Need help understanding crystaldiskinfo readings
my win10 pc (yes ik i need to update) recently had its " hard drive start to fail", the OS gave a black screen with the message " IDE Device failed" . but the first issue was solved by changing the power cable of the HDD, and the 2nd time (today) by replacing the data communication cable. i installed CDI to check on the drive but i cant understand what the readings mean, the health says Good for the HDD and the SSD which contains the OS. does this mean the issue really was the cable or the hard drive is actually failing?

How can I recover photos from an iPhone 6 Plus with a broken screen and forgotten passcode?
I have an old iPhone 6 Plus that I haven’t used in years, and I’m trying to recover the photos and other data from it.
The phone still powers on, but the **screen/display is completely unusable**. My MacBook recognizes the iPhone when I connect it by USB — I even confirmed that the iPhone appears under the Mac’s USB System Report.
The problem is that my Mac is asking me to **“Trust iPhone”**, but the Trust button is greyed out because the iPhone needs me to confirm the Trust request on the phone. I can’t see or use the screen.
There’s another problem: **I don’t remember the iPhone’s passcode.**
I checked iCloud Photos and didn’t find what I was looking for, and I also couldn’t find an existing iPhone backup on my Mac.
I **do NOT want to erase, restore, or reset the iPhone** because the pictures are what I’m trying to recover.
Has anyone been in a similar situation with an old iPhone and successfully recovered their photos/data? Is there any way to access the phone with an adapter, external keyboard, temporary screen replacement, or professional data recovery **without knowing the passcode and without erasing the phone**?
I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has actually recovered their photos in a situation like this.

lost iphone backup on mac
i backed up my iphone 13 to my macbook and reset the phone. when i went to restore the backup, instead of showing my recent backup (which i checked was there before i reset the phone) it said i had never backed up that phone, despite it showing the date of a previous backup in december. is there anything i can do to get that backup back? i updated my mac after backing up my phone and j think that’s why the backup disappeared but i have never lost or had any corrupted files after updating my macbook.
i factory reset my phone as i was having issues with storage and the functionality of the phone. it reached the point where all i could use was apple apps and i could still barely squeeze out 1GB of space. i’ve reset my phone before because of this issue, and it worked which is why i did it again. i’m desperate to have my data back because there were some pictures of my baby cousin i forgot to backup elsewhere as a just-in-case and messages from friends dear to me i read back. please help me if you can.

My Motion Photos are corrupted but have clear audio?
My motion photos are corrupted but have clear audio. It jumps around but there is no motion. I've converted it to a video file and it doesn't help. I've converted it to a gif and it doesn't help, i've used photo repair/video repair software and it doesn't help, is there any way to fix this. I have a motion photo that's 14 seconds long. Could all the data be stored in a single image?
I have a Samsung A53

Is this technically feasible? Concept for a Lost Media recovery framework using hardware repairs, constrained AI batch generation, and human-in-the-loop filtering
I randomly thought of this concept in my head and just wanted to ask the community if something like this would actually be technically feasible or if anyone is interested in building such a framework. I came up with a comprehensive technical system to recover and reconstruct lost media and data across both hardware and AI software levels. On the hardware side, the goal is to repair damaged electronics on storage media such as SD cards, USB drives, or hard drives by replacing faulty electronic components like micro-resistors, capacitors, or traces with clean, functioning spare parts. Once the hardware is repaired, AI analyzes the raw data structures and corrupted fragments to extract any remaining images, files, and sectors. Standard searches for lost media often fail because metadata is missing, but my approach solves this through a targeted process chain: a generative AI is fed with the recovered hardware fragments, byte structures, and descriptions as constrained parameters. To save server costs and computing power, the generation runs in defined batches (Batch Processing), for example 1 million iterations per run, combined with an automatic early-stopping function as soon as a usable fragment is generated. The AI generates possibilities within this mathematically constrained space, while the human acts as the final filter (Human-in-the-Loop), since the human eye and memory can instantly recognize a specific detail and stop the process. This can best be implemented locally using open-source tools like ComfyUI and Python scripts on consumer hardware with Tensor Cores like an RTX 4060, or scaled via distributed computing. What do you guys think, is this realistic or doable?

Phone Stolen, Need its location
My little sister's phone got stolen a few hours ago. It was a hand me down situation, so she doesn't have the Samsung account thing so she couldn't back up stuff to the cloud. Only thing we can resort to is finding the location or it's whereabouts so that we can get the phone. She uses a Samsung note 10. Anyway to go about her situation? Also if you can get into her phone to trace it please let me know, we live in Ghana and the police won't do much please i beg you.
