  1. Fahrenheit? WTHolyF? by EmagGeek · · Score: 1, Troll

    Why the hell are we talking about the Fahrenheit scale. And, while we're at it, memory of all kinds is always expressed in GiB, so a 512GB card is 1024 times as large as a 512MB card, not 1000 times.

    It looks like a standard -25 to 85C extended commercial rating.
