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.

How does Joplin hold up with larger files? I've just been using Google docs, which I don't like for several reasons. One of which, is that it gets really choppy when you hit 100+ pages.

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?

My wife found a giant sectional couch that's in "great condition" at an estate sale. She couldn't believe no one bought it for $900. She bid $500 on the last day of the sale and was shocked she won.

I sincerely doubt anyone else even bid on the thing. People with living rooms that large don't buy used couches. We have a relatively large living room and it still sticks out funny.

My wife is so excited. I don't have the heart to tell her that I hate it. So now I'm out $500, stuck with a behemoth of a couch with worn out cushions, and I have to give away the perfectly nice couch we already have.

So... that's interesting.

This was a sad read. A gambling addict would have at least had a chance to make money. This guy just kept throwing money away other peoples money and never saw any returns.

I can't believe someone at the bank didn't question the strange wire transfers. Or that the guy who told him he was being scammed didn't immediately reach out to the authorities.

Question: Wouldn't the FDIC reimburse most of these people's money?

Every time I read a quote from this idiot it hurts my brain. I could go on about how stop and frisk is a horrible, racist policy that is a violation of basic rights, but just reading anything he says is painful. His speech is so jarring, erratic, and logically flawed. I've listened to average second graders express their thoughts more eloquently than this piece of garbage.

He wants to win. His fragile little ego needs it. He's just too dumb to change strategy.

His backup plan is to overthrow the government.

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.

Everyone laughs like this is obvious, but I really struggle to do this. I'm not sure if it's an ADHD thing, but I just can't make myself go to bed at night. Extremely tired? Nah, I'd better wait until I hit a second wind. There's unimportant stuff I'd rather do.

I still find that insane.

"Russia has been attacking us for 2 years. We're going to attack back." "No, don't do that. That will escalate things." "Oh cool, I guess we'll just keep taking it."

I know our courts are corrupt, but I have to believe there is a virtually zero percent chance Musk wins this. Aside from being idiotic, a win would completely break advertising and business in general.

Musk was always a piece of garbage, but I really believe having a billion+ in wealth breaks your brain. He's just astounded that anyone could cross him and get away with it.
