Definitely a manifestation lol
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.
