Sometimes it’s the ancient ways of tech that still work the best, even if you can’t convince folks like Elon that it’s still worth it.
Back with the whole DOGE wiping in the US government, one of the things they tried to get credit for deleting was converting 14,000 magnetic tapes to digital storage. Allegedly saving a million dollars, but making things worse overall.
Magnetic tape is used for longterm storage because it’s super cost-efficient and long-lasting. And while it’s a 70 year old standard, it’s experiencing a modern boom.
Fujifilm just announced that they’re quintupling the production of their tape division because it’s such a hot commodity as regular storage is getting gobbled up by data centers, and becoming inaccessible.
