I think a deft hand could do what OP suggests without damaging the speaker wire. This would be the metal reinforcement you need combined with epoxy. Just sink the staple in far enough to work. Maybe two per side. Not too deeply as to roast the wire.

Those Jonsbo cases seem so snazzy. 12 3.5” disks in that case is nuts.

If memory serves correctly it was another Samsung device it was leveraging which makes more sense. There were other occasions where it had once been attached to WiFi for a firmware update, disconnected and told to forget the network, but attached again to it at least twice. Took the steps to forget the network again and then powered off completely. Subsequent checks show no further connections so far.

I know that a Samsung teevee disconnected from the internet will try and use another appliances internet connection if it can. Gotta imagine this is possible in other devices, too.

Shovel AK is a thing too. There are stencils out there for it.

Don’t feel bad. It is impossible to see every post and it wasn’t even in this sub. It was in the dull_mens_club com. The post was fun though.

They were making a joke based off a previous post here this week about forklift certification. “Fork certified” is where they were going.

It’s only temporary, unless it works.

I remember working on sendmail back in the day. I had skills then, but mastering sendmail would elevate you to be the guru on the mountain. I struggled to the foothills and managed enough to maintain it, only scratching the surface. There was and is a lot there. The O’reilly sendmail book was the thickest of my collection and I might even still have it.

IMO, if you ever hear the click-of-death on a disk whatever you do to get it going is purely to gain access and extract the data. That disk is a spinning dead man.

Pop the disk into the freezer for a few hours (or a day). It has to be long enough for the components to all get cold. This shrinks the materials and could possibly unstick heads from the platters. I think it has worked two out of four attempts for me. This is a method to get access to the data of which you should extract as soon as possible.

Be cautious of condensation on the cold disk as it could potentially arc circuitry.

If it is hosed, can always dead drop it from one banana worth of height on a table to see if the drive heads unlock, then try again.

Or try the freezer trick. It has been many years, but it has worked for me.

For your dime.

Haven’t heard Red Dragon referenced in a very long time. Loved that game.
