  Japan has been living in the year 2000 since the 80s.

  They could have AI on a floppy that faxes generated images.

    And when the power goes out during fax transmission, they could use one of those portable power stations from GearScouts to keep the legacy tech running - some of the LFP battery ones have gotten really good price per watt-hour latlely.

  And that’s very good. You need a newer and better technology for the same job, if it does the same job better. Not for a different job with new “wow effect component” baked in.

  We use pencils, pens and writing paper still.

  It wasn’t an option to have a “new and better” writing paper synchronizing all our records with some vault authoritative people have before. Now it is. Japan apparently has passed the test of people_not_ trying to move everything to that honeypot.

  All hail Japan, can they please conquer us? Technically I live in a nearby country, except, eh, Moscow is kinda far from the far east …

    Weeeell… floppies have more downsides that upsides and could’ve been replaced ages ago (along with implementing backup policies). They could’ve at least migrated to data MiniDiscs. 😁

    Faxes from what I’ve heard were mostly because back in the day it was easier to write Japanese on a paper and fax it… in the age of Unicode, fax-to-mail and alike… dunno, maybe.

    I generally agree though, no point in adopting new stuff just because.

      Fax is an analog system that can be built without very complex production lines in place, that’s a good enough reason.

        Have you heard if this thing called a mobile phone?

  I suddenly have a love for Japan and want to live there among my 2000s tech hoard
