A way to store all your USB Memory Sticks.


Recommended Posts

People are still using USB sticks ?

Is this an advantage instead of an external HDD ?

my mind = blown :s

 USB sticks are still very relevant, if this is what it takes to blow your mind you're in for a few shocks in your life.

Or maybe more . :laugh:

I can't get it ... Why would someone use a storage device [ I assume , with a capacity until 32 GB ] when a portable HDD has already came up with at least 10x more GB ?

My classmates are still acomplished with their 500 GB - 1 TB external HDD's ...

Or maybe more . :laugh:

USB flash drives are way more portable, and some are much faster than your traditional external HDD. Not sure if you're living in 2005, but you can get USB flash drives with large capacities (256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB). They do get expensive at that point. You can get a 128 GB flash drive for around $30+ these days. NAS is the way to go, and cloud storage is popular these days too. I haven't touched my external HDD's in years, they are way more irrelevant than USB flash drives.

Excuse me ?

 

He said, OS installations, PE environments & firmware upgrades.

 

USB sticks are still massively used and very useful. I work in IT and without them moving data around between LAN's/Domains would be a nightmare. No need for huge external HDD's so we stick to 500Gb pen drives. They also come in handy for loads of other things as already mentioned.

A lot of mine have Write protection switches. I won't put any stick in a customer's computer that doesn't have one. Unless i'm booting off a bartPE or linux

They are used a lot in business because they hold like a million office documents.. i know people who have their entire digital life on 4GB usb sticks (i know this because they try to kill themselves after coming to me with a snapped USB connector :laugh: and no additional backups). and they have lots of uses for IT tasks like installing OS and things already mentioned.

 

They fit on keychains, lanyards etc.

Here you go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-PCS-USB-Type-A-Female-4-Pin-PCB-Mount-Socket-Plug-Connector-Right-Angle-New-/161335091163

 

Buy a set of these for $4, expoxy them to a block of wood and you have the same thing,  No need to spend $25 and waste a perfectly good hub.

That's actually not a bad idea.

 

Still don't get why people are making such a big deal over $25.  Some of you guys make it sound like he spent $1000 on it.

That is a very good idea, I may try that.

Just because you don't have a use for a USB drive doesn't mean the other thousands/millions of people shouldn't be using them.

There are a lot of people who won't use them , because those sticks will have a lack of their usable software and hardware , sooner or later [ surely , sooner , rather than later ] .

I had a(n) 8GB USB Stick which worth 10$ and I haven't used it so much but it got burned ... after few months too .

Devices nowadays are designed to be removable.  I think the important thing is that the system isn't reading or writing (especially writing!) anything from the drive at the time it gets unplugged.

 

The stick wasn't used for [ reading / writing ] something on the moment when I plugget it out from PC .

then forget about it.   i have not used the "eject" command of any USB drive since years ago (when my iMac complained a lot)

 

with PC, i never had a issue.

And the USB memory sticks are still fine ?

 

As Jimmy said, forget about it.... 

 

Most USB Sticks are fine these days ...  you don't have to eject it before unplug it.   You can unplug/plug it anytime if you want.

 

I have iMac but it doesn't complain as Jimmy stated.

 

You seem like you worry too much about it.

For me, it's not so much the $25, it's more about wasting the capability of the hub.  Sure you can use it as a hub if you pull out all of the thumb drives but then where do you store them in the mean time?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
