Indestructible SD cards - help me destroy them


Recommended Posts

Note: I almost forgot, they are Samsung microSD cards rated as "waterproof, shockproof and magnet-proof"

*raises eyebrow*

Wouldn't this apply to all MicroSD cards? No moving parts should ensure they are shock proof. The lack of a magnetic storage medium should ensure they are all magnet-proof. As long as they aren't wet while on I would assume they are all waterproof as well...

Yeah you're right. Which is why it'll test it against a normal SD card.

Also, the shockproof image shows someone stepping on it, and the casing appears to be metal from looking at it through the packaging

Copy some pron on to it, freeze it in to an icecube and then add it to a glass of whiskey/port/tipple of choice

Then you can say you are enjoying a glass of classy pron whilst testing the card, but don't swallow it :D

you could also test it in ways that might actually happen irl, drive over it, step on it, leave it overnight outside in the rain.

Throw it from a second/third floor window

Shoot it with a bow/gun/catapult (shoot it from a catapult)

Of course, do the standard test of running it through the washing machine in a real world situation. Put it in a pocket in a pair of pants and wash them with other clothes, do the whole thing, wash, and dry. Don't use the anti-static dryer sheets, let that build up too.

Put it into a system like OSX which hates to have drives unmounted w/o ejecting first. I think I nuked a SD drive from my camera a couple of weeks ago, but thinking it was ejected, forgetting it wasn't and removing it. It failed to read permanently.

'Cook" it under the hood of your car by taking it on a road trip taped to a hot area.

Give it to a little kid to play with for a while (HIGHLY SUPERVISED), let them draw all over it, paint it, drool over it etc...

Nuke from orbit ftw.

or yeah..im willing to bet the introduction of the 'hammer' element to said "indestructible" Card would do the trick. Failing that,line a baking tray with foil...set grill to max....remove when card is liquid.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
