And yet they’ll replace it with some cloud-native monstrosity that will get hacked by an unhinged GPT.

Say what you will about floppies. There’s something to be said for a system that’s air-gapped by default.

I’m curious also something like Stuxnet would fit on a floppy disk? They hacked the Iranian centrifuges via USB virus.

It’s like getting car jacked and the perp realizes it’s a stick shift so they panic and run away.
