Yes. Every so often, an anti-Linux troll gets swatted for visiting Linux
groups to spread alarm that Linux will destroy their hardware. Since we
enjoy that, following up with many witty replies, I thought it a swell
idea to bring the fun to win-droids with a crosspost.

Fact - Most dead HDDs, nearly all of them, are found to be infected with
NTFS.

Maybe because NTFS is the default Windows filesystem, commonly used
since early 2000s?

used for a long time in RAID that still check out perfect. I just put
one in the Icy dock and it checks out at 834 days est, remaining life.
I use these for cloning my SSD C drive backups.

I approve :-)

It's the Energizer Bunny of disk drives.

Some day, it will be the only one left in the Smithsonian.

Talking about motors and gears and such, Have you seen the Chrysler ad
for their new crate motor?
426 ci Hemi, 1000 HP, $29,995.00 US, Just what every Lada owner needs
:-)

It's nice that it comes with a display mount on the
bottom, as all you have to do is bolt wheels onto the
display box.

Just the thrust from the exhaust should move you
along the ground.

You can do nifty things, like back when I was in high school,
someone did a brake stand while waiting in traffic outside
the high school. Burying everyone around him in rubber smoke.
With a big engine... come big brakes. I haven't seen anyone do
that since. So at least that big engine will come in handy,
for shaving a couple hundred dollars worth of rubber
off the tires.

I believe it was a weak pass at a joke.
