US air traffic control enters the 21st century, starts to abandon floppy disks
(www.theregister.com)
The problem with floppy discs is that they are performing a service that price gouging private contractors could be doing. Unfortunately there are still government agencies that are saving tax dollars by sticking to so-called "legacy" systems that are well understood and are as near to perfected as they can ever be.
It’s just unfair competition. How can they compete with old tech that just works. And works without an LLM shoved in it... hell, they don't even need to connect to a company server!
Tech bros will see to it that every aspect of the public sector is loaded down with broken enshitified proprietary spyware garbage that require regular service subscriptions.
