Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I’m very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren’t.

I’ve even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.

It was a good theory, but no luck. I’m perplexed on this one.

With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives

A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

Windows says they’re all NTFS.

Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?

The internet with a proper ad blocker is a game changer. Take the five minutes to figure it out. You’ll save more as free time than that on your first day.

Ironically, you could also YouTube how to install Firefox, then unlock.

I’m drooling at the thought.

I am curious how many people don’t have an inner monologue, but there are a few articles on the subject. Here’s one at random.>

Who would have thought that another merger would not lead to lower prices for the consumer? Break all these companies until there’s like 10.

Girls

Not correct.

I have coworkers in Texas that got hit with multi thousand dollar bills during brown outs.

Deregulating critical services never ends well for the consumer.

Hey now. I’m sure the one woman here, not promoting her OF, has an opinion.

I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.

I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).

Hopefully Musk’s shitty little empire crumbles…soon.

A speeding ticket for like .0000000000001% of your daily income.

My guess would be the PSU as well. It could be dead, or not plugged in right, or underpowered. Pulling out the GPU is a great idea. At least if it boots that provides some direction.

I have a malamute, so similar antics. It’s cute- except at 6am for breakfast… and two hours before dinner time…and when it’s time for a walk even when it’s -10 outside.

Not for everyone. But I wouldn’t trade it.

Messages went from $.05, to $.10, to $.20 to send and receive. That was in the span of three years. All of the companies said it wasn’t collision. They just happened to arrive upon massive increases separately.

If I recall, one of the CEOs said “We’re raising the prices to save customers money. This way they’ll be an unlimited plan”

The telcos should have been broken up then. Instead we’ve seen even more mergers.

• Edit: forgot to include the years. This was in the U.S. circa 2005-2008. Telcos have moved onto other sleezy practices now.*

I didn’t count handhelds. Seems like a different-ish market. Interestingly, I thought the game gear was way better than original game boy… Except it absolutely ate batteries.

I’ve never heard of the N64 DD. The 90’s had so many weird consoles.

Seconded.

Dreamcast was solid. Decent games. Sega just had their collective heads up their assess. No one had confidence in their consoles. Genesis was a surprise smash hit…then Sega just spewed out consoles; 32x, Sega CD, mega drive, Saturn… Probably more. In that same time span Nintendo released…N64.

No one wants to buy a console that is outdated in a year or two. That game library is tiny and none of your friends have it.

Build a winner, milk it. Release another winner right as the previous one is winding down. Nintendo has mastered that formula.

Well that’s terrifying… I might watch the show if it ever comes out

Not sure what changes, but it’s scary how much Google controls. Even if we just broke off YouTube from them, that would be a big deal.

Ideally we would split their search engine, YouTube, and chrome each into two competing companies. (Google A, Google B, Chrome A, Chrome B, YouTube A, YouTube B)

Because Google has so much power they can make changes that will break search results, websites, and browsers if you don’t accept changes that are beneficial to them.

Feels like that blatant violation should be prison time for anyone involved.
