I'm aware of those scams, but that isn't what the article talks about:
This report doesn't even touch on the plague of USB sticks that falsely claim to have several hundred gigabytes of capacity but only have perhaps as little as 16GB or even 8GB.

The company says that in its business, it's finding more and more devices with cut-down memory chips with manufacturer names removed
Removing the identification from the top of ICs isn't that uncommon
Clearly discarded and unrecognizable microSD cards are also soldered onto a USB stick and managed with the external one on the USB stick board instead of the microSD's internal controller
This makes sense, the memory controller on uSD card doesn't normally do wear levelling and stuff that a larger flash drive does.
These chips are not completely broken, but CBL notes they come with reduced storage capacity, implying that reducing capacity was how they were salvaged.
Isn't disabling bad blocks of memory chips and selling them at the lower capacity pretty common?
Depends if they make me look hot tbh
The eternal September.

That was kind of your job m8
Pretty sure revanced has a download option too.
Is this guy a boomer or a zoomer? It sure seems like he doesn’t know that what made Napster great wasn’t really the downloading so much as how it facilitated discovering new music.
Like most journalists, probably a millennial former spoiled rich kid.
Thanks for that, although the lack of an ETA is disappointing.
Google has elected to wait for Apple to roll out that feature on iPhones before enabling the tracking device support on Android.
Letting your main competitor decide when you can launch a product sounds absolutely moronic.
I get the idea, but Apple had no such qualms about android users being stalked when they launched airtags.
Considering the almost weekly top secret document leaks on the war thunder forum, that wouldn't be surprising if it was real.
Is that a new euphemism for medical cannabis?
