Spoke to Chadu. He's saying to send this ssd to them, Hemantha can get this data recovered. I told him it isn't really that sensitive information.
I think I'll visit Sumathi IT tomorrow or something.
I'll most likely get a new laptop in mid February.
So now is early mid January.
I don't think that the data itself is sensitive.
I've looked at it, and I think even before giving Daminda Niroshana, I ruled that the data sensitivity classification is perhaps a 2 or 3 out of 10.
But later, I downgraded the sensitivity classification to a 1 or 2 because I never hid any information on this.
I think that's good.
There are some valuable files. I think PYMK list. This was the only thing I backed up when I got a recovered disk from Daminda Niroshana.
I think if the laptop is 10 years old. It is nearing the end of its life. However, the machine should work. It did. The processor is a 3rd generation Intel processor. But it seems to be working fine.
It was a big mistake to use Kingston. I think I bought a Kingston because it's known for focusing on storage. Daminda recommended Sandisk. I should have bought a Samsung Evo or something. Many people now report that Kingston is a very bad brand.
I will first go to Hemantha, ask them to re write the data on the defective ssd. This is now, digital hygiene, and digital hygienic, and then we will return it to Barclay's Computer Shop for a new ssd. Usually, they have to replace with a new Kingston. However, I will ask for a Samsung Evo ssd this time.
It was sort of a mistake to go to Daminda. But he did the job he was paid to do. I think he's a pleasant experience for the most part. Nothing on this drive was overly sensitive. I think all of it is available for public interest reading on Facebook. It was a mistake because I'm not supposed to go to unknown IT service providers. It's a security lapse. I think I regret doing so.
The laptop, despite being 10 years old, does still work, and takes a lot of abuse. I should be able to use it for the next year. Because it's not failing or having any issues.
