For me I found that the lack of responsiveness when in the booted environment was problematic. I use stuff like GParted on Linux bootable USBs to manage partitions too.
Writing a new image to the stick was also really slow.
New sticks are £10 for 64GB, so I recommend giving one of the above a try and see if you get a better experience!
You'd be surprised! That old USB key has gone through the washing machine several times by accident and survived.
Also, the gap on a usb stick is pretty small and the pins reach quite deep, so unless you're dealing with M3's or smaller I doubt that the screws will end up in there.
108cm is squarely within the range of dwarfism so, as a minority, I wouldn't be surprised if the data the user is searching for is scarce or missing altogether.
Hence the result pictured.
That said, the person searching this could have just made a typo for 180cm, which is much more common.
This prompted me to move away from Authy, and looking it up, it doesn't allow you to export your TOTP tokens. There were some workarounds but then have been plugged, I tried.
Mostly switched over to Bitwarden's equivalent. I've been using their password manager for many many years now and am very happy with it. They have an export feature in a few different formats.
I had that happen with the Kingston at one point in its life. Can't remember how it happened.
I was lucky and spotted it before I lost it. I super-glued it back in and it works fine!
