tbf, finding your product still working after the implosion is already amazing publicity

“and you can buy that exact SD card model for the low, low price of $62.99 on Amazon!!!”
That might not be the weirdest, most awkward product placement I ever saw, but close.

The SD card was from inside a titanium cased underwater camera that was mounted outside the hull. It wasn’t actually in the implosion, it just survived the shockwave (which was probably 1000s of Gs, so still impressive)

funny how you downplay it all the way till the end, and anything surviving 1000s of Gs is incredibly impressive.

Well, it’s an order of magnitude less force than the “server room” experienced, considering the whole rack of computers was compressed into a solid mass.
SanDisk SD cards are actually rated for up to 500Gs, and with how light the SD card is, it can survive these indirect impacts more easily. “1000s of Gs” is just a completely random estimate considering how some of the other heavier internal camera parts were damaged (a circuit board connector sheared off).

I will never buy another Sandisk product. They are as unreliable as cheap microcenter flash drives now. I’ve been burned too many times, and couple of those time were literal burns too!

Ads are getting insane. Youtuber making skits in the middle of their video to promote some garbageis dystopian as fuck to me. Mentioning product and where to buy it to what price, what is this shit, war of the worlds?

It’s all about conditioning people to accept having shit shoved in their face.
