    Study programmes with data recovery related lectures?

    Are there any universities that offer data recovery related lectures, e.g. in computer science or engineering related study programmes? It seems like there would be much potential in researching different techniques, yet I can't seem to find that topic in universities. Is all that knowledge hidden in privately owned companies?

    FOSS Alternative to Forest

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/191444

    Forest is an Android and iOS app (and web addon) that lets you track the amount of time you have spent studying.

    I just it to track how much time I've spent studying from month-to-month and from subject-to-subject (through using tags). I don't know that there is an open-source alternative but if there is, that would be amazing. I am about to be finished with college for the summer and so will have time to potentially develop an app if there isn't already one.

    <br>

    <br>

    Requirements:

    • timer option
    • countdown option
    • tags (for specific subjects or activities)
    • statistics page with weekly, monthly, and annual views

    Nice Features to Have:

    • study together option
    • number of people currently studying

    Studying with ADHD!

    (This was part of a three-part series I wrote on how I got through nursing school with ADHD)

    When trying to study and pay attention with ADHD it helps to understand optimal stimulation theory. Here’s an article to read if you want the nitty gritty, but I’m gonna break it down the way I understand it. This is the idea that ADHD is actually a disorder of an under-stimulation, and that you have to increase stimulation to increase attention. It has to be just enough though, as too much stimulation also reduces attention. The problem is research into the specifics has gotten mixed and inconclusive results. The best advice is again, for each person to do what helps them.

    So put on some educational videos at home and try a bunch of different things out. Whatever helps you pay attention to the speaker most is what you should do. Here's some things I've tried and how I choose the right activity for various situations. It should give you somewhere to start.
