Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

@dgerard What kind of HD? I have at least 4, incl. 2 x 500GB, 1 x 1TB, that are not "seen" anymore by the system... as if the head was "locked" somehow...
The original is a 1TB mechanical hard disk, the new one is a 2TB SSD. I just copied the disk image with ddrescue and it works (and took 2 hours). Next step: expand the partition to 2TB with gparted.
@dgerard But was it recognized before, but unreadable?
@dgerard All mines go "tik tik tik tik tik..." but nothing more...
They copied it with some weird enshittified Windows software but the resulting disk wouldn't boot, so I did it again with ddrescue and expanded the partition with gparted.
