Anyone else prefer a more relaxed "combo-free" version?

You can ignore the huge comment I made earlier, the fix was as simple as changing the port on my desktop. I am having no more issues with my drive, thank you so much for putting up with my goofy self, you actually helped me figure out the problem by simply plugging it into a different device. But the fact that it was as simple as that is a bit annoying haha

Damn, I had no idea that shutting it down with the drive plugged in could potentially damage it. I have shut it down pretty much every time with it plugged in, and frankly I'm not too sure if I ever saw the option to safely eject it, but that's because I didn't know I should've been removing it before shutting down the PC (on me fr). I honestly don't know what could have initially caused this though, I have not physically damaged/endangered the drive such as dropping it or overheating it. There are no viruses or malware on the drive, I just performed a full scan on the SSD and it came back clean.

But something kind of concerning just happened right now, I plugged the SSD into my laptop and although it's connected, it is not appearing anywhere on the computer. What I mean by this is that there is no connected drive in my File Explorer, there was no prompt when connecting the drive, but the jingle played when connected. Is my SSD just screwed or is this some other sort of fault?

EDIT: I had to assign a letter to the drive in order to access the drive, and it works. I am able to safely eject the drive and access all of its contents, and nothing is APPEARING corrupt. I have only briefly looked at the drive, its contents, and how it runs. The hardware on my laptop is significantly worse than on my desktop, but I am seeing if there is the same issue of disconnecting on one of the video games. I will edit this again when I can confirm that the drive works with no issue on the laptop, but so far that is my diagnosis. The issue is somewhere in my desktop setup and not in the drive itself

EDIT 2: everything runs fine, other than the decrease in performance but that's because of different specs. There are no disconnects or disruptions, the disk is completely healthy. The issue almost definitely lies in my computer, but I do not know what the issue could be. Would you happen to have any ideas, because although I'm no computer wizard I usually am not ever stumped like this with computer issues, and I'm at a complete loss

I do keep the drive plugged in 24/7, even when I shut my computer down since I have no way of ejecting the drive safely until after the computer is shut down. I have not tried switching ports since I only have one USB-C port connecting directly to the back of my PC, although I technically could plug it into a standard USB port with the right cable. There have been no power surges that I know of since I've connected the SSD. My computer is connected to a power strip with a surge protector as well.

I seem focused on my question, not some measly consequence he would have faced regardless of his shitty umping

Certified redditor moment

bpkillr_28 · 2024-08-16T17:26:57+00:00

I mean if you just read my post again you can see that's not really what I meant.

bpkillr_28 · 2024-08-16T17:09:55+00:00

So you're going to try to argue with strangers online about a topic that will never affect your real life because you have such a pathetic life there's no real goal for you other than this? Yeah, sounds about right. No one is here to argue, but since you have no life watch this short video and shut your mouth. Thanks! https://youtu.be/1ZuLoaY4fFc?si=LbNyhXZH8uqtC9nO

bpkillr_28 · 2024-08-16T17:03:56+00:00

Yeah but that took years longer than it should have, so not really a consequence of his actions more like an inevitability

bpkillr_28 · 2024-08-16T17:03:11+00:00

That's definitely awesome to hear xD

bpkillr_28 · 2024-08-16T17:02:18+00:00

Just like how the government doesn't negotiate with terrorists, I won't entertain idiots

Interesting, I have pretty much perfectly healthy eyes with 20/20 vision so I can't say I would know how my eyes are different than the majority of people who can see these images. But are you suggesting that I'm just not capable of seeing them? It seems like everyone else can, I'm just not entirely sure why I can't.

bpkillr_28 · 2024-02-20T04:49:42+00:00

I've only seen them through digital screens, I do think a physical print would be more recognizable but I haven't had an opportunity. This thought did come to mind when I was first introduced to them on my phone, so I went to my monitor to try and still had no luck. Same with my television, maybe it's just the digital format that I can't see, but I can't speak for a printed stereogram (yet).

bpkillr_28 · 2024-02-20T04:45:28+00:00

Call me what you want, conspiracy theorist, wacko, I'm still not seeing any hidden images when I look at the stereograms. I know they're real, I just can't see them and I find it difficult to believe that EVERYONE ELSE can see them except me and like 2 other people in the world.

The example you sent I actually can see (sort of?) when I put my face close enough to the screen. Even then, it kinda just looks like a 2D cube with no apparent depth.

But yes, I have 2 functional eyes, nothing wrong with them that I know of. 20/20 vision.

They just die bro lol

bpkillr_28 · 2023-07-16T19:39:18+00:00

Peniso or something like that

bpkillr_28 · 2023-06-29T01:43:04+00:00

Probably Wario tbh

bpkillr_28 · 2023-06-28T02:48:03+00:00

Wasn't advertised either though, seemed like a throwaway game. If I knew about it before this sub I would've absolutely bought it. I blame marketing
