lol Japan invents the three major optical disc storage mediums that became ubiquitous and their government says fuck that and just keeps on using floppy disks
At least the floppy fits in a standard envelope ( as long ad we’re talking about the 3.5" )
they invented those too afaik
They probably communicated news of the phase out though fax
Everybody’s pager went off in celebration!
How can they get anything done? 1.44MB is very little nowadays. Imagine having to split up a word document into dozens of floppy disks.
What would they use Word for? This is about submitting data in their own standard formats in tiny files.
The real crime is that they’re not switching to online. Using optical discs is going to be even more ridiculous for those tiny files.
Ah that makes more sense, the article didn’t mention what was stored on them unless I missed it
The game is security isn’t it? No online means you must have physical access to some systems
I’ve got .rar file parts of FRIENDS episodes strewn across thousands of floppies, it’s a way to give your life meaning during the end times
