“Honestly, a literal raspberry might do a better job at network integration than your printer right now. Just be careful it doesn’t jam… or jam, you know?”

so, without this app, it will only be telemetry and ads? 🤔

no worries! 🙂

crossing my fingers for you while we wait 😄

No worries, however I cannot see the SATA marking on yours, just the SAS, or perhaps I am blind, changed contact model today…but please double check before ordering.

And yes, Dell does not manufacture hard drives, so it’s almost 100% a OEM rebranding.

if however, it is this drive it should support SATA

you can, if you read my edited post, as long as the SATA logo is present on the label of the sas drive

as mentioned in the description of the product

there is cheap controllers as well btw:

lots of cheap electronics for all your needs over there :)

sorry if I misunderstood, but wasn’t his drive sas, and he needed to go to sata connections? this does that.

sas hdd => sata controller connetions

the converter is not the culprit, the drive needs a sata logo on the label for it to work the other way, which is mentioned on the sales page.

if the drive had that logo or not is not mentioned as far as I can see

(edit, thought it was OP replying at first, so changed that, and added requirements for the adapter)

Haven’t tried it myself, but there is cheap converters available on AliExpress:

Might be worth it to avoid using it as a paperweight?

or you might be unable to decrypt them at all

or, if it was a LG phone, could they be encrypted?

if so, perhaps this will help https://github.com/kamicater/LG-Gallery-Decryptor

if you have access to a windows computer, or perhaps wine can work?, there might be a solution in the bottom of this thread where someone had a similar problem

haven’t tested it, so do some antivirus checks on the tool before you decide to test it just to be sure.

good luck, hope you get it sorted

Have you tried inserting a screw in the opening of the pin and pulling it using the now attached screw as a handle? Or gluing it if screwing is not possible and then pulling?

one way that works for some is to trick your mind by schedule your worrying to a time and date in the future and tell yourself you will handle it then. this gives you a “solution” for your mind to stop worrying about it now, as you have a plan to do it later…

worked for me quite a few times actually…

good luck, and hope you get it sorted eventually either way.
