@nitpicking @JessTheUnstill the good part about #microSD is that it's a super tiny storage media...

Tho ideally I'd disrecommend trafficking storage entirely for health and safety reasons.

  • Unlike drugs swallowed it won't OD but it could create internal injuries!

I literally equipped people for such entries with new gear and completely innocent setups because they could just not enter.

Switch 2: Storage Issues and Backward Compatibility
A little bit more about the Switch 2? Sure why not?

First thing. I've mentioned this on social media, and I want to spread the word as much as I can about it, because this is going to catch people by surprise, and this way as many will find out about it going in as possible. In addition to cost

Agreed. My favourite [1] thing is MicroSD cards, when you try to push them into the spring-loaded receptacles with a fingernail because there's zero clearance, and since you can't be 100% perfectly straight, the card just ... snaps. Let's make the shell out of the crappiest weakest plastic we can find...

A 5-1/4" floppy could practically be folded in half, straightened out, and still be readable.

[1] Not actually favourite.

@noblefeu also das mit Farbe ist ne Frage des Panels.

  • Bei #eInk gibt's nur wenige ACeP panels die 7 Farben können.

Wasserdichtigkeit geht notfalls per Hülle (gibt reputable Hersteller die sogar Druckwasserdichtigkeit für's Tauchen garantieren, brsucht halt buttons)...

  • Mensch muss in jedem Falle bei jedem Hersteller und Gerät einzeln nachfragen, ob diese entsprecjende Features haben.

Sowas wie "#ePub-Dateien ohne #DRM von #microSD lesen und anzeigen" sollte jeder halbwegs taugliche #eReader können. Ansonsten ist es allenfalls nen "#ThinClient für geschlossene Systeme" (vgl. #Amazon #Kindle)!

My son got a GoPro for Christmas. He asked me, "Dad, do you have a #flashcard I can use for my new camera?"

My old 32GB #microSD that I paid over $200 for years ago had errors so I went online to buy a new one:

$39 for 512GB.

I consciously know flash memory #prices halve every year but never in my WILDEST DREAMS did I expect half a TB for the price of a light LA dinner - so small I could accidentally swallow it.

(Note: I still recall being stunned by the 256K RAM chip back in 1982 so...)

#FunFact: Für die Datenmenge, die auf eine daumennagelgroße #MicroSD-Karte mit 1 TByte Speicherkapazität passt, hätte man in den 1980er Jahren fast 6 Millionen #Commodore-#C64-Disketten benötigt. Aufeinander gestapelt wäre der Diskettenturm rund 10 Kilometer hoch gewesen. Hätte man die Disketten in viele kleine Teile zerschnitten, die exakt die Maße einer MicroSD-Karte haben (15x11mm) und hätte man dann diese Teile aufeinander gestapelt, dann wäre dieser Turm rund 1000 Kilometer hoch gewesen. 😮

@dalias @StryderNotavi @gantua given that early versions of the #RaspberryPi could be crashed / kernel panic'd with a xenon flash, I'd not be surprised of that possibility.

  • And given the early versions up to & including #Pi3B are supposed to run off #MicroUSB, sometimes with as little as 500mA ( #Pi0v1.2 ) and maxing out at 2,4A ( #Pi3Bplus ) I'm shure they are at the lower end of tolerance re: SPI bus voltages for #SD / #microSD cards...

Add to that a card that just barely keep up with it and we get those too tight tolerances between the two, so yeah, it all comes together.

  • OFC this is a hardware flaw and not really fixable except with a new board version / swapping certain components.

Personally, I think #SlotMusic is okay and #SlotRadio is gimmicky, but apparently #Techmoan likes it because it's a way to #discover new #music and #artists...

  • It's a shame the latter one is hamfisted with the limitation of no ability to freely choose tracks and/or skipping back.

But then again, 500-1.000 popular tracks for like $40 MSRP (or 4-8¢/track) is a bargain and had they not kneecapped it with #DRM and the limitations, it would've been "cheaper and more convenient than using #BitTorrent"...
