No, back in those days these were very much hardware/firmware based. It's a decade before the SD standard.

It's also from a period where Windows machines were riddled witb viruses that spread by USB. This prevented your drive from getting infected.

This is probably my favourite metal flashdrive of all time. I had a 1GB of the first generation and then later another usb3 one of 32GB

These days I carry one of these on my keychain.

Surprisingly fast given the size. Will do 300MB/s sequential read. About 90MB/s write

I use medicat/ventoy on it with windows 11 , debian and linux mint ISOs on it.

One of these took me through university in 2002

I really miss the hardware read only switch.

Computer labs did not have front USB back in those days, so we had to choose between floppies or diving under the desks. I was in the diver club.

32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

I would pay a lot of money to see Arnold beat up Elon in a cage match. Despite the age gap, it wont even be close.

Yes, it's in your brain.

It's way past that point long ago.

But shareholders don't understand that, so publishers will continue forcing developers to use it.

Assad is right up there. 500k-600k in the last 10 years in Syria.

That's about the same yearly average as Israel in Gaza (so far) but for 10+ years ongoing.

But I expect the humanitarian crisis to result in the death rate in Gaza to increase unless the US grows a pair.

Does this guy look like a civilized Elon Musk to anyone else?

This is why you should always give your developer "free dev time" where they work on what they feel like, or what they think is important outside of the approved scope.

They have fun and will likely fix something your players will be asking for.

Someone is going to stream that 0.1% run on twitch and market the hell out of your game. Just look at Luality that completed dark souls with a DDR dancepad.

At this point, you should be forcing liquidation and destruction of the entire organization..
