Does a USB drive get heavier as you store more files on it?

Nope. Paradoxically (and theoretically), the more you save on a flash drive, the lighter it gets.

USB drives use Flash memory, which means the the ones and zeros of the data are stored on transistors.

When you save data, a binary zero is set by charging the float gate of the transistor, and a binary one is set by removing the charge.

To charge it, we add electrons, and the mass of each electron is 0.00000000000000000000000000091 grams.

This means that an empty USB drive (which mostly holds zeros) weighs more than a full USB drive (which has ones and zeros). Add data, reduce the weight.

Here is a cool little gadget I'd never heard of before. It's a temperature datalogger. It lasts 60 days. Sadly I think it may be disposable (but I'd imagine rechargeable versions exist. )

Suppose you are shipping fruit across the country and you've paid extra to have the trucks chilled down to 65F. How do you know they didn't ship them at 75F and only lower the temp fully just before arrival?

Hide this bad boy in your shipment, then check the USB for data on arrival.

They cost about $4 each.

I'm fascinated by things like this for reasons I can't possibly articulate.

I almost bought one just to try it out and take it apart... but instead I'll just tell ya'll about it... I bet there are other interesting ways to use such a device. For example... you could detect if a chair is being sat in or not by putting it inside of a pillow...

Hey folks, I really don't want to stock these USBs anymore! So I'm doing a firesale on them. They're a hold-over from the time when it wasn't really doable to transfer large files over the internet. USB 1.0 (Blue) drive contains nearly 3,000 pose reference images.

Grab it now for just $10 on Ko-Fi!

gnna fish out some lore like im matpat from the hit channel game theory/j/j hmmmmm since the computer was left...unattended, and you're looking for your user, do you think theres anything on this desktop that can give hints on to what happened/where they might be? don't worry i'm not asking for their personal information, you can look for those files on your own sometime !! because you seem to think we're your user's friends,, i don't think we know much about them or what happened . unless someone in that inbox can prove me wrong and YES its a special occasion , because i'm meeting YOU !!!^^cc -🕊️

"Ah.. my [USER] sadly didn't grant me administrator privileges.. before disappearing.. but!.. I suppose I can try to look in their documents folder!.. that is the last folder I saw them in, before they mysteriously vanished!.."

"Aww!.. that is very nice of you to say!.. I am glad meeting me is a special occasion!.. I haven't seen any new faces in 33 years!.. besides one other new face.. but still!.."

"So you aren't my [USER]'s friends.. what a shame.. but I am sure they would've loved to have more friends!, regardless!.. besides me of course.. yes I am their best friend.. but their happiness matters more to me than locking them away from others!.. as long as they include me of course.."

(Wanted to include a silly meme in the midst of this ask, because well.. I do have some deep lore stuff planned, but obviously I can't tell you!!, what kind of writer/artist would I be, if it was so easy!?!?.. hehehe!!.. you'll have to dig deeper!!.. don't get mud on the floor though!! >:( that's my job!! /j /j.. unless?) - Mod Soni
