I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it’s been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.

Don’t, you’re making me well up. A while ago my hard drive died and I was looking for a flash drive to live boot. Only one I had was months old. Tried to get a new one, couldn’t. Tried to order online, couldn’t. It’s crazy how hard it is when they used to literally send out the things for free.
to be fair if you don’t have a Ventoy stick with a dozen or so distros and recovery tools by now you deserve to be scrambling for a boot disk
😱 I’d never heard of a Ventoy stick until you mentioned it. Thank you.

To bad there’s no app to turn your phone itself into a live USB, I would have loved that a few months ago
Something like DriveDroid (requires root): https://softwarebakery.com/projects/drivedroid ?

Unfortunately my phone is not rootable (every phone I get from now on I’m gonna do more research on first to make sure I don’t make that mistake again) but otherwise yeah that’s amazing
I feel you so much on this. My previous phone was a Samsung Note 3 and man that thing just kept going. I used about 5 different ROMs on it over the years. But it wasn’t keeping up with apps anymore. Thought I did thorough research when I replaced it with a S9+. Realised too late that some models can’t be rooted and guess what I have? Yep, one of those models 🤦🏻♀️ Now stuck with Samsung crap for the next however many years because I can’t afford to just buy a different phone. Even more so because the screen has cracked twice (fixed first time, can’t afford again). My Note3 got thrown off a 2nd story deck onto concrete twice and abused by my kids and kept on trucking no problem (apart from some scratches and dent to the frame). This S9 feels like it breaks being sneezed at 😞
