Public Service info from the volunteer chief archivist at datamuseum.dk:
NEVER use flash-based storage for archival purposes.
Not CF, not SD, not USB-sticks, not SSD, not NVME, nor any other flash-technology based storage media.
Flash is simply not a stable storage mechanism: Just like Dynamic RAM it will eventually forget your bits.
Unfortunately there are no good choices for long term data storage, but flash is a particular bad choice.

Hey everyone,
I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out to invite blind musicians, producers, and artists to join an **accessibility feedback group** for Sessionwire — a platform I’ve been using and really enjoying for a couple of years now.
**What is Sessionwire?**
Sessionwire is a remote music collaboration platform that allows musicians, producers, and audio professionals to work together in real time. It offers studio-quality audio, high-definition video, and seamless integration with popular DAWs, letting users collaborate on projects as if they were in the same room.
**Why am I reaching out?**
One of the developers at Sessionwire has asked me to bring together a group of blind users to help improve the platform’s accessibility. They already know which areas need work and are eager to collaborate with us to make Sessionwire better for everyone.
**Interested in participating?**
If you’re interested, **please reach out to me privately (one-on-one)** and send me the email address you’d like to use for communication. If you plan to use the same address to sign up for Sessionwire, let me know; otherwise, please also send the email you’ll use for your Sessionwire account.
If you have **any questions**, feel free to let me know!
Let’s work together to make Sessionwire more accessible for the blind community!

V tomhle videu se několikrát opakuje: „pokud platíte přes…“
Platit _přes_ něco je germanismus. V češtině máme sedmý pád, instrumentál, my dokážeme platit přímo _něčím_, nepotřebujeme pomocné slovo „přes.“ Jediný oříšek může být, jak správně skloňovat zkratkové slovo SIPO. Nejspíš prostě _Sipem_.
Ostatně vzhledem k tomu, že se nevyslovuje jako es-í-pé-ó, nemělo by se psát všemi velkými písmeny.
