Interesting. They're made by Hershey's in the US, but Nestle everywhere else in the world. I did not know that until now.

Those Epstein files keep popping up in the most unlikely of places.

You will never regret plugging random USB drives into your computer.

Into my computer? Absolutely not. Never EVER.

Into my work computer? Hell yeah, what's life without a little chaos sprinkled in?

You say so, but my IT guy yelled at me for it. You know the whole "it takes three tries" thing? Well, when it still didn't work, I pushed a little harder and now the internet doesn't work any more.

Would it be possible to have something that looks like a thumbdrive but literally just shorts out the computer or would one of those things need to be bigger? 🤔

I'm not worried about viruses. I have nothing sensitive to steal stored on my machine or anything worth saving so I can always wipe the drive. But I would be wary if simply plugging a thing in could fry my PC.

I was overdue for a reminder about this site. In the same spirit "USB Killers" are indeed a thing. One I saw, a while back on Hackaday, was basically a bunch of small surface mount capacitors on a board stuffed in a generic thumb-drive type case.
