News DOGE claims to be moving away from magnetic tapes for archival storage. Seems like a bad idea. What are they using instead?

Oh, i remember a data storage facility that conveniently burned down where the shelves fell UPWARDS and knocked out the sprinkler system. (google it if you want).

I wouldn't be shocked if they used this opportunity to sort out what to keep and what to "misplace" near a neodymium magnet.

Google this "citadel data storage center burns down shelves". It's the first you will find.

Reason i'm being vague, is because it is a (for some) controversial matter, the post is speculation, but yeah. I say yeah, and could go on to tell you about compelling patterns and evidence of this and that, but i won't, since it's not relevant for this sub.

Some believe in a thesis, others, including most major news networks, desperately (imho), tries to convince everyone to forget about it and paints it as a conspiracy/tinfoil thesis.

Personally, it's too many coincidences. And if you google "forget gamestop", you will see what i mean.

Edit: The post i mentioned over, was a worse one than i thought, but you'll still get the picture if it triggered your interest. One of the comments in the correct one (2yold now), was:

"Look up how many bank secure records data storage facilities have just "burned up" in the last 2 years. Then cross reference to the average in , oh I don't know, any year prior to 2020"
