That is a rad-ical concept - but I'm curie-ous if this relates to Bob? One way or another there could be some fallout from this post

Rad-ical or Rat-ical?

Rat - member of the rodentia family - which includes... gerbils!
It’s always so much funnier after it is explained!

I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

I thought that was the radioactive topic of the day.
ie., germane.
nah, that's reaching.

Is it germane to discuss hydrides of germanium in Germany?

Can the above be best tested by a Gayger Counter?

Hi all, I have about a dozen or more external USB / SATA / SSD drives that I use for my backups. I currently use yellow postits to lable them but obviously they don't last very long - anyone gor any suggestions as to what I could use ? ideally something I can write on and be removable ( keep it clean please  )

White athletic tape and a sharpie?

Depending on how often you'd need to relabel the drives, 3M makes a no-residue duct tape that removes cleanly for up to six months after application.

I permanent mark them with an ID code (using one of these: Brother P-Touch 65 Labelling Machine: Amazon[^] and then record usage / location in a spreadsheet (which one day I'll get round to databasing, but it's a low priority).
Since I also include my USB sticks*, it's just easier as a spreadsheet has more space than a label would.
* Windows recovery, AOMEI restore bootable, Win 10 fresh install bootable, that kind of thing.

I've gone the cheap route with masking/painter's tape and a sharpie. It has suited my needs.

It's less of a joke than you might think. We now use 32GB SanDisk Flash drives as our distribution medium for all software: OS images, products, etc. It's cheaper and faster than burning DVD's and such.
I personally use paper tags just like the one you showed for items I submit to manufacturing. Of course, they turn around and make fancy-schmancy printed tags that the customer sees .

I write the on a square of paper and sellotape the paper, along each edge, to the drive.
This has worked well for me for the past 12 years.

Back in my lab days I used a rapidograph to write on flasks and other things. They're a type of drafting pen and write with india ink.
On glass, although it sticks and is 100% immune to any solvent (even strong acids/bases) once dry (that's why I used it) it can be wiped off.
I wouldn't gurantee removal from a label but you can write directly on the drive's metal. Wipe it off when you want. It must be clean (i.e., wetable, non-greasy)

You can still buy diskette labels (Avery code L7666-25) on Amazon.
Other removable labels (smaller or larger, cheaper or more expensive) may be found there as well.

@SanderRossel I believe you've used them before. Do you know anything that will let me do like Expression<t>.Parse("1 + x"); or similar?
Anyone? Bueller?
Basically, I already have the code to parse C# expressions and turn them into trees. I'd simply have to modify it to make expression trees instead of codedom expression trees.
The question is, am I reinventing the wheel?

Thanks. I may create it anyway since it's not part of microsoft's framework, but it depends if their input language is a C# subset like mine is.

Are you looking for something like that?
var product = CSScript.CreateFunc<int>(@"int Product(int a, int b)
{
return a * b;
}");
int result = product(3, 4);
The solution (cs-script) is based on Roslyn engine.
