[atlas] atlas probe down : ID 35603

Hi Philip, 

Now I tried a third USB memory stick. It has 8GB and it seems working.
When I check https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/35603/#tab-network it says connected for more then one hour. 
So it should be OK for the future ? What do you think ? 

> ... Unfortunately we are out of hardware probes due to Corona 

Just in case it would die completely, do you think you will get some in the future or will it go into soft probe only ? 


Kind regards 
Hans

Hi,

I never tried a bigger USB stick. But I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. If the probe gives 'NO-USB' even with a known good USB stick then it best to assume that the probe is broken. Unfortuantely we are out of hardware probes due to Corona. So in that case, it is best to replace the probe with a software probe.
