I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn’t give back the USB. 🙁

USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks

They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.

If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.

Back in the day it was a terrible loss though

I wonder if you applied inflation from the time that idiom was first popularized what the modern price would be.

I stopped bothering with sticks the moment you could get 1TB SSDs for less than 100 bucks. They are hardly larger than a stick at this point, and with USB-C 3.2 also pretty damn fast.

Welcome to Wrexham.

Not the kind of guy who’d watch something from a USB. Technically not a co-worker but a former co-worker, because he retired a couple of years ago.

I did this for a coworker not too long ago.

I think it was for Firefly…

They gave the USB drive back too. Win-win

Isn’t that too risky though? That can be an evidence when argued in the court

If your coworkers are the level of douche bag that they might take you to court, then probably don’t even talk about your favorite show with them

It’s not necessarily deliberate. Your coworkers could be distributing the copy to someone else and police’s gonna find out where it comes from

Or from the other side, taking a random ass USB stick from someone you barely know? Nah. Who the hell knows what it could be infested with.
