It's always fine, until it isn't!

Windows is amazing with this.

I've tested it by trying to break a memorystick. Even when I yanked it out while it was writing data to the stick, it still worked exactly as before, only the transferred file was corrupted.

I've tried many different ways short of physically destroying the stick, none of them made the drive corrupted.

And then you have SD cards which are horribly sensible, especially if they have some age on them

Wait is this not the case with other OSs?

Reminds me of a Johnny Bravo episode where he rips off a tag from a mattress that says “do not remove under penalty of law” and then helicopters start coming after him lol

It's worse if you ever try this with a floppy disk in the middle of it being written.

Its all fun and giggles until the hard drive you just loaded all the data and literature for your thesis on got corrupted by the Prof. unplugging it but you cannot tell him he is an idiot with computers.

You can't, but I sure as fuck will

I mean if you don't have backups of that it's on you.

How am i supposed to make a backup of data i just received on a drive that got corrupted?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Well I seem to have misunderstood. Just copy everything again I guess?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

MFW it was a move operation, not a copy 😵

Life is too short to safely remove the USB drive.

That feel when you learned where on the drive that image is and replaced it with Anime.

When I was in highschool we edited that file in the programming lab. Wrote an auto running batch file to replace it when the floppy disk was inserted and managed to sneak the disk into every machine without the teacher noticing. The computers where arranged around three walls of the room, and we knew that his standard procedure at the end of the day was to go to each one and issue the shutdown command, then circle back around to power them down. That afternoon when he turned around he must have been greeted with his own employee ID photo grinning back at him around the room in 16 color bitmap glory.

The next day he sternly waved us over the moment we walked in, then just laughed, said "put it back," and waved us away. He never bothered to even ask how we got ahold of his employee photo from the school network.

It's amazing how much Mike's art has evolved since then.

I, too, like to live dangerously
