I usually zero out the disks a few times to make sure they are nice and clean, never know what crap they put in those things

You still use USBs in 2022?

I haven't used USB sticks in over a decade.

You don't need physical storage devices that you control. Trust the cloud, goyim! (((We))) will keep everything safe and accessible for you!

Why do I need cloud storage, again? My desktop computer has all the storage space I could possibly need and then some. I even have 4K movies ILLEGALLY downloaded to watch later as well as several games installed that I play on the weekends. Still a shitload of storage that I see no possible way to ever use up. Anything else I need to transfer between devices (mobile), can be done via bluetooth or direct connections OR using remote control apps from desktop or mobile.

Seriously, try out an app like Teamviewer. Just buy better hard drives and stop using USB sticks. Ensure your Mother Board has bluetooth capability. Discard outdated tech.

Did you REALLY have to strawman me this hard to try and feel better about using USB sticks?

USB sticks are good for things like Vento when you need to liveboot, run memtest, Windows installer DVD to get into a recovery console, etc.

REEEEEEEEEEEE!

You tried to shame others for using portable USB storage devices while simultaneously virtue signaling that you haven't used them for 10 years and provided no information about what you are using instead of them. Don't denigrate people for using a technology that has its uses more than ever before and then get upset when someone calls you out for it.

Teamviewer. KEK! Yeah, that's much better and secure than USB drives! Better hard drives aren't the issue here. Portability is the reason why you use a PORTABLE storage device. Bluetooth for file transfer is like using LapLink over the serial port back in 1993. It's slow and has a lot of limitations that USB drives beat all around. BT is itself becoming outdated tech because the only feature it sort of lived up to from the hype was crappy wireless audio uses. Bluetooth dropped the ball on all the other promises it made so as far as I'm concerned, it's totally obsolete outside of nigger speakers and ear buds. But go ahead and continue to use it to make you feel better about ditching USB storage.
