    I just realized: you know what would be so cool? If for pin secured USB drive there were multiple file safes. Ie entering one PIN would grant access to a certain group of files, whereas another would lead to a different group. Handy if you want to give certain people access to only specific files (eg a will or handing off some specific files to a colleague without granting them access to everything) but also if you were ever in a situation where you’re forced to unlock the drive, that you can just unlock a certain, non-compromising area of it, making it appear as though you just granted someone access to everything.
  • @danlonick800
    That virtual credit card is a great idea. Handy for things you are not too sure about security on their side.
  • @blakeolson2036
    Instant sub. Straight to the point explains like an adult not trying to sell.
  • @la.flo.w8056
    Just stumbled upon your channel while researching about VPNs. Really like the honest and clear explanations without being like: "It's absolutely stupid to do xyz". You explain things patiently and clearly without judging. That's what I was looking for, just subscribed. Keep it up, man!
  • @AndyKazama2
    I've honestly never thought that public USB charging might be reading data. Personally I never use them, however the USB Data Blocker sounds essential if you do.
  • @ornikel
    really love these short takes that are succinct and are down to the point with really useful tips and advice. I think cybersecurity and privacy should be a life skill just like managing money, organising your time, etc.
  • @leatherindian
    I really like the virtual credit card. I look forward to more information from you.
  • In this day and age, I have to say what you're saying makes a lot of sense to utilize when it comes to securing our money and data. I'm glad I watched your video today. Thanks All Things Secured.
  • @Inkling777
    Instead of that data-only dongle, users might get an inexpensive USB tester. They typically provide a charge-only port like that dongle. But they also provided over-voltage protection and the ability to measure charging current and total charge. The last is handy if you suspect your phone is no longer taking a full charge. They're now coming out with versions for USB-C.
  • @w426a
    The charging usb dongle, a death file, hardware usb, and virtual credit cards. Awesome
  • @4damski
    my new favorite YouTube channel as a it worker and paranoid ex-serviceman
  • Love the gadgets..I’m definitely schooled on safety of credit cards as well .Thank you.
  • Really interesting video! About the data blocker. There are USB cables which split up into three connections (USB-C, micro USB and lightning). These often cannot transfer any data because only the power pins are actually wired up.
  • I already use the first 3 on your list. I don't deal with crypto, but that USB with the keypad for the password on it seems very useful. Thanks.
  • @jellyfish1433
    One thing I like that came stock with my laptop was a slider that covers the camera built into it. It is also red so you can easily tell when the camera is covered up. It’s the little things that count haha
  • The virtual cc is awesome.Didnt know it existed. Especially for subscriptions and this new nasty setting of "auto renewals". They bury the cancel feature to deep, that you cant find it
  • I'd be very curious to know what the internals look like on that Aegis USB drive. The encryption may be solid, but a lot of workarounds for those are found in the hardware, not the software. I dig that you can enter a code to wipe the drive, however.
