With AI data centers swallowing up every bit of memory storage around, it should come as no surprise that some creative engineers might be looking at alternatives. Most aren't going to be considering solutions from the 1950/1960s, of course, but that's precisely what one self-professed tinkerer did to create the "world's worst USB device".
Tech YouTuber polymatt recently posted a video of the reasoning, technology, and construction of the aforementioned device, and it's well worth watching, even if you have no interest in something that can only store 64 bits of information. The reason why is that instead of using modern storage techniques, the storage medium of choice is magnetic-core memory.
