True. Many people are suspicious of black USB sticks they find somewhere near their office building but that's just racist

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
That's why, when I leave ransom ware outside of offices, I buy the pink ones and put stickers on em.
But I wanna connect to ur filesystem UwU
I put them in my charger to charge them up when i need them.
You can also do some performance-intensive thing on you laptop like () { :|:& };:
Cool CPU benchmark
It's like a tractor pull for your computer.
Doesn't look that performance intensive to me, my phone finished it in no time.

It's the new Emoji feature for your Command Prompt/shell!
I like to warm them up quickly in the microwave.
Or I could put them in this convenient little USB warmer
(for those unaware this is a USB duplicator and Eraser, it duplicates or erases the contents of a USB drive onto the others at the push of a button).
in this house we use iomega zip discs
It has an iso of Hannah Montana Linux on it
I kinda wanna try buying a bunch of virus usb sticks and putting them into important pcs at work. Or leave them lying around the office.
A USB flash drive with viruses on will probably be pretty ineffective; someone would need to run the virus manually without AV picking it up which is pretty unheard of. Plus, any organisation worth it's salt will have a policy that automatically blocks drives that aren't encrypted with a company-issued encryption key.
The real risk is that a device like this can emulate any USB device, including disks, keyboards, monitors, serial devices, etc. So you plug in the key and in a split second it opens a terminal and types a dozen especially tasty commands...
What if it exploits the complex USB stack though?
Actually, you can't put them in the computer where I work. Safety protocols, you can't use any devices except that but you're provided for you by the company
"Can't" or "don't know how"?
No you can't, every device has to be approved by the company, and they need to know exactly what you're using this device for. It's so strict that literally I can't even plug my phone into a computer if I forget to bring my wall plug, in order to charge it I mean.
So what happens to the device if your phone does get plugged in? Firewall at the input?
Physically can't or aren't allowed to? Is there anything actually preventing it other than rules? What happens if you do?
