Looking for info for more advanced SSD data recovery

I have a SATA SSD that is not detected by computers. It does not have the obvious power supply problems (e.g. shorted caps). I sent it to a popular and reputable mail-in data recovery company recommended on the forum but they were not able to recover any data. They said there are no obvious faults detected with the chips but they can't access the data. Likely cause is dead controller, corrupted firmware or degraded flash that tools like PC3000 doesn't support yet for the particular SSD model.

So, more advanced data recovery process is required but it's unclear what are the specific things that could be done. I would appreciate specific examples of more advanced data recovery processes. For example, would unsoldering the flash chips from the PCB enable data recovery? Or it's likely the end of the road.

TIA

Is account suspension common with MVNO's?

I am considering switching from postpaid plan to a prepaid MVNO plan but the numerous posts about account suspension with no clear explanation or ability to port out is concerning. Is account suspension common with MVNO's? I can understand account suspension but why no explanation or ability to port out?

I have a family plan so I certain do not want an honest mistake by a family member lead to all lines on the account losing access and phone numbers.

Does Tello support 5G Standalone on iPhone now?

I have read several posts from the past that Tello doesn't have some kind of carrier bundle with Apple so Tello on iPhone can't access 5G Standalone services. A quick search did not turn up any official Tello documentation about this. Can anyone confirm Tello's current 5G Standalone support on iPhone?

As T-mobile migrate towards more 5G Standalone I am wondering if Tello 5G connectivity will get worse if they don't support 5G Standalone.

Onn 4k Pro V2 upscaling Issues

https://preview.redd.it/2o7ola4dd00h1.png?width=818&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d4691605e3388f484c47f977cdb94aa3632a575

Has anyone seen similar upscaling issues?

Upscaling of content with text (especially white text on dark background) has lots of very annoying artifacts. Looks like over-sharpening artifacts. As shown in the attached image, Onn upscaling is much worse than than the upscaling in my 10+ year old TV.

Does anyone know how to reduce/disable sharpening in the Onn box? I have already tried the AI SR setting and it has no meaningful effect.

Switch to NOW Internet *and* keep Xfinity TV service?

I understand that one must cancel existing Xfinity Internet service in order to get NOW Internet service. However, can I keep existing Xfinity cable TV service with NOW Internet?
