I downloaded guiformat to prepare a 128gb card but I don't know what to put as the allocation size.

I read somewhere that I had to enter 32 but 512 is the smallest number I can choose and it doubles all the way up to a max 65,536.

It also makes it an exFAT, if I'm not mistaken. Aren't I supposed to be getting a FAT32?

WTF? Stupid app keeps telling me the SD card is in use so can't be formatted. I've taken it out and put it back in again 3 times now! I even opened Task Master to check nothing else is in use.

No, the guiformat app has a MINIMUM allocation size of 512.

And WTF now? I suddenly only have 50gb?

I don't know what's happened but I had 128gb and it's gone DOWN to 50!!!

Edit: thank god! I used windows own quick format and the SD's gone back UP to 128gb (well, 116. I don't now why 12gb have been missing all along).

    I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't

    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.

    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.
