As always, we Anarchist are the left last stone to make a change

Yeah, fluffy, bushy bicycle
Obviously can’t be a human enemy, must be a puma on the hunt

Interpreted it the same, but I’m coming from C++

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…

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

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

I’m having the perfect T-shirt for him

Btw: I couldn’t upload the picture to Lemmy directly, as it’s probably too large for my instance limits. But I’m not sure which image sharing platform is still ok to use (after imgur) and I’m even more stuck in how to embed the linked image correctly in a comment, besides just linking to it.
What’s the correct way to do this?

Trying to embed the image:

Sounds really cool, but I didn’t understand one bit of it

I was once able to fix a bug in my dream, which actually worked out in real life - although, I needed to jump up to my laptop and hack in the solution, as the dream was fading away

Although can’t really recommend dreaming of work…

Just like your toothbrush and pretty much everything else
This stuff is everywhere…

But yeah, shit stained towels aren’t the way to go. And I sometimes don’t trust how clean I think I am…
