Cost-saving? Bah.
A trivial but revealing note from New Superstitionist.
CERN, the biggest and most modern and most advanced and most fashionable and most expensive research facility in the world, still uses mainframe-style TAPE for recording data.
THEY KNOW IT'S A HOAX BECAUSE THEY'RE BUILDING THE HOAX.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) wakes from a three-year shutdown next month when beam tests begin ahead of experimental work. During the downtime, upgrades were made to the computer centres that handle the vast amounts of data produced when particles smash into each other close to the speed of light. But, despite the LHC being the most expensive scientific instrument built, the information it collects is still archived on magnetic tape – a technology that has barely changed since 1952. Alberto Pace says that when it comes to storage “we are looking for cheap”, and tape is more cost-effective than hard discs or flash memory.I don't buy the cost-saving excuse. These monsters have infinite funding. If they really needed reliable storage, they could easily develop a "quantum entanglement" storage system or a "Higgs boson" storage system if those phenomena really existed. Or they could rent AWS cloud storage since they're an active and eager part of Deepstate. The rest of Deepstate only obliterates #Whole-of-society or #Whole-of-government. LHC is ready to obliterate #Whole-of-universe with a black #whole when commanded.
