I just browsed through the top 100 posts or so here and you guys have amazong stuff that I’ve often didn’t ever seen in my life but nobody has a phone or a USB drive. I feel like this community is from 50 years ago. Or is there an actual reason?
What do you think they take the pictures with?
Ahhh, that’s why you don’t see the USB drive.
I carry one with Ventoy on it with the below ISOs I occasionally use to fix computers. Never used it to transfer files.
- Debian 12 (my daily driver OS)
- Windows 11
- Kali
- Rescatux
- DBAN
Some workplaces don’t allow unknown usb devices to be plugged in to reduce the threat of malware so I don’t keep one on me as an edc but I’ll keep a few at home
@Chev I point out in my posts that a phone, pocket computer, camera, dopamine rectangle, surveillance device, whatever you want to call it, is (a less important) part of my EDC, and I use it to take the photo.
I do actually carry a thumb drive!
Sure, the cloud works, but to me it’s way less clunky to use a thumb drive than upload files over email and download stuff, creating digital clutter. It’s also USB-C+A so I can transfer large files from my pocket computer to backpack computer if needed.The phone is probably because they’re taking a photo with it
USB drive though I’m not sure. I carry one with my keys
You do? Why? I have a usb stick on there, but a drive? That’s on my computer.
I used to carry a bootable USB stick that I used for PC repair stuff. It got screwed up a few years ago and stopped working and I haven’t gotten around to rebuilding it. Haven’t been doing that at my job to really need it as much either.
All my files I need on the go are synced to my phone.
My phone isn’t in a picture because it’s a camera…
And I have usb sticks in my pockets, I’m a teacher.
Literally everyone has a phone, and what the hell is a “usb drive”? I have usb drives on my devices, but I’ve never even owned a dedicated usb drive in my life.
