agree?
who asked for this?
they're way too small to be convenient. hard to eject from poo poo, easily misplaced. SD cards might be a bit too big, sure, but how about a medium sized SD card (medSD?).

please keep all discussion on SD cards itt

I realize now I posted a multimediacard but they are closely related to the sd card and therefore relevant

these I am comfortable with using. however, most stuff require the puny microSD ones (oof).

scifi always thought we'd get these things so cheap that people would just throw em around everywhere to give data to other people

instead we gotta fumble around slowly uploading that poo poo to google and then sending the share link in a message and then getting told it's saying access denied so hold on gotta share the whole folder, did you get the invite email, cmon man i can't make it visible to the whole internet, ok fine tell me when you download it and i'll make it private again

it’s a million times easier to just use BitTorrent to send someone under the age of 38 a large file.

you can buy 1gb thumb drives for like $2 each, but that's about the price floor. If you go down to 128mb it's still like $1.80 or so.

It does seem like you should be able to buy a bunch of 128mb thumb drives for like a quarter each but i guess thats not ram pricing works.
