Your output from dmesg didn't paste.
Does the card appear in lsblk? Also try cleaning any dirt off the microSD

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sorry, this is the output:

The reader can't initalizie the SD card, so no "/dev/sdb" (nothing on lsblk also, obvioulsy).
I'll try cleaning it better, but I already used a napkin.
mmc0: cannot verify signal voltage switch suggests something is wrong with the hardware (either SD card or card reader). -110 is a timeout error, and -123 generally indicates a problem with media hardware.
You're not gonna fix this with software. Try a different card reader, or if you think it's the SD card, put a bit of alcohol on a cotton swab and gently clean the contacts. Let the card fully dry, then try again.
Obviously this is a hail-merry shot, but your card is likely physically done for
I'll try cleaning it with alcol. Is it a good idea to use pressurized air?
Use isopropyl alcohol
Wouldn't hurt, yea

If you need the data, a solid state recovery specialist may be able to assist you. Surely won't be cheap as it generally requires reading directly from the flash through soldered wires or jigs.
Listen to this advice if the data is important to you. Also probably don't do anything else to the card just in case you would make it worse.
just in case, you tried on two computers, but is it the same card reader ? I've seen more dead microSD to usb/sd readers than sd cards in my life
both laptops
with an integrated micro-sd reader or do you used a miscro-sd to normal-sd converter to put them in ?
Try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before trying to read the data. Or heat it up slightly.
This is an old trick I've used to recover data from a hard drive or two. I suppose it could help if the problem with the SD is some kind of microscopic fractures.
It should be emphasized that this is just a temporary workaround at best.
If you just want to try to recover, PhotoRec This does require it to at least be able to power and have a raw device to look at, though it doesn't have to be able to be mounted. More than just photos can be recovered.
Had pretty close to the same results with PhotoRec vs commercial tools on windows.
tried but no device (like /dev/sdb) appears so PhotoRec just shows a menu for selection with my main disks.
Just for clarification, were you able to read the card from this machine before?
I had a similar issue where my SD card reader was not able to read a card with a newer standard like SDXC or whatever it was and i had to find a newer reader.
Yes
