I have an older cheapo digital camera which I completely forgot about. I recently found it while looking for something else. on it are pics from the early 2000s of ski trips to Europe, and a trip to Italy. I wouldn't mind grabbing a few pictures off the card. I have the battery charger and everything still works. I seem to have lost the data transfer cable. any other way to get the pics off the memory card, I cant seem to find a cable on amazon or fleabay. well I find them listed but not available. its a Nikon Coolpix 4300. help a brudder out mofosos

What kind of memory card?

Remove the card from the camera. Get a USB memory card reader off Amazon. Is it an SD card? There should be hundreds of USB card readers to choose from.

Send it to Nox. He’ll NSA that mofo. You’ll get the pics, where and what time they were taken, and who is in the pics.

If you only knew the truth behind that. Ever heard of Geofencing? There is software that knows when you have taken a picture of certain installations and posted them anywhere on the ‘net. The software then begins to actively ping your phone and follows your movements until they shut it off.

I’ve known people who have taken pictures of certain places thinking it would be cool to post to Instagram and Twitter. Every picture they took and their movement was tracked after that point...

So it’s a CF card.. plenty of USB readers exist. My Nikon uses Compact Flash. I use a USB reader, no cable.

And getting more powerful all the time. That's why I go out of my way to change the dynamics of my face on a regular basis, to "stay under the radar". In another 10 years, my face will look like a big glob of reddish pink pudding with no discernable features at all. Let's see them figure out who I am then, ****ers!

I figure as much with cameras everywhere. when people do really bad stuff they seem to find them too quickly. thankfully for me, I live a boring, lawful life, so it doesn't bother me much.

I didn’t mean that as a joke.

It’s possible you have an old laptop or printer that has that slot but a USB adapter is about $6.

In the 2000s that would have been a CompactFLASH.
