Microsoft is planning to remove the 32GB size limit for FAT32 partitions in Windows 11. While FAT supports volumes up to 2TB, Windows has had a 32GB arbitrary limit in place for nearly 30 years.

The limit is only being removed from the format command line right now, so the existing format dialog box will continue to have the FAT32 size limit unless Microsoft finally decides to update this Windows feature it has forgotten about for decades.

Unrelated but is the Verge even a good or trustworthy source for tech news? Maybe I’m still jaded by their build a PC tutorial

The build a pc tutorial is a huge outlier when it comes to their site. They've been pretty consistent in quality compared to most tech news sites. They've got a strong ethical standard and they fact check the things they publish.
