Umm, so anyone able to insert a USB-C drive into a USB-C port of a phone is a badass?
Or are you trying to say that the USB-drive in her hand doesn't look exactly like a USB-C, but more like a USB-A drive
, so it won't fit? Well, then the only thing she needs is a USB-OTG cable. It's usually about 10cm long and dirt cheap, available everywhere. Who says she doesn't have one?
God, I'm such a badass!
Inserting USB-drives into phones using USB-OTG since, umm... 2011 or something. And now you actually can get by without a cable.
There were even USB-drives with micro-USB in one end available before the first USB-C phones were. Also directly insertable into phones with a micro-USB port.
I actually thought that the slurping part is kind of badass, but might be possible with a stick with some special hardware (and software, obviously). I'm not one to say that such hardware doesn't exist, because technically it's possible. Still badass, totally.
But she got it from Emilio, so it's likely some (corporate) spy gear, not too fantastic to be believable.
Now thinking about it, the OTG cable may not be the right one with such special hardware, a normal USB cable would likely be the right one for it. You'd need the phone to "think" that it's a computer attached to it, not a drive. My mistake. Not important with the USB-C interface though.
