i got a 3d model of myself made at a 3d scanning company booth a few years back and they gave me the file on a flash drive. i plugged it into my computer and it was a 32mb drive. i would have thought that a drive that small would be more expensive because who the gently caress is still making 32mb flash chips?

meanwhile the local dev conference gave out 8gb retractable drives with a bottle opener. considering their target was web devs and windows devs it makes sense

retractable usb drives are stupid as hell because after the mechanism starts to wear the plug slides back into the housing when you try to insert it.

I’ve been using a swag retractable badge holder for years. Nice and sturdy. The company logo has long since worn off, so I’m not sure they came out ahead on that one.

I conference I went to had a vendor that gave out camera covers as part of their swag, and another one gave a retractable usb charger that gave a usb-c, apple, and micro-usb triple ended cable. Also it's bright pink. That was alright swag.

My old old boss won a laser printer in a conference but he traded it for a loving sweet as hell remote control tank that someone else won as another prize for the entire year following the conference (before the next one) whenever someone asked him anything about the conference in any capacity, he would tell the tank story
