KDE (and possibly my system?) suddenly sees flash drive as hard drive

I haven't updated or changed my system in any way (or even installed any packages) before this weird issue started happening. Now, when I plug in a flash drive or SD card, it doesn't show up in KDE's USB device list. It does show up on Dolphin, but as a "Hard Drive", and I have to enter my password to mount it (even though my PolcyKit settings for mounting media still say No to requiring authentication), and rather than being able to properly eject it, I can only unmount it as if it were an actual hard drive. It mounts in the usual place (a serial-named folder in /run/media/<username>/) once I enter my password, and I can make changes to it and everything without using root or sudo. dmesg refers to it as an "SCSI removable disk".
