@NanoRaptor @billgoats those should just be a commercial item, together with microSD cards as well (I know there are stickers, I need to print some)
really wished for a wrigley gum MemoryStick back in the day
the MemoryStick is still my favourite human friendly form factor, thin, but easy to hold and not likely to be lost
I'm sad we never got a truly ubiquitous portable storage format to replace floppy disks.
CD-RW?s and DVD[+-]RW?s (and DVD-RAMs) kinda-sorta did for a while, but they were never as flexible as floppies, zips, or flash drives.
Then flash drives reigned supreme, but using them was always a little awkward, like:
10 ATTEMPT INSERT
20 FLIP DEVICE
30 GOTO 10
...and there never was a standard form factor, nor was there ever the sense of having a "drive" that you plugged into, but just a spare USB port.
I never had an actual memory stick, nor loved the SONY proprietariness and vendor lock-in, but the form factor was quite nice.
I [o]pined on that subject [here] ;)
@rl_dane @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats I don’t trust µSD cards with data. From experience.
Especially when you have to use one of the converters.
CF cards are nice(r).
STOP USING MICRO SD - Data Storage wasn't supposed to be swallowable - What is even the point of having a disk you could hide under a loose fingernail? - With the approximate surface area of, I don't know, a molecule, how in the world is heat supposed to be dissipated?? - Flash media supports incredible storage densities, but that doesn't mean you have to create a storage format that takes up the same volume of a drop of water! - Regular SD was the PERFECT size!! THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS!!!! cc: @amin

There are some full SD cards aimed at photographers that are available still. There's a premium, though.
