Find a USB stick in the parking lot? Don't plug it into your PC and probably destroy it with fire.
Find a USB stick while digging in the park? Plug that baby in, jam to some Back to Black, and watch some vintage porn.
Some VMs are created only to be burned.
I chuckled. You could also plug it into a system win only a Linux live dvd, no storage, no speakers.
Safer from malware, but not safe from usb “pranks.” I doubt anyone is leaving a port killer out, but getting your port gunked up, or partly disassembled via locks is a thing.
Disposability is worth considering as well
So are hubs and extensions.
No speakers? How will you and your archeologist friends hear the porn?
Return the speakers once you determine safety.
headphones
Some used PCs with no disks are bought only to be booted into a live Linux distro and then some time later resold in the same condition.
USB killer
USB Kill Shield
A female to A male adapter with a replaceable fuse? Sounds like a hundred-dollar idea!
There's always a bigge USB killer
But what if I have a USB Kill Shield Kill Shied Kill Shield
🤔
What are you talking about? I've stux every parking lot USB drive I've ever found into my pc and I've net to have a problem
It burns when I pee, just from reading this
I see what you done there… well played.
Nah use a vm on a computer which you dont care about
May i suggest a library pc?
