I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

Windows dialogue about failing to eject an USB drive, because an application is using it. Aside of "OK", a new button says "Well why don't you tell them to fuck off♪~"

Alright, so others went over the "easy" way to see which program is being the offender. But I feel like the average Lemmy user just skips GUI at this point.
Say hello to KDE:

KDE also does automatic fsck before mounting, which is why it may take some 2 seconds to mount a drive.

HDDs it properly spins down and unpowers as well.
