Don’t a lot of offices / businesses in Japan still use fax machines and such on the daily? (Or am I dumb?), I don’t really find this suprising, despite the fact we associate Japan with high tech, most places take an “if its not broken don’t fix it” attitude to tech and tend to use a lot tech of what is considered obsolete because it still works for their needs.

I mean half the global banking sits a top a layer of COBOL because no one dares feck with it, it works and it would probably cost way to much to update to a more modern language, they just apply the occasional sacred oils and incantations to the machine god and prey that it does not explode.

Or maybe they just really liked that thunky noise when poping one in, it is pretty satisfing /s
