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 has that button, but only if you right-click the drive in file explorer and select "eject". The dialog is very similar, but has the option to continue anyways. That option doesn't appear when ejecting from the taskbar.

Which is weird, because it means that Microsoft went out of their way to make two different, almost identical dialogs. And they made the better one harder to reach.

This is why nobody likes computer nerds.

Puns? Puns are why nobody likes nerds? Of all the things to complain about in the world, puns are such an issue for non-nerds?

Weakness, get gud scrubs.
