My computer died. I lost everything.
6 years ago
For you guys that are curious for why i didn't posted any new page of Micro Law Comic yesterday or even the sketches or any new drawings it's because my computer simply died. I lost everything. So basically, everyone that was waiting new drawings, or even the ones that are clients that payed for commissions, I would like to say sorry and I'll try my best to recover my computer (Basically i'm using a very weak laptop now), install the programs again and start everything from zero. I was in my week of tests so I didn't had any time to make backups.
It will be a lot of work and a lot of things to do, but these are things that I must do. Again, I'm sorry, but that was a problem i was not expecting. If everything happen as planned, on monday I'll have my computer fixed, I'll be able to install everything again (if things dont happen as planned, I'll need a few more days).
For you all, viewers, clients or patrons, I only beg for patience. That's it.

You probably didn't lose EVERYTHING. Give me a rundown- will it not boot? Does it go to BIOS at least?
We may be able to recover the files.
Best case scenario, the hard drive is intact and all it takes is to hook it up to a working desktop. Anyone that can put their hands inside a pc can do this.
Worst case scenario, the firmware on the disk has crashed wich will require an extremely complicated procedure. You need an expert for this.
hard drives never die quickly. before they die completely, you get blue screens, slowdowns, the infamous "cyclic redundancy error", and various hickups and glitches. If last time you used the pc everything seemed fine, it's highly unlikely the hard drive is dead.
Remember this: ssds are unreliable. DO NOT SAVE IMPORTANT FILES INSIDE SSDS. EVER.
they are prone to failure, fail without giving any pre advice, and once they fail it's impossible to recover the files. If you get a laptop with a single ssd inside, I suggest investing in an external hard drive (make sure it's HDD and not SSD). Those units are stupid cheap and having one will save you from this happening again.
