Does anyone remember those SD cards that had wifi broadcasting capabilities for transferring content off of a dumb device? This was like 15 years ago. Seems they're not available anymore.
ETA: after some research, the brand was eye-fi and they bricked all the cards in 2016 upon going under. There are similar things out there now but availability and price aren't that great.
I bought one of those when years ago because of the wacky novelty. The wifi capability was even less reliable than cheap sdcards are for long term storage.
I have one of these still in the package that I never used. How could they have bricked it? Very curious about this!
