An unusual gift for any occasion. Ready for the FIFA World Cup? What football-themed souvenirs would you buy

Greetings to all beginners and experienced life hackers of this site!
We have an ezine where we write various interesting articles about useful gadgets and unusual concepts. We also look into the future or make the present more interesting, more beautiful and more useful. Read the next ezine article.

Almost everyone has a USB flash drive today. But with all the variety, the range of cases for such devices is rather limited. Why not make a case for the flash drive yourself? It is not as difficult as it seems, you just need to spend quite a bit of time. But you will become the owner of a unique gizmo.

So let's get started! Following the step-by-step instructions, we will make a case for our USB flash drive using Lego bricks.

This is how it will look

Tools and materials
Penknife
Pliers
Multiple Lego Bricks
Super glue
Sandpaper
Metal polish
Flash drive

Step 1. chassis base

Internal elements are broken

USB memory cards come in a variety of sizes. We will be packaging a fairly large board. Therefore, we need a Lego brick with a size of 6 × 3 cylindrical landing elements (let's agree to call them "points").

With a penknife, you need to cut all the inner partitions of the brick, and then break them out with pliers.

We will use two more low-profile bricks with the dimensions 4 × 2 and 2 × 2 “dots” to create the cover. Also, for the cover you will need a low-profile element 1 × 6 "points" (for the cover, you can use other combinations of designer parts, or you can simply take exactly the same brick as for the base of the body (6 × 3) and carefully cut off its upper part with a jigsaw parallel to the horizontal plane).

Using super glue, glue the lid elements together to form a 6 × 3 “dots” piece.

Step 2. Installing the board

PCB in the case

At the end of the case, we cut out a groove for the USB connector, and after a slight adjustment with the help of a penknife, we install the device into the case.

Step 3. Securing the board

Fill the body with silicone

We put brick scraps on the bottom of the case and make sure that the board is parallel to the horizontal plane and does not push through. We fill all the remaining space in the case with transparent silicone, sealing it to reduce the possibility of any movement of the flash card inside the case.

It is important to use transparent silicone, since the indicator LED will have to shine through it.

Step 4. Bonding and polishing

We clean the edges

Polishes of different abrasiveness

So that there are no gaps between the lid and the body, we take sandpaper, put it on a flat surface, and align the lower plane of the lid on it.

After we superglue the lid to the case, use the same sandpaper to remove burrs and glue stains from the side edges of the case.
Then we finally polish the case with polish.

Step 5. Completion

The case is ready

Compare your exclusive and mass consumer goods

Looks stylish!

But this is not the end of the creative possibilities for creating exclusive flash drives. On the contrary, there can be an infinite variety of types of cases for them.
See what other craftsmen have done.

Do you have an original designed USB stick? What ways do you know to customize this mini-media?

In the meantime, there are still some unread curiosities in the mini-journal: a visionary video about the medicine of the future; gadgets - a landline cell phone and a bottle for a tourist to disinfect water. and don't miss anything!

Which is made by hand. You can make it for a loved one.
I propose to knit an original case for an electronic carrier as a gift. In addition to pleasant impressions, a person will receive a useful thing to prevent damage to the flash drive when dropped or exposed to low temperatures.
For work you will need: a flash drive, a ruler, a hook and threads.

In the proposed model, cotton threads "Iris" are used, but if desired and possible, you can use any.
At the beginning of knitting, you should measure the length and width of the flash drive. Tie a chain of 25 air loops, one and a half times longer than the length of the flash drive itself.

Then, without turning the product, we continue to knit the columns in a circle, sticking the hook into the chain's air loops.

In the last loop we knit 3 single crochet. We proceed to the second row without a lifting air loop. Now we knit all the time in a circle without crochet without adding 11-12 rows, so that the flash drive, placed inside, is completely hidden inside.

Thus, a small bag with a height of about 2.5 centimeters is obtained.

We do not tie the connecting row to the end by 2 cm - the distance is equal to the width of the flash drive, so that it can freely enter and exit the case. We pass the thread through the last loop and tighten. We hook the thread inside out, fix and cut the end.

For reliability, I recommend attaching the USB flash drive to the case. So you don't have to worry about losing your scratches and it is comfortable to wear on your arm or neck.
You need to tie the lace. To make it stronger, you need to knit in two threads. To do this, unwind, without tearing from the ball, the thread is four times longer than the required lace. Then knit a chain of air loops of the required length with a double folded thread.

When the lace is ready, we pass it through a special hole on the flash drive.

We turn the cover over to the wrong side and thread the lace through the bottom of the cover with a hook.

Many products are not durable and the flash drive is no exception.

We will consider the most popular programs that YOU can use: The first place among Internet users is occupied by the utility Hetman Partition Recovery. The tool effectively recovers all files in their entirety, even if the file system, boot record or a virus that encrypted the information has been ruined on the flash drive.

On the 2nd place in the rating, the popular program - JetFlash Recovery Tool, capable of quickly and efficiently restoring the operability of not only Transcend USB flash drives, but also JetFlash, as well as A-DATA in the event of their failure. Extremely simple and intuitive operation with two function keys "Start" and "Exit". The third place in our rating is F-Recovery SD- a program that is used to recover microSD.

Many people, when purchasing a flash drive, ask the question why the memory does not match the display in the PC?

In this article, you will receive an answer to a frequently asked question: Why is the memory slightly less than the declared value? It's all about the arithmetic encoding. There are decimal arithmetic and binary arithmetic. So in decimal arithmetic, 1MB = 1000KB, 1GB = 1000MB, but the operating system in our computers uses binary arithmetic, 1MB = 1024KB, 1GB = 1024MB, so the difference between memory capacity and display in a computer is obvious. Below is the difference between memory and how it is displayed on a PC:

4GB = 3.5GB-3.8GB range

8GB = approximately 7.4GB-7.85GB

16GB = 14.2GB-15.8GB range

32GB = 28GB-30 range

GB 64 GB = approximately 58 GB-60 GB

As you can see, the larger the size of the flash drive, the more memory you lose. If on a flash drive with 4 GB of memory you lose about 300 MB, then on a flash drive of 64 GB you will miss 6 GB. The capacity also slightly depends on the file system that is used on the flash drive, it can be (FAT, NTFS), because the system also takes up a certain amount of space on the flash drive. And finally, we advise you to buy a usb flash drive with the amount of memory you need for your purposes.

Silicon Power has released a new storage device - 3 in 1!

Let's figure out what's new on the USB market? And so, one of the news in the world of flash drives was a flash drive with three ports, operating on the following interfaces: USB Type-A (USB3.1 Gen 1), Micro-B (USB2.0), Type-C (USB3.1 Gen 1). Such a universal flash drive allows you to use usb with a regular computer, phone or any gadget with a USB Type-C connector. In addition, the flash drive is covered with a special material that reliably protects it from moisture or dust. Each connector has a durable rubber cap. This usb-drive is small in size and different memory in 32 GB 64 GB and 128 GB. Unfortunately, the creators of the flash drive 3 in one do not report the price.

Did you know What is an otg or otg flash drive?

Many users do not know about such a simple and at the same time functional device as an OTG flash drive. And it, in turn, has the function of not only an information storage device, but also an adapter. The otg flash drive can be connected directly to your phone, tablet and other device that has a usb connector. Now you can easily connect an external drive to the gadget and copy the files you need, watch movies from a flash drive or photos, view documents without leaving your smartphone or tablet.

Did you know that Intel has released a USB AI accelerator?

Intel never ceases to amaze, the other day the company revealed a new product! Now, a compact device in the form of a "flash drive" called the Movidius Neural Compute Stick will serve as an aid to the artificial intelligence of any PC. This device is designed for faster computational flows associated with deep learning of neural networks, it will reduce the threshold for entering the field of development, customization and deployment of artificial intelligence applications.

Such a device costs from $ 79, the body of a compact device is presented in aluminum. Some experts are afraid of such implementations and comprehensions in the topic of artificial intelligence, and this is understandable, because in our world of information technologies, all kinds of programs and developed robots, it is difficult for us people to feel important and human. Therefore, artificial intelligence is great, but a beautiful and easy-to-use flash drive in rhinestones is much more pleasant.

Did you know that it is dangerous to charge your gadget throughusb-port?

Differences between DVD-R and DVD + R?

The DVD-R format, developed by Pioneer, is supported by the DVD Forum. How did DVD + R come about? Quite simply, since the DVD Forum group charged quite a large license fee for the right to use the DVD-R format they developed, in 2002 another Alliance company developed the DVD + R standard.

There is no compatibility between DVD-R (W) and DVD + R (W), but both formats are supported on all modern media. In general, there are no fundamental differences, the only difference is in writing information, not even in reading the disc, so there is no particular difference for users when choosing a drive with - or +.

So, the main differences between DVD-R and DVD + R formats:

1. DVD + R discs are slightly more reliable due to their resistance to external damage.

2. DVD + R format discs have higher information quality and faster speed than DVD-R format.

3. Interrupted recording can occur on both disc formats, but DVD + R has a lower chance of failure.

Thus, both formats work on all modern players, the DVD-R format plays DVD + R mainly in speed and information recording.
In our company you can buy CD + R and DVD + R discs at retail and wholesale.

If you have worn out the body of the flash drive or lost the cap, you can update it using a simple-to-use case "Owl"... You can also tie a new flash drive as an original one. Master Class .

Knitted cover for a flash drive "Owl"

For work you will need:

threads Iris, color "Fuchsia", color "Lilac", yellow, white and black;
hook number 1.5;
loop with carabiner, for keychain, ready-made;
thermo gun with rods.

Description:

Head + body with Lilac threads

1 row - dial 5 air loops + 1 air lifting loop, then in the first loop tie two half-columns with a crochet, from the second to the fifth loops - knit one half-column with a crochet in the corresponding loop of the base, in the fifth loop tie three half-columns with a crochet. Then we knit on the typesetting chain on the other side, making an oval. To the end of the row, knit with half-crochets in each loop, including the tenth (it is the first).

2 row - do not make lifting loops - knit spirally with half-stitches with a crochet, so it will look neater.

Having knitted two or three rows, be sure to try on your flash drive - knitting should not fall off it.

So knit to the length you need, in this example it is 13 rows. Finish knitting like this: when you knit to the "side" of the flash drive, knit four single crochets and three half-columns into the corresponding loops of the base, as if smoothing the spiral.

In the same way, knit the head, only reducing the number of rows to six, and in the last row, with single crochet, connect the "head" with the "body". Before cutting the thread, be sure to check that the head comes off well.

Wings with Fuchsia thread:

1 row - dial a chain of 5 air loops (hereinafter c.p.) + 2 lifting loops;

2nd row - in the first loop, knit two double crochets, from the second loop to the fourth, knit one double crochet, in the corresponding base loop, in the fifth loop, knit seven double crochets. Continue knitting in the same row, making an oval. And so from the sixth to the eighth loops - knit one column with a crochet. In the last loop, in which two columns are already connected, add 4 more double crochets, fasten the row with a connecting loop;

3 row - three air loops, single crochet in each corresponding base loop around the whole circle;

4 row - one single crochet, three air loops and fasten them with a single crochet under an arch of three air loops of the previous row, so knit to the end.

Eyes:

Turn on the hot melt gun to warm up, and in the meantime, with white threads, type a chain of six air loops, close it in a ring, hide the "ponytails" and cut the thread. With black threads, dial a chain of three air loops, also close into a ring, but leave long ends. Insert the black piece into the white "donut" and, holding all the long ends, coat everything with hot hot melt glue. Now you can cut the long ends of the black threads.

Thus, make two eyes.

Beak yellow threads:

Cast on a chain of three chain stitches, two lifting loops and knit unfinished double crochets from all loops, ending them with one loop.

Brushes Fuchsia thread:

Take the connected body to the head, cut about 10 cm of fuchsia thread, fold in half and hook through the head loops, fasten with a knot and trim evenly. Make two tassels.

Now it's time to attach all the details. You can sew them on, but a thermal gun can handle it faster and easier. First glue the beak, then "crawling" on it a little, glue the eyes.

Now turn the owl back and apply glue to the center of the wings and glue them to the body.

Turn the owl "face", glue the wings at the front, hook with the keychain holder and that's it.

The flashy owl is ready!

Now the flash drive has taken on a completely different look. In addition, according to Feng Shui, it is a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, it helps to succeed in studies, and for those who do not study, it helps to manage their lives wisely. So now you also have a good talisman.

Still interesting:
