@sarahw - Here’s a wacky one! This user 3274962 is posting Rewa guides and video’s. While the information is correct the images are all watermarked with Rewa and its clear they (Rewa) is pushing this out to gain repairs as the last step always posts a link to their site. This is clearly in a grey space! I think you need to decide what to do.

Wow & Nice! Being cooped up staying away from Mr Nasty has been tough! We got hit hard here in Boston. Keeping busy helping answer questions kept my mind off Mr Nasty and has made the waiting game a lot more tolerable! I have to thank all of you at iFixit! Your efforts on moving the industry forward and then taking on medical equipment in such a big way is so great! The world is finally seeing things a bit clearer on serviceability and recycling! We still have a long way to go but its clear some are listening! So I thank you for the kind words and my virtual bow, as well my own clapping of hands for all of you! The other Mod’s and the iFixit team! It takes a virtual world wide village! And we have one right here!:

@scotth - This issue is within the data flow. The SATA II interface within the system (Host) can only accept the data so fast from the drive (Slave), A slow platter drive which offers a SATA III interface will rarely push the data flow to the upper limits of 6.0 Gb/s and the buffers have a chance to finish before the next stream of data would come. With SSD's there is no break in the stream like a fragmented HDD would have. Thus, the SATA interface buffers overflow and the data blocks CRC fails so then that data block then needs to be retransmitted. While on the surface this doesn't look like such a big deal having a few blocks needing to be resent. The truth is often times in 1000 of blocks! And then some of these blocks then need to be re-sent a third, forth and onward which can take a bit of time. If the person causes the system to exit out of the transaction the file/s then become corrupt. In addition, the system is working harder than it needs to so both the system and drives thermals go up and the in...

The next wave may not be the virus its self but the lack of man power to keep the food industry working! Here in Boston we are still seeing massive shortages of basic foods and supplies. Some of it I’m sure is panic buying but a lot of it is the inability to process and produce the raw materials coming from the farms. We see massive waste in all facets at the farms milking herds being culled, chickens turkeys, pigs & steer euthanized and buried. Farmers plowing under all kinds of vegetables and fruits which can’t be harvested and fields left unplanted! To add to that some produce still needs to be hand picked like tomatoes, melons & squashes. The work force tended to be laborers from outside of the country as the pay was low and working conditions are hard. As all work visas have been canceled who is doing this work? The work force across all of the low paying jobs are often living in larger households or barracks on a farm, a ripe place for transmission of a contagious virus! We need to develop better...

Well things are still not good here in the North East The latest news on the coronavirus outbreak in New England There is no way we will be able to relax things for most of the summer. Getting hair cuts will take some doing, as I doubt we will survive without them soon. My dogs are also in desperate need now for a good bath and cut.
