Windows iCloud sent 50,000+ photos to Recently Deleted. It was more than 30 days until I noticed, and my photos are gone.

10 years of memories, gone like that. I had the same issue as this poster:

Which was never answered in the iCloud community, as far as I can tell.
This happened to me once or twice, I noticed that my Windows iCloud was doing this and went to Recently Deleted to restore them. I thought it was weird but I very naively underestimated that this was an issue.

I didn't notice that this happened recently, probably about 5 weeks ago, because now they are permanently deleted from the Recently Deleted folder. Apple support cannot help. I've spoken to two of their reps, they both said the photos are permanently erased.

I am trying some recovery software online, but most likely in vain.

I guess this is the experience that will finally make me go analog and trash my smartphone. If anyone out there has any advice, I'd love to hear it, but I accept that those memories are just gone.

Alien pregnant and my wife had twins, so I made a triplet paradise

Playing triplet toddlers is probably one of the most challenging things you can do in the sims 2, especially if you try to get all 4 (potty, walk, talk, nursery rhyme) and upskill the available toddler skills, I try to get at least 4 skill points in each before age-up. This home addition I created makes it easy as pie. The must-have part of any toddler room (I even place it now for single toddlers) is a fridge, countertop for Smart Milk, and garbage bin for bottle removal. It takes so much pain away from feeding them. Celeste, Harry & August love their room! Would you be interested in seeing how I play them as kids?

Dirk and Lilith's gothic wedding on my custom wedding lot

I made a custom wedding lot perfect for the alternative couples, I called it Til Death Do Us Part Weddings. What's more romantic than a graveyard behind your reception? I made the chapel sort of vampire themed, with a large front garden, spacious entertainment area, and toilets! Dirk Dreamer & Lilith Pleasant got married with attendees Angela & Dustin Broke (already married) and Daniel & Mary Sue Pleasant. Daniel annoyingly was in a track suit for the wedding(??) This is also not the dress I had intended Lilith to wear, but ah well, she looks good.

Apologies for my poor quality in game screenshots, and I am not talented at taking photos without plumbobs and thought bubbles. I don't know how people even do it!

I use the MidgeTheTree mod for Community Lot Parties. They had a Roof Raiser!
