The best part about this is that the keyboard company likely followed tutorials for building their device drivers and never substituted the default image (which is a fictitious company called Fabrikam):
You probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).
Lol the best part about that is, it spawned from floppy disks. It hasn’t changed. And there’s no official docs on why. Instead search results are literally StackOverflow and forum questions on why it’s not a thing.
Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go
Btrfs with compression can substantially "increase" capacity of your USB stick. IIRC I managed to fit 20-30% more data on 64Gb stick than its maximum capacity!
Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn't a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.
Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.
I can't be certain they mean the filesystem or if she's asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it's external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?
Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.
Yes, I have to use NTFSfix or plug it into a windows laptop, it is very annoying.
But my setup is fairly janky though. I use a external drive on my homeserver as storage drive, and because of torrenting it is almost constantly on read/write. And I use a ubuntu LTS server, so it might not be the most friendly os to use with a NTFS drive. But there is no going back now.
You know this one's dated because I'm pretty sure by today's standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I'd wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.
I have never met a female who seemed to be aware of what really is, at least other than "the part that stores stuff".
I'm not even trying to say I wanna date or be friends with one. That isn't a trait that's necessary at all. I know they exist, I've seen articles written by them and such. But I've never met one familiar with how a computer works at all.
I'd love to meet one just to prove to myself they're real. I want to believe... I mean I already know, but my brain just doesn't believe til it sees anymore.
The D: is a CD-ROM. Geez!
Dang whippersnappers.
Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998
If it makes you feel any better the intern got hired full-time.
And laid off 6 months later
Nothing like the beauty of a toaster icon for a keyboard

No, CD-ROM is
/dev/sr0Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!
(I'm over there too)
Only correct answer, I don't know what this whole letter business is... Dang kids
No, CD-ROM is
/cdromYou probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).
Debian is weird
Thats the dvd rom
I give you an A. A for floppy.
What about the B drive?
5 1/4 big booty drive

Even better, the cable twist to differentiate on the hardware level.
Gottemmm
Omg… it depends on your input port grandpa! Please take your pills your saying that stuff again!
I like my partners like I like my filesystems.
FAT and 32.
Well, I'm glad its 32, and not the ones previous
I like em like I like my encryption. Old and already cracked.
I like them like I like my passwords. Short and insecure.
Your taste in partners is as bad as your taste in filesystems. Who uses FAT32 in 2023? At least use NTFS
Any EFI partition?
Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go
I don't want it portable, I want windows users to lose. I use ext4 on all my usb drives

Like your mom.
I prefer them to be exFAT.
My time to shine.
Old and simple but chance for data loss?
Hmm, that's better fo sho, tho a bit of extra fat don't hurt
My mind immediately went to ext as in ext4 the filesystem
Then u realized why ur still a virgin?
You misspelled Giga-Chad
I'm not because I use btrfs 😎
Yes you are a turbo virgin.
no I am not, I speak fluent Klingon
I wanna see how deep this hole goes.
more usable than esperanto :''(
This thread is fucking hilarious, I can relate to all of it 💀
So virgin that you even deduplicate
As a btrfs user myself…
Yeah that's a fair cop.
To be honest, can relate too.
But who needs a family tree when you can have b-trees instead!
There's only one D I recognize.
Specifically, she wants to mount the D:.
And then you ask for the C: and they block you on tinder.
My aunts friends are so angry sometimes.
She wants the scared and amazed face? I don't get it.
Dick. the Dick. D: is usually where the external hard drive is mounted when you only have a single drive, which is usually C.
And you normally put your dick in the external hard drive?
You don't?
Back in my day D was where your CD-ROM drive was mounted. Ya young whipasnappa.
And A: and B: were your floppy drives!
She wants the sdcard and amazon fare? I dont get it.
I went to the comments to ask if she meant ext3 or ext4 but after a moment I figured it was just external abbreviation.. Made a lot more sense 😅
I don't know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive. Why do you insist on having EXT?
Because ext supports proper access rights from actual operating systems.
I GNU you were gonna say that, sick burn dude
Akshually
NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851

Having a NTFS partition is what's wrong with your hard drive.
Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.
What specifically do you mean by "broke"? File system corruption?
Yes, I have to use NTFSfix or plug it into a windows laptop, it is very annoying.
But my setup is fairly janky though. I use a external drive on my homeserver as storage drive, and because of torrenting it is almost constantly on read/write. And I use a ubuntu LTS server, so it might not be the most friendly os to use with a NTFS drive. But there is no going back now.
Are you using the NTFS3 kernel module instead of the FUSE driver?
I am not really knowledgeable about OS and kernel, I just use the default for ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
nah, D: is obviously your secondary internal drive for storage, because C: is an ssd for performance
she actually wants the E: 🏳️⚧️
She wants my CD-ROM?
She wants the D: but he's just got a 3.5 inch floppy.
This is the real joke
low tier windows users : the D
chad linux enjoyer : Basic Data Partition
If it got BTRFS, then one can simply say "pass me the butter"
This is not innuendo, I literally just want that data storage device, butterface.
She wants the /dev/sdb
Nope, she meant the ext4 drive mounted to
/mnt/homeworkEdit: spelling
My coworker used to ask me this. Like JESUS CHRIST, WE'RE AT WORK, STOP ASKING.
This. When they ask for the D (drive) just shut up and pull the D (drive) out. How hard is that!?
Very hard, but only if I like them already
It’s a micro USB drive, he flashed it and all the cheerleaders giggled
i use btrfs which ext is that
Ext5?
THIS IS JUST A TRIBUTE
(I don't know, you guys said she wants the D)

You know this one's dated because I'm pretty sure by today's standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I'd wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.
Would such an SSD be reliable?
An intel 2TB (which is actually Solidgim) runs under $70. I sure hope it's reliable.
Samsung 970 EVO m.2 SSD for $181, Very high quality, reliable storage device.
That's not under $100 US.
Why would she want the (😮)?
My honest reaction
D:
and that’s how she got pregnant….
I have never met a female who seemed to be aware of what really is, at least other than "the part that stores stuff".
I'm not even trying to say I wanna date or be friends with one. That isn't a trait that's necessary at all. I know they exist, I've seen articles written by them and such. But I've never met one familiar with how a computer works at all.
