Once you found out it was a ST3000DM001, you should have backed up immediately. 978 bad sectors has almost certainly exceeded the reserve sectors and would be eating into your files, which would absolutely account for the long time necessary to load folders.

With something like this though, you'd have trouble backing everything up via Windows — try something like ddrescue on a Linux live CD to account for the read errors. Failing that, you could see if a nearby repair shop has either RapidSpar data recovery hardware, or a PC-3000 which would make recovery of the majority of your content trival, and more affordable than full blown data recovery labs.

Windows users complaining that a Linux (or at a stretch, even Mac) app doesn't have a Windows version.

The ending has all the feels and the ending song is with it is phenomenal.

I refuse to listen to it via the OST. Full online-enabled playthrough only, for silly little reasons.

Damn the USB-IF naming schemes be wild these days.

The article does it right: test@test.com and other similar things (e.g: a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it'll proceed to create an offline account.

The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.

But isn't 'quiet quitting' the act of the employee giving the bare minimum needed to achieve a paycheck? It sounds like you're talking about getting employees to flat-out quit so the company doesn't need to pay benefits that come with being fired.

From a repair standpoint, Brother are definitely the best option (that I know of). I do authorised repair work for them, and their support guides, technical support team and range of spare parts is absolutely amazing. The biggest problem I see is aftermarket toner wrinkling up the fuser of laser models, but that's not like it's something Brother's introduced to be anti-competitive slime bags.

I've got a second-hand HL-5370DW (from 2009~) that's been through the wringer of a medical practice - I still use it to print without any issue, despite the Web UI insisting that all the non-toner consumables need to be replaced immediately.
