Diskmanagement.disenter error 49218
Hello everyone, I'm having a little issue with mounting my external hard drive lately. I've tried quite a few methods in hope of getting it to work again, but so far, no luck. I hope someone can help me solve this issue, or those who have the same problem may also share your insights. My external hard drive was working fine about a week ago. But one day, I ejected the hard drive and the icon disappeared, so I thought it was safe to unplug it. When I did, it said the hard drive was not properly removed. It still works fine when I use it the next day, but the same thing happened. It said the drive was not properly removed after I ejected the drive, waited for the icon to disappear, and then unplugged the drive. After that, it never works again, and the attached images are the info I got when I tried to mount or run first aid on this drive. Please help & thank you in advance! Computer: 27" iMac - MacOS Monterey External Hard Drive: WD_Black 4TB. APFS encrypted

EtreCheck (from Etresoft, Inc)
Hello I've noticed that this product, heavily promoted on the ASC forums for many years, is no longer available from the Apple App Store. Can anyone tell me the reason why the product is no longer supported? Friends have asked me if it is 'safe' to use. Is it? Note to moderator: If I'm asking in the wrong places, please redirect my question. Thank you.

LLVM and Terminal Support on Mac Apple Silicon
My question set is fairly broad, but I can't seem to find any answers anywhere. As a fairly low-level developer, the vast majority of my work is done with Sublime Text, terminal-based compilers, IDEs like Coq's (coq.inria.fr), and code that has to be compiled by terminal. These projects are at the very fabric of what I do, and I fear that Rosetta 2 will be inadequate until LLVM and other systems are updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. Honestly, I can't really afford complex virtualization systems like Parallels or VMWare (not that they help much) and I'd rather not give up MacOS for my Ubuntu desktop. I was raised on MacOS and I can't imagine losing features like scenes or seamless integration with the rest of my electronics. I want to keep my initial post fairly simple and broad, but if anyone has any questions on what I need supported, feel free to ask. I am sure I'm not alone here.
