What kind of content have you lost forever from back when you were a teenager, /g? What was on these old HDDs?

are the HDD's actually powered or did you just connect the SATA to USB

Between me and my mates? We set up a PC to samba share on the highschool network. Anime, cracked games, all sorts of Jow Forums content, tons of porn/hentai

Basically nothing, teebs

I just connected the SATA to USB. Do I have to buy a power supply for them?

generally, if you have spare powercables on your PSU you could just jerry-rig them that way just to see if they still hold data, if you're main rig is a laptop then yes you will have to actually get an externally powered enclosure for them, you can get a decent one with a fan for like $25 and one without a fan for even less

Ok, cool, thanks for the info

best post on Jow Forums today

PORN, so much porn :C
I also lost a bunch of music to bit rot apparently. Oh well.

>bit rot
What the FUCK is that?

we were all clueless once

My old shit taste in music
My old shit taste in porn
My old shit taste in games
My old shit taste in memes
My old shit taste in movies
What little homework I did
A whole shit ton of text files (things to download, random text transcripts, and likely more cringey shit I'm forgetting)
A fuck huge list of cheats for all the PS2 games I had

I did it willingly and knowingly. I often look back and regret it, but oh well, shit happens.

There's a difference between clueless and utterly defunct of common sense.

I lost a youtube channel that I had archived.
I was archiving it and then the next day it got taken down.
I regret delaying archiving the whole thing in one night.

hachikuji lookin cute

old programs/ bunch of torrented anime and a minecraft world i played on for nearly 4 years on 1.2.3 becuase I didnt pay and couldnt be bothered to download new cracked versions every time an update came out.

I mean if you weren't knowledgeable, and you have powered devices through USB your whole life, i could see how you would think a sata to usb connector would power a HDD
but you only have to teach someone once

oh shit, old time uzumaki chills

If it's accessible, why wouldn't it be considered powered? Maybe not bootable, but that's just pedantry

Not in an HDD but I had a large playlist of all my favorite youtube videos/music but then my account got banned and it disappeared.

What's the point of this case design apart from rule of cool?

I have no clue, he may have used the word mountable incorrectly as well

I've literally NEVER had a single Hard drive, flash drive, sd card or CD EVER fail on me, they all still work fine.

To get philosophical on your pitiful ass, it's probably better to forget the forgettable, because your own imagination has the potential to surpass the reality
Most childhood memories are like that

I deleted all my chan folders because I wanted to become a normie.
Didn't make it, but nothing of value was really lost either.

Though if I'm beng 100% honest, I deleted scads of demotivationals (I no longer have a single one) from back when they were a thing, and also many EFG thread screencaps when I busted into /b/ and instantly took the side of the oldfags who resented his misappropriation by """""anonymous"""""

Same.

still got most of it. i used to rip everything from /c/

I just realized I still have some rare images left. For example, I have one from the time Torvalds got angry at a fake Stallman account and created the anti GNU Linux pasta, the Microsoft shilling collage, and the resume of the extremely autistic guy who single handedly killed the Tox project.

It's 80% sure that I google translated that image myself.

Something abour Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei corresponded with my mind in a way that nothing has since
Was it the crash of 2008 that killed my dreams, or just becoming an adult? Who knows.
In any case my pseudo-Japanese sense of place vanished.
This picture reminds me of Triumph of the Will, which I was a fan of then and now. There was no such thing as an alt-right back then. I wonder how much less cramped and crabbed of a human I would be if there had been. But regardless there wasn't, and Tony Blair and George Bush were the faces of unapposable mainstream politics.

I have no intention of being a museum piece or a cautionary tale. If I can rally 'round myself, then I can eventually rally around something greater than myself, if I can find it.

Though not particularly high brow, SZS did introduce me to a lot of literature. Something almost incomprehensible in my sports obsessed peasant commune.

I should finish those games sometime soon.

Tons of real life photos and videos from my teen social years (sometimes for better than worse). My initial music collection. Also my first two years worth of Jow Forums pictures and fap photos.

I wonder if this still counts as pixel art

It technically consists of non-smoothed pixels, but I think our monitors are too good these days for it to really be distinctive compared to the old blocky stuff
Which itself is a shame, because old pixel art has a mosaic like quality

Thankfully the only hard drives I've had fail are a music one that I had a library file for so I just slowly built it back up, and one with a load of chinese cartoons on. That one was a bit more painful as I had a lot of stuff that I can't now find any more (fuck /ptg/) but I've got over it.

Some old pornographic models I used to make. Would honestly like to see them again to see how much I've improved over the years. Aside from that, a few very old and rare records that I can't find anywhere else online - the original links died - and my old Morrowind save with my meticulously laid out house. That one stings.

over the years a bit is lost or switches aka goes from 1 to 0

don't you mean PATA to USB?
Or why would your current machine not have a SATA connector? r u gey?

that is some masterful shitposting

I remember downloading a YouTube video back from like 2010 called "Animated Gif Collection" (specifically titled as such) with weird Arabic music playing in the background. It had all kinds of stupid and offensive shit playing throughout the video, like a nun running with a cross, a fractal loop of a zoomup to some guys underwear and other dumbass gifs. I remember it as the first instance where I saw the attached image ever existing. Found it hilarious at the time but have never found it reuploaded anywhere.
