What's your IRL superhero power?

GENERAL KENOBI

So, A1/A2 is yet another scale they invented because, why not.
A2 is supposed to have more IOPS than A1, although in benchmarks, some A1s perform better.
I wouldn't worry too much about it tbh.

Kinda like people complaining Rage Against the Machine becoming political.
Always has been.

I'm on the couch, literally reading this comment laterally.

Well that's annoying.
You could probably read the file where it writes the leases instead. Although that isn't event based unless you do your own wrapper to check it every second instead of cronus minutes

No taxation without representation or something.

So, the SD Association is absolutely fucking insane when it comes to giving labels to literally anything.

The Steam Deck supports UHS-1 microSD cards.
That's the name of the bus. There'salso UHS-2 and UHS-3, but they're backwards compatible with UHS-1, so that's whatever.

Speeds...
Some cards used speed "classes", like Class 10...
There's also U1 or U3 speeds (which is a speed rating independent of the bus. (A U3 cards is probably a UHS-1 card.
Some have a speed rated with a V, like V10, V30, etc.
They often have multiple labels too.
These can all be used to label the speed of a UHS-1 card:
UHS Speed Class

• U1: 10 MB/s minimum write speed.
• U3: 30 MB/s minimum write speed.

Video Speed Class

• V6: 6 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V10: 10 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V30: 30 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V60: 60 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V90: 90 MB/s minimum write speed.

Class 10

• Class 10: 10 MB/s minimum write speed (legacy).

Anyway, U3 is basically the same as a V30.
U3/V30 would be the minimum I'd get for the Deck. Price being the deciding factor for the rest.
I don't really care if the card ever fails, so brand was (mostly) irrelevant in my choice.

Yup this one works.
Turns out "local only" communities are bugged.

Mount Rushmore already sucks ass but it could always suck more.

TIL half the people at my workplace have been reading this book for the last 2 decades.
