    I have broken 4 micro SDs in the last 2 years. Thsnkfully, “broken” means set to read-only mods, so i could recover it. But yeah. I use it a lot.

      This shows just shitty SD cards are for storage that’s used a lot. Even the expensive ones for high intensity use burn out really fast.

      I only recently learned that when they die they (usually) go read-only and you can very easily dd to a new SD and carry-on.

      Would have saved me a lot of headaches over the years.

      And that’s why I stopped giving a shit about SD card slots. I’ve never had a micro SD that didn’t break within a few years at most. It’s annoying and since you have to keep buying new cards it’s not even cheaper than just buying a phone with “enough” storage. I’d rather spend the money up front on a phone with a higher storage tier and have it actually work worry-free for the entire five plus years I’m using it.
