    Super sad storytime. Back in the early 2000s, I had an awesome Sony camera phone with a real xenon flash.

    I probably had thousands of photos on it on an SD card that has been through multiple phones.

    Suddenly, my mom started feeling pains in her stomach area and was later diagnosed with staged 4 cancer.

    After she passed away, I accidentally fell into a lake and broke my phone and lost every photo and video of my mom. I only have a video of her voice that I posted on Facebook while she was washing my dog for the first time.

    Since then, I haven’t lost a single photo. Each photo and video is saved in 4 different locations, in a B2 bucket and in different countries.

    I still have this old phone. I’m hoping one day I can retrieve it. Until then, always save your photos in multiple places.

      If you still have that phone, try a data recovery specialist. They might be able to get something out.

      I’m sorry for your loss.

      Computer stores might be able to retrieve the data. It’s better if you go somewhere locally owned, they might have a suggestion for a specialist.

        I have tried. Mailed it to a specialist in Taiwan that claimed it was possible. Couldn’t get the data out.
