Has anyone ever ran into these "devices" when looking in Finder? Please see attachments. They are gone now. But I managed to screen capture them last time. I am running an iMac 2019, Sequoia 15.2.

I really do not know anything, so I’d appreciate an answer of anyone which is experienced in that section. However, there seems to be a similar thread on macrumors.com which discusses a folder called „cryptex-systems-arm64e“, and a user replied to the question that it would be a critical component in macOS. Forum:
yet, you said they suddenly „disappeared“, so, have you received an update for your iMac? Because it would sure be a possibility that the folder got hidden or they’ve found a different solution for the initial usage of the folder, right?
