"Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and RT's interference in the US elections."

Japan declares victory in 'war' on floppy disks

It's taken until 2024, but Japan has finally said goodbye to floppy disks.
Up until last month, people were still asked to submit documents to the government using the outdated storage devices, with more than 1,000 regulations requiring their use.
