and I found microSD to m.2, of course.pic.twitter.com/ppqspDR25W

another weird thing: an SD to USB adapter. That's not weird, you get those for free with plenty of SD cards. But this one is for USB HEADERS, so you can use this to mount an SD card permanently inside your PC?pic.twitter.com/fIFjiw0McQ

I also found this neat m.2 for raspi adapter. That's good, the raspi has really been held back by the lack of storage options, and having to use a microSD card has always... wait, how is this connected to the pi?pic.twitter.com/GLtJENoypb

OH FUCK YOUpic.twitter.com/hkuE056VP5

are you annoyed that your phone has the wrong size of sim card, and you have to use an adapter? Why not go the other way? all the other way? Use a full size SIM card in your nano-sim based smartphone!pic.twitter.com/GwxaGjl76J

here's a card that doesn't look that weird. at first. So it's an ISA card with USB, right? that's rare (PCI was more common by the time USB got big) but why doesn't it have a bracket? and why does it say USB2ISA on it?pic.twitter.com/wgfWE1Wiq7

see, they expect you to use this with a powered backplane like this one and then you attach some ISA cards to itpic.twitter.com/cMXEBOeMZJ

So you can take your (let's go full silly) cell phone, and plug in a CGA card and now your android phone can run a CRT at 320x200 with 4 colors!pic.twitter.com/ag0q8xVfVE

BTW, have you ever wanted an SD to microSD adapteR? No, not the boring kind which let you use a microSD card in an SD card slot, the cool kind where you can use a full-size SD card in a microSD card slot!pic.twitter.com/ebBj6OcfFJ

have you ever worried that normal m.2 to pci-e adapter cards are just too sensible, and you'd rather just do the absolute minimum and risk damaging both the card and the slot?pic.twitter.com/wbHpZUFijh

have you ever thought that the real problem was that the front and back of your computer are backwards? well let me help you. This may seem confusing at first...pic.twitter.com/ylqpANUofb

but with a simple 5 step process you can now mount your PCI-E cards on the front of your computer!pic.twitter.com/D0aFUfPknS

and really, who among us hasn't wanted to have an upsidedown geforce sticking out the front of their gaming rig?pic.twitter.com/UhNhsparhU

here's another one that's weird, but mainly because it's internal. It's a USB to dual-SATA adapter, and that's common... but it's designed for being vertically mounted internally into a USB3.0 motherboard header.pic.twitter.com/WoiaQOXLkS

here's another one in that weird category. It's a USB to ethernet adapter, but instead of being a dongle, it's an internal expansion card, but with no PCI-E connection. Instead it's internal- USB.pic.twitter.com/P8HOIFLH5G

DDR4 extender! for when you need to move your DDR4 memory... away from the motherboard, because... reasons?pic.twitter.com/K6agw3kFab

have you ever wanted to use more expensive DDR2 SODIMM modules in a full-size DDR2 motherboard? No? Well fuck you, we made an adapter for it anyway.pic.twitter.com/YJsFXiQCls

Have you ever wanted to plug a gigabit ethernet connection right into a m.2 socket? AGAIN, FUCK YOU, IT EXISTSpic.twitter.com/B6gLV5whof

INDUSTRIAL USB FLASH DRIVE what's that mean? IT MEANS YOU CAN BOLT IT TO SOMETHINGpic.twitter.com/aa0j6kh7GS

have you ever wanted to mount an m.2 SSD in something that looks like it's supposed to be a medieval torture device?pic.twitter.com/zZsMlGUuyL

PCIe DOM! this is an SSD. But rather than bother with anything like cables or connectors, you just plug it right into an PCIe slot and BAM, storage.pic.twitter.com/3v6VKAaPPd

these are related to the older SATA DOMs.pic.twitter.com/gf17i9k5Kg

and the even older IDE DOMspic.twitter.com/ScV2iKz6ND

these are designed to be plugged straight into the motherboard (or IDE controller), with no cables needed.pic.twitter.com/3EjPqXLyJR

fun fact: some companies have taken this IDE DOM idea and given it a connector for some other devices. Like this one which takes CF cards (so it's a mostly-passive device)pic.twitter.com/Har4u6lY58

and this not-at-all-passive SD card one.pic.twitter.com/RoweAnodb2

and the rare "USB DOM" the common name for this is just a "USB flash drive", but since it plugs right into an internal USB header...pic.twitter.com/nOgfFMdq5R
