I bought a 2TB seagate external hardrive to store games after running out of room on my computer. Started storing STL's to 3d print as well.


It's beeping softly when I plug it in and won't read on my computer. Research says that it's an internal failure and my data is fucked, so I need to find somebody to try and retrieve it.


How much does this usually cost and am I better off just getting a new hard drive? i have a lot of files saved there and I would rather not pay another $80 for a new hard drive and go through the tedium of replacing all the files I had there.

Would I need to buy another hard drive anyway? the content is not SUPER precious so my main concern is saving time and money.

I asked in another thread for someone to draw me some portraits for some sprites from a game, it'd be for my personal use (as a local mod) but someone told me to use AI, and I'm not expert in that.
I used this site https://deepai.org/machine-learning-model/pixel-art-generator which was the one that gave a bit "decent" works, and got a bunch of images for my sprites, but as expected from AI it didn't go exactly as I needed, so I want some help with editing them (I'll post them in this thread).
The images should be 240x320 and with transparent background.
This is a native portrait from the game as reference, I'd like the images to be with similar ratio, but if you can draw something better, that'd be really nice too.

Hey /wsr/ I need some help/advice.

I recently got a Latitude 5400 for free and it comes with a PCIe 256GB SSD 2230. Now upgrading to a bigger SSD would be ez, but what I want to do is get dual drives inside this laptop. There seems too be an expansion slot to the right of the original HD but I'm not sure what drive to buy that fits that expansion or if it needs a cable to connect to a second HD

They're pixel based, does anyone got them as gifs without background? Just the animations on native resolution. Thanks.

Recommend me on what to do next. I currently have no purpose in life.

Recently I purchased a new Lenovo gaming laptop.
I noticed that it sometimes gets an odd blurred screen that sometimes self resolves and other times needs a restart.
This issue is not unique to my laptop as my older desktop also had this issue.
Pic is an example of the issue I run into.
Interestingly it never happens in games but suspiciously seems to trigger if I have a video (often youtube) open in a window I have off to the side (sporadic; does not always happen but closest thing to a pattern in occurrences).
Any advice into figuring out the cause/solution to this problem is much appreciated.

I have this project made on laravel (php 8.2), and I'm using mariadb as a database. I'm using the default model management of laravel, then calling a list of objects from my controller and sending them to a view, where I just simly use datatables (https://datatables.net/) to arrange them as a "cute looking list", the thing is that when there's a lot of data (like more than 10k rows), it seems to take forever to load/render. In raw html (without using datatables) the rendering seems to be partially done while loading the page (at least on my local machine, on the server it seems to just show stuff whenever it finished loading all), but I wonder if it's possible to show stuff faster. I heard about "client-side/server-side" loadings, but I have no idea if this is what can help me and where to find a tutorial of how to do it if so.
What I want is a way to show info way faster, so the ones checking the project don't have to wait 5 minutes till the page loads completelly.

Does anyone have tips on how to study for the hesi RN exit exam? Has anyone taken the 2025 exam?

That line across the top flickers, and eventually everything below it starts to flicker too. Is it possible that it's a loose connection? Something I could fix by opening it up, or is the panel just fucked?
