Pretty much.
A very small set of phones used SD, then MMC (thinner), then mini-SD.
Once micro SD arrived, that was pretty much it.

When the card launched, I remember reading that Apple was keen to put their finger on the scales when deciding whether or not somebody was offered credit through Apple. Their logic, I assume, was that the increased profits would offset the increased risk.
This appears not to have been the case.
I'm pretty sure Amazon neutered the camels during the pandemic.
I recall using gtile previously, which worked very well with my ultrawide. I forgot to re-install it on my current laptop, so I had to look it up just now. I normally have a 3x2 grid.
I might be tempted to use the app, except it refused to let me sign in because of something funky with my loyalty card.
Plus, I kinda like going beep beep beep with the gun.
There is another shop I refuse to use the scanner gun at, because every time you scan, a really loud acknowledgement beep emanates from somewhere in the shop. I can only assume it's because 90% of their clientele don't use the scanners, and they assume anyone who does is a thieving scrote who needs to have eyes on them at all times.
Ironic, considering how many members of the cabinet are being served court orders for their WhatsApp messages.
Is there a fix for de-auth nowadays?
I haven't looked at it for years, but didn't it use to be that devices would listen for a de-auth from any source, meaning that a bad actor could poison any wlan in range?
From my understanding, that's how hotels did it to encourage paying for wifi: If Joe starts a hotspot called JoePhone, their systems would automatically start spamming de-auth for JoePhone.
Unless it got fixed in a 2.4/5GHz revision?
It's bordering on "Quantum Fruitloopery", as New Scientist used to call it!
If I have time later, I might dig up some papers and expand the page so it doesn't read like a new-age wiki.
So that's how Bond managed to fill up the DB5 on a civil servant's salary.
When I use Gumtree, I'm always on best behavior, as I know what absolute shits people can be on it.
I check it's still available, if I want to knock anything off (within reason) I do it nice and early, then I schedule a time to collect (or even offer a deposit if it's a good deal).
I picked up some garden furniture recently, and it was a very good price. By the time I got there, the lady told me she'd had 10 people trying to haggle an already giving-it-away price down.
Too many people like the "hustle" and reselling, when really Gumtree is for transferring items from someone who doesn't want it, to someone who does.
Depending on where you are, there are a lot of charity bike places.
Mine came from there, I got a very solid ridgeback meteor for just over £100.
Matter feels a little bit doomed.
Manufacturers want to lock people into their systems.
Enthusiastic techies want devices to support the standards that are already working, and often to avoid IP where possible.
General consumers just want the device to do the thing, and will happily use the manufacturer's lock app.
Matter sits in the middle, and somehow misses both camps.
The techies don't like it, because it's adding yet another standard to adhere to/break.
And the general consumers won't even notice, they'll just use the app the manufacturer suggests on the box.
