  Haha at some point it did matter to regular folks though. I remember in Junior high when I would try to pirate games or software on Windows, I learned the big difference between fat32 and the new filesystem Microsoft released, NTFS because I couldn’t download files larger than 4GB on fat32.

    It’s important if you’re using flash drives although even that’s pretty rare these days. My wife has run into this problem by formatting as NTFS (GUID partition table) when print shops’ terrible machines only support FAT32 and/or MBR partition tables.

    Thankfully our Macs understand NTFS otherwise those formatted drives from her Windows work computer wouldn’t even work at home.

    At that point, were you regular folks though?

      True, I guess not. But piracy was big at that age group because we were kids who didn’t have our own money, so if our parents didn’t buy the games we wanted, people would try to download them instead. So I fell into learning this detail by nessesssity instead of out of pure curiosity or desire to learn more about the computer. I wanted to doenload NWN or whatever game, and fat32 was standing in my way, haha

      FAT32 is still a very common filesystem for flash drives and memory cards because it works on everything. Lots of people are likely to run into the 4GB file size limit.

    I still have a FAT32 external drive that this (very) rarely still bites me 😫 there’s nothing important on it, so I’ve been lazy

  Wait is APFS a new file system than NTFS? Guess I’m too busy on my Tiktoks and Nintendos to keep up to date

      Ah that would explain why I didn’t know. I have next to no experience with Apple devices.

        Look into it, it’s pretty good.

        And Apple updated hundreds of millions of devices to it from an old file system without losing any data. Imagine Microsoft pulling off such a migration. It was silently done in the background with a normal OS update. Really impressive.

    It’s used on popular toys and consumer gadgets. Most well to do tech nerds don’t bother with such riff raff either.

    That kid is never going to figure out if they downloaded the assignment pdf to “Downloads (iPad)” or “Downloads (iCloud)”
