Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space

  SD cards are perfect size. Micro SD feel fragile.

    If you don’t feel like you need to move your feet when you accidentally drop it (to avoid actually toe smack) , it’s too small.

    Agree. Too bad my computers’ built in SD readers never worked, so I have to use a USB stick with SD slot instead

    MemoryStick Pro Duo was far worse. Sony, SanDisk, or PNY… Brand didn’t matter… they’d just split open over time. Thankfully Micro SD to MSPD cards came about.

  Switch cartridges also taste terrible, so simultaneously you need to put them somewhere to be sure you don’t lose them while switching cases AND you don’t want to make the mistake of finding out the hard way because you needed your hands free.

    They taste that way on purpose to stop little kids from putting them in their mouths and potentially choking.

      Oh, I know. I’m not a little kid but I probably shouldn’t put them in my mouth. Honestly, I’d be more worried about my dog.
