I stopped bothering with sticks the moment you could get 1TB SSDs for less than 100 bucks. They are hardly larger than a stick at this point, and with USB-C 3.2 also pretty damn fast.
Which is interesting, because the point of the phrase is to imply something is so commonplace that it practically has no value. It's so commonplace you can get a dozen of them for a dime!
So technically while the relative value of the dime in this phrase decreases, the relative value of the phrase itself increases as the dime's value ever further approaches negligible, ever better emphasizing the point!
If they are going after sneaker net distribution, this is the most inefficient use of resources ever! As a taxpayer I would be outraged to hear about something like this. I can't imagine this being an issue outside of N. Korea
This ties into the comment I was going to make separately. For context, my dad recently passed. First father's day without him. My mom asked to watch a movie that meant something to the both of them because they saw it together in a drive in on release and it was very memorable because the technology and techniques used were fascinating at the time. She complained that it wasn't on Disney+ or anywhere.
You may have guessed it, but she requested Song of the South. One serious moral quandary later, I got it ready for her to watch.
Tomorrow is gonna be rough, but at least my sailing might bring some good memories for her.
