    Find a USB stick in the parking lot? Don’t plug it into your PC and probably destroy it with fire.

    Find a USB stick while digging in the park? Plug that baby in, jam to some Back to Black, and watch some vintage porn.

        I chuckled. You could also plug it into a system win only a Linux live dvd, no storage, no speakers.

          Safer from malware, but not safe from usb “pranks.” I doubt anyone is leaving a port killer out, but getting your port gunked up, or partly disassembled via locks is a thing.

          Disposability is worth considering as well

            Return the speakers once you determine safety.

        Some used PCs with no disks are bought only to be booted into a live Linux distro and then some time later resold in the same condition.
