On my Ubuntu ASUS laptop, I had 2 Terminals running Ddrescue two external USB. Both Terminals ran for 2 days at the same time with no problems. But then one of the Terminals appears to be frozen now. I closed the frozen Terminal. I opened a new Terminal to try to run Ddrescue on the second disc drive but then that new Terminal appears to be frozen too. The problem is the first Terminal is actively running Ddrescue on the first drive. I do not want to interrupt or stop the first drive. 01:35 PM: I copied VHS to DVD using a VHS to DVD combo machine but did not finalize the DVD. Calculate the probability that I can find a way to copy the raw data as is from the disc to my Ubuntu ASUS laptop somehow. Right now, the Gnome Disks program says the disc drive is connected but that disc has no media. Ddrescue said no medium found.

Did you know after many years, I failed at trying to attract old men to be meme masters in my Discord servers, Facebook groups, and other communities?

People are conflating AI with quantum computing which utilizes qubits which goes beyond mere binary code (0 & 1). AI can run on regular computers and not just on quantum hardware meaning AI is simply sophisticated if-this-then-that logic coding software which is programming 2.0.
