   @zachleat do you think one day we’ll look back and say “remember when loading a 1.3GB file seemed like so much!?” I cannot imagine that day lol

      @jimniels I remember when folks complained that it was time to move on from jQuery because 20 KB was too much 😅

         @zachleat I remember downloading a blink 182 mp3 at 3MB and we'd go outside and play a game of basketball then come back and check to see if it was done 😅

            @jimniels haha I remember leaving a demo download of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex_(video_game) running overnight and my dad asking me if “deusex.zip” was illicit material 😅

      *Barely touches an 1.5 TB microSD card*

      This bad boy can fit so many machine-learning files in it!

      *microSD card promptly flies across the room and falls into the narrowest and most difficult to reach crack*

         @qlp @jimniels physical cards give me anxiety, don’t @ me

            @zachleat @jimniels I've been shuffling around a bunch of microSD cards lately. When I ejected a card from a portable emulation handheld one time, it launched it directly at my eyes.

            I've also had a few bent pins in CompactFlash readers because the tolerance between the card and the reader was a bit too much.

            Also, a failing CF card reader nuked about 20% of my photos at an event once. Sadly, it was from before DSLRs (outside of maybe the Canon 1D and Nikon D3 series) had more than one memory card slot.

   @zachleat at State of the Browser, @dletorey said he used 1.4MB floppy disks as badges to remind us that a full web page should fit on one of those disks.
