I call it a "thumpdrive", which is an amalgamation of "thumbdrive" and "jumpdrive".
One of my coworkers also used to call these a "jumpbox" for some reason.
>>55099134
>jumpbox
>>55099134
Oh, and his reason for calling it that was because back in the day, he used to carry around physical documents and spreadsheets in a shoebox.
When we modernized our workplace, he called it that because it was a small box you'd put (digital) documents into, and it'd jump from computer to computer in the workplace. Thus, a "Jumpbox".
I just call it a USB
>>55099175
Fuck, one more thing. It was annoying to always pronounce it fully as "jumpbox", so he eventually shortened/warped it into something that sounded like "jummox".
"Hey, do you have a jummox I can borrow?"
"Hey, I finished our weeklies. I left them in the jummbox on your desk."
I usually just call it a flash drive or a thumb drive.

- An 8gb drive with a bunch of movies for if I hang out with a friend and we run out of shit to do (most game consoles and some TVs take them)

The day will come when the technology won't be flash, and the port won't be usb.

Do you use it to store PDF files describing the GUI interface used by an ATM machine for processing PIN numbers?
>>55113831
PDF file is proper terminology.
There's no such thing as a "PD file".
>>55113875
also I just realized that the F in PDF doesn't stand for file anyway but if it did, PDF file would still be right.
>>55113875
"PDF file" expands to "portable document file file". Just like GUI interface expands to graphical user interface interface. You don't hear people talking about GU interfaces or PI numbers either.
>>55113895
No, it wouldn't. An ATM machine is a machine, but that doesn't mean "ATM machine" is correct.
>>55113901
>"PDF file" expands to "portable document file file"
No, it doesn't
>>55113901
portable document format.
and even if it did stand for file, it wouldn't matter. GUI is generic terminology. PIN is discreet terminology. A PDF is a type of file, alongside other types of files, and must be described by its full name, while still being refered to as a "file".
>>55098372
Is there any reason to put anything on a thumb drive that requires secure erasure? Never understood people that do this and then proceed to carry all that sensitive shit on their keychain unencrypted or something.
>>55113910
Because the term "machine" doesn't have any relevance in a system.
The term "file" has relevance in a system.
You would refer to a jpg file, an mp3 file, and a pdf file, because that's CONSISTENT IN A SYSTEM.
Which is more important than snarky pedants giggling over "ATM machines".
