    You can format a flash drive with whatever the hell file system you want. Just, don’t expect anything formatted exFAT to work in any dedicated device made before 2019, nor even the majority of them made afterwards.

    The ones who need to get their shit together are the manufacturers of printers, media players, car head units, set top boxes, game consoles, and all the other things into which you might want to insert a flash drive (or memory card) that is not a full-blown PC.

      What’s wrong with exfat? I’ve used it dozens of time with no problems.

      Edit: oh thought you meant wth pcs. You mean cars and receivers and stuff. Fair.
