I'm beginning to suspect that the recent election results can be explained by one word: Entropy
If you can stomach the consequences..
It's a lofty sentiment, but I don't agree.
I think that in the future generative A.I. will be seen like the Turbo Button, Desktop Publishing Revolution and Information Superhighway of their day, ideas that over promised, under delivered and faded into obscurity. I suspect that Block Chain and Crypto Currencies will go the same way for similar reasons as outlined below.
Machine Learning is a useful tool to automatically generate a model for a multivariate system where traditional modelling is too complex or time consuming.
Generative models are attempting to take that to a whole new level but I don't believe that it's either sustainable nor living up to the hype generated by breathless reporting by ignorant journalists who cannot distinguish advanced technology from magic.
It's not sustainable for a range of reasons. The most obvious is that the process universally disintegrates when it ingests content generated by the same process.
Furthermore, it doesn't learn, specifically, the model doesn't change until a new version is released, so it doesn't gather new models whilst it's being used.
And finally, it requires obscene amounts of energy to actually work and with the exponential growth of models, this is only going to get worse.

Make sure that it's the one you think it is.
Also, how did you "remove" it? Just yank the cable, or something a little more refined like unmount or eject?
Hey, I resemble that remark!
My semi-immutable OS is based around a Debian installation where every application is installed in a separate Docker container.
When you launch the application, it volume mounts an appropriate directory that contains only the data related to that application.
Chrome for example launches with a single subdirectory inside ~/Downloads, so each instance can only see its own directory.
I can also test compilation of random repositories inside a container, without affecting the underlying OS.
The OS itself has only got a minimal Debian and Docker installed.
Been using it for several years. I can't recall when I last rebooted it.
Manufacturer warranty?
In Australia an ISP went to extreme lengths to have a ruling, spending four years in litigation:

If you think that will protect you, there is a lot for you to learn..
It is. It was started after my observation here.
A foundation that's looking for donations should be showing exactly how it's spending money. As one comment in the thread points out, the current reporting falls well short of the UK minimum reporting requirements.
No doubt these requirements vary from country to country, but having to guess where the money is going is never a good sign.

The question is even more fraught than you might have considered.
What if you report them to your rideshare company and they do nothing?
As a passenger of a private vehicle where you observe or experience dangerous behaviour, are you required or obligated to report the behaviour to the police?
What if that driver came to collect your teenage child?
I don't envy your situation, but their income is not your responsibility, your personal safety is.
