Oh hey, it's this guy, the one that thinks flipping the switch logo upside down makes it "parody" and the RF shield "is Nintendo trying to hide its secret chips." He's great at making consoles look like knockoff Intel NUCs.
Snarkiness aside, I don't hate this one, but there are two glaring issues with his approach: First, he's created an incidental hinge at the screen. Without a cart behind it, even the pressure in your pocket will bend and break the line between PCB and screen. Second, it's too darn thin. That thing looks painful to use for more than, well, a YouTube video's length.
Like most of his projects, it's a good showpiece, but it doesn't stand up to real world use. His fascination is in design, not use, of his mods.
It seems like people are completely missing the point: almost nobody cares that it's USB. That's actually not that bad of an idea and most people are for it.
However, these are the cheapest, least reliable mass produced flash drives on Earth, and that's not an exaggeration. For the price LRG charges, they must have made a seriously amazing profit margin.
If you bought this, image the drive ASAP as if it's the last time it'll ever read, because it might be the last.
