Write some software for yourself in your spare time and perhaps learn a new language to do it in. Then give it away for free and receive adulation/ridicule.
Calibre could do with a decent rival app if you're into ebooks..

Well he was born with congenital absence of the fibula in both legs. His unamputated self wouldn't be much of a runner. So you'd have to compare his blades to what his legs would be like with different DNA. So you might was well compare them to legs in general, which is (probably) what they have done.

At a guess this is caused by mounting with the discard option, or trim as its called in Windows. It tells the drive you don't need the data stored where a deleted file used to be.
Maybe it's still there if you look with a microscope but who really does that?
