The new cards are part of Lexar's "Armor" lineup, which already includes ruggedized portable SSDs and other gear designed to withstand harsh conditions. The two new stainless...
Uranium baseball cups. Not physically possible to throw a baseball hard enough to damage the goods, plus it helps combat the effects of overpopulation.
I’ll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it’s made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn’t matter what it is made out of, it’s going to pollute.
Cool
Why tho
People will pay more money for premium.
But yeah environmentally this is a damn good idea. We should make everything out of metal.
Cause it’s metal.

Personally, id choose them over plastic ones if not just to save plastic
doesn’t metal manufacturing use quite a lot more energy?
But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.
True enough. Though I wonder, as a thought experiment, what would be the actual better option in the long run. Some type of resin maybe?
I guess using renewables for the energy needs of metal production would work too

What a downvote Nancy.
probably, but then i can ingest less micro plastics. Which is probably good.
at least its not a single use product, the packaging it comes in is probably a worse contributor
honestly, this might be true. There are definitely worse things to be made from metal lol
You’re not supposed to eat them.
i literally cannot help myself.
