Remember kids, don't ever plug something in to your computer that you don't trust or are unsure about. Picking up flashdrive off the street and plugging them in is one of the easiest ways to get malware installed on your computer.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 76 points 1 year ago

That's why I take mine in to work to plug in.

[-] thirdmouse@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 year ago

to a coworker's laptop.

Gotta test it on the expendable company network before you take it home.

Theres also usb drives that are designed to short circuit your computer. Frying the motherboard.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

USB Killers are expensive though. No one's intentionally ditching those for randos to find

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

Are they? I thought they were basically just a few capacitors hooked up wrong to a USB port.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Capacitors alone are not enough.

It’s also the easiest way to distribute malware

Let's hope these don't carry Linux ISOs, which would be a very problematic drug to deal with.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I carried a USB stick with a Linux ISO once and my object in life has been to dethrone God and destroy capitalism ever since.

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

I agree with your purposes. Good luck, fellow lemmer.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I always just hand out slips of paper with the BlueRay encryption key 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

[-] Cicraft@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

I might be dumb but how many books would 64gbs mean

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Not dumb to ask

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

More than have been banned, I think.

[-] DancingIsForbidden@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Have a couple old pirated e-textbooks as .pdf files on my PC from uni, several hundred pages with color images, and they are mostly under 50MB, averaging about 30MB. 1GB is a little over a thousand MB (1024) so 1 would maybe hold a bit under 50 or so each? So times 64 that, a hell of a lot. Several thousand total, at least, as size varies.

Mein Kandy!!

[-] BlackXanthus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I would be very interested in the list of banned books, and how it would be curated.

For 64gb, you might have to extend the years to be: banned books ever, and then break down that list by reason. Just to fill space you'd end up including dubious books, and you'd need to be clear on where/who/why a book got banned.

A book being 'banned' from a pre-school for being 'not age appropriate' by some pointless helicopter parent wouldn't count unless the book was actually age appropriate.

Then you would need a category of 'banned by author banned'(or similar). Books that were considered age appropriate at the time, but now definitely aren't. I'm thinking here of the recent removal/editing of Dr Seuss books to remove problematic racial stereotype. Not necessarily banned in their original form, perhaps, but still censored (perhaps, rightly so for the target age).

64GB is a lot of books. You would end up even including 'The tale of (Darth) Pelagius'

(Pelagius was considered a heretic in the early years of the church, and his writings were banned)

As long as they're not books on kinky sex that you share with kids because you're pure evil, I support you.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My mother was a women's studies major and we literally had an entire bookshelf of material about sex and sexuality growing up. It's weird how I had literally no interest in it prior to a certain biological epoch, at which point it became an extremely useful tool for independent learning.

Weird how now I am a well adjusted adult who has a healthy relationship with my own sexuality as well as my partners' and I haven't ever raped anyone even a little bit!

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I care - thanks for sharing a snippet about you growing up. I was also indifferent to my father's porn stash i found in my parents closet. Until, out of nowhere ...
