People forget, my ex sold her laptop on eBay, but forgot to wipe it and it had a bunch of nudes she had sent me over the years on it. After she realized what she did she told him to wipe the computer because she forgot to 🤦‍♂️ this was like a decade ago before BitLocker/encryption was standard on most laptops. The dude definitely saw her naked.

I had a friend leave her laptop with me for some maintenance. I think it was probably a reformat or something? I return her laptop, and she asks "have you seen my photos in folder X on the desktop?". I responded "no, why would I". She went "oh, such a shame" and made a "cartoonish" pouty face. From the conversation that followed, they were "raunchy".

Like, bruh, I won't be looking into your data. Want me to see something, send it to me straight, don't expect me to snoop around lol

Yeah. We're stupid. Title the folder "/c/Maalus look here" and we might

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Still wouldn't tbh if it wasn't relevant, i.e. if she asked to save specific data from that folder

I've been asked to help a couple save/recover their porn folder. Harder not to see at that point.
