Turn On Subtitles Btw They Are Written n synced also comment sum for the algorithm ill read it
Also your corrections bellow
@sunnohh
You know what’s crazy? 1.44 mb floppies are 25 years more advanced and new than the pictured 8 inch floppy with an incredible 80kb of data storage, unformatted
Also before more people say “if its broke don’t fix it”, brother every single system infrastructure is always being updated/adjusted constantly for optimization and security.
It may not be broke and need fixing, but all of the tech world strives for maximum profit margins therefore they optimize as much as possible.

Honestly it feels much better for security to have them using dated tech. How are you gonna hack a floppy disk?
Rolling release😎
good, if it ran on modern tech we'd all be fucked
i subbed, please make the virus video!
Anti-retro tech enthusiast.
Wonder if they’re still using the old hardware (which is getting pricier + harder to find) or if they’re using a VM. Even if that VM is disconnected from the Internet, someone’s bound to crack that thing. Tech’s such a wonderfully convenient yet exploitable thing no matter where ya look :p
Here because I was talking about how these systems still are in operation today with regards to nuclear weaponry. As a armchair computer history buff I just think these systems are cool. Gotta Be ready when Alphacore tries to install a virus into Eniac someday.
Great editing and accent. 🤸♀️
Слишком много раздражающих аудиоэффектов. Дизлайк.
Maybe they're using it because it was American made and there are no built-in back doors to exploit so they stick with the safe but old because of security reasons maybe?
you deserve way more subs man
recommendation algorithms aren't based on how much effort went into some video, but the results they get, which is generally hard to predict before release.
you can learn it but it takes forever and costs a lot. it wasn't the first language, it was one of the earliest high level languages that were more easy to understand (like BASIC is). Fortran was earlier, and assembly, while not high level, was used for simplifying and improving machine code development
Don't think about it as jenga, this is wrong. It's an issue with the dumbing down of society and the population at large. The people who made these systems were extremely smart, those who replaced them weren't. This happened for decade's and now we are in the position that we're in. The engines of the atlas rocket are a perfect example. Even with modern tech, we can't recreate them because the skill is lost
It isn't outdated, it's legacy
Make a video about the viruses. Cause why not? I'd watch it.
Subbed!
I need to know this.
Jesus loves yall
Wild that floppys are so old youve gotta explain them.
Indian Railways still runs on VAX/VMS. Hey if it's not broke, don't fix it right? Thing is, in the year 2200 or even 2500, they will probably still be running on VAX/VMS! It's that rock solid!
Define "outdated"
Good channel
Yeah man let's build bridges that should stand for decades with new math and barely tested cement, sadly in the software industry theirs no continues improvement but deprecation which gets u stuck at a level u can moslty not move out of
You getting the ramen out is what made me decide to subscribe. Good stuff bro 😂
Old technology definitely has its place However, what most folks don't know is that a lot of our infrastructure especially the nuclear boom boom kind is still ran by vacuum tubes since they are nuclear hardened.
Meaning? A EMP will not destroy the vacuum tubes and that's something that integrated logic circuits Just aren't capable of to the same degree.
It's pretty popular and kind of scary that some of these vacuum tubes that are in use were manufactured in the 40s and 50s Some of them as old as the 1930s being new old stock Tubes.
The real problem with writing any virus software for these systems is that they are so completely individualized you would need to have the exact same hardware to be able to write any virus code for the hardware through the software..
And even if you did do something like that you still have no idea about how the system was set up Has that kind of stuff is in fact still heavily classified even years and years later.
Now it's not impossible, but the likelihood of that ever happening is almost slim to none has many of these systems simply just don't have any easy way to transfer any kind of data to these systems nor their storage media.
The reason why this antiquated technology is still being in years is that you can literally custom manufacture these parts in your 3D printer and they would be up and running unless then an hour many times the custom read heads are also simple wire wound devices that you could literally make by hand if you had to..
These systems were designed not only to last 20 years or for a certain predetermined amount of time but to be used a hundred years down the road and they would still exactly function and boot up and still work just like you install that yesterday.
electrolytic caps? absolutely not!
everything in these systems was designed to last as long as possible and of course you're going to have problems with such things as burnt out resistors but with the over 400% tolerance of some of these items out of the box it's rare to completely negligible.
Our power grid however, yeah that's a problem I'm not going to go into it any further but yeah that's a big issue
I dont think ive ever heard of a floppy disk referred to as a "really old memory card" but i mean, hes not wrong…
US nuclear launch systems were updated a year or 2 ago now i think. But the reason they held on so long to them was because security through obscurity. Basically idea being you can't hack a typewriter.
Idk I mean If it works it works, not everything has to be running on modern computers just for the sake of modernization. AFAIK these systems aren’t struggling to run the computations they need to and aren’t connected to the internet, so why fix what isn’t broken?
Edit: it’s like 3am and I thought this video was just about military nuclear systems LMAOOOO
And now whole world running on javascript, truly a dystopia
Sigh, no a floppy disc is nota very old memory card, it's a magneric storeage medium , it hasn't got a single semiconductor in it. Sorry for the rant but if we take your logic ton the extreme we end ap calling a stack of punched cards from the start if the history of computing " a very old memory card,"and don't you agree that thus sounds a bit silly. They are all storage mediums but ftom different generations and employing vastly different technologies. All rhatbsaid the rest of the video was a job well donr
I'd rather use 1970 tech that was build to safely handle nukes, than general purpose computer. It works, there's nothing to gain from upgrading
Im a college student who has clinical rotations at a hospital and the computer that we use to analyze blood gases is running on windows XP…… 1st world country btw…….
the retraining problem would be so simple to solve. windows for example had a pretty standardized ui layout for decades but now some genius decided to mess it all up. is it really so hard to just update the stuff that makes things work in the background and let the user facing stuff be as is. and for ancient stuff some kind of emulation or compatibility layer could work. if its a first party thing it should work perfectly as they have all the information about all those proprietary pieces too. not sure how much of a problem cobol would be as ibm etc still make shiny new mainframes. when people talk about this it always sounds like they mean that there is some dusty old vacuum tube machine in some corner of the bank doing all the stuff 😹 for nukes maybe there would be some more reliable tech than those soft shell floppy disks but you really don't want that stuff on some outsourced saas javascript remote controlled mess that some random kid will find one day
One thing it really worries me, is that on 2038 all 32 bit systems will become unusable.
Welcome back y2k !
And like, i used to work at repairing computers and laptops, and just seeing a lot of them with 32 bits was concerning
Even if like your windows xp is never connected to the internet. There are tons of others computers in the world managing sensitive info running on 2000 server or xp
Outdated, and yet as the computer hardware space has shown the technology continues to go up in price and is becoming increasingly sought after for some reason.
Sometimes having simple NXP80P31 with 64 KB of winbond flash memory (even less than an 8 inch floppies concidered outdated when 3.5 inch floppies with a whole megabyte of memory where a thing) or even just an AT89C52 is way better than dealing with mental disorder that is modern equipment (just think of your router than can randomly just say "I dOnT wAnT tO WoRk AnYmOrE" and your internet is gone untill you gonna powercycle this ducking router)
If it is possible to put a job on microcontroller architecture developed in late 1970s, than do it. MCS-51 is beautiful and simple architecture, and i wish it is still used today as often as it is 20-30 years ago. Nowerdays other than some kitchen tech, industrial equipment. elevator control panels, LED screens, maybe some train/tram systems and intercom systems its hard to find MCS-51 alive and usable.
as a software dev, I don't even need to watch the video. Everything is outdated, there's no time or money to replace it all, if it works why update it
I need more technical language in this video.
you’re welcome 😉
And it may sound bad, but in grand scheme of things, that's still way better than actual humans doing work very slowly. Sure, it's not ideal, but over time systems will be updated too.
good video
Older tech is not bad at all. A lot of manufacturing machines run on windows 95 or windows 2000 and since they will never be connected to the internet the chances of them getting hacked is nonexistent
iMAGINE THE GUY IN THE 50S WHO MADE COBOL:
"I know a solution, lets make punchcards!"
– ends up trolling the entire world for like 2 decades
MM..FOOD
A lot of the older systems still in use are airgapped/isolated systems, for example container ships use an offline industrial system for navigation software, which typically is fed from read only discs, this ensures that the navigation system cannot be compromised and cause catastrophic issues. This isn't ideal in say a live environment which requires constant changes. But security though obscurity is a thing, I've seen cases where people use out dated systems purely because its so old or obscure no one writes malware for it, or sometimes there simply isn't anything to replace it.
nice, subbed
Most of the people around in the web would be flabbergasted by the amount of outdated tech is present in “modern” industries (food&bev/oil&gas/pharma…)
Nice hair fam 😎
Never cut it.
A video on a topic I was seriously interested by a small channel…. time to get some popcorn.
Excellent video!
