Mad that it's used for drones.
I'm sure you could easily use highly directional radio waves to avoid ECMs and that'd be a cleaner solution. But if it works it works. -

we'd walk thru 'cold' ranges where they launched wire guided missiles and we'd find the 'threads' all over the place. its like thick spider webs but is fairly strong. it cuts with a knife or scissors with zero problem. for shits and giggles we'd pull it as hard as possible to see how long of a piece we could get but it was always tangled up in grass or some other bullshit so we'd never get a piece that was very long. -

This is false.
The reason flash memory was and is adopted (flash EMMC, NAND, etc) is due to the smaller package size, improved read/write speeds, and resistance to environmental degredation like optical disks are prone to (UV light, scratching, etc).
Granted, if you store data on optical media and then store that optical media in pristine conditions, it theoretically could outlast the data saved on flash memory, but who actually does that? What consumer is burning data to discs and then storing those discs in a pitch black, vacuum sealed chamber with nitrogen gas pumping through it 24/7 and maintaining a constant temperature? No one.
It makes more sense to use flash memory that has much faster read/write speeds over optical disc (with current consumer tech), smaller package size (no need for a dedicated 5.25" or external reader drive to read/write), has no mechanical moving parts to wear out over the years, doesn't require extensive, dedicated factories to manufacture the media and all the raw materials to make the discs (they can use already existing factories that make RAM dies), all of the environmental waste of unused/damaged/bad discs that build up, etc.
Flash memory is the current tech and will be for the forseeable future.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2024-03-13 at 4:39 AM UTCphotocopiers technically have a read/write speed comparable to the speed of light
the only problem is taking that data and computerizing it will instantly bring that speed down to 0.1% as there is no way to transmit light into data at a 1:1 scale basis.... yet
