Using a SD media with its write protect switch enabled (as suggested in one comment) is probably the simplest solution. Resorting to legacy CD or DVD drives is a good band-aid but time consuming. Lifehacker gives some simple tips for end users to avoid these issues. The onus is on the system integrators and the store owners to ensure that these protective features are enabled. We have also provided a secure solution where selective writes are allowed under certain conditions. For ADPC 5, my team developed a patent pending solution to protect USB front ports from doing anything other than transferring pictures from drive to system. In the case of FujiFilm’s ADPC line of kiosks, the USB front port is often disabled to prevent mischief. Truth is I have worked on both FujiFilm and Kodak kiosks in the US and they both have write protect enabled by default. I really like the comment from one Katie – she works for rival Kodak. The customer affected by this issue has posted a blog entry. I know of some kiosks disabling AVS for thumbdrives to save time. It appears to be a costly oversight and it is not clear if it is the store owner or kiosk vendor’s decision to 1) not have write protect feature on and 2) not have anti virus software enabled. It is possible that the kiosk got infected through a prior user’s medium. A FujiFilm kiosk at a BigW store managed to infect a USB thumbdrive with the Trojan.Poison-36 virus. There is a piece of news originating from Australia that underlines the need for write protection in public kiosks. Lessons to be precise – those of Backup and Write-protect.

Forget the fact that he was unable to copy, he lost all the vacation pictures he already had on his media. The company’s CEO proudly carried it around and tried copying personal pictures from the media to his computer. They’re not the most amazing quality, and not the worst either… so when you’re paying 10c a photo, I think you’re onto a good thing.I still remember the time when we delivered the first driver and firmware solution for a photo card reader – Smart Media or SSFDC was the media used. second.Īnd when it comes to cheap and cheerful, and getting the job done, I guess Officeworks wins that spot. So it would be Nushots in number place for quality, and LALALAB. It’s only slightly more expensive than the cheapest options, but definitely wasn’t the most expensive option. I think I’d be able to trust them with printing all my photos and nailing the colours. WHAT’S THE VERDICT? I have to say I love Nushots. The colouring in the photo of Lulu and I is just so spot on, and across all my photos they really just nailed it. The paper itself is thicker, and more beautiful, and the printing is divine. Up until that date I hadn’t printed photos since Lacey was about 8 months, which makes me a really, really, really bad mum but the quality is definitely more improved. The other week I went through all my photos on my computer, of which there are thousands and thousands, and printed them out. ![]()
