My fave night-time audiobook/music player is a Retekess V115, which, in principle, is a big enough device for a full SD. It's opted out for a microSD, though.
On the down side, if I don't control the microSD when on its way out (it's a "push-till-click" sort of system)... well, I've had to hunt for the "grasshopper" due to a momentary lapse of concentration. Twice. Hard task. Totally agree.
On the up side, because the small cards can be used in a phone, they are relatively easy to find in shops, even in their now-less-common 32GB form. And, theoretically, I could use my phone to download stuff onto my player!
But the card is still jumpy as anything, yeah

Oh, give me thick bezels! ♪
I can't levitate the phone, I need some safe area to hold it by! Buttons, ideally, but if you insist on touchscreens, make provisions for
not triggering the touch sensors.
Today's technological terror: Cloudflare saying it's verifying whether "the connection is secure".
Captcha is not testing security! SSL status
might be testing
security, a bit. SSL means that the connection is tamper-proof to some extent. Though it's still no guarantee a site is
safe, both
for me and
from me - the site can hack me and I can DDOS the site via an SSL-encrypted connection, no problemo!
No wonder people don't understand online safety, security, etc, etc, if one of the commonest sites is confusing them so...
"Testing if you're human", though has its own set of annoyances:
- the indignity of being tested for humanity by automated hoop-jumping;
- the waste of time inherent in wrestling down the captcha;
- the trouble I get when their JavaScript can't cope with my slow (ha! in dial-up times this speed would've been "beyond imagining"!) Internet;
- sometimes the waste of time that could be saved by automation on my part...
is at least
more accurate.
