My PC died with all my passwords

what's bricked... :unsure:

maybe the inter webs might help :shrug:

But whatever solution floats your boat, just do it ...

That's why it's a PERSONAL COMPUTER ...

You do you 😊
Personally my relation with my Computer good,
but complicated. One way stream, little feedback to me.

Its imo to platonic, a walking talking female form,
would make it more appealing. Keyboard her belly,
2 mouses, left and right BR.... i ll stop fantasising.

As i have no clue where to situate the Monitor on her,
while remaining aesthetic.
 
I was always afraid of something like that happening then last year my house flooded pretty bad. The water came in pretty quick and was caught off guard. Things I forgot to unplug started sparking and giving off a burning smell. My battery back up surge protector was still plugged in when the water rushed into my room and it started making this buzzing nice. Thankfully I was able to unplug it and get it to higher ground in time so it didn't explode. The water got in-between knee and hip high. At one point all of of a sudden I remembered "oh fuck my passwords. I waded through the water to my bedroom in the darkness with a flashlight and a zip lock bag to save my passwords from my desk drawer. Thankfully my pc ended up surviving as well as me and my mom.

Glad you survived to I wish all the best to you.
 
Exactly. ALWAYS have a paper back-up for the really important stuff. For instance, phone numbers and addresses.
No one has a back up mem in his brain ?, got five seizure s.
Totally lost the plot. Didn t no my name, date of birth.
Did remember my passwords, when my ego went in my body again.
So they where stored somewhere in my brain. Like my name.

Maybe try a Gamma wave, Binaural to stimulate your HippoCampus:
Headphones required !

 
It's really nice that so many people clearly recognize me.

My laboured writing style is possibly a product of my coming from a family of journalists. If we are asked for 500 words, we give 500 words.

I wonder if people would like to guess which UK national newspaper they all worked for?

Hint - we are from Manchester.

I'm sorry to bug people but my PC just died in a remarkably spectacular manner. I kept my passwords in a .txt document ON that PC.

The flames have died down, the fire service has dumped my old PC outside my home and I'm not back - with an extra dimention.

I do apologize to anyone who has PMed me or otherwise interacted with me. But I am regularly told that my distinctive writing style is something of a giveaway.

I will continue to do my best to provide the narrow but rare skillset my wasted education provided for me.
Glad to see you're back, I didn't realize that it was you when you showed back up on 3DQSAR

Hope you've been doing alright friend, sounds like you could use a good password manager 😉

I keep all my passwords on my IPhone in the “Notes” app,, they are totally secure and are safe in the cloud even if the phone is lost or destroyed….They’re available across all my Apple devices iPhone,iPad,MacBook..

It’s impossible to remember them all and writing them on paper isn’t safe or reliable..
 
BTW those who know me know I like to go for a nice obscure avitar. Has anyone identified the image yet? No points if you use a reverse image search. In the past I've been highly impressed that someone spotted I was using an image of Marinus van der Lubbe and then that of an obscure early 20th century German poet. I basically just go with whatever image I happen to be researching at the time. This one is a little more contemparary.
 
Well, 1960s would be the correct era, connection with music would also be correct.
 
It's some guy named Jean de Breteuil.

Well, I'm not surprised that you spotted it @Smyth2 - I had been reading about the guy. I've mentioned elsewhere that I used to know another high-end drug mule. They would go anywhere in the world at short notice even saying that the service promised 'anywhere in the world within 24 hours'. Their very minor claim to fame was being mentioned in the Andrew Loog Oldham book 'Stoned' who more or less said exactly that.

Looking back, I never asked them just how much they charged but I know they never carried 'weights' of any drug. They told me about getting on Concorde to get to NYC to fly onward to somewhere in Latin America. They loved the job and did it for over a decade. But to nobody's surprise, the sheer isolation of the work lead them to braking Rule 1, as JdB did...
