• When I can’t wrap my head around a technical document or journal article, I print it. My brain craves paper. I’m a software engineer, so believe me that I would be live inside the computer if I could.

        😮 I definitely read better on my smartphone than on big paper, I always get lost if the medium is too large…

        Maybe that’s just my age🤔

      I’ve heard cybersec guys say they print off things like recovery codes and keep the physical copy stored. Also, entire governments still run on pen and paper (shitty inefficient governments).

      Hard copies. You should always keep hardcopies of your most important documents, financial records and certifications. Especially when users can be locked out of a cloud storage these days because an AI decided to flag their account.

          I recently learned that SSDs do not reliably store data for long amounts of time when unpowered.
