  • take it out of that adapter. lots of people giving good tips but it’s not worth assuming anything about the drive till you plug it directly in. that’s a pretty high capacity drive, and shitty adapters can misbehave in fascinating ways.

    faint clicking is normal from a drive of this size. bigger drives make bigger noises (especially those designed for use in enterprise environments).

    when you plug it in, run smartctl -a on it and post it here. that’ll be definitive for what’s up before you try any of the more creative solutions here.







  • well, of course it’s a problem. no one here is saying anything otherwise. all we’re talking about here is whether the typical “americans voting for known genocide supporters” applies here. and this is one of the rare cases where no, he genuinely wasn’t that person when he was elected.

    of course it’s a problem that we vote for people and people change. in a better world, we’d vote for ideologies, not people, because people change, but you’re arguing up the wrong tree in this particular case. in general, I really do agree with you, but that’s not really applicable here.
