- Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks 3 weeks ago:
Pro tip from me (a pro): Never buy flash drives that aren’t one metal body. I have broke a 128GB flash drive simply by putting a tad bit too much pressure on it and misaligning the USB connector. It now doesn’t work. I also injured one by misaligning the usb in the plastic case. It still works but isn’t ideal.
Even if it is one plastic body, the plastic will chip away with insertions. My SanDisk Ultra Dual is in rough shape because of the weak plastic. Meanwhile my metal SanDisk Ultra Dual Luxe (the metal variant) is still pristine.
Also, don’t buy cheap flash drives if you wish to use them frequently. They have terribly slow speeds even if they use a USB 3.0 interface. They might work okay as install media which you only need to use every few months or years, but they have painfully slow write speeds.

and the students graduating college now weren’t alive for 9/11.
Aw man that sucks. Every kid should get to experience the wonderful 9/11. Truly a shame they can’t anymore.

I remember one time in school this kid came across the Zombo website and kept asking everyone “what is zombo com??” unironically. I just said “it’s zombo com”

- Comment on Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face. 3 months ago:
I’ve never posted any pictures of my face online. But I’m sure many data brokers have them. And some family members many years ago I’m sure posted some.

they will endlessly scroll algorithmic ai-generated incomprehensible horrors on Tiktok
How is that much different from scrolling Lemmy? They are both social media
