Steve's also come across non scam flash drives that just aren't very good quality.

I tend to buy good sticks, but some stick I have are pretty old so I tested them all.

They are all over Amazon. Usually silly shit like a 6TB USB SSD for $30. People have bought them knowing they were scams, cracking them open on YouTube, and finding nothing inside but a 64GB SD card connected to a USB card reader, with the firmware hacked to make the card look like a 6TB drive.

I have gone totally OCD, replacing all the haphazard belts with a more organized system, and labeling and color coding everything so I can figure out what's what if I return to the game later when 1.0 is released, which will ...

I am actually surprised Microsoft allowed the loophole to use Win7 keys for so long. FYI: It still does work with any existing builds of Win 10 & 11 up to 22H2. It just won't work on any future builds. So you could still install 22H2, use a Win7 key to activate, and then upgrade to the latest bu...
