Now why didn't I think of that? I must be worth money to someone as a card carrying V...

Copying all the data elsewhere and re-partition is still the right answer...

You could possibly get away with copying the data out of the last partition, deleting the last 3 and extending the other one then copying the data back but, as others have said, you seem to have rather too many partitions.

ETA: there is no way to merge ntfs and ext4 partitions anyway - even without the intervening partitions that are present here. Copy, destroy extend is the only way.

Works for me if I click the thumbnail from 'all'; fails if I go to the post.

Not just redgifs (iirc) either so probably a video thing rather than an NSFW related thing.

Planetary for me.

In the UK there is a split between England and Wales and Scotland. "southern" UK trespass is a civil offence. Scotland it is criminal.

So in southern UK trespassers will most definitely not be prosecuted (the railway and power plant property are, iirc, the two exceptions because they have by-laws) but may be sued for damages, in Scotland they can be prosecuted.

Sorry to spoil the party but this comment was typed on Microsoft swift key 9.10.44.22, Huawei p20 pro, Voyager 2.17.1, emui 12.0.0

No bother with swipes (don't usually use them), backspace, predictive text - though word suggestions only appear when I stop the swipe.

Eta: Voyager is from Play Store.

Apart from having the flags the wrong way around, what's wrong?

You are right, it doesn't happen with any other O/S except iOS where you have to pay people/Apple to fix it (or reset the OS) or Windows where the stock response is "reinstall the O/S"

How valuable is the data on your laptop? Did you have it backed up? If so, stop worrying and just take the Windows approach. If not... Find someone local to you who is able to fix it (good luck with that...)

As for the rest - you come over as someone who expects someone else to fix your shit for free with no information other than "waaaa it's stopped working"

This may help How to as Smart Questions

Fwiw, based on your brief description of symptoms, I would say your boot device file system is broken somehow. To fix you need to mount it on another booted OS and fsck it (however if it mounts, copy valuable data off onto other media, then fsck it) . How to do that is left to your powers of Google. Not warranting my response in any way.

Best of luck.

First up - I know nothing about your specific problem. Let me add some pointers as to why you may be having difficulty...

You need to provide way more detail than a screenshot (which shows nothing really) and "why is it broken?"

What is the hardware, what is the boot device, what is the boot loader (and version), what does the boot loader config look like... There could be any number of things that stop the boot, including a corrupt boot file.

No one is able to diagnose your problem from the information you have provided.

If you are unwilling to grab a USB stick from a retailer, boot a different OS image and try some diags on your original file system you may well find people reluctant to help (for free...)

One thing other answers have missed is that some ssds encrypt data before writing and obviously after reading (this prevents a swap the storage controller type attack) A secure erase on such a device consists of changing the read/write key. Takes milliseconds. Irrevocable (unless you find a way to read previous contents of the key storage)
