You can just ask random people for quests!

I went to a pub and asked this guy if he had any missions for me. He turned to me with a serious look, said and I quote: "I need you to recover an 8GB white Toshiba flash drive I lost around here yesterday. It has some valuable information, but it's encrypted, so dont go snooping in. If you find it for me. I'll make it worth your while."

And you feel like youre in a stalker game because it was realeased at a time when 8gb thumb drives were still a thing?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They still are??? Tons of people still use them

I‘d like to meet the people that use 8GB thumb drives in 2023. All 3 of them actually.

I use 8gb thumb drives! They're what's in my miscellaneous drawer and I haven't needed a larger one

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The guy above you was obviously being disingenuous. I use 8gb thumb drives to organise my jobs and hobbies. All the work I need for Job A is on Drive A etc.

So there's got to be at least ten of us. Maybe even twenty!!

You can get a bunch of fairly reliable 8GBs cheap from the right places, I use them for boot media or installers or "man it'd be really nice to move a file from here to there without much thought" scenarios

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hello I am using them! Well actually I don't even have bigger than a 4GB. But mostly I use my big box of 508MB usb sticks they do their job fine because rarely I need to transfer something that needs to be together so I just use like 3 or four when I am lazy.

I still use 8gig, but for work. If I'm giving this away with three docs on it, I'm buying them in bulk and trying to get them cheap
