What to do with old USB memory sticks
I've about a dozen spare, from 2GB up to 64GB. They all work and I could do without them cluttering up a drawer.
Are they useful to anyone, it seems a shame to bin them.

Load em up with Stuxnet and leave em outside uranium enrichment buildings with "Porn" written on em with a Sharpie?

I'll post them to you, you're closer than I am to where that can be done.

As a geeky time wasting exercise, I saw a few years ago where someone set a load up as a sort of RAID storage ... thing.
Even bland can be a type of character

Shit, yeah. I'm a lot closer.cheb wrote: Mon Mar 29, 2021 9:24 pm I'll post them to you, you're closer than I am to where that can be done.
Maybe don't do that then, I've gone off the idea of Stuxnet USB sticks in the Selafield contractor carpark.

Re: What to do with old USB memory sticks
I have a few myself and tbh I'm of the thinking that they are basically old tech now and therefore pretty much useless/ worthless ?!

Anyone want them before I bin them? I'll have wiped them first.

Re: What to do with old USB memory sticks
I'm surprised that they're considered "old tech". Maybe the 2GB ones are considered too small these days, but surely not the larger 64GB ones?
I'd take them off your hands if I was nearer.

Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.
