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.
And so I remember when I bought my very first USB key, it was a 128MB Memorex. Really made us stood up in the classroom, because I was the only one carrying it, and other classmates were still limited by those 1.44MB floppies at the time. I'm talking Win ME and XP-era, for me probably equivalent past K6 elem and so on. Then a 512MB Creative USB came to my hands *whooo*😗, so I couldn't be happier at that age.

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. That's also why some data backup companies have a container with server racks full of storage a customer can request for transferring their data (usually for the first full backup). IIRC BackBlaze had that.
@@meneldal Look into Amazons issues with moving large amounts of data to worldwide data centres. They had such large amounts of data to move it was much faster to put a couple hundred HDD on a crate and physically fly them across the world than to send it via the internet. This was a famous story a decade or so ago. Might be different now with the increase of internet speeds.
@@meneldal The company I did tech support for did something similar. Each customer had their own ftp server; some servers were locked down so hard (government cutsomers) that it was a real ballsache to get data in or out. At least we could guarantee its safety and integrity.
honestly, $30 for 8kb is kinda the perfect starting point. Enough storage that you can store a decent amount of a data on it if you're JUST using it for it's intended purpose, but cheap enough that it's worth getting, even as a novelty gift or something.

This is one of those golden videos from LTT, informative and filled with stupidly funny skits. Its up there with those videos where they just mess around snd teach people things, like the USB limit. Thats why I love LTT.

I love how much effort you put in to make a rather technical topic interesting to the broad audience in the current UA-cam climate / meta. Super interesting topic and very entertaining to watch.
Linus is a master of his craft. It takes a lot of trial and error to know what will, and what won’t do well on UA-cam. He knows when to use comedic bits to lighten the mood and make them more watchable as entertainment, and when to get serious. Now sure, that might seem kind of obvious when you really think about it, but many other creators miss it. You lose a chunk of your audience as soon as they get bored. What many see as a goofy tech UA-camr is actually a very savvy content creator/entertainer with a whole host of skills that he’s built up over the years.
I've designed products with FRAM chips. They are expensive as hell, but if your margins are not razor thin, they do beat traditional EEPROM or flash for curtain applications. They are also a pleasure to work with.
@@Nik930714 yes, especially for the incredible write endurance, speed and power consumption, great for microcontroller stuff wich need to ensure power loss
Yeah, it’s not new technology. It was actually used in the game boy to store game saves in some cartridges. It definitely has its pros and cons, but it’s definitely nifty technology. If you have something that you really really need to save that isn’t huge, or if it’s going into a device that needs really really low power consumption.
@@r100curtaincall I haven't heard of Game BOy games using FRAM for saves. Most used battery-backed SRAM, but for GBA EEPROMs and Flash were sometimes also used.
Looks like the stick was found, they cut out that part of the video at 9:11 0:15 - 0:22 probably some clues 5:04 Barcode (Thanks Josiah) 5:49 Another barcode 6:03 Number to get Rick Rolled 6:44 Paper has incomplete barcode 7:03 Probably nothing, but note these letters just in case lol Comment if you see anything else, this is just what I found on a quick glance through. Good luck!
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.
For many years, since I learned to use the MSP430 from Texas Instruments, I have been familiar with FRAM. They incorporate FRAM in the MSP430FR series. The MSP430FR2355 LaunchPad features 32 kB of FRAM on the MCU. The chip also includes 4 kB of SRAM, which is faster, but you can partition it and use the FRAM as RAM as needed.
Man at 6:44 thought there was a secret QR code but I couldn't get it to scan, good luck to someone who can because I am at work and don't have enough time
Seen a consumer use of this already actually. The ezflash omega flash cart for the gba uses FE ram to keep your saves safe. Was interesting to learn more about it in this video.
PZT is a commonly used Piezo Material, which is suceptible to electric Fields. So it can be easily deleted by putting the Drive between two Electrodes with a high voltage (about 1-2kV/mm or more) or by heating the chip above the Curie Temperature (somewhere between 160-370°C)
Sounds like a great use case for identification dongles in an office space or hyper-secure environment. Re-usable, difficult to modify, obscure tech is exactly what you want if you want to keep someone out of something.
@@winniethewhor Not really, you want something actually designed for that purpose, like SIM cards, credit cards (chip or nfc), CCID, or FIDO2 key. Pretty much anything that uses cryptography and tamper resistant hardware to protect a secret which never leaves the device (and would be needed to impersonate it).
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
Not to long ago, scientists managed to store data in a diamond for long term storage, at 1.85 terabytes per cubic centimeter. Definitely curious to see what extent they get to.
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 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.
It's worth pointing out, the speed of that memory doesn't matter one bit, when the only way to read or write to it is with a serial UART and a terminal program.

At the extreme end, there’s a USB drive that’s been created as part of an extravagant art piece.

Comment if you see anything else, this is just what I found on a quick glance through. Good luck!
What's up with all this? I noticed a QR code at 5:04
Something at 9:11 just before he cuts to the sponsor
@@abucketofelvesI’m only seeing a cut in the video. Am I missing something?
His voice is reversed or played back at high speed maybe? There's a cut before he says what sounds like "wekeregway" @@CortoVenturesMedia
@@abucketofelves Edit: Looks like they cut out that part of the video. The stick was probably found
Glad for BranchEducation to have a clip featured here. They have such an amazing channel ❤
0:19 loving the oncle jazz album cover 😭
Men I Trust MENTIONED
Yes, great album from great canadian group!
yall are doing oncle jazz dirty 💀
Aff
Seriously.
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.
No! Magic.
You don't actually need to physically stop recording. Just cut the video with software
Nah it is AI
Who's Al@@Henrix1998
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.
Super interesting video, thank you to LTT team for finding out about this! Would have never known about this without this video!
For many years, since I learned to use the MSP430 from Texas Instruments, I have been familiar with FRAM. They incorporate FRAM in the MSP430FR series. The MSP430FR2355 LaunchPad features 32 kB of FRAM on the MCU. The chip also includes 4 kB of SRAM, which is faster, but you can partition it and use the FRAM as RAM as needed.
Is it Linus proof tho?
hey sir sic
@@SirSicCrusader *nothing* is that good 😄
Production quality of this video is brilliant, well done
Man at 6:44 thought there was a secret QR code but I couldn't get it to scan, good luck to someone who can because I am at work and don't have enough time
Yeah there is definitely something there, good catch!
@@rustyshackleford7200 Its 1/4 quadrants. At 5:03, 5:49, 6:44 and one in the outro
Looks like it's apart from 4 different parts? It's definitely a QR code since I got a ss of it
I wonder if the text is just random AI stuff - or a secret computer program :D
It's on Reddit all 4 corners, I found 3 of 4 myself in the video.
Can't figure out what the border is supposed to say.
Seen a consumer use of this already actually. The ezflash omega flash cart for the gba uses FE ram to keep your saves safe. Was interesting to learn more about it in this video.
PZT is a commonly used Piezo Material, which is suceptible to electric Fields. So it can be easily deleted by putting the Drive between two Electrodes with a high voltage (about 1-2kV/mm or more) or by heating the chip above the Curie Temperature (somewhere between 160-370°C)
Sounds like a great use case for identification dongles in an office space or hyper-secure environment. Re-usable, difficult to modify, obscure tech is exactly what you want if you want to keep someone out of something.
@@winniethewhor Not really, you want something actually designed for that purpose, like SIM cards, credit cards (chip or nfc), CCID, or FIDO2 key. Pretty much anything that uses cryptography and tamper resistant hardware to protect a secret which never leaves the device (and would be needed to impersonate it).
security by obscurity is not good practice. Just use already existing and open security keys.
Yeah a simple key and lock will do as well
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
0:20 men i trust mentioned we're so back
Men I Trust album art mentioned as "kids art" xD
0:19 The incredible "Oncle Jazz" album by Men I Trust is no elementary school project... The album art is a creative masterpiece dont disrespect it
thank you editors for giving us frame four of this video
THe editing on that intro was beautiful! Good job editing department!
RAID array with 300 Blaustahl drives to play DOOM when?
8:58 I love when companies put this type of joke onto their websites
This thing better take me out to dinner, tuck me in bed, and solve world hunger for that price...
@@Im-Cyber lol, for 30 bucks?
@@SilkroadAllDay8KB for $30 is really expensive
LTT team should pat themselves on the back. The information, silly jokes, and flow of this vid were all top notch!
The treasure hunt idea is So COOL! Love this channel.
Men I Trust nod. We love Oncle Jazz
Radiation resistent USB? I might need one.
Make sure to get Prime delivery!
0:39 nice magic trick
Some very slick editing on this vid.
The writing on ltt has gotten so good recently. Smooth. Tight. Goes down easy.
1:32 is that where the “felt cute might delete later” community post if from?
Duh
Nop that's from next year's halloween costume try outs.
OMG I REMEMBER
Your a really good detective
Not to long ago, scientists managed to store data in a diamond for long term storage, at 1.85 terabytes per cubic centimeter. Definitely curious to see what extent they get to.
0:18 Men I Trust album cover?? Who's the editor with peak music taste 😩
The interogation was so fun, also, as so many times again such great info for us!
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.
The men i trust, onlce jazz cover LOL 😂
3:21 is it just me, or is he rockin that mullet?
Just you
Just you. Sorry adam
No no, he’s right
Just you 😂 bro needs a hair cut
They got Lieutenant Dangle on LTT? Nice 😊
This is BY FAR my favorite ltt video. Maybe the Yvone amd tech upgrade is a little better, but OMG SUCH AN AMAZING VIDEO
3:43 tbh I was kind of hoping it would go on the entire video, it reminded me a lot of fortnine videos, I'd be interested to see some more videos in a similar style
Men I Trust mentioned
02:46 Linus having "Hard R" flashbacks. 🤣
@@Jonnicom didn’t we all throw the *_RAM_* around a bit when we were young 🤷♂️
This is the drive that action films use to hack government systems lol
I loved this skit. Please make a full-length video like this. Even if it's a new / confirmed dead channel!!
WAN show helped me through the day and this vid is going to help me fall asleep. My family is in rough shape and y’all’s content is exactly what I need right now. So thank you!
3:32 Branch Education is literally the GOAT
💯 agree. Never has a single video helped me understand pc hardware and how it works more than theirs.
0:28 That pronunciation of Blaustahl was... Unique.. In a way that sounded more chinese than german.
1:38 Right meow! Can't believe they didn't go with a super troopers reference 😢
this is so much more interesting than the news on the latest cpu, please do these kinds of videos more !
These skits give off a "Good Eats" vibe and I'm here for it.
Omg the men I trust album cover
1:40 I've gotta say, wasn't expecting LTT to do a police brutality joke
Well, it was an American police so they did their research
Especially for a sponsor spot
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.
Nice Oncle Jazz jumpscare
lovethe quality and kilobits in this video.
It's worth pointing out, the speed of that memory doesn't matter one bit, when the only way to read or write to it is with a serial UART and a terminal program.
@0:19, which editor threw in the Men I Trust - Oncle Jazz album in there? Love you for that! Men I Trust is so good.
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).
USB Drive more than a 4090 is crazy
Real
Nvidia is going to take that personal and jack up the prices of their 50 series cards.
At the extreme end, there’s a USB drive that’s been created as part of an extravagant art piece. Known as the "USB Diamond", this device is covered with diamonds and precious materials and is valued at a staggering $37 million, making it the most expensive USB drive in the world. It’s essentially a work of art, combining technology with opulence.
Man I really love all the skits they put together from time to time, wish they would do it more
2:10 Supper.Trooper?
Where the 1 liter of cola 😂
Or is this a behind the scenes October feast to Weed Feast?
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.
9:05 Did Linus just call me a dense nerd?
I can't lie, I loved the bit and the sponsor segue caught me off guard. Great video!
That's a cool find for someone out there in the area - good luck! I really hope it goes to someone who deserves it. Thanks for the video!
