To the lost and found, that is.

that's not theft, that's you being a retard and losing shit.
>>
I planted an infected flash drive once, the thief got a neat surprise there
>>
>Is there anything lower than this?
Yes, friends who borrow a drive from you so they won't have to download the whole show you just introduced them to. I'm still waiting for my 32GB drive Mike!
>>
>>51316971
I have around 6 of them. Use them for Linux live boot. I got one that had some sluts senior pictures. I fapper hard to them but felt bad after because she was chubby and ugly.

If you left your flash drive on a public computer and I find it, it's finder's keepers.

Flash drives are practically disposable anyway.

I use it for readyboost

$5 buys you an 8GB drive.
Anything you'd be carrying with you isn't anywhere near that size.
>>
>>51316971
How else am I supposed to get USB drives?

Why pay so much for so little? You can get 1TB for 50 USD

It's flash memory and fits on your keyring.
Also, different formfactors have different applications, you fucking sperg.

Btw I've got a 32Gb cruzer glide. Wouldn't suggest anyone to buy it though. It got dust or something inside it during the first month of usage. And everytime I slide it in/out, it makes a gritting noise. I'm never buying a sliding usb again. Sad thing is I got the sliding usb 2.0 one, instead of the non-sliding usb 3.0. While they were the same fucking price (was 4 years ago, and I didn't have any usb 3.0 ports on my pc, but now I have 4 on my laptop and 6 on my desktop), I'm actually planning on buying the first 32gb 3.0 usb stick I see from a reputable brand under €25.

>>51318299
so why are you a pussy and dont ask for it faggot?
>>
>>51318516
why are you mad? all im saying is a small passport external is more bang for the buck
>>
>>51318646
And a bare 4TB internal sata drive is even better value for your money, but you wouldn't carry it around with you.

>>51318677
but a passport is only 4x3 inches
>>
>>51316971
>Is there anything lower than this?
Muh 16GB drive?

Seems like *very* petty theft to me. Not nice, but not a big deal either.

That said, if people are desperate enough in your place to steal shit like this, you may think about whether you can't get out of that hell hole you're living in the medium term.

passport externals are designed to be carried around

I keep text documents and image backups on Google drive. Anyone who carries around a physical USB drive is a subhuman.
>>
I almost failed a class because of this. I always keep one on my key chain, so I cant leave without noticing my USB was left behind.

You might try Amazon, I got a SONY one in the US for 10 bucks a couple weeks back
>>
>>51318892
I'm from Belgium though. No Amazon here. Shipping from UK would make it cost as much as buying from a physical store. Without the advantages of a physical store.

i found some army USB bracelet in the lab, nothing on it. 16 GB drive
>>
i hope you guys don't go sticking foreign flash drives in your machines
>>
>>51319453

you use a virtual machine, dummy. they isolate the USB ports to the VM when you are using it so it cant affect the host
>>
>>51319505
tell that to them, not me
>>
>>51318754
So I should spend more just because it's more convenient, even if I don't need it?

I work at a help desk on a college campus and we identify the lost ones in order to send the students e-mails that they left them. I usually make copies of them before I put them in the lost & found. amd I lower than stealing it?
>>
>>51319624
any good stuff you've found?
>>
>>51319850
unfortunately not a ton. I have found some legally identifying documents, like scans of birth certificates, SS cards, vehicle titles, and the like; I have also found some incriminating videos of like kids smoking weed. the best thing I've found was a short video of a girl posing in front of a mirror, I'm guessing for a guy or something
>>
>>51318892
I got a 32gb USB 3.0 from amazon for like 12 bucks, it broke after a month of use

During highschool I was the librarian aide for two hours because I had excess credits.

The amount of USB that I found and put away was crazy huge. The thing is no one ever came to retrieve them. At the end of the school year the librarian was like take what you want.
