Boeing 747s still get critical updates via floppy disks
(www.theverge.com)
Good.
This isn't really an issue
Better than updating the plane through the internet. I don't trust my printer with an Ethernet cable, much less a plane. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
No networks huh?
You'd get along with ol' Bill Adama.
Stability above all
I misread the title as saying that Boeing 747s gotcritical updates via floppy disks and I was so relieved.
As others said, better than OTA.
viagra has rendered floppy disks obsolete, that's why we mosly use hard disks now
I can't wait for COMAC to make that vomit stain of a company totally irrelevant.
same
I wonder if they still make 3.5" floppies...
that was my thought as well
