Does a memory card weigh more after having data saved onto it?
10/10 troll. I raged at you.
>>340287987
Yes but its so insignificant you would never tell
yes, but i'm pretty sure it's only measurable on advanced weights
>>340287987
Technically yes, since it has more electricity, but the magnets inside make the difference impossible to weigh.
>>340287987
So a .rar file is the same physical weight if compressed or uncompressed. Interesting
dose youre braine haf moar wait after reeding this
Does a waifu weigh more after giving you her love?
>>340288197
gud trol dud
>>340288197
Magnets, how do they fucking work?
Only if the bits of data are 1s rather than 0s.

s-sauce
>>340287987
very slightly, but not a noticeable or easily measurable amount. floating-gate transistors hold charge to signify a 1, so physically speaking that probably means more electrons are on board the card.

Here you go, my friend.
>>340288498
Depends on how long she gave you her love.
Technically yes, but it's miniscule (electrons, not even atoms).
>>340287987
Yes. The more data a memory card stores on it, the more electrons are trapped. These electrons do have weight: For example, the difference between a full and empty 4GB flash drive is 10-18 grams. It does gain weight, but it is so insignificant you could never tell the difference

nope, data compression isnt literally physical compression, so things like volume and density dont come into it.
data compression is based around representing a data stream in a different way so you literally use less data, like AAAABBCCC being written as A4B2C3 (3 less characters)
>>340287987
Not really. In fact it weighs less and less with each write/erase cycle due to memory wear. That's also applicable to SSDs, which is why they usually mark the initial weight on the cover so that you could easily check the amount of remaining cycles of an SSD you're buying off the aftermarket.
