Have been running my main box off the same USB for a couple of years without issue. Decided to not boot again after restarting today.. wouldn’t even show up on another machine.
I’ve never had one fail on me so it was a new experience. Didn’t like having to log my box into lime-tech but it seems it was required. At least the license exchange went someone easily and then it decided it had to do a parity check so I’m offline for even longer. Thankfully I had a backup of the USB from only a few days prior.. good lesson right here!
