   a perfectly normal sight in any computer toucher household

   sadly, no dice with dd. errored out within the first 40 seconds lol

   the data is still on the disk and could probably be recovered by a specialist but I don't happen to have an ISO Class 5 clean room lying around (a shame, I know!) so I'm gonna call it broken beyond repair

   make backups, kids! be glad this wasn't your data. even a simple thumb stick will suffice
