Take it to the library and plug it into one of their computers.
Please don't do this. People working at libraries aren't paid enough to deal with that bullshit.
We pxe boot into a custom live diskless distro that reboots after use. The network these live in is hardened.
Don’t enable usb on public computers you are not prepared to protect
I don't. I don't work for a library, but judging from my local library branch, they don't have the funding to retain competent IT staff. This isn't about what they could or should do. It's about not being an asshole to people that are already barely hanging on with what they have.
Am librarian. It’s ok. Nothing is going to sneak out into the wild from that USB. People plug USBs into our computers every day that are probably way worse than anything you pick up on the street.
