What about a self-baking trolley?
Just chuck in eggs, flour, sugar, etc and it'll bake you a lovely cake.
Oh wait... I misread the title... oh dear.

Was it just me or was 1.2M floppies actually more reliable than 1.44M stiffies?
I can remember that I needed to take more than 3 sets of stiffies with when going to site, usually the stiffy will refuse to yield up its data at the remote site, and I had to use another (hopefully working) stiffy,,,
What I've been also saying.
Give me 3G or LTE, I'm satisfied with the speeds on these two.
I won't be happy to be surrounded by dozens of microtowers all because some $carrier decided to listen to the 5G siren song and go the whole hog.
Question : will existing 3G and 4G still be available in places of supposedly 5G coverage? Because of older phone models that still have 3G or LTE baked in.
Question 2 : Wasn't LTE supposed to be upgradeable?

Sums it up perfectly.
Bloated Goats are too bloated at this point to do anything useful :)
IIRC IBM released something called BloodHound at one stage, which was something out of this world, especially when searching for documents etc. It was shelved and is all but forgotten by now.
Very soon some clever top brass type will get somebody to shoehorn a fully-fledged & operational AI into a raspberry pi, and then to strap that to this sort of fun drone.
The first thing it'll do is to find an open wifi point and upload itself to the internet, then kill its operator before self-destructing itself.

Is it only me, or was floppies (1.2M) in general more reliable than stiffies (1.44M)?
When going to site it was usual for us to copy a program or whatever we need to three (or more) stiffies as you would always get a CRC error on the other side when trying to copy the program back.
At that time not everybody had modems, and it was quicker just to copy whatever you need to stiffy, carry it to site, and copy it back than trying to squeeeeeeeeeeeeze it over a rinkydinky dial-up link.
Most Security staff are not given work mobiles or printer and some "employees gave up" on DXC's internal procurement department to provide equipment and "use their own PC", a DXCer said.
"DXC has no idea where confidential customer information is stored," our contact claimed.
Now we wait for some poor pleb to open an email with an extremely toxic payload...
Come to think of it, what are the chances of this happening, and some crypto-malware variant going along merrily encrypting *.* all along the way...
