I've seen ultra cheap TB SD cards sold online that will gladly accept the rated storage capacity, but in reality they just overwrite a much smaller capacity over and over. While I think the tech the OP cites is legit, there will almost certainly be knockoff products that are not.
When it comes to your data, never trust. Always verify.

From reading the typical information-sparse marketingspeak on T-Mobile's website, it is not clear as to whether this thing activates dynamically whenever cell towers cannot be reached, or if it based on a known map of dead zones known to T-Mobile. Is it of any use offshore? What about areas where a cell tower has just failed? What about overloaded areas such as in the aftermath of a hurricane?
We need details and better technical information. Also, a lot of us would like to know, can we use this for sensor projects in remote locations for affordable realtime data connectivity? It's probably just a matter of time before someone around here will want to mount one on a shark.

Cherry MX-brown switches are still probably my favorite, but I've tried and also like the Kailth Box White switches. I feel the expectation of tactile feedback is pretty innate, likely the product of how we've evolved our response to the world around us.
Also, I like the noise.
