Just check it with lsusb on Linux and you'll see the device and vendor id stays the same, independent of the port - else no udev rules would work

Don't know though what ever the fuck windows is doing...

Ouch

I still don't get how people like to but have physical buttons in a car.
I do have most things at physical buttons and even the little stuff I need to do at the main screen is getting on my nerves, because I need to hit the correct space on the screen while driving (like confirming something or cancelling a route or something)
And even that feels like a major safety issue

Can't understand how people drive a Tesla, where even the speed of their windshield wipers are to be found somewhere in a sub menu

It would be such a great thing, when those imperialistic bigots start a war and just nobody shows up, because nobody wants to fight for their cause (pumping up their wallet)

Sadly, I'm afraid, too many people will fall for pseudo ideological bullshit and when a country gets attacked, obviously many people will want to defend it

But one can dream...

That's because some program still accesses it

Could be just your file browser ("explorer") that has a window open with the content of that device, or maybe some program has a hiccup and didn't free it's file pointer

Usually you have a vendor and a device id to identify the connected device on the bus

You're right though, that in every different port it will get its own memory allocated an so on (at least I also believe that), but that's no reason to not identify the already known device

So just like Musk and even Trump, as he isn't a real native?

I say, deport them!!
Although I'm not sure who would want those fucking wankers

Hopefully this is separated from typical software and can't be just changed remotely

Usually the hardware has some low level safety guards, and aren't just done in high level software

Yeah, shorting the cells does that

Yeah, I do get, that this is a reasonable easy enough thing to do

The first result I get from your link is a bash script, that wouldn't do this stuff automatically.

So I would be interested where you got this extension installed and in what parts of the system it is actually working.

So does this work as well, wenn die rename a file in a shell?
Which I would find rather strange, tbh, but would be interested, how that is implemented

As extension of a file browser, I do get that this could be quite popular.

Could you just try that one case out?

Hm...ok, never heard of that - at least not without extra programs

Does that also work from the terminal or only inside your file browser?

Because, as said, Linux usually doesn't care that much about suffixes, but much more about the file type in the file header.
At least that's my experience and what I've read.

But thanks for the info.
Not sure, if I'd like to have it though or rather not ;⁠-⁠)

Edit: and out of interest, what happens, when you rename it to something "near" like an svg or pdf, or something completely different like a mp3 - or interesting would also be a video format, if you only get a single frame then
Thanks, I've never heard of that and would really like to know what does it and how it's coping with things, that aren't compatible - or are harder to convert

Thank you very much!

Thanks, maybe it's my client that's limited.

But, Ehm ... Regarding the Linux part:
Just renaming a file shouldn't convert it to something else - at least Linux isn't doing that, especially as it doesn't cares that much about file suffixes.
So what do you mean, that automatically converts it?
If you rename something in the terminal, it just gets a different name (which includes the suffix), but that won't change anything in the data

What do I miss here?

Thanks for the pixelfed hint, I just signed up while posting, to have an alternative in the future :⁠-⁠) And especially thanks for the Lemmy markdown formatting to embed an image!
That one was the thing, I was looking for!

Edit: and worked perfectly fine the embed the image from postimg - you just need to use the direct image link
At least it shows fine in the comment on my side now
