Unplugging USB Sticks Considered Harmful To Children
Today I was sat at the computer with Gedit open with a dozen or so “not saved recently but open” documents that reside on a 1GB USB stick currently plugged into the USB port on the top.
Sophie walks up and pulls the USB stick out. The first I notice is this dialog on my desktop appear:-
I turn to look at Sophie and notice she has my USB stick in her hand. I am about to strenuously inform her of my displeasure when I notice her smile and just ask “Why!?”. She informs me “Daddy, it’s in the wrong slot” and proceeds to plug it into a different USB port.
Everything is of course fine, my documents are all still intact, nothing is lost, panic over.
Note to self: Always plug the stick into the furthest USB port to prevent similar disaster recurring.
