Microsoft Becomes Sponsor of Open Source Initiative

Or some android phones now put the SD card under the battery with the SIM. Getting it out is a major faff. So one wouldn't want to take it out - easier just to plug the phone into the computer.

I'm guessing my (Moto G5) might now format the card ext4 or something - I have the option of formatting it as "internal storage" and it warns you that the card "is now unusable with a PC". I haven't done it, so I haven't used linux to try and read it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a simple dodge to avoid that exFAT patent.

Cheers,
