Thank you so much for pointing that out! As the author of the original, it's irksome to see kudos (and revenue) go to outlets that re-re-report a story.

Ok, we've changed to that original URL from https://boingboing.net/2018/05/10/ibm-bans-usb-sd-cards-flas.... Thanks!

Gosh, thanks! Certainly didn't expect the change or want to be seen as asking for it. But it's lovely that you did it so thanks!

We much prefer to have original sources. This is in the site guidelines actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

I emailed hn@ycombinator.com to ask the admins to fix this.
