I've even been using my Mac Pro to copy samples even to a SmartMedia card — to use it with Korg drum machine until I sold it, no issues at all 🤷
Sony being mentioned in this context is quite interesting — because Sony and SD cards is a relatively new development, as we all know, they've went quite a mile promoting their own proprietary Memory Stick — even in the phones.

Is this a common problem? I don't remember experiencing anything like that, but I didn't have macs with built-in card-readers — and with USB ones it works like in any other system: the partitions that are supported get automatically mounted and an icon appears on the desktop, if they use file system that isn't supported, it gives you a prompt offering to initialise/format it.

And cafe Sinbad next to it! Are you sure this isn't Moscow? 😜

Good riddance! Never going to miss this, essentially a hack.

@lrhodes
At this point, people want their hardware to just keep working, keep being repairable, but they are being forced to upgrade their hardware in order to keep using the software that often allows them to do the same things. That's pretty insane 😩

@lrhodes
Exactly! In yesterday's thread I describe my experience with a laptop that is over a decade old: https://breloma.m0xee.net/objects/5c58ccb2-b045-4fc3-bdeb-0cf0754fcae3
I think that is still perfect for absolute most of my everyday tasks. In modern laptops a lot of the features that I like about this one get sacrificed for more performance — performance that most never asked for. Long gone are the days when getting new computer meant serious quality of life improvements.

I like the colours! So comfy 😊

Ну, если он федерируется, то и смысла нет 👍

Ого, а Juick до сих пор работает? 😱
когда я хотел зарегистрироваться в чём-то похожем на Twitter, я про него вспомнил, но т.к. открыл для себя Феди, уже не стал. Оказывается, можно было выбрать обе две одновременно 😂

@newt @joey @pesekcuy
Sometimes you have to get 2 or 3 to find the one that works for you, which makes getting the original one, that is guaranteed to work, faster and cheaper. People buy original cables because they want to save their time and money — not because AliExpress doesn't exist in their cinematic universe 😉

@newt @joey @pesekcuy
There is a fine line between busting Apple's bullshit — there is plenty of: very well documented and some of it later officially admitted even, and believing schizo theories about Apple earning big bux on selling $20 cables, especially considering there always were cheaper alternatives — but thing is: it might work or… might not.

@newt @joey @pesekcuy
Guess what — at the exact same time when this theory took the centre stage, I had a phone — non-Apple one, that started shutting itself off because old battery couldn't provide the current to satisfy the SoC on performance spikes. If they didn't do this — people would be just complaining that their phones are rebooting randomly.

@newt @joey @pesekcuy
OMG, I'm the last person willing to defend Apple, I just know that a lot of these theories are utter crap.
Remember when everyone was complaining that Apple slows down old phones on purpose to motivate you to buy a new one? They indeed did limit the performance, but whether the motive is that remains to be confirmed by something else.

@newt @joey @pesekcuy
But that's the whole point — "cheapo android phones" don't have USB3 either, look at this: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_poco_f6_pro-12992.php
It was released a little more than a week ago — it's not some niche device, and a quite popular brand.
Besides — most cheap android phones don't even have UFS 4.0 storage, there is simply nothing that could cause the overheating in them.

@newt
Valid point! But I prefer to just carry about 300 gigs of music with me (200 Gb SD card + some on internal storage) to avoid having to copy things over often. Sure, I throw a new album or two that I definitely want to listen on the go every now and than, but it doesn't happen too often, it's not tens of gigabytes, more like a couple — and this usually gets done in a minute or two — over wireless connection of course, I don't even have to look for a cable.

@newt @joey @pesekcuy
I think they didn't care to go for higher throughput earlier because nearly no one needs that 🤷
Yep, there is an artificial limitation, but I think schizo theory explaining this might be false and real reasoning might be different: like preventing the flash controller from overheating having to handle such throughput.
