The German Navy wants a serious improve to its submarine frigate fleet, and we’re not speaking a few digital add or some form of software program patch. The nation’s submarine frigate fleet has been working utilizing older 8-inch floppy disks since they have been commissioned within the Nineties.
Now, the German Navy is looking for a option to substitute an outdated disk system that’s “important to the operation of the Brandenburg-class F123 frigates,” in accordance with studies Tom’s Hardcore.
Changing a floppy disk system shouldn’t be a simple process. These disks management almost every little thing on the ship, from airflow methods to energy technology. Does the German Navy nonetheless use PDAs to prepare code and Tamagotchis to coach recruits in marine wildlife conservation?
Saab has been liable for the upkeep of Germany’s F123 frigate fleet since 2021, in accordance with a press launch. The frigates are designed to hunt for submarines, so their weapons and weapons management methods have additionally been upgraded. Hopefully they will additionally provide a cool, luxurious evening panel sprint at no cost.
Many authorities companies and packages have been utilizing floppy disk methods for many years, after outdated laptop storage methods fell out of frequent use. Japan Digital Company introduced earlier this month that it will not use floppy disks in its authorities methods. Does this imply that someplace on the earth, core authorities companies are nonetheless utilizing these Commodore cartridges to retailer their most necessary info? We hope these disks is not going to be related to entry to nuclear weapons…as they’re in america.
