They bought a few thousand of them 6 years ago preloaded with software for windows and mac. It's easier to buy new flash drives then go back and install updated software on every individual one.

DEADDROPS

It's a novel way of fire sharing where you attach an USB drive somewhere and pin it on a map.

Just find a nook or cranny put the USB stick on it and secure it with cement

Make trojan
Fill usbs with slutty pics from the same girl to encourage exploration of the drive
Plug usbs into random computers or leave them lying around in covfeve shops
Use botnet to mine btc

Put viruses on them and drop them at various places throughout the city and see what happens.

Install every Linux OS then any other OS and paint the matching logo on them

Even disregarding the possibility of NSA-tier exploits, or pajeet-tier exploits, the possibility of getting 200+V to the port and ending up with a dead PC is very real.

Could use a couple of them as live usbs for any distros you'd like to try out. I've got some old 4GB ones that I put Tails and Slitaz on.

I like the concept of making every one a different OS.

different music genres, i was thinking of getting my toddler nephew a bunch of microSD in different colors so she can listen to beatles or kenny g, or instrumental stuff without having to use the tiny vfd display on the headphones i gave her.

so something similar you can do with 40 flashs, attach a tag to each in big letters with artist or genre, so your grandmother can just plug it on her usb radio, you know she just doesnt use it because she can never find what she wants on 64GB sdcard you put there when you gifted her the radio.

also make several rescue bootcds and give to normies

>>60877472
Don't do this, idiots like my dad always fall for it and then blame me when the files get corrupted.

Put different bootable os on each one with label Kali partedmagic etx

>>60876182
Well, technically Macs are immune so I guess you could access one that way. Though nothing would save you if someone had hooked the "dead drop" to mains power.

Also those USB killers are expensive and I imagine that after one person's device was ruined they just take a hammer to the "dead drop"

DON'T DO THIS.
It literally gave me AIDS.

The website told me there was one planted under a sort of cement bench, so I reached underneath with my hand to locate it and instead I got stung by a syringe needle, which, a few months later I discovered was infected by HIV.
I still technically don't have AIDS, but it's likely that my HIV infection will give it to me sooner or later.

Never again.

RAID5 them on 3x chink 13 port usb hubs (they're like $8/pcs).

>>60879056
If there is 200 V going through the USB port the laptop will be a smoking brick in a fracture of a second, whether it's MacBook or not.

>>60876863
Do this and put other portable software, get a coat and sew on pockets for them. Now you go around flashing people with USB sticks

>>60875509

>>60880393
This story is probably older than you

Raid 0

Flash RAID
Flash JBOD
Either are fun ideas.

Even more so if you experiment with turning a USB hub in to a hardware RAID-ish dealio.
It wouldn't be exact, though. You'd need to mirror all writes to all drives, and concat reads from all drives so that if one fails, the majority average will still result in a correct read.
Dealing with failures would be an task for you to learn.
Also dealing with re-imaging a new drive.
So you would need to do the writes and reads in such a way that you can still interact with a single drive in the event you need to check state or re-image.

Porn. Put porn on them. Then abandon the pornography on a park bench for some kiddies to find.

Also, use a few for booting various operating systems.

>>60876180

>>60876182
This.

Although I'd be lying if I said it's not tempting. There's 10 that's a walking distance away from me.

I'd probably drop some files for myself though. Sounds like an interesting experiment.

>ReadyBoost is a bad meme

Except it isn't. The difference is noticeable with computer with low RAM, especially it was with vista/7 computers with 1-2 GB RAM.

Get a USB hub and run raid on it.

Shock images, I guess.
I found some furry porn on my friend's SD card when I was hacking his 3DS for him. He must've known I would check his images. What a trickster!

>>60886304

that hasnt been true for a couple decades anon, usb exploits included, if thats why you bot a fagbookpro.
its was only something ppl used to say in early 90s because no one had macs, or at least outside the usa, maybe because windows was even shittier but still...

>>60876004
>40 port

Is there even such a thing?

>>60886304
post the pics

>>60882736
if dead drop is a passive storage, couldnt you just plug a led or a piece of steeel wool to see if its electrified?

... btw, shouldnt deaddrops be SDcard instead?
or microSD to allow any sort of pocket arm computer to use it with some flatcable extender to the microsd port, and laptop could use such a cable attached to a SDcard inside the laptop slot

>>60885895
usb sticks were slow as shit at the time, slower than hard drives, that was before SSDs

>>60882811
>limited to single link speed
not if raid was done on the hub, a single link usb2 is 40mbytes/s, generic flash write ~= 5mb/s, it could work

(that pic is probably just a hub ofc)

>>60886677
Doesn't usb-killer take energy from the laptop to charge itself, and then unloads everything at once?

It doesn't really emit power if there isn't a device to charge it beforehand.

Lol make a huge raid

>>60875567
Link?

>>60886633
Maybe I'll upload then somewhere and link to it when I can, if the thread is still up
I still have that SD card because he wanted me to upgrade the SD's size, I never wiped it because who uses SD cards
