My wife and I used an audio guest book wedding phone that saves audio recordings to an SD card. Looks like an 8gb micro sd from V7 world(?)
My wife had access to the recordings via her iPad until last week. Now no iPad, phone, laptop is able to detect the sd card and we’ve tried multiple adapters. My fear is that it’s fried based on preliminary research but figured it would be worth a shot here.
Thank you to anyone who reads this
I’m looking for the best Micro SD i can get. Mainly looking for:
Cheap ($40 / £30 or below)
Reputable (like a well-known brand)
Fast (100 MB/s or above)
Large Capacity (256gb or above)
What camera and SD card are you using? Have you tried the card on a computer yet?
The fact that your camera can still display the photos is a good sign. It sounds more like the phone crash interrupted the transfer rather than permanently corrupting the card.
I’d stop using the card for now and try accessing it on a computer with a different card reader. You can also connect the camera directly to the computer and copy the RAW files that way. If the card isn’t recognized but the photos are still visible in-camera, recovery software may be able to recover the files. Just avoid formatting the card.
I need more space on my phone so I’ve been looking for 256gb sd cards but the prices are crazy I’m thinking of buying the fakes ones but I know my friend bought a cheap usb drive with “1tb” and it has issues with data (he had a incident where some files dissapeared) does anyone know where to find reliable cheap sd cards or if the fake ones on Amazon are reliable? Please help.
If you don’t want to install the optional update, Microsoft says the fix will also be included in the regular June Patch Tuesday update, so most users should get it automatically soon.
That’s great to hear. I was holding off on installing updates because I kept seeing reports about the error.
The good news is that the fix is already included in the optional KB5089573 update released in May.
Microsoft says the issue was caused by not having enough free space in the EFI System Partition. Apparently, devices with very little space there were the most affected.
I had this problem. The update would install, restart my PC, then fail and roll back with a message saying, “Something didn’t go as planned.”
Looks like Microsoft has finally fixed the Windows 11 KB5089549 update issue that was causing installation failures for some users.
I’ve been following the Windows K2 project rumors for a while, and this seems like the first visible result. If Microsoft continues improving performance through 2027 like they’re planning, Windows 11 could finally shed its reputation for feeling sluggish. For once, this looks like an update that’s actually focused on making PCs faster instead of just adding new features.
I’m cautiously optimistic. Microsoft has talked about performance improvements before, but Windows 11 still feels heavier than Windows 10 on some systems. I’ll wait until the June rollout and see what real users are saying.
If this works as advertised, it could be great for older hardware. My budget laptop runs Windows 11 fine, but opening File Explorer or Search always has a slight delay. Reports claiming up to 40% faster app launches sound promising.
What’s interesting is that Microsoft isn’t really inventing something new here. macOS and Linux have used similar “race-to-sleep” techniques for years. The CPU ramps up briefly, completes the task faster, then returns to a low-power state. It’s a smart way to improve responsiveness without constantly increasing power consumption.
Just think about what you are saying. Are the fake ones reliable?
No.
They take your files and garbage them.
Perhaps stand back for a bit and save up for a quality SD card from a trusted local store. Don’t waste your money.
