So much of our furniture is either figuratively or literally from the streets. It's the only way to live.

Hmm, good point and something I’d never thought of. Would I be at risk just plugging it in but not clicking on any file? That is, just re-formatting it?
A piece of code could be executed before you have a chance to format. They are cheap buy a few.
Okay, thanks.

Or I'll reformat on a university computer. :shifty:

Hello,

Grad students here submit their thesis on a flash drive. They don't get it back. Guess who gets them (triple points if you get it on the first guess)?

The University should supply you with USB's. They're a work requirement.

In the future, I will. But I've used several of them for years.

I wont say the practice of leaving nefarious drives is rampant but it is real, but you can also pick up one that someone unknowingly had that was compromised. The worst stuff is the stuff that isnt obvious. That said its like a lot of things you could do this evey day for the rest of your life and never have a bad one. Like locking your front door, your car, not leaving your wallet on the front porch. Its an easy and inexpensive thing not to do.

Yup, you're right. I only meant that I don't think I need to toss the ones I've been using for years.
