Codes are enforced at finalized at the local level. We've only abandoned stuff at the federal level, so far.

In most cases you'll need an inspection when you go to buy a home. Anytime you're changing a house you have to ask yourself "Will this hurt the ability to resell it later on?" This is going to end up on an inspection report and it's either going to have to be remedied or it's going to drop the value.

I'm a handyman. This will not pass an inspection because it lacks the handrail necessary to be code compliant. That's before even getting into tread width and lack of trip resistant rise.

Always a tradoff

I don't have a tower to put the poppy drive in. I'd rather make sure that these end up in a good home.

A poor musician always blames their instrument.

These came out in 98 And 99 so odds are they paid retail

You are correct. Sorry about that everything after 8-inch floppy is a blur.

What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.

Welcome to Uptown Sinclair's Jungle. You're going to die.

I had that happen too. Couldn't find something with DDG. Hopped over to Google and was shocked at how completely unusable it was.

Is the train okay?

I want to offer a long history of how everyone saw this coming but I think "LOL" is the best response

I'm only going to focus on one part because it shows the disconnect between you and I.

If you have a working printer, toner, paper...

Who said anything about a printer? I said hard copy. Not printout. Write it down. Carve it into rock or shape it in clay. 3000 cycles and you keep limiting yourself. That 200 pounds of copper wire could be pounded flat and marked with a sharp tool to create a long lasting hard copy. So many options for a hard copy and you defaulted to the one option we can't even get to work when everything is working.

90% of people would die within the first three months because they don't know how to cook and we have a three day supply rule in stores relying on just-in-time delivery.

If you make it past the first 90 you probably have seeds in the ground to get you to the next 90. We don't just inherit the environment, we shape it. We can start growing our own food within weeks, not reliant on ancestors

But let's get back to the topic. 3000 charge cycles, your number, is a lot. All that time can be used to make hard copies of essential information. You can learn how to salvage wire and build new energy sources. An average 2100²ft empty house has almost 200 pounds of copper wire in the walls. 3000 cycles to learn.

But thanks for telling me who I am and what skills I already have.

The average hunter gatherer only worked for about 3-6 hours a day. They had more free time than we do.

Point is that 3000 cycles is more than enough time to find or make a replacement even if society doesn't rebuild.

That's... a lot of cycles. That's almost a decade. Plenty of time to build an electric generator from scratch by traveling on foot to a copper mine and smelting the wire yourself. Unless you manage to pull an alternator from a car that can't find gasoline and save yourself the trip. From that you could make a gravity battery or any number of other options.

The average laptop is 65W. So the 40 amp solar battery station I built with a 100w panel could run a laptop 7 hours a day without any issues at all. Plenty of time to get actionable information out of it.
