normally any professional will keep backups of backups of paying projects

in his case it was an honest mistake

Or at least store them online somewhere

he put it on an old drive, and cleared it out

Ah

So I am going to shoot him $1,000 once the home is complete because it was an honest mistake 🙂

construction will begin next year 😄 super excited for it

That’s exciting!

2,400 sq ft cabin, with a 3,600 sq ft "shed"

Where is it going to be?

Warroad Minnesota

buy a spare hdd...to keep copies of what u recovered ...just incase and keep it offline til construction is completed or something happens to ur current copy of it

Dank... I have legit 800tb of HDD's and another 1,200 TB of back ups

2tb or less, or 4tb or higher...never buy the 3tb's

lol.... 4 tb..... I think the smalles HDD I have is 8

Geez, you guys are prepared

I only have a 1 tb

I run my own business with 3 remaining branches out of 4.... 1 got burned to the ground in Minneapolis

Then again, I’m only 19

Yikes

note to self - get knotty to give away old hdds when knotty goes thru an upgrade phase

lol

preferably to me

The current computer I am working on is the "tiny" rig....

my current pc has 7-9yr old tech in it

I have 6 computers all around my office that I had to throw together at a cabin in Knife River MN that I bought for my parents

I upgrade all 6 computers with yearly overhauls

I only have one computer because I’m young and poor, but I only need one for my job and hobbies

The "big" rig has 3 RTX titans in it, and is meant for 8k rendering of 3d models

Evenlyn never feel bad about what hardware you have

got a few bins for old parts out back.....mostly scrap stuff

when it comes to PC only 1 thing matters, and that is saying "I built it myself"

I love my computer even though the screen is busted and my favorite program decided to stop working

if you can say that truthfully you have earned my respect 🙂

anything considered too old for me to use, my bro converts into media boxes

I’m better at software than hardware

and anything too old for him to use, becomes scrap

I accidentally fried my old phone when attempting to replace the screen, so....

I love PC building 🙂 I do it as a "fun" side gig 🙂

how in the hell can u fry ur phone with a screen replacement

I have a lot of friends who do that and I’m intrigued every time they talk about it
