Could be a power issue. 2.5" hard drives do require some power. Some external drives have two USB one for data and other for extra power.
Maybe one of your laptops isn't supplying enough power or the port is dirty causing resistance and voltage drop. Or it could be something else entirely.
I don't agree with either, tbh. I don't support the latest tweet because I don't believe America needs to "lead the world" in EVs or solar panels, it's American exceptionalist nonsense.
Also, tariffs don't necessarily mean American people pay for it. China doesn't pay for tariffs, obviously. They can sell to other countries or for domestic use instead if Americans don't wish to import their goods.
If the tariffs are imposed along with an increased state role in domestic production of EVs and solar panels, with proper planning like China did, the U.S. could achieve domestic production of the same quality in long run.
But in reality, there won't be any proper planning. The U.S. government is incompetent. So, you'll end up having inferior, overpriced cars.
That was the time when the notion that Hamas would back away from its intent to destroy Israel as long as it accumulates governing and economic assets took root in Israel.
UK sounds desperate for any revenue to show a lower deficit %. It can't increase revenues by raising taxes on the rich so it does silly shit like this.
Pier can't handle shit
