Can a deactivated account on facebook be traced?
All deleting an account does is move it from a viewable active state to an unveiwable hidden state. All this means is that the account can not be viewed by the public, but there are records that are still on FB's servers. The profile still exists, it just isn't accessible by the general public, or the former people on the friends list. FB employees with proper access can still access the profile, as well as the associated IP and MAC address that was used to access the account. In order for FB to fully lose all data they would need to do a DoD accepted erase, by DoD standards a drive must be erased 8 times with zeros written over all data. Even IF FB managed to shut down that specific server, backup the active accounts and all the data, then format the hard drive, it is unlikely it would be to DoD standard, and a forensic scan can retrieve all deleted data. However it is unlikely they would do this since thousands of accounts would be temporarily inaccessible while the server is offline, and all of the work of backing up active accounts and whatnot. IF and ONLY IF the police get a warrant and manage to serve it to FB would the police be able to actually do anything. Chances are it is just some punk kid trying to troll, and it is HIGHLY doubtful the police will get involved since there was no crime actually committed, especially a crime that would constitute a warrant for FB's servers.
How can I fix my Mac not recognizing my WD external hard drive?
Hey,Let me ask you this first. Did it mounted successfully last time you plugged into the Mac. Was there an unusual behaviour of the disk say an unpleasant clicking noise? When you plug your WD external hard drive to macOS, does it show in Finder or Disk Utility? Perhaps the external hard drive is either listed as unmounted drive in the disk utility or not listed at all. If its unmounted in the Disk Utility then the hard drive name will be greyed out.Here is what Western Digital recommends you to do when WD doesn’t show up https://support.wdc.com/knowledg...File System ProblemWD not getting recognized on macOS because of a possible corruption occurred either on partition table or hfs directory structure corruption.

If a burglar steals my pc with confidential info stored on it and requires a password to log in. Can the thief still access my information?
Yes. Breaking the windows password is as easy as removing the hard drive and plugging it into another computer as a second hard drive, If you have confidential information you need to use an encryption program. There are several free ones out there and ones you can purchase for a few dollars. The windows password only keeps out the idly curious.

PS3 Data Transfer Utility doesn't work?
Try to backup your data onto an external HDD. Make sure the external HDD is formatted to FAT32 and that there is enough free space. Then restore the data onto the slim model using the external HDD. From what I've read, if you are getting the 800283E4 error message, usually it's because there is a corrupt file preventing the Backup Utility from working properly. If you are using the utility over a network, it could be a network related error. The problem with error 800283E4 is that it's a very generic error and not well documented with very few solutions. One solution was to make sure that both PS3 systems have the latest firmware installed. Another solution I saw was to restore defaults on the system(s), thereby completely defeating the purpose of the Backup Utility. So this one was pointless. I hope that this situation clears itself out. Good luck.
Will Windows 10 Retail become void if I completely format my hard disk (without a recovery partition) without deactivating the key?
It will not become void. And you do not need a recovery partition, it is loaded with crapware and ads anyway. Locate an empty 4 gig USB drive. Download the Media Creation Tool from Micro$oft to your desktop, start the media tool, make a Window$ 10 installation USB. Make sure of your Micro$oft account, it helps with activation. Now do a clean fresh installation of Win-10 without the OEM garbage.
