LTO cartridges are shaped so much more efficiently, for so many reasons, so why specifically compact cassette format?

Although I’m also just realising now that LTO is specifically optimized to be used linearly from start to finish (It’s even in the name) and is pretty inefficient if you’d want to use it a bit, remove it and using reading it later.

Wait, you open attachments from spam?

I can’t speak for all European countries, but at least in the Netherlands they’re not a thing. We might still have money orders, which are similar, but I’ve never seen one used.

Instead we can just make instant bank transfers, even using a QR code, which you can generate in your own banking app and can be used with any other bank.

Same here, I used to have this image in my head of a eccentric entrepreneur pushing technology to the max with ‘fuck you money’.

Sure he said some crazy shit sometimes, but it kind of felt like he didn’t have much of a filter.

Around the time of the Thai cave thing this started to change, but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt until that point.

After that, things just went down hill…
