There are rumors that iPhone 17 is going to be foldable. Is there anyone who can confirm this news?
To be honest, I do not care what it would cost; my old iPhone is basically a potato now, which needs to be changed.
So… are we all actually ready for Apple to convince us we need another new camera lens?
Hi,
Is there any software that can access LTO tapes in RAW mode? I’ve searched online but haven’t found much information.
For example, data recovery companies that work with damaged or formatted LTO tapes must use some generic software to recover the data.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Regards,

I have a 6TB Quantum LTO-7 tape that I’ve been trying to recover. I can read it using cat /dev/nst0 > tape, but it fails with an input/output error about halfway through.
What tools or methods can I use to copy the tape? Is there a ddrescue-like program for tapes that can skip bad blocks and continue reading? I’ve already tried using a different drive, but it stops at the same bad block.
Your problem could be caused by a bad power supply, a failing graphics card, faulty RAM, or motherboard issues, as well as fan or sensor problems. To troubleshoot, try testing with another power supply if possible, remove the graphics card and use onboard graphics, and run a memory test like MemTest86. Also, check the motherboard for any physical damage and update the BIOS to the latest version. These steps can help identify the problem before you buy any new parts.
If your Windows 11 laptop keeps crashing and reset won’t finish:
1. Start in Safe Mode (press F8 or hold Shift and click Restart).
2. Look for your BitLocker key at your Microsoft account online.
3. In Safe Mode, run chkdsk /f /r to check the hard drive.
4. Try System Restore to go back to an earlier point.
5. Backup your files if you can.
If it still crashes, the hard drive might be failing and may need replacing later.
If Windows 11 says your PC needs TPM 2.0, try this:
1. Restart your computer and enter BIOS (press Delete, F2, or F10 during startup).
2. Find and enable TPM, Intel PTT, or AMD fTPM.
3. Save and exit BIOS.
4. In Windows, press Windows + R, type tpm.msc, and check if TPM 2.0 is shown.
5. Try installing Windows 11 again.
If you can’t find TPM in BIOS, your motherboard might not support it, and you may need to add a TPM module or upgrade your motherboard.
Tried moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11 today, but the installer refuses to proceed, saying my computer doesn’t meet the necessary security requirements. The main issue flagged is missing TPM 2.0 support.
This desktop was custom-built a few years back for gaming and content creation, and it still runs modern titles without a problem. I wasn’t aware that TPM settings could block an OS upgrade.
Before I start replacing hardware, I’d like to know if there’s a way to enable or add TPM so the installation can work. Any advice?
For the past few weeks, my desktop has been unreliable when powering on. Sometimes it starts normally, but more often the fans spin up loudly, the screen stays black, and nothing happens. A few rare times it will reach Windows only to crash or blue screen shortly after.
Once it’s running, performance in games and temps are perfectly fine, so this only happens during startup. I’ve tried reseating RAM and cables, updating drivers, and clearing CMOS, but the problem keeps returning.
Could this be an early sign of GPU failure, power supply issues, or something else? Any suggestions would help before I start replacing parts.
My Windows 11 laptop keeps blue screening every few seconds after I log in. I’ve tried doing a factory reset, but the system crashes halfway through and forces me to start over again. I also attempted the reset option from the recovery screen, but it asks for a BitLocker recovery key, which I have no idea how to find.
A friend suggested my hard drive might be failing, but I can’t afford to replace it right now. Is there any way to fix this without spending a lot of money?
Take my money, but give me the latest iPhone!!! I know you all call me crazy, but still I want the iPhone.
