@cstross@Menhit For strange reasons of symmetry I just dropped a 256GB USB stick and a USB-C adaptor into a bucket full of dirty water.
We don’t have a cat and I had no tea, so I had to improvise with what I had at hand / in the bathroom
I rinsed them in IPA and now they are drying in Silica Gel.
I don’t really like this new fad but I guess the ice bucket challenge was worse.
