Yeah I mean this hardware isn't hard because its a fricking breadboard.

(Although I spy an SD card slot, a favorite of the "hardware isn't hard" faction that will explode in their face)

Seriously, microSD cards are the second worst hardware component to have to deal with (first being labels). For being a "standard" you end up with cards that are subtly but significantly different from each other, the slots are ALL poorly designed, and microSD cards are just inherently unreliable. Plus with the current flash shortage, the major manufacturers don't care at all to support any issues with the product.
