dan 💾@NanoRaptor The micro sd to standard sd card adapters should have always been printed like that ;)

@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] ;)
kabel42@rl_dane @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats you don't need to flip a floppy 3 times until you get the data you wanted?
mirabilos@mirabilos @rl_dane @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats those are nearly sqare, you can flip them in soo many ways and then wonder why they don't fit
@kabel42 @rl_dane @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats … just insert it in the obvious, right direction, which is also shown on the box (and on the sleeve, for 5¼″ floppies)
@mirabilos @kabel42 @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats
Never saw it myself, but I heard stories of people supposedly folding 5 1/4" floppies in half to insert into their new computers with 3 1/2" drives. XD
@rl_dane @kabel42 @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats aieee!
Thank the goddess I started with 9 cm floppies.
@mirabilos @kabel42 @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats
There were 8" / 20cm floppies, too, but I never had one of those.
Saw them in the movie #WarGames, and also saw some in use at my dad's uni back in the early 90s.
zwangseinweisung@rl_dane @mirabilos @kabel42 @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats somewhere in my dungeon, I have a few of them. Just to show off and not actual using
@zwangseinweisung @mirabilos @kabel42 @helle @NanoRaptor @billgoats
I had a single punch card in my possession at some point. I'm bummed I no longer know where it is.
@rl_dane I would place them in a book to avoid bending
