Kid got a camera for birthday, went to town taking pictures and exploring it. In
the settings was a menu option innocuously named 'format'. Kid tried it.
Predictable results, kid crushed. Now I'm trying to recover while also trying to
convey a) the camera is not evil b) it's not your fault. It's just stupid
software.

Key words for free and open source data recovery in Linux in 2026: ddrescue and
testdisk.
