    well technically… USB initialization isn’t that simple, when you change which port it’s plugged into, it’s numerated under that new memory space, so from the computers perspective, it’s a different number, it’s a different device.

      Is that just obfuscated on other platforms (like MacOS)? I don’t think I’ve ever had a Mac get “confused” by a device by changing its port.

        Could be like Linux where a lot of drivers are in the kernel and it doesn’t need to add drivers every time you plug something in
