    Just a couple days ago I needed a microsd to usb adapter. Couldn’t find one, so I loaded the files to a memory with fat usb(I don’t know what it’s called) and usb c connections. Then connected the memory to my phone and on my phone I moved the files to the microsd card.

    Not the same but similar vibes I think.

    It’s sad that several phones are removing the memory slot.

      Fat USB is called USB A. The one you use for printers is USB B. Then there are mini-A, mini-B, micro-A, micro-B and USB 3.0 micro-B which are all different shapes physically. And USB A 3.0 has slightly different contacts from USB A 1.0/2.0

      Anyway, that was when USB nomenclature was still simple. Don’t google anything they did past version 3.0, for your own sanity. We’re now down to mostly the USB C and A shapes, but USB 3.2 gen 1x1 is the same thing as USB 3.1 gen 1 is the same thing as USB 3.0.

      USB 4 simplified things a bit, but now you can get things like Gen 4 asymmetric 3:1
