My problem with Windows is that when I want to eject a USB drive, Windows refuses to do so, refuses to tell me what program is apparently still using the drive, and certainly refuses to kill that program. I am removing the drive. I can't just not remove it!

Okay, yes. This fucking sucks and it happens all the time on Windows.

I've found that in those cases its usually explorer that's the culprit. Just having the removable drive open in explorer is enough to keep windows from being able to unmount the drive.

At that point, you need to live dangerously and just yank it.

The worst part is that with Quick Removal it's pretty much always safe to just remove it

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
