⚠️ Please BE AWARE that there is a chance that if you transfer your save file from Switch to Switch 2, you may lose it. This person lost 20 years of data that they'd had since their Game Boy Advance. Totally brutal. It's a huge gamble, and to me, might not be worth it if you really value your save data.

Kann mir jemand helfen, Daten einer externen Festplatte auszulesen?
Seit Weihnachten warte ich darauf, dass mir mein Bruder, der Netzwerkadministrator, der sich um den Computer meiner Mutter kümmert, (weswegen ich von Windows zu Linux und sogar zu MacOS gewandert bin, damit ich ihr beistehen kann, wenn er mal nicht zur Verfügung steht) hilft oder mir wenigstens einen Link oder einen Hinweis schickt, wo ich nachlesen

They said you can "play without issue" if you don't mind starting over from the beginning...

EA says it can’t recover 60% of players’ corrupted Madden franchise save files

Issue came after EA said players "should now be able to play... without issue."

Despite having needed this for decades i am a newbie with code repositories. Now releasing this on #Codeberg: a pancake/burger/mobile navigation example realized _only_ with css and html, no javascript or images involved. Could save us all some data (think carbon-almost-free).

*Enjoy*

Did you know that you're allowed to click the "Stop loading" button (usually an X in place of the circular arrow that indicates "Loading") when you see what you're there to see, without loading all the ads and links and other superfluous webpage stuff?

Anyone who's followed me at all surely knows of my connectivity woes, so I thought I'd share a tip that helps a lot in such instances: Go to the mobile site--It uses less data. Of course, I don't know if #Mastodon #instances have #mobile sites, but I do know that #Facebook and #Twitter, sites I regularly visit, do.
