Super sad storytime. Back in the early 2000s, I had an awesome Sony camera phone with a real xenon flash.
I probably had thousands of photos on it on an SD card that has been through multiple phones.
Suddenly, my mom started feeling pains in her stomach area and was later diagnosed with staged 4 cancer.
After she passed away, I accidentally fell into a lake and broke my phone and lost every photo and video of my mom. I only have a video of her voice that I posted on Facebook while she was washing my dog for the first time.
Since then, I haven’t lost a single photo. Each photo and video is saved in 4 different locations, in a B2 bucket and in different countries.
I still have this old phone. I’m hoping one day I can retrieve it. Until then, always save your photos in multiple places.
If you still have that phone, try a data recovery specialist. They might be able to get something out.
I paid over $500(in early 2000s) and was not able to retrieve it. Maybe 20 years later there is a chance.
That’s unfortunate, I’m sorry to hear that…
Yes but it’s gonna cost you a lot of money
I’m sorry for your loss.
Computer stores might be able to retrieve the data. It’s better if you go somewhere locally owned, they might have a suggestion for a specialist.
I have tried. Mailed it to a specialist in Taiwan that claimed it was possible. Couldn’t get the data out.
wait hold on youre hsing the same phone? thats really bad, whenever data loss occurs the firsr thjng yiu should do is stop using the pjone entirely and send it in to a data recovery specialist
They said the phone is broken. They still HAVE it.

If the movie industry is anything to be believed my Plex Library is probably worth tens of millions.
Millennials complain aboot hoosing prices yet they own a morbillion dollars in movies. Smh my head.
Sentimentality, images of long dead family members.
Monetarily, my Steam account.
I, too, have more Steam games than dollar bills.
I also own more Bitcoin than dollar bills, considering I’m European.
I don’t think you own your steam games.
My orginal pokemon blue save file and the 151 (152 if you count missing no) from my childhood. They are all just chilling and hoping that maybe one day I’ll come back and play with them like the good old days when we were masters.
Get a ROM dumper and get that save off the cartridge now before it’s too late, if it isn’t already. I collect and restore old games and most gen 1 Pokémon carts have a dead battery by now.
I’m amazed that my original Pokémon Red lasted as long as it did - but the in game battery will eventually die. If you really want to save it I highly recommend using a cart dumper, something like the gbxcart, to save your file elsewhere.
I had lost my original Red had died but my first big team is saved onto Pokémon Stadium which gives me a good chuckle anyone I put that in.
Photos of family; family records.
And a OneNote notebook I have (backuped to OneDrive by default, but also gets backuped to Google Drive daily) in which I try to organize a family tree, with resources, old papers and records, etc.
The contents of my LastPass keychain.
You should know LastPass had many security incidents in last years and they seem not to learn from their mistakes.
Yep, pretty much that. Keepass-Container. Losing that would be pain.
Nice try, hackers.

Don’t have that one. Any link to where I can grab it?

Huh. I assumed it would be harder to find and didn’t bother going that route. Egg on my face. Thanks.

A bunch of irreplaceable demo tracks and singles from bands that broke up twenty years ago.
Get them up on archive.org?
There’s an idea. I already have cloud backups, and physical backups, but public backups really appeal to me, as does sharing these tracks with the world.
Legally, though, I don’t own the music; I just have it, own a license for it, I mean. With bands that don’t exist anymore, I don’t anticipate any issues; for singer-songwriter types, though… that’s thornier.
Family photos and videos.
I also choose this users family photos and videos
My porn collection.
Source code, schematics, board designs and dessert recipes.
The data I have that I find the most valuable, apparently isn’t owned by me. It’s owned by Google, Microsoft, etc… Shouldn’t I be making money off my browsing habits? They are my browsing habits, after all.

I’d pay them for location history and Earth if they asked for it
My book collection. I have digital files from every book that I want or have read. If I lost it I don’t know what I would do, all my memories are there
