Apologies I didn’t understand what this means, did you hand out keys so your friends would randomly be over and she would be afraid of getting caught?

I could be wrong but I don’t think it’s been 3 years, they just deleted an older comment of theirs.

I think I understand what you mean now, if it was an interface then it should be possible to use a separate but similar interface to access the output but here there is only one non-PITA way. Eg. If there was a competing galleries app on iOS it should be able to see all the photos. Is that roughly the thinking? Makes sense to me and thanks for taking the time to type that out.

Do you mean your second generation iPad or your iPad that is 2 generations old?

Can you expand a bit more on this? What makes it not an interface?

I am an android and windows person (would switch to Linux in a heartbeat if my CAD worked on there) and pretty tech savvy, even run my own servers. So I hate the fact that things are getting so dumbed down but I can’t understand why it’s just an interface would be not true.

Thank you for bringing up warranty, it’s not something I thought about since I thought this was an expected failure mode. Turns out WD authorized an RMA even though I couldn’t find my receipt because it’s been less than 3 years since the ship out date from their factory and their warranty is 3 years so pretty happy with that.

Thank you!

Thank you! This is just a backup drive and I have 2 other copies if the data so ill get a new backup drive soon and all should be good. Can you think of any interesting uses for a drive like this now that I cant trust it?

Thank you! This is actually my backup drive and I have full copies of all the data on this drive on 2 other computers so what I’ll do is get a new drive soon to replace the backup drive.

What do you think I should do with this drive?
