  • I know this is not helpful to your immediate issues, but here are a few suggestion to prevent it from happening again

    • Don’t store important data in any default folder. Make your own folders, name them something so you know its yours and not a system folder. I like to start my folder names with “AA”, so they show up first in the list.

      • I’m honestly surprised SD maid cleared out the backups folder. I’m speculating here, but I think that backup folder is intended for apps to leave their backup files. All of your data, which isn’t associated with an app, got flagged as “leftovers” from a deleted app.
    • Backup off device. If SD maid didn’t delete everything, a drop in a pool could have. The general rule is to have 3 copys. 2 in your possession (phone, computer, home server, USB stick, etc) and 1 off site somewhere (cloud, at friend’s house, etc).

      • The easiest way is to use a cloud provider like drive. Download the sync app to at least 2 devices and enable “keep offline” for the folders. However that is not necessarily the most secure. I like synching to sync all my folder to a computer. It has conflict protection, so if I happen change a file on different devices, it won’t save them over each other. The final method that requires the least setup, but the most discipline is a USB drive to copy your data periodically.
    • For the data you described, it sounds like you would benefit from storing it all in password manager like KeepassXC. It encrypts all of that, and makes cloud storage a safer option.

    Good luck with recovery.









  • The kid on the right looks fine.

    The one in the middle just needs to do something with the hair. sure he’s got a lot bracelets, and his pants are too long, but he’ll trip over them enough to eventually figure it out.

    The left one went a bit far the with pointless chain, but that his taste not mine, so whatever. But the again the hair is bad. I’m not saying it’s got to be neatly flat or something, but but some effort into it, throw in some actuall spikes, or a mowhak or anything really. Bed head ain’t it. The kid on the right, he takes care of his hair.




  • Huh, thinking about it, I’ve never seen a computer in the 2009 icon form factor. Sure there’s the simple rectangle case, but that skinny silver curved case?

    Also, its kind of funny the 2026 version is an all-in-one-computer, which is more of Apple’s thing. Sure there’s probably a dozen options for a Windows all in one, but when I see that icon I think of an iMac.
