Remember reading same story 5 years ago and looks like nothing changed.

>“The system is currently working just fine, but we know that with each increasing year, risk of data degradation on the floppy disks increases and that at some point there will be a catastrophic failure,” Tumlin told ABC7.

So didnt even upgrade to digital Floppy emulators (gotek).

Don't change what works!!

In a world of AI, Internet Of Things, things released to please shareholders over users and usability, using old technology that just works is the most wise approach.
