Remember When Truth In Advertising Was The Law?

[Axel Slingerland]

You know how when you're watching Tuber videos, they always get interrupted by stupid ads? There's one for a 16Tb USB drive that they claim is for sale for $1,000 on Amazon. I was like "Yeah, right." When you search for stuff on there, the most expensive item pop up first. So I went there and searched for "16Tb USB drive", and what pops up? I don't see any 16Tb USB drives for $1,000. I see this. On the very first page of search results.

SanDisk 16GB Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive​

$14.21

I have lots of Sandisk drives, and I would trust them long before some company I never heard of...

I have no plans (or money) to buy any new PC gear. I was just laughing at the irony of it all.
