gollark: It's cool how cheap storage devices are, I must say. I can fit several seasons of TV shows, probably tens of movies, or tens of thousands of books on a cheap £8 USB stick.
gollark: There *still* doesn't seem to be a decent solution for one-off-ish file transfer over LANs between devices with different OSes.
gollark: I still have a USB stick around for use as a live USB and file transfer.
gollark: Or possibly 2D AR stuff eventually, if that ever takes off.
gollark: I'm just going to stick with a screen, keyboard and mouse as long as reasonably possible.
