With so many failures due to USB issues, it’s hard to accurately assign blame for distributed probes that never come online. To get the 40+ probes I distributed in the Pacific Islands online I sent hosts USB chargers, called and emailed, and reminded until they were plugged in - but then more than half failed.

I had a conversation with a new probe host who was wondering how many of the probes I hand out "walk off" never to be seen again.
Sadly, that's quite a lot of them in my case. I guess I need to find conferences with more reliable attendees?
People promise to plug them in but then they get distracted. Or they move and the probes end up in boxes.
How do other ambassadors twist their hosts' arms into actually plugging in probes? (And keeping them plugged in!)
