Thanks a lot, security researchers.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Some very sensitive US installations use(d?) 5.25" or maybe the 7"-ish?
At the time I read/watched about it they had no plans to change because it was considered another layer of making it difficult to get subversive; procuring the disks and drives.

That even makes sense, but I really doubt that's the reason behind it in germany, where most of the public services still use fax and you have to go personally to whereever you need something and bring paper copies of the rperequsites, because they can't check it themselves in the database.

If they keep stealing all of our data, they will run out of disk space eventually.
How many copies do they even need anyway?

I think people are going to be very, very surprised when they see how much of their information is already out there. Hopefully this will get us moving to the next level of cyber security where people understand that a new breach isn't going to make any difference to them, but rather that they need to protect against the information already available to criminals.

After the AT&T breach, it's all nickel and dime...

A very good point. Put effort into mediating the effects of the information out there already.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Give one to the CodeWitch, I bet she'll find something they didn't think of.
To be clear, that's a statement of respect.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have trained a humanoid robot to effortlessly learn and perform a variety of expressive movements, including simple dance routines and gestures like waving, high-fiving and hugging, all while maintaining a steady gait on diverse terrains. As a bonus, it's now prepared when it's time to dance on our graves

I KNOW it is just a machine but why does seeing that make me want to go throttle all those bullies?

Do we really want machines pretending to be humans? I certainly don't! I'd rather be alone than talking to a machine!
Way, way back in time, when my late mother first time encountered an interactive computer program, and it wrote on the console, "What do you want me to do for you, Ellen?", she was so impressed: It knows my name! It is talking to me personally! ... I had started programming then, even studied the source code of an early implementation of Eliza (this was in the 1970s) and knew very well that all there was to it, was a fixed string concatenated with her login name. Not much "personal" about that!
Today's text generators are more advanced than Eliza in the 1970s, but to me, they are the same thing. Not much "AI" to it. If I really needed a therapist, maybe Eliza could be of some help, yet I don't want it. If I want a dance with a girl, and I am offered a machine who knows the dance steps, I don't want it. I don't want any machine pretending to be anything else than a machine! So I do not object to machines doing the work for me - quite to the contrary. But let us understand that they are machines.
At this very moment, I am talking to a machine. Luckily, it doesn't pretend to be a human at all. I am happy with that.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

So a robot doing the robot dance would be a robot pretending to be a human pretending to be a robot...
