Someone created something. Its value greatly exceeds the perceived "degradation of the environment" of a spelling mistake. Not acknowledging that says more about the pedant than the creator.

No one else is going to mention that "separation" was misspelled four times?

If we can all hear the tiny violin, who cares?

Available on Amazon. Usually zero reviews. But there is that screenshot circling around of a 1-star review based on someone attempting to and failing to put out a campfire.

If you rely on these and you end up dying, you can make a personal application for a full refund.

If you're including micro SD cards, there's literally one on my phone right now. And optical discs remain good for watching movies, although I agree they're on the decline everywhere else. The rest I haven't seen in forever.

I was not including SDXC or even SHDC cards, only SD. I am trying to find a maximum capacity SD card to use in a Palm T|X, either 1 or 2 GB. Back when SDHC first came out, I often ran into issues with 2 GB SDHC cards not working on older devices. I think being difficult to find is another criteria to qualify as obsolete.

The odd thing about high capacity SD cards in general is that they are generally used as fixed storage. I have a 256 GB card that I put into a 11" laptop when I bought it and I haven't seen it since. I haven't used a CF or SD card like a floppy since storage hit 4 GB.

I agree that I spoke too hastily about optical media. Even modern gaming consoles have optical drives.

Next up is optical discs and early flash memory variants such as Sony Memory Sticks, MMCs, xDs, and SD cards.

When is the last time you used one of these formats?

You can't demand people send you cash from around the world as ransom for the computers you took over.

The media is the message. Criminals don't launder bitcoin at non-profitable nail salons either.

I was staying at a hobby farm and I was on the second floor in the loo when I noticed a shadow from above. It was a peacock looking at me through the skylight. They are evil evil birds.

No, issuing a DMCA claim does not invalidate former claims. The system always works the way a rational human would expect.

"The system always works the way a rational human would expect."

We all wish, we all wish.

The RIAA will have to create a takedown notice to takedown their takedown notice, invalidating the former takedown notice?
