD+HDD for ~46K.

    Need help with an old Nook HD+

    I have an old Nook HD+ which I bought in 2012/2013. It worked fine for the first five years or so, but then the battery degraded, and in 2019-2020, it reached a point where it would work only if it was connected to the charger - when connected to the charger, it would boot and work fine, but...

    Laptop for regular use, i3, 8 GB RAM, upto 50K

    I had thought of the same thing at first - a 256 / 512 GB internal SSD and an external 2 TB HDD but my sister wanted a large internal HDD. Adding an internal 1 TB HDD to an SSD-only laptop would cost around 4K, while an external 2 TB one would be around 5K, so external HDD is the better choice.

    Laptop for regular use, i3, 8 GB RAM, upto 50K

    None of these have a 1 TB HDD, which is a requirement. Also, these are all Ryzen ones, and in the past, I remember people complaining about AMD processors running hotter than Intel; don't know if this is the case now. If I was going to use the computer, I wouldn't mind AMD, but since this...

    Touchscreen not working, can use with OTG mouse

    If he won't check the calling function, I should be okay. Youtube videos play fine on the phone. It doesn't have any big scratches, but the place where you attach the charger pin is a bit dented. I found some reviews on Amazon saying they reject the phone even if there is a small scratch. I'm...

    Touchscreen not working, can use with OTG mouse

    I think I'll have to give this phone in exchange now. After getting it repaired, I've found that the touchscreen is not as responsive as the original one; you have press slightly harder for it to work. On top of that, I'm not getting any sound in voice calls - no sound when the number is being...

    Touchscreen not working, can use with OTG mouse

    Motorola is also Chinese? :-( I didn't know about Moto G9 Power, seems like a good phone. I am in no hurry, and will probably wait for a better phone to be available. I've really liked using the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, and I'd easily buy another Asus phone, but Asus doesn't have as many...

    Touchscreen not working, can use with OTG mouse

    The only reason I'm thinking of buying a new phone is that the Asus one has been repaired and might give problems later. I haven't actually decided yet. As for MIUI, I won't use it, I'll probably install a custom ROM, as I've used MIUI before and it gives a lot of ads, even after following...

    Touchscreen not working, can use with OTG mouse

    Ok. I'm thinking of giving the phone in exchange. Amazon is giving Rs. 3650 as exchange on Redmi Note 9 Pro (4 GB, 128 GB), with sale price of Rs. 14999, while for Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (6 GB, 128 GB), they are giving Rs. 5650 off (from price of Rs. 18499). The only problem is that these are...

    Touchscreen not working, can use with OTG mouse

    That's good to hear. By slow performance, do you mean the performance of the phone or only the display?
