I’m curious, what AI features do you use and why? I can’t even figure out what one is supposed to do.

Yoga clothes?

The dev entry point changing like that means that it disconnected and then reconnected, which shouldn’t have anything to do with the specific file system on the drive. That really makes it sound like the drive isn’t getting quite enough power, which causes a brown out, which Linux detects as the drive getting unplugged and coming back, which is why it gets a new dev entry.

A look through the usb logs by using something like usbrip would confirm that.

Interesting. When you say that they show up as a different drive completely, do you mean that their UUIDs change, or that they get mounted at a different point?

Anyway, random disconnection sounds like a hardware issue, maybe a USB brownout, as much as anything else. What’s your connection setup, distro and kernel version?

Eh? I've never had a problem with reading NTFS drives in linux, including USB sticks and SATA/USB adapters. Are you just wanting to read them or use them as read/write? Write is a bit more tricky, requiring ntfs-3g, but most reasonable distros come with that nowadays.

Mint. It’s a great, simple, well supported first distro. And last distro, TBH. I know plenty of people like to distro hop as a hobby, but if you just want to use your machine pick a well supported basic distro and stick with it. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora are all good options, but Mint is really aimed at newcomers.

Except, you know, for everyone that has an iRobot device that is going to lose connectivity soon.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to support anything from iRobot. I’m hoping that there will be a jailbreak made available before they go bankrupt, but I doubt it.

I mean, I’m pretty upset that I won’t be able to see a living pentaceratops, seismosaurus, or T-Rex. So, no, I think it’s fine.

If I lived in Florida shudder or really anywhere with programs like this, I'd be damn tempted to start a pagan school. "Today kids, to finish our ecology section we will be planting a ring of oak trees, and then chanting for their blessing. Health class will have a discussion of the latest research on the impacts of meditation, art will be painting a set of symbols from your tradition. Math will be the next section on trigonometry."

I’m pretty surprised they haven’t just rolled over, TBH.

Discovery happens well before the jury is seated.
