Hi, no, but for other usage a broken and/or fraudulent USB stick still might be usable, see https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3 https://github.com/whitslack/flakyflash https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/f3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/f3-qt I installed both (f3 and f3-qt, not flakyflash for the FAT or exFAT workaround), but never used these myself. I filed a pending deletion request against https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/f3-test right now. Regards, Ralf
