They said it would never happen, and they were almost right.
But it's true. GRC and Steve now both have individual Twitter accounts, blogs, and RSS feeds. And it appears to be a good thing.

I think the more eye-opening fact there is that USB drives labeled as 1TB or even 2TB actually only have 64GB of storage inside them, and then some mechanism to intentionally hoodwink the OS into thinking there's more storage. Like, that's an intentional fraud.

This has been happening for YEARS now.. Used to be an Aliexpress thing then it became common on Amazon.
Even worse are FAKE Samsung EVO NVME drives now.
