I think the other aspect is that we have the statistics now. I would assume that the PS2 had more monthly users than the PS3 for quite a long time maybe even up to the PS4. Same with the Wii and WiiU and going farther back quite possibly the NES than the SNES, SNES than the N64, C64 than the Amiga, etc.

Yeah, but you'll likely never buy it considering how little HBM2 was used in consumer applications. I assume we'll know a price when the other memory makers join in and compete

They are for servers, if you could afford it Micron would already have contacted you.

And 1871 was also an embarassment, and 1830, and 1821 et cetera. Napoleon was a short reprieve from several centuries of humiliating defeats.

How many laptops don't have an SD Card slot?

video recording/editing (some phones can record 4k at high frame rates) , gaming, general responsiveness. I know that we as tech (and especially linux) people don't really understand that but a lot of people are using their phones for a whole load of things now and especially with things now. Also the argument why you would choose UFS would be higher speeds. The real argument for MicroSD Express is backwards compatibility.

Also also I'm looking forwards to being able to run SBC from a MicroSD Express card so it's at least somewhat faster.

Yeah, but that adapter ist just a PCB, I'd assume a M.2 to USB Adapter is mofe complicated.

If you are a phone manufacturer you can either choose MicroSD cards which are the most common and the cheapest, MicroSD Express Cards which are more expensive but faster and backwards compatible or UFS which nobody has ever heard of.

Why would anybody adopt a newer standard with no backwards compatibility and slower speeds?

Probably easier to switch out for debugging or to flash a SSD from a PC.

No real alternatives in that form factor.

The US government doesn't (to my knowledge at least) have copyright protections so MIT wouldn't be possible. BSD 0-Clause is just better because e.g. Austria doesn't allow you to cede copyright to the public domain and CC0 directly mentions the public domain in the terms of the license.
