    That’s a “terminally online” thing to say. No one in the real world is out there putting movies on thumb drives.

      That’s literally how I have transferred files for more than two decades at this point. Once CDs and DVDs all but disappeared, I’m not sure of another way to bring a movie/show, that I can guarantee to get to work on their equipment.

      Most people aren’t putting them on thumb drives, they’re receiving them on thumb drives and being told to use VLC to play it. Though tv shows are more common than movies in my experience.

      Wouldn’t terminally online people use streaming services? I’ll enjoy my offline thumbdrive/media server 😉

      I feel like the average person is terminally online (Instagram, tiktok, etc). What does that term even mean anymore?
