I just got done talking to Amazon about a 512GB Samsung 960 PRO SSD I bought that was clearly tampered with. I plugged it in and it already had Windows installed on it... ok, weird... Go to format, see that it's only a 256GB. Unplug it and examine closer, it's pretty obvious the guy took the Samsung stickers off and placed them on a 256GB Hynix SSD, then returned that for a refund.
Anyway, I plug it back in and start snooping, he has loads of homework on there with his name all over it, address in documents, etc... Bonus is that Amazon said I could keep this one and they're sending a new one next day.

You know in movies when people do a 180 in their car and then as they pull away they fishtail? It is a classic movie car chase bit. I did that this morning on the ice, it was lots of fun.

This is why in usually only buy the stuff direct from Amazon/Newegg rather than through random sellers that appear there.

@momurda It was direct from Amazon! The chat support lady was like "Let pull up the order so I can report the seller" then she's like ohhh it was us, I'm so sorry, new one will be there tomorrow.

I'm considering if I want to stand up Grafana to monitor a few systems for performance. Not sure if I actually need it though or not. .

wow... I won't let drives go without nuking them... and most of time, I strip them down, keep the platters to fireball later.
I don't trust much.. I take hammers to USB and mcSD cards.

ha. . . you should email and tell him you have his homework. .

I did. I messaged him on FB. I doubt he'll respond. It looks like him and his wife used to run a computer repair "company" of sorts.
I almost think that maybe somebody stole the laptop from this guy... Why would you ever leave incriminating evidence on the hard drive otherwise... or maybe he's just an idiot :man_shrugging:

Yea it's likely that he is just an idiot. Why would a theft go through the effort of swapping stickers on an SSD.
They'd just sell the entire laptop to a pawn shop or keep it and use. it.

AY yo what up everybody! I'm super angry because Fedex drop off my package at the main office of my complex and the office is saying they didn't get a package. Went to Fedex Shipping and distributing and they keep insisting it was dropped off and I called the main office of my complex again and still no Package.
So now no one has the friggin package.
Lovely times. -
