This is so crazy. My best friend bought the very first usb flash drive ("Disk On Key"). They came in 4mb and 8mb variants. This was 2001. 8kb is crazy.
I had an 8-meg USB drive which I used long after it became obsolete - it was the best way to turn in assignments during high-school because there's _no_ incentive to "lose" my flash drive. Plus, I didn't have to label mine with a Sharpie because it was big, chunky, said "8MB" on it, and literally no one else in class had one like it. I've long since lost the thing, but it was really cool when you consider the computers of the time when it was the big new thing - 3.5 inch drives were still in common-enough use that everyone I knew still had a stack of 1.44 MB disks just laying around. Less than 10 years later, people had 8 _GB_ USB drives just laying around.
He is wearing his Sponsor. He seems to be shilling for Airestech. A anti RF scam device that sells for $240 dollars. He's been wearing it for several videos now.
People interested in this USB drive might know what is inside it (eg the RP2040 controller, as shown in the video) which you won't find in a traditional USB drive
I've watched LTT for a long time... and let me just say, this was one of the BEST, most informative, well scripted, well edited, all around fantastic videos they have ever produced... 10/10.
I worked corporate. They drilled into us that if you ship a USB drive with unreleased stuff on it, consider how much that IP is worth. That data can make a USB flash drive worth millions.
I'm surprised they ship data that way. My company does special private ftp servers (different one for each customer), and only a few people have access on each side.
@@meneldal Depending on the speed it might be just _a lot_ better to physically send a device with the data on it.

How he did it the transition. 0:40 1: Linus stayed in a set position (Eyes closed, hand in a fist, except the fist has some wiggle room.) 2:Swapped that usb via palm with the NVMe drive. 3 New cut farther away and added blur for a sense of movement. Camera Cuts 1: Start recording) Set zoom, (Linus stayed still.) 2: Stop recording) replace usb stick with NVMe 3: Zoom out, then start recording.
True, no starting and stopping recording, except maybe for different takes to see if others would match up better. Also, I don't think there was actual camera zoom, just digital cropping and fake motion blur used to hide the jump cut.
I thought it was a joke about the story AOC made up about her J6 experience. The story did not hold water and involved a police officer bursting into her office yelling "where is she" very much like Linus did.
Really enjoyed the cop/lawyer segment! :) I love how much more entertaining it was, while still presenting the information in a familiar, easy to understand manner.
I really can't put into words how much i love this channel. The amount of love and effort you guys put into production, jokes, memes, and actual information. It's been great watching you for years, have learned quite a lot. And that ratcheting screwdriver is pretty rad 👌.

@@winniethewhor Not really, you want something actually designed for that purpose, like SIM cards, credit cards (chip or nfc), CCID, or FIDO2 key.

Nope, you can easily read the data on the chip with a regular spi flash programmer or even replace the firmware of the microcontroller to make it a malicious usb device

PuTTY's "Software caused connection abort" dialog
That transition from the USB drive to a SSD in Linus's hand was so smooth!
So glad to be alive. Non volatile, as fast as RAM and reliable as hell.
The men i trust, onlce jazz cover LOL 😂
Men I Trust nod. We love Oncle Jazz
8:30 what was that
They have two drives. The one they had opened was plugged into the PC, and he removed it to show it to the camera.
The Austin Powers reference at 1:26 is beautiful.
Best part. He said "kilobit", and Linus said "get out". Laughed my a$$ off
They got Lieutenant Dangle on LTT? Nice 😊
10:19 who has the remote
1:38 Right meow! Can't believe they didn't go with a super troopers reference 😢
I do like the idea of history's most important data being on something that could last that long. Like an ancient archive.
I recently deleted all my UA-cam history and am slowly rewiring the algorithm to recommend almost exclusively ltt stuff
Nice Oncle Jazz jumpscare
2:10 Supper.Trooper?
Where the 1 liter of cola 😂
Or is this a behind the scenes October feast to Weed Feast?
The lice hate the sugar.
2:20 jujustu Kaisen reference
Super interesting video, thank you to LTT team for finding out about this! Would have never known about this without this video!
The level of production for a mixed metaphor. Love it
6:03 The rick roll phone number haha
@namesmel7296 at work so I couldn't finish the song. Was you able to? Does it loop or secret message at the end?
@@sarajackson5795 doesnt loop and no clue, it just ends the call at the end of the song
parts of qr code at 5:03, 5:44 and 6:44 (flash on paper), hope it'll help someone looking for the geocache lol
could be other stuff as part of folder names when screens are shown but idk
5:12 wonder what that watermark on the top right is all about.
Edit: It's part of a qr code, there is another part on the paper at 6:45
@@KozmoPoly where's it lead to?
I found 3 but the last one evades me
1st one at 5:04, continuing with 5:43, and 6:45, last one at the outro at 10:30. good luck all to geocach hunters
edit: I already decode the qr code, but unfortunately that where my fun ends coz im not a US residence lol
@@ihsanqazws1iq LTT are in Canada (Surrey, British Columbia).
I love how they put the price of the USB drive as 3'800'000$ in the thumbnail, only to then then reveal that it costs 30$
Dude this video might be one of the best LTT has put out ever
5:03 weird watermark :)
looks like some arg or else
@@wileysneak definitely a clue
again 6:45 in the paper
Anyone figured out what it is yet my ADHD immediately noticed it
@@adriaanserrao2016 its 4 quadrants of a QR code with an URL leading to some image.
Okay how does the Sheriff costume have anything to do with this? I need to know. SHOW ME LINUS!
The stick must be near a police station!
what is that weird drawing on the top right side at 5:03
edit : now i know, but i have no idea how to "decipher" them
geocache hint
also there is a qr-code
Part of a QR code
One at 10:30
5:04 5:43 6:45 and 10:30
@@Loup_Garou Yeah i got the whole QR code
but i couldn't make out anything from the text
Man I really love all the skits they put together from time to time, wish they would do it more
this is so much more interesting than the news on the latest cpu, please do these kinds of videos more !
6:44 QR code on paper🤨
I can't even get a usable frame :/
Caught the frame. It’s incomplete lol
At the very end of the video talk about it. A scavenger hunt as you will. Clearly I am a nerd who watched to the end.
I had a feeling the last corner was there. I scrubbed through video at 2x speed, flashes briefly and easier to mix at 2x speed! Good eyes!
Men I trust mentioned
ONCLE JAZZ
Don't throw shade on men i trust like that
Oncle jazz and so many of their music are amazing.
@@shararrahmansiddiqui6631 i listen to their entire discography multiple times a week, it's insane
If I had a child and they brought home oncle jazz as an elementary school project I'd make sure TV knew about how talented they were.
I love that Linus made a geocache with an actual prize. Hopefully it is just a link to the website and a cheap flash drive so people aren't incentivized to take it. Geocachers are chill and can be trusted. Hopefully the audience can be also.
