   TIL, Japan will no longer require floppy disks for submitting some official documents. https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/29/japan_government_floppy_disks/

     @nixCraft My PC doesn't have any drives at all. Just two internal NVMe SSDs. I can boot from USB if needed. I haven't seen a 3.5" disk in like 25 years, 😂

     @nixCraft I remember when I worked with my country's government facility, they requested me the result of our project on a ✨️DVD disc✨️. We didn't have any DVD burner at that time so we needed to buy one just for that one time request. I think it was a little less historically amusing but a little more annoying than using a floppy disc.
