Oh not at all just like having options available in case a project becomes inactive or some other problem happens. Love Veracrypt

Ooo haven't read the article yet but I'm hoping its a veracrypt alternative, hopefully they also have options to use keyfiles.

Edit: the article mentioned some customization but not at the level of veracrypt still not bad at all. It'll probably really take off after an audit but looks pretty neat. Also seems to have been around for a few years now, earliest article is around 2017, so I guess its not very popular but curious if anyone has experience using it?

Actually was doing some research on this the other day for a friend and here's what I found.

Used:

  • ASUS ZenScreen (MB16ACE) 15.6” - buy used for around 140$ USD on amazon maybe cheaper on eBay

  • ViewSonic VG1655 15.6 Inch - buy used for around 120-130 USD on amazon maybe cheaper on ebay

New:

  • ASUS ZenScreen (MB166C) 15.6" - currently limited deal of around 100 USD new. Its the best bang for your buck imo if you want to go with a known brand

Guess the Dell Latitude line of laptops. Haven't personally tried them but they are business grade so maybe they cover what you're looking for

Yeah was hoping this was an option too but couldn't find it. Especially since you need to open the post, then long press the username to block someone, like with spammers/trolls.

Aye glad to hear you have a game plan. Hope the replacement process goes smoothly

If it still mounts and doesn't throw any errors probably still keep it as a redundant cold storage just don't add anything to it anymore. That way if your new backup drive dies because of x reason you still have a chance to recover some data.

Edit: this is assuming its nothing too sensitive where you one want a certain amount of copies in the world and its not under warranty anymore. If it is sensitive, you can try removing the drive from the enclosure, this is called shucking, tape it up with a few layer of whatever tape you have, then either take a drill or a pickaxe to it to destroy the shiny disc of metal inside, aka the platter make sure you do this outside. If its under warranty, securely erase it and get it sent off to be replaced by WD

But wouldn't that just put you at risk of spam and other malicious messages?

Think there's also an official emulator from android studios but I could be wrong

The a stands for "almost the same price" now

That's a solid point I also know some people that use those services so this will help me too
