SleepyCatten<p>Just noticed how the physical size of the memory sticks (aka USB flash drives) we have is inversely proportional to their storage capacity 🤭</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/MemorySticks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MemorySticks</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/FlashDrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlashDrives</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a></p>
Kevin Karhan :verified:<p>Also it's not as if <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Flashdrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Flashdrives</span></a> are expensive...</p><ul><li>Even a reputable brand is cheap if one doesn't need speed or capacity...</li></ul><p><a href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B000WE7XJU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">4GB for €2,57</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0011UD7BW" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">8GB for €3,09</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B001G4QKCG" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">16GB for €3,59</a> and those are like retail prices and not buying a 100-pack in bulk...</p><ul><li>OFC don't buy cheap <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Sticks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sticks</span></a> in bulk, because if you buy cheap no-name crap you get often 10+ year old counterfeilt garbage that doesn't even work half the time new out of the box.</li></ul><p>Ask me how I know...</p>
