late stage capitalism is lazy though, this is expected.
Those are same Sandisk Extreme Plus, but usually cheaper as it ain't intended for photography people who are milked by anyone and their dogs with high prices.
I have a Switch and my SO wanted to get me a surprise so she went out and bought the 512 officially branded card because she felt confident in it. She's bought me various other electronic stuff before that just flat out failed.
It's no more stupided the officially branded say headsets for the PS5. Is the Sony one the best, no but it's a safe buy. Is the branded Steelseries the best, no but it's a safe buy. Oddly officially branded stuff cuts down on snake oil nonsense because it's forced into X price range, tested, certified, and performs acording to X standards. Rather than the fucking slew of non official stuff all over the price range where people who aren't tech nerds have no idea if it's a good buy, just trash, or a total rip off.Still do. They also sell graphics cards with up skirt shots of underage anime girls as stickers. As always PC takes the cake when it comes to tasteless crap. I'm putting up a tame one. Stay classy PC gaming, oh wait you never were.
I intentionally wanted a different look, as I know this one is raspbian or windows iot etc.
Basically it does matter, as this time it does not bring added costs.
