SIG Computing Topic: Recovering Data from a Hard Drive

Presented by Francis Chao

When confronted with hard drive problems, you should perform low-risk, less invasive procedures first,
followed by increasingly aggressive, higher risk procedures.
As you perform these increasingly invasive procedures, you will either repair the hard drive and return it to service or at some point you might decide that it is beyond economical repair.

The various sub-topics for recovering data from hard drives are explained at

SIG-Linux Topic: Endless OS distro

Presented by Sharan Kalwani

We last spoke about the Linux kernel several months ago. During the last week of June 2023, a number of enhancements were released – which we will discuss and assess the impacts of those. Also, we have a brief experience on a new Linux distro to share – Endless OS. So what is special about this? Most of the tools are geared to be used in an offline mode, i.e not dependent on the internet to be around….I find that interesting, as I am often on the road w/o a decent connection.
