[Blackpool] HDD data recovery

[Arthur Garlick]

I listen to the Security Now podcast https://twit.tv/episodes?filter[shows]=1636 which has Steve Gibson on it (proper tin foil hat guy, hoot to listen to when he speaks about Internet of Things especially) his product is this: https://www.grc.com/spinrite.htm he makes some big claims and I've been sceptical but having listened to him talk for years, he knows his stuff and I'd give it a try if I had a disk failure.  But not for a total mechanical issue as you said. 


I will be at the makerspace tomorrow, coding has started on the big robot and I have a little robot that I am going to finish.

Listening to Bill Gates desert island disks, right now, what a guy - who has done more for humanity... Gates or Torvalds?
