I personally haven't had to touch it in over a decade, but I guess there's probably some uses for it still, yeah.

Personal computers and flagship phones? Yeah you can probably use exFAT.

Video game consoles and handhelds? Dashcams? Car entertainment centers? Cheap android devices? 100% going to be FAT32 partitioned with a Master Boot Record

Low end motherboard BIOS flashing

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I just flashed my mobo last night and it wanted a fat32 fs. It’s not low-end at all.

You think high end motherboards are going to flash from XFS?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I've seen a few that can read ExFAT

Yup, I had to download a program to format my 64Gb micro SD card for my 3ds last year.

I needed it for a printer the other day!
