its gold... trust me

Ok...

You managed to get your hands on gold and replaced parts of your USB with it... You somehow managed to convince your father to let you do that when you can't convince him to let you install your own OS on your computer (which is a Pentium 3).  Also, you self claimed your were a 16yo.

Also...
1.  Buying a new USB stick would cost you less than getting the gold.
2.  You won't really be able to see that much speed improvements unless the whole path is gold, which it definitely isn't.
3.  5 minutes to do 1GB is fast now?  If you can't hit at least 20MB/s speed (which would let you do 1GB in less than a minute), then the problem is with your flash drive's read/write speeds, or you're on USB1, or you have serious other problems.
4.  I doubt your OS can down your USB copy speeds by as large an amount as you claim (more than 5x compared to normal).  Copying speeds should be mostly hardware dependent.
5.  And even if it is software dependent like you claim, why the hell are you modding the hardware to remedy that?


And in the screenshot, that's not the color of real gold, that's just gold colored paint.  Also, didn't you say you replaced the connectors on the inside with gold?  Yet your screenshot only shows the outside, which is absolutely no different from a standard USB stick...

Fuck man, at least make it believable.




tl;dr.... cool story bro.
