this was more relevant when my phone had a microSD slot. Having 128 GBs of space in that thing was liberating, like, I could just slap hackers.mkv on there and not even notice it

my new phone doesn't have a microSD slot but 128 GB of fast internal storage so I'm okay with that tradeoff

I'd absolutely sign up for a subscription box that just mails whatever large fast microSDs are cheap at the time to me every quarter or so

or y'know, I could put a significant part of the PS1 library into my xStation but that'd be ridiculous

hm, there's a 400GB card on sale for 35€ but I really don't have a use for that unless I really don't wanna delete anything off my Switch ever

actually the sweet spot is lower if you don't consider that most devices only have one slot but y'know, don't wanna be swapping cards all day

hm, 256 GB seems to still be the sweet spot for price/size for microSDs

someone patch SMB2 support into OpenPs2Loader please, this is annoying

I wonder why operating systems don't just queue copy operations between the same drives to avoid this

I looked at GPU prices again and come on surely at some point they should come down a bit?

when I installed the xStation I was like "I'm gonna try so many different games" turns out I lied I'm just gonna play RR Type 4

*announcer voice* real racing roots 99 grand prix

I randomly started a game labeled "Track 1" on my Xstation and like how does a Puyo Puyo game go this hard https://youtu.be/5uco7DHs8U8

"really makes you think" you can't make me think. more powerful entities have tried and failed

Techmoan making a good point at the end of this video: He's showing the only music format that's old enough to definitely be out of the copyright period. If you can get hit with a content match from playing a 87rpm record maybe that time is too long

being able to install PS2 games via the network is so convenient

oh yeah Firefox OS kinda lives on in KaiOS (though that's closed-source) powering feature phones like the Nokia 8110 revival

it's almost as if capitalism heavily favors monopolies huh

I understand why Firefox OS was cancelled but gosh at the time a mostly-webapp OS with Mozilla's handwriting on it sounded really good. Ubuntu for phones was afaik the first time someone really committed to the phone-turns-into-a-desktop thing
