This seems more like an average surface temperature than an average temperature of all the molecules comprising earth

Have you tried an enclosure for the drive with its own dedicated power source?

My suspicion is that upon the PD renegotiation, your drive is temporarily losing power. Whether this is expected or USB-compliant behavior, I don't know. But if that is the problem, I'd think using a separately powered enclosure might solve it.

On the other hand, maybe the (internal to hub) data hub IC is resetting the data line upon PD renegotiation. That seems contrary to the intent of USB and I'd suspect violates the USB standard.

Source: I've designed some USB PD power systems but not delved into the details of how data is handled

I was about to ask if, since you're "extremely worried" about this (seemingly esoteric) potentially unconstitutional move, how you cope with the rest of the world.

Then I saw the second paragraph and it seems that you don't.

What pays for the elder care without that wealth?

I imagine something like colonal cavitation. Little sonic booms of intestine collapsing on itself. Probably not healthy

But I'm super risk tolerant

Can you quantify? If the market tanks 30% next year and then stays flat until the end of your 2-3 year timeframe, what's the plan? Will you be OK with that plan?

If that scenario bothers you, or you think it can't happen, maybe reconsider whether you are really as risk tolerant as you think you are.
