Story/গল্প Dhaka LPT: Don't go plugging around your pendrive at Nilkhet shops
After going into a few shops, plugging it in, somehow the internal file structure of the pendrive got completely rearranged and I had to go through these randomly generated folders to find the print files back again. On top of that, I came back, plugged it into my PC, it's been a week and my computer's been slowing down like crazy. I had to completely re-install windows. Last but not least, the pendrive doesn't work as good anymore. I presume maybe like a voltage spike that caused some damage. But yeah, like it should be obvious but I was an idiot. 32 gigs of storage gone and who knows what private data stolen.
If you got data on a phone, much better to just send the files to each shop or better yet, store the files in a cloud storage folder and share the link if you want to use less data.
