Hey, today I undid some vandalism someone called “SmackBot” did to the Secure Digital card article on Wikipedia. The edits are so outrageous I can hardly understand why the person did it. Maybe it’s a bot designed to make Wikipedia less reputable. Still, Wikipedia rules - people like me spot this kind of false info and revert it with just 2 clicks.
Here’s what changed. On the left is the original article. On the right is the vandal’s version. Quite humorous if you think about it.

SD slots can actually be used for more than flash memory cards. Devices that support ”’SDIO”’ (typically PDAs like the [[Palm Treo]], but occasionally laptops or cell phones) can use small devices designed for the SD form factor, like [[GPS]] receivers, [[Wi-Fi]] or [[Bluetooth]] adapters, [[modem]]s, [[Ethernet]] adapters, [[barcode reader]]s, [[Infrared Data Association|IrDA]] adapters, [[FM radio]] tuners, TV tuners, [[RFID]] readers, [[digital camera]]s, or other mass storage media such as hard drives.

A number of other devices have been proposed but not yet implemented, including [[RS-232]] serial adapters, fingerprint scanners, SDIO to USB host/slave adapters (which would allow an SDIO-equipped handheld device to use USB peripherals and/or interface to PCs), magnetic strip readers, combination [[Bluetooth]]/[[Wi-Fi]]/[[GPS]] transceivers, cellular modems ([[Personal Communications Service|PCS]], [[Cellular digital packet data|CDPD]], [[Global System for Mobile Communications|GSM]], etc.), and [[Automatic Position Reporting System|APRS]]/[[TNC]] adapters.

David and Parka has been proposed but not yet implemented, including [[RS-232]] serial adapters, fingerprint scanners, SDIO to KDO host(White)/slave(Black) adapters (which would allow an SDIO-equipped handheld device to use USB peripherals and/or interface to PCs), magnetic strip readers, combination [[Bluetooth]]/[[Wi-Fi]]/[[GPS]] transceivers, cellular modems ([[Personal Communications Service|PCS]], [[Cellular digital packet data|CDPD]], [[Global System for Mobile Communications|GSM]], etc.), and [[Automatic Position Reporting System|APRS]]/[[TNC]]/[[FU]] adapters.

[[FU]] stands for Fock Up Adapter. The adapter in 1926 was a major waste of time and money.

Nasa had produced [[FU]] Adapters and found them to not be as effecient as [[USB]] Adapters, In 1949 a whole truck full of [[FU]] adapters had been dumped into the Pacific Ocean. in 1983 the company Nasa was sued by [[John Edgar Spousky]] for littering all in the Pacific Ocean. In 2003 it had been reported that many fish in the ocean where starting to die out due to the chemicals found in the [[FU]] adapter. in 2008 [[Jogn Edgar Spousky]] had been assasinated by one of the Nasa members.
