This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Would not recommend plugging USB into a computer with access to anything important to you.

I'm not a privacy nut, but USB should be treated like a sex toy of* unknown origin.

That is very true.

The toy we had was from around 2010, I think that there may have been less risk back then, but your point still stands (PS I was using linux as a desktop)

Was it Arch, btw?

I have tried Arch, btw, but at the time I think I would have been using openSUSE or maybe Gentoo
