The comment section is wild. So many people thinking that the Japanese government is somehow late to the floppy free party. Clearly they have no idea how dire the IT infrastructure situation is for the most critical systems of the world's major super powers

If you think the US government is floppy free, let alone capable of going floppy free in the next 5 years, I've got a bridge to sell ya

Meanwhile I'm pretty sure even putinism didn't stop Russia from being floppy-free

it would be pretty hilarious if sanctions push them to ditching floppies

Flopoies aren't used at all AFAIK. But email is. And USB tokens.
