spoilerDifferent types of computer drives: floppy, flash, zip, and then thumb was another name for a USB drive

[–] mr_satan@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oooh… It flew over my head completely, but I doubt I would've been tricked.

πŸŸ₯I somehow searched for disk as in floppy disk and found nothing that fit with that. The sus thing about this herring is that only zip is not a physical drive and thumb with flash would refer to the same thing while others don't.

spoilerThe thumb and flash being similar is a clue that it probably isn't the category, although flash drives are more generally any type of drive with flash memory that connects through USB, and thumb drives are mostly referring to those small USB sticks. But zip is a physical drive (a separate thing from a zip file). It was only around for a few years in a sort of awkward limbo between floppies and CDs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_drive
