It is fundamentally impossible to secure delete files, especially on newer HDDs and all SSDs. You never know how the controller firmware is going to layout data or copy data around to optimize access or invoke wear leveling. The only way to securely “delete” something is to put it on an encrypted file system and forget the encryption key, assuming any apps you open the files in don’t copy the files to a local cache on the boot volumes. -

TBF, it has had PST support for quite a while now. But I still want them to add the ability to drag & drop between accounts / PSTs. -

LibreOffice closes in on Office, leaves Windows 7/8 behind in 25.8 Beta 1 by David Uzondu The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 25.8 Beta 1 for public testing on Linux, macOS, and Windows. This is the second pre-release for the 25.8 cycle and the foundation says that the final, stable version of LibreOffice 25.8 is expected to land at the end of August 2025. Starting off with Writer, LibreOffice's Word, the developers have finally addressed some long-standing annoyances, including a new command to easily insert a paragraph break right before a table. This beta also introduces a useful privacy feature in its Auto-Redact tool, letting you strip all images from a document with a single option. To use it, go to Tools and select the Auto-Redact option: The application has improved its ability to handle different languages for punctuation, preventing mix-ups in multilingual documents. Other notable improvements have also been made. A new hyphenation rule lets you choose to prevent a word from splitting at the end of a page, moving the whole line to the next page instead. Microsoft Word has had this feature for years now. The Navigator now displays a handy tooltip with word and character counts for headings and their sub-outlines. Scrolling behavior when selecting text has been improved, making it less erratic. A new command with a keyboard shortcut was added for converting fields into plain text. Calc gets a lot of new functions that bring it closer to its competitors like Excel, including TEXTSPLIT, VSTACK, and WRAPROWS. Impress now properly supports embedded fonts in PPTX files, which should reduce headaches when sharing presentations with PowerPoint users. Alongside these additions, the project is also cleaning house; support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 has been completely dropped. There are also smaller UI tweaks across the suite, like allowing a single click to enter rotation mode for objects in Writer and Calc. macOS users get better integration, with proper support for native full screen mode and new window management features from the Sequoia update. In terms of performance, the team has optimized everything from loading huge DOC files and XLSX spreadsheets with tons of conditional formatting to simply switching between sheets in Calc. These improvements should be noticeable, especially when working with complex documents. A new application-wide "Viewer mode" has also been implemented, which opens all files in a read-only state for quick, safe viewing. On a related note, The Document Foundation has joined efforts by the likes of KDE to encourage Windows 10 users to switch to Linux. Also, you might have heard that Denmark, in a bid to lessen its reliance on Microsoft, has decided to make a full switch to LibreOffice, with plans to begin phasing out Office 365 in certain ministries as early as next month. If you're interested in this release, you can read the full release notes and download the binaries for your platform: Windows, macOS (Intel | Apple Silicon), or Linux (DEB | RPM).

Question
Bi0haZarD
so i decided i wanted to play around with my Restore Partition on my New Comp.. I found the source that the recovery program reads from to restore the hard drive. (My New Comp)
so i exported all the files, and started to play around with them (so i don't break the actual partition... doubt i could.. but just incase lol).
The files are..
D0E0AGRA.000 -> D0E0AGRA0.094 (all 51 megs.. 4.59 gigs total)
D0E0AGRA.wsi (1kb, and looks to have an xml layout)
D0E0AGRA.dsi (1.26 megs)
now.. i figured i'd try winrar for the 000 -> 094 files as it looks to be just an archive split into 94 parts.. no success.
.wsi looks to be just an xml file..
.dsi file appears to have the same layout as the .000 -> .094 files but instead it looks like it holds size of files or offsets or somethin, in 4 bytes into 8byte chunks.
and what i know about the files:
numerical files "Data" files.. all start with "40 00 ** ** 57 53 56 44" (** are unknown to me, but they change).. "57 53 56 44" is Ascii for "WSVD"
dsi file starts with.. "40 00 69 ED 57 53 56 49" (left "69 ED" cause i don't have another dsi file to compare against.. and "57 53 56 49" is Ascii for "WSVI"
(WSVD and WSVI)
now i figure, unless this is a completely closed program, there should be a program out there to read them.. but as of yet i've yet to run into any programs that can open these.. and looking for numeric file extensions is like finding a needle in a haystack..
now... people will probably question "why bother?"
1. for future slipstreaming vista + Service Packs
2. for unattended vista installs
3. Removal of the "bloatware".. I will never use most of the apps included.
4. More Options in terms of Partitioning, Dual Booting, Etc..
5. I'm fairly certain i can make the CD's if i can get the data out.. i've done it with my XP Restore CD's
6. I'm really bored. lol.
and just because i have it... heres what i believe to be the header of one of the files incase it helps someone help me lol.
