today I learned that we (as a civilization) now can put 16 silicon flash dice into a single 700µm microSD card on a commercial scale https://www.ose.com.tw/en/ic-services/memory-product-package/microsdsd

if you think that the precariously balanced tower of flash above is an inaccurate representation of what's going on, i can reassure you that
(a) this is exactly how it looks like, and
(b) SK Hynix is up to 24 layers already (not sure in what application)

"Mom, can we have vias?"
"No, we have vias at home."
vias at home: jumper-ridden DIY PCBs.

This SD card is the semiconductor version of it, without TSV.
