They started out with 100mb and before they were gone I want to say they may have had disks that went all the way up to 1gb. I know they had 750s for sure.

Floppy (obivously), 250MB Zip Disk, then DV cassette for handcams
Just googled it for curiosity sake and I was right in that Zip disks started with 100MB, then eventually 250, 500, and 750 sizes. After that Iomega marketed the Jaz Drive with 1GB and 2GB disks, but by that point I think USB thumb drives were reaching similar densities so I don't remember seeing a single Jaz drive in the wild.
DV Cassettes afaik were tape with digital video encoded onto them rather than analog, hence the ability to be so small while still having good quality.
From the DV cassettes I think they went to those compact flash things. You can see a size comparison on that adapter to the relative size differences. I think the standard these days for the people who bother with dedicated consumer video cameras is 2x SD card slots.
Doing a Google/Wiki walk, apparently there were more standards than even I knew about.
For professional video, it appears they went from CompactFlash to CFast which was a SATA variant of the original. Then XQD which looks like a hybrid of sorts between a CF and SD card which used PCIe interface. Now they have CFexpress which are big chonkers like the original CompactFlash, but support faster PCIe with more lanes and larger capacities. And it looks like some ones like RED cameras literally just had hot-swappable 2.5" SSD cassettes for a time

It's maybe not quite as egregious as Betamax or Bluray

My quest for a SFF case that could hold a 350mm 4080 is hopeless, yet I march on.

My inability to find an SFF case that will my GPU is leaving me in a tough choice though
Go to an SFF build to reclaim some desk space, look nicer and make it so that when I get a new desk I don't have to get a big one.
Keep what I have which is more powerful, but takes up a massive chunk of space and makes it so that I have to get a bigger desk when I get a new one.
sly elk
i feel like
there's a clash in priorities there
if you want something small, quiet, and unobtrusive, a 4080 probably isn't a very good choice
that's "mac mini on my desk and a ps5 shoved inside an entertainment center cabinet where nobody can see it" kinda stuff
lime wasp
I was originally going to go SFF, but then a 4080 came along on sale and it was just like...well I have a 4k monitor and 7900XTXs were nowhere to be found.....
So I grabbed it and the only case I could A: Find in stock that would fit it and B: Wasn't a monster
But alas I have a twinge of buyer's regret not only because of the size but because I really did like the idea of having a powerful SFF computer
sly elk
I mean
if one doesn't exist yet, I'm sure a case eventually will that fits the 4080 and works fine

hmm (reading on the packet compression in 6.35)
also the memory leak tech support thread. seems like the reason act only works at character select is because that's the only time you get a full starting packet - after that the rest are deltas in order to reduce bandwith. it also can't deal with compressed data or large packets
regular packets are trained into a dictionary model instead of the (raw) opcodes normally used to tell the client something is happening
so when ntt is ntt and drops packets it has to rebuild the state
I don't know the compression for small packets yet, large (4k+) ones are lzss

I am not running that shit on my system and expect it to be stable at xmp much less for 5 years
the store that sold it does not know what sort of binned ram they get from their provider so its not their fault

well, you are buying late ddr4. we are at the point that companies use shit tier ICs that even XMP is rough on those

not a fuckin downbinned spectek kit
I shouldn't have to spend 200euro for a decently binned kit of ram this late into ddr4s life cycle

I agree but that's why I genuinely can't suggest buying into DDR4 anymore. now its basically the leftover crap that failed or barely passed QC

I already have 16 gigs of ram and a 2700x but I thought I should get 32gigs of ram just to meet ever growing demand

there is a shop that bundle 12600k ($201.10 - bundle discount price) and a MSI Pro Z690-A DDR4 mobo ($245.56). It the mobo worth it 🤔
cuz that CPU+mobo bundle eats more budget than just buy 12600k with non-discounted price and another cheaper mobo, lol. Or opt for a 5600 which is like 40% cheaper
modest moss
do you need the extra features?

I take a look on features and it looks like your usual US$150-200 mobo, but more elaborating? I don't really understand about its spec, save that it can run 13th gen, have 4 RAM DDR4 slots, and have six audio jacks.
perhaps a bit future-proof cuz it is a Z690

no way to disable the igpu in bios and force use the nvidia?

I could yeah but certain apps (like Yuzu) need it enabled because igpu controls the display 
modest moss
technology is kinda shit these days
celest violet
I think with laptops that have igpu, and a separate gpu as well, the hdmi and type c ports are each individually controlled by one, for example igpu gets type c and nvidia gets hdmi. you could try hooking an external display up to whichever is the nvidia, then disable igpu
that way yuzu still works
not ideal but maybe possible
