Using the “Imagine with Meta AI” tool, we have not found the correct prompts to generate a realistic looking USB flash drive. This is the best we have been able to produce so far. If someone is having success creating an AI version of a USB flash drive, please let us know. (gmo [at] getusb [dot] info)
Encrypting a USB flash drive is quick and easy in Windows 10. The PRO version of Windows 10 will allow anyone to activate Microsoft’s built in bitlocker technology to encrypt an entire flash drive, or part of a USB flash drive.
Microsoft BitLocker is a disk encryption technology designed to enhance data security by encrypting entire disk volumes on Windows operating systems. Introduced with Windows Vista and included in subsequent versions, BitLocker provides a robust defense against unauthorized access and data breaches.
The primary purpose of BitLocker is to protect sensitive data in case a device is lost, stolen, or accessed by an unauthorized user. It uses full-disk encryption to secure the entire contents of a disk, including the operating system, system files, and user data. Even if someone physically removes the hard drive and attempts to access it on another system, the data remains inaccessible without the proper authentication credentials.
BitLocker employs various encryption methods, with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) being a commonly used algorithm.
The encryption process is transparent to the user once configured, and access is granted through authentication methods like PINs and passwords.
Below are nine screen shots and simply follow along in your Windows 10 Pro computer and do what you see below. The process is very easy to do. The longest part of this entire setup is the encryption of the USB stick itself. The time required to encrypt the drive will depend on a couple of factors, such as the GB capacity of the USB drive and the processing power of your computer. In the example below, using a USB 2.0 device with a 16GB capacity the encryption time took only 4 minutes.
This image was created during the early days when ChatGPT first began offering AI image generation. At the time, the novelty alone was enough to spark endless experimentation. One of the first ideas we tried was simple: “What would a superhero USB flash drive look like?” The result was this over-the-top, cinematic scene of a caped hero flying across a city skyline, gripping a USB drive like it contained the world’s most important data.
Early AI image tools were wildly inconsistent. Some prompts produced abstract nonsense, others produced accidental masterpieces. Getting something usable meant testing dozens of variations, tweaking descriptions, changing lighting styles, adding camera angles, and sometimes just getting lucky. That unpredictability was part of the fun. You were not just generating images, you were discovering how the system “thought.”
Looking back, this image represents a moment in time when AI visuals felt new, surprising, and slightly magical. Today, image generation is more refined and controllable, but there was something special about those early experiments where every prompt felt like opening a mystery box.
