The guy in charge of thinking of a new acronym probably retired 10 years ago.
Neanderthal Technology File System
Not That Fresh System
Join Ext4!
Or APFS
It’s open source too
You’re right.
That’s weird because I still remember the keynote where it was announced and I use an OS lib on Linux that I was sure was maintained by Apple.

I mean, it’s still way better than Fat, but incredibly incompatible with a lot of things still and new usb drives are always FAT. Shame ntfs didn’t catch on more.
External storage is always FAT, because everything can read FAT, so it just makes life easier for file transfers.
Not because NTFS/ext4/etc doesnt work on usb sticks.
Yeah, but that’s the shame. Ntfs been around for decades, would be great for usb as it allows faster transfer speeds and more secure. Would have been nice if more devices included it so it wasn’t such a compatibility barrier.
I’d rather have universal compatibility myself.
besides, its not like you cant reformat it to NTFS. They just come stock as fat so you can access them on any device.
It was new at the time. Anyway, what is the best file system to use nowadays? zfs?
