Did you know that bees are actually allergic to pollen?
They break out in hives.
@variablepulserate Four years ago I bought a Samsung T5 250 GB external SSD with the same two cables you mention. This type was not the fingerprint one that you have.
When first mounted I noticed the device was prone to being too easily disconnected from the MacBook Pro I used it with. Fiddling about revealled one USB-C end of the cable would attach more firmly to the Thunderbolt port than the otherf end would, so i labelled the two ends as Mac & SSD.
Now the security aspects of the drive had to be sorted, On initial connection a small partition was mounted, once its password was entered, that partition would unmount & the larger partition with the rest of the drive would then mount.
This was excessive to my needs, I soon worked out how to set it to forget about the securirt/startup partition.
Then after some months, I reformatted the drive, thus disposing of that partition altoghther.
It doesn’t seem to mind which double-ended USB-C cable is used to connect it, it just works.
@hazardwarning I open the app & import the entire “ExportForDayOne” zip file. This is using the Day One app itself, not a browser extension.

@variablepulserate Got it, thanks. Opened the zip file in a fresh download of DayOne & I can see blog & Social posts.
I have just finished transferring all 46 blog posts I’ve made on this platform into Apple Notes, in a folder named "10C Salvage."
I started with the oldest, copying the relevant text & pasting into a new note each time, then removing the links in the title and posting date, leaving them as text-only.
There were formatting issues, resolved by putting spaces between paragraphs which had been there in the original but lost in the copy/paste process.
@variablepulserate That would require the aquisition of certain cable/adapters which I don’t yet have.
@variablepulserate I have an M1 MacBook Air with the same Thunderbolt port capability as the M2. I can use more than one external display by using a USB-C dock. This one has HDMI, 3 x USB 3.1 ports, Gigabit Ethernet & pass-through PD USB-C. I connect one external monitor to the HDMI port & the other to a USB 2 DisplayLink external video adaptor purchased in 2008 & still able to work with the M1 because the DisplayLink drivers are continually updated.
