> San Francisco to pay $212 million to end reliance on 5.25-inch floppy disks

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/10/212-million-contract-will-finally-get-san-francisco-trains-off-floppy-disks/

San Francisco is spending $212M to modernize a system and hopefully solve dozens of ongoing problems. Also floppy disks are out.

Fixed that for you.

Print this and tape it to the wall over your BitTorrent box:

Recently, people who "purchased" Discovery shows years ago on the Playstation store had the deal altered. Sony/Discovery kept their money and removed their access to the products they "purchased" -- Sony's word for it.

So, fuck them all.

Pay creators directly for content when you can. Everything else is fair game.

Does anyone involved in this story know that you can just put several lines of text in the QR code itself (if it's printed precisely enough)? No dead links needed!

Name and phone number on one side, TEXT QR code on the other side.

We were in "remote workers are first class employees" mode for years before the pandemic. Now there is no talk of forced return-to-office, and we will probably be altering or canceling office leases at the next available opportunity.

nostr:npub1m2lq440p5h5a4t8uugcpa9z8huuechhegwspr8rs7fn7fv9m602sz3qlv3 LOL that's a new one. Are there fewer seats than employees? Are you going to play musical chairs until enough people quit?
