I was browsing my SD content with DBI and came across a folder name [System Volume information] in the folder there are two files
-IndexerVolumeGuid
-WPSettings.dat
I don’t recall where it came from and wanted to know more about this folder. Is it important? And what’s it used for? Can it be deleted? I only see it when I browse SD contents with DBI but not on PC with SD inserted.

Windows makes it, it contains some metadata for search indexing. It's not important, but it will be recreated as soon as you connect the SD to your PC. Every drive that Windows touches has that folder on it.

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    I swear like 99% of arcade games wouldn't even exist these days outside of MAME the arcade machines are old and busted very few ever saw any sort of home conversion

    We get 37 versions of Super Mario Bros but 0 of Beast Busters

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, There's a lot of obscure Japanese arcade titles that are either lost to time or dumped.

    It's so unfair, maybe AI can save us lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, AI is taking our jobs!
