“Boeing 747s still use floppy disks” — true, but not the whole story.
We dive into why some legacy aircraft systems still rely on them, and what that says about IT today: stability > hype.

Found a couple iPod Shuffles in a box. Plug them in (yes, I had one charge/sync cable!), wait 5 minutes to get some charge on the battery, and Shazam, one GIG of capacity in all its glory.
Grab some wired headphones and hello Genesis Abacab, it’s been a hot minute…

Remember that ancient router in the server room? Turns out, AI is making it a VIP target for attackers, according to Cisco. It's not just 'aging tech' anymore, it's 'AI-vulnerable tech'.
What's the oldest piece of tech you're still relying on (and secretly praying doesn't break)?

huh, grafana and friends are being considered #legacytech already.
are there viable alternatives in the oss realm or time to brush up on #b4devops tools like nagios, munin smokeping, and cacti?

Brand new HP M501dn has TLS 1.0/1.1 enabled, no way to disable.
Update firmware to latest(!) 2021(!) version and now there’s a menu page to turn that off.
Printer came out in 2016, sadly no “use by 2019” date on the package…

...thinking out-of-the-box. Time for the #US to stop the partisan fighting and catch up.
These big #LegacyTech #AircraftCarriers from the (previous) #ColdWar period?--I think the #60Minutes report indirectly shows that they could be "sitting ducks" for the #PRC's new rockets...
Oh, and yes, 2027 seems like a plausible date for a #Chinese invasion of the #RepublicOfChina. If #MoscowAgentGriftingAmerica, #MAGA #Trump remains the...

"a stark new #reality: With #AI, #legacytech companies are sucking the innovation out of the room like a giant squid & more rapidly than w previous waves of #technology. And they're doing it right under the noses of #regulators. Requirements around computing power & talent hv made it too expensive for most companies to build cutting-edge #generativeAI models without e #patronage of a tech giant .. Bec #bigtech buys, rather than innovates, the strategy benefits #Microsoft"

I have an original Microsoft Surface Pro with original keyboard in near pristine condition. Now running Windows 10. It was bought for me at a Microsoft convention in California in (I think) 2015, just after the Surface range was launched. Now has an aftermarket charger, but I still have the original USA charger, which works, but has an output cable fault. Is this thing of any value? #microsoft #computers #legacytech

I'm trying to remember the term for when a company stops supporting your "smart" thermostat. It's so horrible what happened to these people.

I haven’t used a floppy disk since 2005, but yes they are still using them because of legacy machines. Probably most if not all of Gen Z wonder, what are those things called floppy disks.
