Why would they have thermal issues? If anything, they should dissipate heat better than plastic drives.
Or is it that by thermal issues people mean that they get hot to the touch?

I remember having that problem with the original Kingston.
Because I didn’t manually copy large files, I couldn’t say.
If there’s any you’d like me to test this for (except the Samsung Bar, because I’ve given it away) I can do so.

I did see that second one, but I realised it would not fit my criteria for the angle of the hole, so I didn’t get one.

Handy tip. I used to do that too.
Also had a chain between two rings for a bit of a fidget toy 😅.

8GB in 2007?! How much did that cost?
- Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks 3 weeks ago:
It’s about the size of an adult index finger, if that helps.

Fair enough. For what it’s worth, the Corsair GTX has a cap that stays on fairly well.

The sharp parts were on the side you plug into the computer, all the way around the lip but especially the corners.
I used a large steel file, but a smaller diamond file would work too I’m sure.
Simply rub the corners at a 45 degree angle with the file until it no longer hurts to touch. Go slowly and gently so you don’t bend it.

Hard to say. None of them flex much under pressure, but I don’t really want to do a durability test…
- Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks 3 weeks ago:
I just got it, so I couldn’t say. Someone else in these comments said theirs failed too.

You should benchmark it as I have and post your results!

I had that happen with the Kingston at one point in its life. Can’t remember how it happened.
I was lucky and spotted it before I lost it. I super-glued it back in and it works fine!

For me I found that the lack of responsiveness when in the booted environment was problematic. I use stuff like GParted on Linux bootable USBs to manage partitions too.
Writing a new image to the stick was also really slow.
New sticks are £10 for 64GB, so I recommend giving one of the above a try and see if you get a better experience!

You’d be surprised! That old USB key has gone through the washing machine several times by accident and survived.
Also, the gap on a usb stick is pretty small and the pins reach quite deep, so unless you’re dealing with M3’s or smaller I doubt that the screws will end up in there.

I’ll get back to you on that, but just to be clear transphobia on a medical level is more about gaslighting trans people and / or denying them the treatment they need.
The doctor in question could also campaign against allowing trans people to have the procedures they need to help them, or personally deny them a referral.
Wait times for trans-specific procedures can be astronomical compared to other procedures in the same country. Think years in wait time.
I don’t think most trans people complain about doctors mentioning what genitals or conditions they may have in 1-1 conversations.
All of that said, I am not trans myself, so I’m not the right person to ask. It’s best to ask trans people themselves about their experiences in the healthcare industry, but they have unique challenges.
