• What to do with obsolete iMacs and MacBooks

  As a retro tech enthusiast I beg of you not to trash them. Put them on facebook marketplace, craigslist, ebay, whatever. Nerds like me will take them off your hands happily, and regular people can still use them for daily tasks. I'm typing this out on a 2014 macbook pro, and I use a 2011 imac for any fun side projects I like doing so I don't mess up my main PC. You can also donate them to goodwill or salvation...

• Remove Fedora from dual boot with Windows 11

• Cannot extend partition after shrinking it

• Extend c: drive partition in windows 10

  In order to extend a partition, the unallocated space must immediately follow the partition. If there's something between the partition and the unallocated space, then you'll need to use a more sophisticated partition manager to rearrange things. GParted can do this, for example. I think Macrium Reflect can do this, too, though I usually use it for cloning. Source: about 1 year ago

  Presuming you want to sell it with windows running, first make a Window boot disk so you can recover. Then use DBAN (https://dban.org/) to completely wipe the drive. Then reinstall Windows up to the setup stage. The new owner will experience it as a new computer. Source: 10 months ago

• (Question) Cheapest method to destroy the (content of) hard drive

  I do love all the creative ways to completely destroy a drive, but in general you should just be able to use DBAN if you just want to wipe the drive to make data recovery near impossible, but still be able to use it afterwards. Source: 10 months ago

• How to erase/shred/wipe SSD securely on Windows and Ubuntu?

  You have a few options. The easiest in my opinion is just to smash the hard drives (assuming you don't want to reuse or sell them). Otherwise I use DBAN for permanently wiping HDDs: https://dban.org/ Try using your motherboard's UEFI BIOS for SSD or maybe even the manufacturer's utility if you have one. Source: 11 months ago
