USB Killer... WHY???

Already invented some time ago :), and not only that... http://www.fiftythree.org/etherkiller/

My god, the confetti changed colors!

I miss you videos so much. I was thinking about you everyday. I can't keep watching them all so many times

A colleague once accidentally made a USB killer while attempting to make his own USB OTG cable. Luckily it was his own workstation that he blew up…

9:02 - A while back I took an emergency preparedness course. A firefighter said he was visiting a friend and told him the shelf unit in business could get a citation because it wasn't mounted to the wall for earthquake protection. As a rebuttal, the friend grabbed the shelf unit and tried to shake it. It had a lot of mass, you see, so surely the force of the earthquake wouldn't topple it either. Problem is, he's applying force to see what the displacement would be. Force isn't a good model for an Earthquake. The ground itself is what is moving around. For his shelf unit, the mass of the part of the planet that is moving can just be considered infinite, essentially. Or, to put it another way, the inertia of his shelf unit can be reasonably rounded down to zero. However much the Earth at that point is going to be displaced by the Earthquake, that's how much it can displace the shelf. You take that shelf, plug in the mass of the shelf, and you'll find the force needed to hold that shelf in place. And it's going to be a lot, because again, the mass basically cancels out. That's why you need to use the bracket thing Ikea gives you. And that's also why a bomb (force) is a bad test of earthquake safety (displacement).

Isn't it going to be instademonetized?

Next thing can be etherkiller.

It would increase the cost of the product to you, but guards against something that would only happen on purpose, so why would they?

Dihydrogen Monoxide? More like killer, not diet!

Will you give away some USB killer? Just kidding! :)

I know they say "we don't condone malicious use" for legal reasons but I still can't help but be annoyed by the sheer nerve of these people making such dangerous devices and then saying it's for "testing".

Hey, the computer manufacturer can't build a system protection against this type of killers?

Oh yeah! that too. Well I don't really want to encourage people to make a USB Killer!

This USB killer is something like DVD rewinder ... or diet water, except with this USB thing you can have quite expensive result.

I was hoping it was a click bait video. Maybe in a way it is because you don’t show details and none were practically small enough. Any one with some electronics knowledge from YouTube already probably knows these methods. There is also the bug zapper racket.

I would not be surprised if this becomes a trending video and maybe even #1.
