I hear it's still relatively easy and cheap to buy a printer with fax capabilities.

I've been in businesses before that had a fax machine that I'd bet real money that literally no one there (at least at the moment I was visiting) even knew how to operate, lol

I am actually really xurious what happens if you moved the top line to the bottom.

That is, since the word can refer to either boyfriend or girlfriend, is the system just, flip flopping them.

Doesn't look like it.

As soon as I completed the word "stærk" it changed from "girlfriend" to "boyfriend".

Min kæreste passer børn
Min kæreste er stærk

Chuck E. Cheese still uses floppy disks in 2023, but not for long

Employee TikTok demos a robot show upgrade from floppy and DVD—possibly for the last time.

We had employees insistently using USB floppy drives, you read that correctly, through 2019. The lockdown broke them because the floppies were enshrined in dedicated desk drawer encasements of certain perpetuity which were inaccessible when the campus was closed. They are happy now to have that data on a truly portable stick or, better yet, in their Internet-accessible Onedrive folder.

Coonrod says it is the last update before his store undergoes a remodel that will remove the animatronics altogether.

Way to bury the lead here.

Pfft, this fad won't last long...

I had no idea they had "mobile phones" back then. They had gotten considerably smaller by the '60s.
