It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

I kinda want to buy a pack of like 50 10gb usbs for this sort of thing, but then I don't trust the sellers not to put malware on them (or make them so shoddily that they may as well be malware).

wat dis?

I want to try out a bunch of different Linux distros, and usually I put a distro on a usb so I can try it for a bit (vs using a container or vm because I like to check it'll work with my hardware). So I could do with more usbs. But I like my usbs to be made by reliable manufacturers so I'm not plugging something sus in my computer; I don't trust buying cheapest off Amazon. It's prolly fine but.

What's the problem there? Sorry, this dan is as tech illiterate as they come and would like to know better.

More trustworthy manufacturers = more expensive usbs. There are v cheap ones on amazon, but I don't want to buy myself a virus (see: https://www.techradar.com/news/hackers-are-mailing-out-usb-drives-infected-with-ransomware ). So I'm stuck paying a bit more.
