June 29, 2024 by Travis Sharrow

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, the choice between Rufus and Yumi has become increasingly critical, especially for those navigating the realm of bootable USB creation. With an array of distinct features and functionalities, the decision ultimately boils down to comprehending the key differences between the two platforms. [...]

In this comprehensive guide, we delve deep into the core disparities of Rufus and Yumi, shedding light on their respective strengths and weaknesses. [...] [T]his exploration promises to equip you with the insights needed to make a confident and effective decision.

Origins And History

Certainly! Rufus and Yumi are two popular software tools used for creating bootable USB drives. Rufus, which stands for Reliable USB Formatting Utility with Source, is an open-source application developed by Pete Batard in 2011.

So after my Emergency Room Surprise Visit when my neck came apart, I'd called the neurosurgery clinic to see if I could get more methylprednisolone (steroid anti-inflammatory, aka. Medrol) to cover the gap until my scheduled appointment. They said that they don't issue prescriptions until they've seen a patient. OK, that's reasonable.

I put up with it for another day, then decided to go into the urgent care facility to see what they had to say, because it's been common (to me, at least) that the NP's will write a single short-term prescription of "benign" meds (things like cyclobenzaprine [Flexeri], diclofenac [heavier-duty NSAID], etc.) until my next scheduled appointment.

When the NP finally came in, they barely glanced at me, and immediately kept asking how much oxycodone I was taking. Odd, I guess the ER doc had written a script for 15 if necessary that I'd forgotten about, and I don't want opioids (and they're going in the med recycling bin at the pharmacy), because that would just be treating a symp

I'm surprised he was streaming with something else. It can be a wicked complicated bit of software, but the defaults are all sane, and it's very user-friendly when you decide that you actually want to record B-frames ever 2 instead of 4 seconds, or whatever else weird corner you end up being very concerned over :) Streaming & recording at the same time is basically what inspired the program in the first place, hence the name.

Frankly, I wouldn't touch anything else, because I don't know what it's doing under the hood. Even if I don't change anything, it's important to know what it's doing, and how.
