Re: viral meme post going around recently with the floppy diskette box with a physical lock on it.

Last night I ended up watching a bit of the first Mission Impossible movie while making dinner and saw the classic bit with Ethan stealing the NOC list. And while that was all cinematic security, a lot of it would work today for ultra-secure data:
- Air-gapped computer locked behind significant physical security
-Data input and output only through obsolete tech
-Logging every action on computer

Incidentally, I feel that the first Mission Impossible film holds up surprisingly well today, a lot better than I would have expected when I originally saw it on release in the theater.

It's also 30 years old this year! 😭

@adr It's interesting to see how recent the that review is and the comments are (10 mos - 1yr). It shows the staying power of that particular model of watch. And how well constructed stuff was in the 90s.
