So, at 7:01 PM CST yesterday (May 2nd), my microSD card with 11 months of pictures and videos was randomly formatted, and every image on my device was deleted. I have very little idea as to why or how this happened, though I have my suspicions.
Luckily, I managed to restore most of those images and videos via DiskDigger (deleted data is marked as "overwriteable" on a hard drive when "deleted" though is rarely automatically overwritten with null bytes, and thus often times recoverable to an extent if you're quick enough) and even found a few files from back in June
