@kwf I just noticed that UpdateYoDell is *also* your work. Thank you so much for making that available, it's saving me incredible amounts of time right now.

@kwf ...of course I also just noticed that ftp.updateyodell.net is FUBAR, I just get the default Nginx page currently, and no FTP server at all.
So I lost power while doing an ATA SECURITY_ERASE on 4x 4TB HDDs. I can't remember what throwaway password I used, since I knew it would be erased along with the data.
There was once a program called A-FF Repair Station by hdd-tools.com, but they're long since gone and you need a login to launch the app.
It's not worth buying a forensic tool like Atola Insight or a DFL-USB, is there any other way to recover these drives, or are they just e-waste now?
(FWIW: all 4 are WD4002FYYZ-01B7CB0 model#.)

📌Six ICE cars
📌One dad
📌Two kids left behind crying in a truck
Terrorizing families in broad daylight, in a farmworker town, like it’s a cartel raid isn’t law enforcement—it’s a trauma operation.
We are a fascist state, and I don’t recognize our country.

TAKE THIS IN… 📌Six ICE cars 📌One dad 📌Two kids left behind crying in a truck Terrorizing families in broad daylight, in a farmworker town, like it’s a cartel raid isn’t law enforcement—it’s a trauma operation. We are a fascist state, and I don’t recognize our country.
After a lull in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity on California’s Central Coast, a rash of raids has reportedly swept through San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties over the past week.
One notable arrest over the weekend left two children unattended after a man was taken from a gas station by what appeared to be a group of ICE agents.

And of course bonus points if you gather more than to AVs together through a specific intersection.
