dd: disk destroyer

My SD card reader doesn’t even have a light.

I also ~~like to live dangerously~~ can’t afford a new one that’s fast enough.

Or what I did the other day, put in a dd command with bs=1 where I meant to type bs=1M. Why is this taking so long? Is my drive broken? Is it even doing anything? Took me a while to notice my mistake

Always check your commands and devices.

I like how you assume double-checking would save my dumb ass. Hell, maybe it does. I’ll run fdisk or lsblk, stare at each character, and run it again just to be safe

Oh, sorry to hear it wouldn’t help.

I refuse to use that command now. I’ll just write isos with imagewriter like the pleb I am. I know my place
