And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 41 points 2 years ago

Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.

The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)

And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!

Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.

Why are both of the USB drives red?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 89 points 2 years ago

You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.

People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".

I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago
[-] kogasa@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

Take the red USB and it always ends with you deep in a forum and the terminal app.

“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

[-] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

That red USB looks exactly like my Linux installer one, recently upgraded to Mint 22!

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
